The executive director, with the approval of the commission, may grant permits for the use of explosives in waters for engineering purposes upon the payment of a fee of $50 or as otherwise established by the commission in accordance with section 322.1 (relating to power to set fees). The executive director may waive the payment of the fee for Commonwealth agencies and political subdivisions. Any person using explosives under a permit shall make restitution to the commission for all fish destroyed. A person who engages in an activity for which a permit is required under this section without first acquiring the permit commits a misdemeanor of the third degree. A person using explosives under a permit issued under this section who violates any of the terms and conditions of the permit commits a summary offense of the first degree.
