The length of an underwater crossing is measured by the number of feet of line between banks or shores. The license fee is determined by adding the length of all such underwater crossings on the same application and, using this total distance, selecting the appropriate column to determine the base rate. The license fee is the base rate plus $28 for each crossing in excess of one listed in the application.
