Permit Fee

If the area to be surveyed is for 3D coverage on open, unleased state lands and water bottoms a maximum charge of $10.00 per acre will be required, or a minimum of $1,000.00, whichever is greater.  All 3D surveys to be conducted on lands and water bottoms under the jurisdiction of the WFC/DWF including wildlife management areas, wildlife refuges, etc. will require a maximum permit fee of $15.00 per acre.

If the area to be surveyed is for 2D coverage only, on either state-owned lands and water bottoms or lands and water bottoms under the jurisdiction of the WFC/DWF, then the amount of the permit fee is $200.00 per line mile, or $1,000.00, whichever is greater.

If the area is surveyed using a technique other than 2D or 3D, (e.g. refraction, geochemical, gravity or magnetics, etc.) then the fee will be determined at the time of the application.
