On those lands where the Commission is the landowner or lead managing agency,
written authorization is required for special events that are in violation of
Commission rules, require Commission resources (personnel or equipment),
require additional infrastructure, or would have significant impacts on natural
resources, cultural resources or public use. A special event is an organized
occasion that includes, but is not limited to, events such as sport
competitions, recreational events and fundraisers. The Commission shall issue a
written authorization when the applicant proposes natural or cultural resource
related activities that do not unduly impact the resource, interfere with other
users, or impose significant costs to the Commission. The Commission shall
impose upon a Special Use Authorization issued pursuant to this subsection such
reasonable conditions as are necessary to assure that the use or activity
authorized will limit liability to the agency and protect fish, wildlife,
natural and cultural resources.
