authorized to sell permits and collect fees from the public at campgrounds, day-use

facilities, administration offices and other locations, including those off-site. Contract fee

collectors/volunteers must be bonded in accordance with provisions of ER 37-2-10.

(3) A multi-area fee collection station may be used where several recreation areas

are grouped in the same general location. Such stations must have easy public access and

must be easy for the public to identify. Multi-area fee collection stations could be located

at project offices, visitor centers, at one of the areas being served or on an access road

common to all areas served. Where multi-area collection stations are used, it is especially

important that there be good informational and directional signs to alert the public to the

requirement for fees and to explain the location of the fee collection station.

(4) Where small and/or remote camp areas are included in the fee collection system,

the Self Deposit Vault System may be used to reduce the cost of collection. The self-

deposit vault system will be implemented as follows:

(a) ENG Form 4839 (Self Deposit Permit), a sealable envelope with a detachable

stub will be used to pay fees. The stub will be retained by the camper as his/her receipt

and site identification. These forms will be procured locally as needed to meet program

requirements.

(b) A registration point will be located at the entrance of the camp area, which has:

(1) A sign instructing the user on the self-deposit system, stating the fee for the area,

and indicating a 50 percent reduction of fees applies for bearers of Golden Age or Golden

Access Passports.

(2) A secure honor vault (program integrity guidance is provided at Appendix O).

(3) Supply of ENG Form 4839 (Self-Deposit Permit).

(c) In camp areas administered in this manner, each campsite should be equipped

with a holder for displaying the permit stub. The sign at the fee collection point should

provide instructions for completion and display of the permit stub. Bearers of Golden

Age/Golden Access Passports are required to enter their passport number on the fee

envelope.
