LAC 43:XV.9109. Management of Acquired Land

A. Land acquired under this Chapter may be used for any lawful purpose that is consistent with the necessary reclamation activities. Procedures for collection of user charges or the waiver of such charges by the office in conjunction with the Office of State Lands shall be determined on the basis of the fair market value of the benefits granted to the user, charges for comparable uses within the surrounding area or the costs to the state for providing the benefit, whichever is appropriate. The fee may be waived if found in writing that such a waiver is in the public interest. B. All use fees collected shall be deposited in the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund in accordance with Chapter 83.
