Other than the filing and recording fees required by statute, all fees paid pertaining to an application for a water use permit which have not been expended in the processing of the application will be placed in suspense until action is taken by the commission upon the application. If the permit is not granted, unexpended fees will be returned to the applicant. If the application is granted in part, excess use fees will be returned to the applicant. No fees will be returned to any applicant who has failed to notify the executive director of the applicant's social security or federal identification number.
