TITLE 4. CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
REGISTRAR'S NOTICE: The following regulation filed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation is exempt from the Administrative Process Act in accordance with § 2.2-4006 A 1 of the Code of Virginia, which excludes agency orders or regulations fixing rates or prices. The Department of Conservation and Recreation will receive, consider, and respond to petitions by any interested person at any time with respect to reconsideration or revision.
Title of Regulation: 4VAC5-36. Standard Fees for Use of Department of Conservation and Recreation Facilities, Programs, and Services (amending 4VAC5-36-30, 4VAC5-36-50, 4VAC5-36-70, 4VAC5-36-90 through 4VAC5-36-160, 4VAC5-36-200, 4VAC5-36-210).
Statutory Authority: § 10.1-104 of the Code of Virginia.
Effective Date: January 1, 2012.
Agency Contact: David C. Dowling, Policy, Planning, and Budget Director, Department of Conservation and Recreation, 203 Governor Street, Suite 302, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 786-2291, FAX (804) 786-6141, or email david.dowling@dcr.virginia.gov.
Summary:
These amendments alter fees in the following regulations: general conditions and criteria concerning waiving or deviating from established fees for facilities, programs, and services (4VAC5-36-30); parking and launch fees (4VAC5-36-50); swimming fees (4VAC5-36-70); camping fees (4VAC5-36-90); cabin fees (4VAC5-36-100); picnic shelters and event tents fees (4VAC5-36-110); horse arena fees (4VAC5-36-115); amphitheater and gazebo fees (4VAC5-36-120); boat storage fees (4VAC5-36-130); interpretive canoe, boat, and paddleboat fees (4VAC5-36-140); interpretive and educational tours and program fees (4VAC5-36-150); outdoor skills programs (4VAC5-36-160); miscellaneous rental fees (4VAC5-36-200); and conference center fees (4VAC5-36-210).
Increases to rates and prices reflect private concessionaires' new seasonal prices, the addition of new offerings, changes to maintain fair market value, and updates to ensure consistency with the private sector. These fee amendments increase annual parking and swim pass fees and increase the 2006 cabin and camping rates across the board as such fees have not kept pace with market conditions and have lagged behind Virginia private campgrounds. Obsolete fees are deleted.
4VAC5-36-30. General conditions and criteria concerning waiving or deviating from established fees for facilities, programs, and services.
A. The director may waive fees for any person, group, or organization whenever such action is deemed to be in the public interest.

Refunds or credits will be issued whenever the closure is made prior to the delivery of service or use of the facility.
B. The director may allow deviations from established fees in the form of discounts or special promotion prices for the purpose of stimulating visitation and use of departmental facilities, programs, and services. The director may deviate from standard pricing of conference and group meeting facilities and services, and overnight facilities associated with conference and group activities, in order to be competitive with similar facilities and services. Full or partial refunds of fees may be made in the interest of providing good customer service.
C. The director may accept "in-kind-service" in lieu of payment for fees under the following conditions:
1. The services provided are pertinent to the park mission and current programs/services.

Additional vehicles must pay the prevailing parking fee for each day that the vehicle is parked in the park.

All vehicles must park in designated parking areas, either at the cabin or in the designated overflow parking area.

Notes on cabin or lodge transfer/cancellation/early departure policy:
1. Any fees to be refunded are calculated less the applicable cancellation fees listed below.
2. Fees paid to the reservation center by credit card will be refunded to the original credit card charged.
3. Fees paid by check or money order to the reservation center, or by any method at the park, will be refunded by state check.
4. A customer may move a cabin or lodge reservation to another date or park, referred to as a transfer, through the reservation center only, and prior to 5 p.m. on the Monday before the scheduled date of arrival. After 5 p.m. on the Monday before the scheduled date of arrival, cancellation is the only option (see note 5 below) except that transfers to a different cabin or lodge for the same rental nights shall be allowed, subject to availability, up to the check in time for the original reservation.
5. Once the reservation is paid for, a customer may cancel in full with payment of the required cancellation fee if there are more than 30 days before the scheduled arrival date. As long as the reservation is not during the one-week minimum stay requirement period, the length of stay may be reduced without a fee as long as there are more than 30 days before the scheduled arrival. However, the length of stay cannot be less than two nights. During the 30 days prior to the scheduled arrival date, the cancellation fee is charged for each night cancelled or reduced from the stay. Once the official check-in time on the scheduled arrival date is reached, the cancellation policy is no longer in effect and the early departure policy applies.
6. Once the 3 p.m. check-in time is reached on the scheduled day of arrival, any adjustment to a reservation is considered an early departure. There is a two night minimum charge associated with all cabin, lodge, camping cabin, travel trailer, and camping lodge stays. Reducing the total nights stayed will incur a $20 per night fee. If the original reservation was for a week, the weekly discount will no longer be valid and the fee will be adjusted to the nightly rate before any refunds are calculated.
