02 NCAC 60B .1003          PERMITS

(a)  Any violation of a permit constitutes grounds for its revocation by the Department. In case of a permit revocation the permit holder shall forfeit to the Department all monies paid for the permit. Furthermore, the Department shall consider the permit holder, together with the permit holder's agents and employees who violated such terms, jointly and severally liable to the Department for all damages suffered in excess of money so forfeited. However, neither the forfeiture of such money, nor the recovery of such damages, relieves such persons from statutory punishment for any violation of a State Forest, State Recreational Forest, or Educational State Forest rule.

(b)  Applications for permits shall be submitted to the North Carolina Forest Service's office during business hours. Applications may be found at https://ncforestservice.gov/. The permit application shall include the company or organization name, address, contact with title, phone number, email address, description of the activity or the event with the location to be permitted, access areas to be used, timeframe of the activity or event, estimated number of participants, liability insurance, and medical plan. Applications shall be approved by the Forest Supervisor or designee in advance of the act permitted.
