application fee.
    (2)  For filing an application for segregation of lands--each project
application shall be accompanied by the guaranteed deposit required by section
42-2004, Idaho Code, unless the required guaranteed deposit has already been
made with an application requesting temporary withdrawal, and by a
nonrefundable application fee to be based upon an estimate by the director of
the department's cost of reviewing the project feasibility reports including
any necessary on-site inspections of the project.  However, in no case shall
the application fee be less than five hundred dollars ($500) nor exceed ten
dollars ($10.00) per acre of land requested to be segregated.
    (3)  For filing detailed project plans and specifications and entering a

    (5)  In administering the charges authorized in paragraphs (2) and (3)

state and by him credited to the fund created by virtue of this chapter. No
