[Chaos-l] Special use permit of Boating Access Area

[sims roy]

I read the description and I think we can apply for a special use permit and meet the conditions that were stated:

"In addition, approval is
conditional. One condition is that the tournament or
other special use must not interfere with the intended
use of the area. The second is that the permitted
activity should not block the ramps or disrupt area
use. A third condition is that the Commission promotes
the "Pack it in, Pack it out" mission meaning that the
permit recipient is required to remove all litter
generated at the site by event participants. Fourth,
no signs or banners may be erected on-site to endorse
commercial products. And lastly, the permit must be
available for inspection on-site during the event(s).
One additional restriction is that Commission does not
allow the selling of goods, materials, or services at
any BAA facility. "

We'd need to list the dates and times and give a typical head count for Nov to Nov each year and state that we would meet the conditions listed above.  I think it should just be a matter of applying for the permit and make our case.  I guess they need something to protect themselves from criticism.  Sims Roy

  Subject: [Chaos-l] Special use permit of Boating Access Area


  I was looking through the website posted by Micheal
  Hrivnak, and came across a "Special use Permit"
  description.  I have attached the description below. 
  I have read it several times, and have the feeling
  that we (CHAOS) might qualify.  I invite all to read
  and make sure that I have not missed anything.  In a
  nutshell, we (as in an organisation, not individual)
  request the permit and provide advanced information
  abt the specific days; and if approved, are given a
  permit that needs to be shown during the event.

  Allthough the description below appears specific for
  "tournament weigh-in", note that is also followed by
  "and special use".

  -----------------------------
  Every year the NCWRC issues fishing tournament
  weigh-in, and special use permits for each Wildlife
  Resources Commission Boating Access Area (BAA). The
  main purpose of these permits is to ensure that only
  allowable activities occur and that multiple large
  events do not occur concurrently at any site thereby
  helping to manage congestion and user accessibility.
  Currently, these permits are issued at no fee and are
  mailed or emailed to permit so that it will be
  available on-site during the special use or tournament
  weigh-in. 
  These permits are first come, first serve. Thus, in
  order to guarantee that a BAA site is available, it is
  recommended that you need to call early within the
  request period. The request period for each year
  begins on November 1 of the preceding year. Currently,
  weigh-in permits that authorize fewer than 15 boats
  are issued as blanket authorizations and remain valid
  until January 31 of the following year. 
  All organizations should be aware that these permits
  do not reserve a BAA, and the site will remain
  available to others. In addition, approval is
  conditional. One condition is that the tournament or
  other special use must not interfere with the intended
  use of the area. The second is that the permitted
  activity should not block the ramps or disrupt area
  use. A third condition is that the Commission promotes
  the "Pack it in, Pack it out" mission meaning that the
  permit recipient is required to remove all litter
  generated at the site by event participants. Fourth,
  no signs or banners may be erected on-site to endorse
  commercial products. And lastly, the permit must be
  available for inspection on-site during the event(s).
  One additional restriction is that Commission does not
  allow the selling of goods, materials, or services at
  any BAA facility. 
  Wildlife Resources Commission BAA's are available to
  the public for the purpose of providing free public
  boat launching. Fishing tournament weigh-ins and other
  special uses require a permit from the Division of
  Engineering Services. Wildlife Enforcement Officers
  may request confirmation that a permit has been
  acquired. 
  When you call, please be prepared to provide:
  . an organization name 
  . contact name 
  . mailing address 
  . boating access area name 
  . body of water 
  . a date for the requested event 
  If the event is a tournament weigh-in with fewer than
  fifteen (15) boats involved, you will not need to
  provide a tournament date nor location under the
  current guidelines. If you know that you will have
  several tournaments within the same year, it is best
  to call with all your dates at the same time, so that
  our office will be able to combine all the tournament
  permits into one.

  Any thoughts?
