Special Use Permits for Activities in Waco Mammoth National Monument

The National Park Service may require a special use permit for certain activities to occur in Waco Mammoth National Monument. These include organized gatherings like weddings or church services, public assemblies and demonstrations, special events, filming and some commercial activities like commercial travel or still photography. A special park use is defined as a short-term activity that takes place in a park area, and that:

• Provides a benefit to an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large.
• Requires written authorization and some degree of management control from the NPS in order to protect park resources and the public interest.
• Is not prohibited by law or regulation.
• Is neither initiated, sponsored, nor conducted by the NPS.

Permits will not be approved if the proposed activity does the following:

• Conflict with law or policy.
• Results in derogation of the values and purposes of the park.
• Results in a threat to public safety or property.
• Interferes with normal park operations, programs, special events, visitor use, or resource protection.
