"There are no fees to join the Cooperative. The only potential costs associated with the Cooperative involve:
1) Staff time to fill GIS data sharing requests from other members and/or the cost of media. (We encourage all members to work toward placing their GIS data on a web site to enable it to be downloaded electronically without requiring staff interaction on each request.)
2) Providing metadata to the Clearinghouse.
