or build or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin, boom, weir,
breakwater, bulkhead, jetty, bridge, or other structure over, under, in, or

for it, and any other data and information that may be required, to the
district and receiving a permit. Any person, corporation,
company, city or municipality, or other agency that does any of the
things prohibited in this Section without securing a permit
is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Any structure, fill, or

responsible for it. If in the discretion of the district it is
decided that the structure, fill, or deposit may remain, the district
may fix any rule, regulation, requirement, restrictions, or rentals or
require and compel any changes, modifications, and repairs that shall be
necessary to protect the interest of the district.
