Except as provided in clause IV.I.3(c), the holder is required to submit for written approval by the authorized officer an initial SA prior to use and occupancy under this permit and a follow-up SA prior to termination or upon revocation of this permit. The initial and follow-up SAs shall be incorporated into this permit as Appendix E.

(a) Purposes. The purpose of initial and follow-up SAs is to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions in the permit area, that is, the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the permit area: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. A comparison of the initial and follow-up SAs shall assist the authorized officer in determining whether any environmental cleanup or restoration is required as a result of the use and occupancy. Any cleanup or restoration shall be completed promptly by the holder in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, to the satisfaction of the authorized officer and at no expense to the United States.

(b) Standard. All SAs must be conducted by the holder’s environmental professional with the requisite certification and experience and must meet the objectives and performance factors of 40 CFR Part 312, Innocent Landowners, Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries. The holder may use The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) guideline E1527-13, entitled Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, or the most recent version (40 CFR 312.11(b)), or select an alternate practice that constitutes all appropriate inquiries consistent with good commercial and customary practices.

(c) Exceptions. If a new permit will be issued to the same holder upon expiration of this permit, the follow-up SA shall satisfy the requirement for an initial SA for the new permit. Initial and follow-up SAs are not required when this permit is revoked at the request of the holder and a new permit is issued to the holder for the balance of this permit’s term or when this permit is reissued for the balance of its term to the holder due to a modification pursuant to 36 CFR 251.61(a), provided that an initial SA shall be completed in either of these scenarios if one has not been done by the holder. When a new permit is issued due to transfer of title to the improvements or change in control of the business entity that holds this permit, the holder may rely on the initial SA performed by the future holder, provided that it is accepted by the authorized officer prior to termination of this permit.

(d) Cleanup or Other Remedial Action Based on the Initial SA. If the initial SA shows that a hazardous substance release is present in the permit area, the holder shall be responsible for any cleanup or other remedial action that the Forest Service determines to be required in the permit area based on the initial SA. The level of cleanup or other remedial action shall be commensurate with the holder’s intended use and occupancy of the permit area and shall be completed before the holder’s use and occupancy commence.

4. Oil Discharges and Release of Hazardous Materials. The holder shall immediately notify all appropriate response authorities, including the National Response Center and the authorized officer or the authorized officer’s designated representative, of any oil discharge or of the release of a hazardous material in the permit area in an amount greater than or equal to its reportable quantity, in accordance with 33 CFR Part 153 and 40 CFR Part 302. For the purposes of this requirement, “oil” is as defined by section 311(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321(a)(1). The holder shall immediately notify the authorized officer or the authorized officer’s designated representative of any release or threatened release of any hazardous material in or near the permit area which may be harmful to public health or welfare or which may adversely affect natural resources on federal lands.

5. Remediation of Release of Hazardous Materials. The holder shall remediate any release, threat of release, or discharge of hazardous materials that occurs in connection with the holder’s activities in the permit area, including activities conducted by the holder's agents, employees, contractors, or lessees and regardless of whether those activities are authorized under this permit. The holder shall perform remediation in accordance with applicable law immediately upon discovery of the release, threat of release, or discharge of hazardous materials. The holder shall perform the remediation to the satisfaction of the authorized officer and at no expense to the United States. Upon revocation or termination of this permit, the holder shall deliver the site to the Forest Service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and free and clear of contamination.

J. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE UNITED STATES. The holder shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the United States for any costs, damages, claims, liabilities, and judgments arising from past, present, and future acts or omissions of the holder in connection with the use and occupancy authorized by this permit. This indemnification provision includes but is not limited to acts and omissions of the holder or the holder's heirs, assignees, agents, employees, contractors, or lessees in connection with the use and occupancy authorized by this permit which result in (1) violations of any laws and regulations which are now or which may in the future become applicable; (2) judgments, claims, demands, penalties, or fees assessed against the United States; (3) costs, expenses, and damages incurred by the United States; or (4) the release or threatened release of any solid waste, hazardous waste, hazardous materials, pollutant, contaminant, oil in any form, or petroleum product into the environment. The authorized officer may prescribe terms that allow the holder to replace, repair, restore, or otherwise undertake necessary curative activities to mitigate damages in combination with or as an alternative to monetary indemnification.

For purposes of the calculation, GFA will be adjusted as follows: Full value will be allowed for assets used solely to generate sales for permitted operations. No value will be given for assets used solely to generate sales for private operations. Assets used jointly to generate sales for private and permitted operations will be allocated on a basis of use. All GFA will be shown on the depreciation schedule.

B. LAND USE FEES UNDER GRFS. The annual land use fees due the United States for those activities authorized by this permit shall be calculated on sales according to the following schedule:

Break-Even Point Balance of

(Sales to GFA) Rate Base Sales Rate

(%) (%) (%)

Type of Business

Grocery 70 .75 1.13

Service, Food 70 1.25 1.88

Service, Car 70 1.30 1.95

Merchandise 70 1.50 2.25

Service, Liquor 60 1.80 2.70

Outfitting/Guiding 50 2.00 3.00

Rental and Services 30 4.50 6.75

Lodging 40 4.00 6.00

Lifts, Tows, Ski Schools 20 2.00 5.00

1. A weighted-average break-even point (called the break-even point) and a weighted-average rate base (called the rate base) shall be calculated and used when applying the schedule to mixed business. If the holder's business records do not clearly segregate the sales into the business categories authorized by this permit, they shall be placed in the most logical category. If sales with a different rate base are grouped, place them all in the rate category that shall yield the highest land use fee. Calculate the land use fee on sales below the break-even point using 50 per cent of the rate base. Calculate the land use fee on sales between the break-even point and twice the break-even point using 150 percent of the rate base. Calculate the land use fee on sales above twice the break-even point using the balance of sales rate.

