				governing board to establish a schedule of fees for filing applications for
				permits required by district rules. The schedule of fees is listed in TABLE
				1.A. - B. SCHEDULE OF PERMIT FEES. Fees shall be due at the time of filing an
				application. Unless otherwise specified by district rule, the date of filing

				nonrefundable unless an application is filed for an activity that is determined
				by the district to be exempt from permitting requirements pursuant to Section
				 120.60(2), F.S.
				Failure of any person to pay the fees established herein is grounds for the
				denial of a permit application or revocation of a permit. Unless a fee is
				identified herein for a specific activity, no fee shall be required. There
				shall be no permit fee for projects proposed by governmental entities whose
				purpose is environmental restoration, enhancement, or public land
				management.

				the administration of a permitting program from the department to the district,
