Special Use Permits The Special Use Permit (SUP) authorizes activities that benefit an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large: and that require written authorization and management control in order to protect park resources and the public interest. Types of permitted activities include:
APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT (PDF) There is no application fee for permits for non-commercial activities. Contact: Chief Ranger, San Juan Island National Historical Park Commercial Use Authorizations Businesses desiring to conduct visitor service related operations within the park must obtain a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA). The CUA is a tool to manage commercial activities to insure that they do not impair park resources and to provide for quality visitor services. The process of granting a CUA also ensures that the activity is necessary and appropriate in a National Park setting and specific to this park. Thus, certain commercial activities such as off-road motorcycle tours and food concessions would not be authorized. At San Juan Island National Historical Park only CUAs for road, hiking and limited kayak and bicycling tours are offered at this time. Businesses operating inside the park without a CUA are subject to fines, mandatory court appearances, confiscation of equipment, and denial of future opportunities to operate in this or any other National Park. Note: As indicated above, a Special Use Permit is required for commercial filming/photography rather than a Commercial Use Authorization. Application packets may be requested from the Chief Ranger's Office. Completed applications must be received by the park no less than 30 days prior to the date you wish to begin operating in the park. An application fee of $100 must be included with the submitted application. If the application is approved, additional charges will apply. Contact: Chief Ranger, San Juan Island National Historical Park Scientific/Research Permits A permit must be obtained before conducting any research within the park. An online application process is administered nationally, but you should also contact the park regarding your proposed research. https://science.nature.nps.gov/research/ac/ResearchIndex Please allow 30 days for review and processing.
