No permits shall be issued allowing the permittee to retain any recovered submerged cultural resources, or portion thereof, unless the department determines the resources to be retained are of no significant historical, archeological, or monetary value or are of such limited historical, archeological, or monetary value as to be reasonable compensation for the efforts of the permittee in furthering the public interest through the investigation, survey, protection, preservation, or recovery of other related underwater cultural resources.   Permits may be renewed upon or prior to expiration upon such terms and conditions as the department deems appropriate.   A permit may be revoked by the department upon a determination by the department that the permit holder has violated this part or any term or condition of its permit.
