commission of intention to drill and without first obtaining a permit from the
commission under such rules and regulations as may be reasonably prescribed by

hundred dollars ($100) for such permit, which shall be remitted to the state
treasurer for deposit in the oil and gas conservation fund and shall be used
exclusively to pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
administration and enforcement of this act. No permit may be issued by the

conditions, controls, rules or regulations attached thereto for the protection
of fresh water supplies as required in section 47-319, Idaho Code, shall be
forwarded to the director of the department of water resources.
