36.25.162    SPECIAL RECREATIONAL USE OF STATE LANDS

(1) No special recreational use of state lands may occur without first obtaining a special recreational use license from the department. This requirement applies whether or not any or all of the persons involved in the special recreational use have obtained general recreational use licenses pursuant to ARM 36.25.146.

(2) To obtain a special recreational use license, a person must be at least 18 years of age or the head of a family and apply to the area or unit office on a form prescribed by the department. The applicant shall provide a description of or a map showing the area intended for use.

(3) Before granting a special recreational use license, the department shall make a bona fide attempt to notify the lessee of the application.

(4) To obtain a special recreational use license, a person must pay to the department the amount that the department determines to be the full market value of that use. A license granted pursuant to this rule may be subject to competitive bidding.

(5) A license granted pursuant to this rule may be exclusive, except the department shall reserve the right to grant other licenses for different uses on the same land. Issuance of an exclusive license does not prohibit general recreational use of state lands that have not been closed pursuant to ARM 36.25.150 or ARM 36.25.152.

(6) A license issued pursuant to this rule shall include provisions regulating motor vehicle use and requiring that only certified weed seed free hay be brought onto the state land. The license may include other restrictions on the activity.

(7) The holder of a special recreational use license shall comply with all provisions of that license.

(8) Pursuant to 77-1-804(8) , MCA, the department may assess a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each day of violation of this rule. The department may waive the civil penalty for minor or technical violations. The penalty assessment standards and procedures contained in ARM 36.25.157 are applicable to civil penalty proceedings under this rule.
