Section 11 AAC 09.330 - Commercial camps(a) A commercial enterprise wishing to establish a camp on state land in a recreation river must apply to the department for a commercial-use permit. A limited number of permits is available allowing camps for longer than four days between May 15 and August 31 of each year. Guidelines established in the management plan specify the number of permits and the general locations available.(b) A permit is issued for the term of the actual use of a commercial camp. The permitted use may include related activities, such as storage of the disassembled camp.(c) Each permit for longer than four days between May 15 and August 31 of each year will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until such time as the commissioner determines that the demand exceeds the supply. At that time, the department will initiate a lottery or an auction for the years following the year in which the demand exceeded the supply.(d) A commercial camp must be located consistent with the management plan described in 11 AAC 09.005. However, a camp may not be:(1) located in a public use site;(2) located below ordinary high water;(3) located within 100 feet of a waterbody or wetland;(4) located within 300 feet of a recognized heritage site;(5) authorized if it does not minimize evidence of human activity as seen from the river;(6) allowed to block public easements or trails; or(7) located within one-quarter mile of a bald eagle nest.Eff. 12/13/95, Register 136Authority:AS 41.23.400
