(a) Any act performed under the authority of a permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and the terms and conditions of the permit. (b) The department may prescribe requirements in the permit, including a requirement that the permittee pay the entire expense of restoring the affected State Water Resources Development System facilities to a condition equivalent to that before the work was performed, and requirements relating to the location and manner in which the work shall be performed, as determined by the department to be necessary for the protection of the department’s facilities. (c) Any permit issued to a permittee shall include a provision that requires the permittee to relocate or remove the encroachment in the event the future repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of the State Water Resources Development System requires the relocation or removal of the encroachment at the sole expense of the permittee. (d) The department shall charge an application processing and review fee for a permit to use the right-of-way. (e) The department may inspect and supervise the work performed under any permit issued under this chapter, in which event the permittee shall pay the reasonable cost of that inspection and supervision to the department, not to exceed the amount estimated by the department at the time of issuing the permit or commencement of work. If the actual costs exceed the estimated costs, an additional fee shall be required by the department before final permit approval or at the end of the inspection. If the actual costs are less than the estimated costs, the department shall refund the difference. (f) Before granting a permit under this chapter, the department may require any applicant to provide proof of insurance naming the department as an additional insured in an amount reasonably necessary to protect the state’s interest. (g) Before granting a permit under this chapter, the department may require any applicant, other than a county, city, city and county, or public agency that is authorized by law to establish and maintain any works or facilities within the department’s right-of-way, to file with the department a satisfactory bond payable to the department in an amount that the department determines to be sufficient, conditioned on the proper compliance by the permittee with this chapter. The department may require a bond from a county, city, city and county, or public agency that, prior to submitting an application, failed to comply with this chapter or with the conditions of a previous permit.
