Sec. 14.
It is unlawful to make any fill or deposit of rock, earth, sand,
or other material, or any refuse matter of any kind or description, or
build or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin, boom, weir,
breakwater, bulkhead, jetty, bridge, or other structure over, under, in, or
within 40 feet of any navigable waters within the Port District without
first submitting the plans, profiles, and specifications therefor, and such
other data and information as may be required, to the Port District and
receiving a permit therefor; and any person, corporation, company, city or
municipality or other agency, which shall do any of the things above
prohibited, without securing a permit therefor as above provided, shall be
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor; provided, however, that no such permit
shall be required in the case of any project for which a permit shall have
been secured from a proper governmental agency prior to the creation of the
Port District. Any structure, fill or deposit erected or made in any of the
public bodies of water within the Port District, in violation of the
provisions of this section, is a purpresture and may be abated as such at
the expense of the person, corporation, company, city, municipality or
other agency responsible therefor, or if, in the discretion of the Port
District, it is decided that said structure, fill or deposit may remain,
the Port District may fix such rule, regulation, requirement, restrictions,
or rentals or require and compel such changes, modifications and repairs as
shall be necessary to protect the interest of the Port District.
