(b) There shall be no charge levied by the commission for the removal of one hundred (100) cubic yards or less of any material removed from wetlands by a permittee or his agent under the terms of any permit issued.

(c) The commission may waive these charges on any project of a governmental agency or any project wherein expenditures are made as the result of a governmental grant or governmental bond proceeds.

(d) Any party participating in the beneficial use of dredge materials programs under subsection (2) shall be exempt from these charges.

(2) The department shall require any party permitted to conduct dredging activities of over two thousand five hundred (2,500) cubic yards to participate in the department programs involving beneficial use of dredge materials, provided the material is suitable and a beneficial use site is available. If approved by the executive director, or his designee, a party may deposit acceptable dredge materials in a designated location for a fee not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the fair market cost to transport and dispose of the material in an approved upland site. The department shall consider in-kind services for offsetting depositional charges.
