The filming company will pay for the publication of the notice. A permit fee could be charged to cover the staff time required to review these applications. Other counties charge fees for this type of permit that range from nothing to $50.00. commissioner Dennison stated that the Beaver Valley Road is one of the most highly travelled roads in the county and it is the main road to the ferry.
