Special Activity Permit program may be appropriate include hunting and off-road vehicle
use. A fee may be collected to capture the administrative cost of these programs.
(1) A general plan for operating the Special Activity Permit program, including the
fee structure, will be submitted by the District Commander for approval by the MSC, prior
to charging any fees. The plan will include a public information plan, which will include
congressional notification.
(2) Special activity permits that restrict hunting activities are not required to
coincide entirely with laws for the protection of fish and game of the state in which it is
situated. Use permits, however, cannot be inconsistent with these laws. The Corps may be
more restrictive than state law when necessary. Examples of this include limiting hunting
on an area to a time period less than the state hunting season or reducing specific bag limits
to a number less than the state's.
9-7 Other Equipment, Facilities and Services. Fees may be charged for certain other
outdoor recreation related equipment and services provided at government expense for
visitor use. Examples include firewood, ice, laundry machine use, shower use, dump
station use, parking, and recreation equipment rental, such as rent-a-tent.
a. Discretion should be used in charging fees for other equipment and services to
assure visitors aren't charged more than once for the same services. For instance, paying
campers using services such as showers and dump stations should not be charged separate
use fees for these services. In such cases, the availability of these services is appropriately
considered when the camping fee is established. Separate shower or dump station fees
may be charged for day users or transient visitors not paying camping fees.
b. Parking fees in campgrounds may be charged for user's vehicles in excess to the
number permitted on the campsite. No additional parking fees may be charged for user
vehicles parked on the campsite in accordance with the designated vehicle carrying
capacity. Designated, improved parking spaces must be provided elsewhere in the park to
charge separate parking fees.