2. The minimum annual land use fee for this use, which is due in advance and is not subject to refund, shall be equal to the land use fee that would result when sales are 40 percent of the break-even point. This land use fee shall be calculated and billed by the Forest Service during the final quarter of the holder's fiscal year, using the most recent GFA figure and previously reported sales data for the current year, plus, if the operating season is still active, estimated sales for the remainder of the year.

Prior to revocation or suspension, other than revocation at the request of the holder under clause VII.A.2 and immediate suspension under clause VII.C, the authorized officer shall give the holder written notice of the grounds for revocation or suspension and a reasonable period, not to exceed 90 days, to cure any noncompliance.

B. REVOCATION FOR SPECIFIC AND COMPELLING REASONS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. The authorized officer may revoke this permit during its term if the Forest Service determines based on a land management planning decision that the use and occupancy authorized by this permit should be changed for specific and compelling reasons in the public interest, other than a determination under clause IV.E that the authorized improvements or the permit area cannot be safely occupied. Prior to revoking the permit under this clause, the authorized officer shall give the holder 90 days written notice, provided that the authorized officer may prescribe a shorter notice period if justified by the public interest. The Forest Service shall then have the right to remove or relocate the authorized improvements, to require the holder to remove or relocate them, or to purchase them. Removal or relocation by the Forest Service of the authorized improvements shall be accepted by the holder in full satisfaction of all claims against the United States under this clause. If the Forest Service requires the holder to remove or relocate the authorized improvements or purchases them, the Forest Service shall be obligated to pay the lesser of
(1) the cost of removal or relocation of the authorized improvements or (2) the value of the authorized improvements as determined by the Forest Service through an appraisal of their replacement cost, less an allowance for depreciation of all types. If that amount is fixed by agreement between the authorized officer and the lessee, that amount shall be accepted by the holder in full satisfaction of all claims against the United States under this clause. If agreement is not reached, the authorized officer shall determine the amount to be paid, which shall be set forth in the revocation decision. A payment made pursuant to this clause is subject to the availability of appropriations. Nothing in this permit implies that Congress will appropriate funds to cover a deficiency in appropriations.

C. IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION. The authorized officer may immediately suspend this permit in whole or in part when necessary to protect public health or safety or the environment. The suspension decision shall be in writing. The holder may request an onsite review with the authorized officer’s supervisor of the adverse conditions prompting the suspension. The authorized officer’s supervisor shall grant this request within 48 hours. Following the onsite review, the authorized officer’s supervisor shall promptly affirm, modify, or cancel the suspension.

D. APPEALS AND REMEDIES. Written decisions made by the authorized officer relating to administration of this permit are subject to administrative appeal pursuant to 36 CFR Part 214, as amended.

E. TERMINATION. This permit shall terminate when by its terms a fixed or agreed upon condition, event, or time occurs without any action by the authorized officer. Examples include but are not limited to expiration of the permit by its terms on a specified date and, in the case of a permit issued to a business entity, termination upon change of control of the business entity. Termination of this permit is not subject to administrative appeal and shall not give rise to any claim for damages by the holder against the Forest Service.

F. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES UPON REVOCATION OR TERMINATION WITHOUT ISSUANCE OF A NEW PERMIT. Except as provided in clause VII.B., upon revocation of this permit or termination of this permit without issuance of a new permit, the authorized officer has the discretion to require the holder to sell or remove all structures and improvements, except those owned by the United States, within a reasonable period prescribed by the authorized officer and to restore the site to the satisfaction of the authorized officer. If the holder fails to sell or remove all structures or improvements within the prescribed period, they shall become the property of the United States and may be sold, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of without any liability to the United States. However, the holder shall remain liable for all costs associated with their removal, including costs of sale and impoundment, cleanup, and restoration of the site.

G. CONTINUATION OF OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES BEYOND EXPIRATION OR REVOCATION. Notwithstanding the termination or revocation of this permit, its terms shall remain in effect and shall be binding on the holder and the holder’s personal representative, successors, and assignees until all the holder’s obligations and liabilities accruing before or as a result of termination or revocation of this permit have been satisfied.

H. TERMINATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER OR RECLAMATION PURPOSES. Any lands covered by this permit which have been withdrawn for hydroelectric power under the act of March 3, 1879, or the act of June 25, 1910, or are covered by an application or license governed by the Federal Power Act of June 10, 1920, are subject at any time to use for the development of hydroelectric power. Any lands covered by this permit which have been withdrawn under the Reclamation Act of June 17, 1902, are subject at any time to use for reclamation purposes.

The holder shall have 90 days to remove the authorized improvements. Termination under this clause does not constitute revocation for specific and compelling reasons in the public interest under clause VII.B and shall not give rise to any claim by the holder against the Federal Power Commission, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Forest Service, or hydroelectric power licensees for damages, including lost profits and damage to improvements, due to such development of hydroelectric power or reclamation.
