§ 15-1727. Maintenance of project works.

1. The licensee shall at all times maintain the project works in good

repair and in efficient working order; shall promptly make all necessary

renewals and replacements, including such necessary renewals or

replacements as may, after a hearing, be directed by the department for

this purpose, and shall establish and maintain adequate reserves

therefor.

2. The department may at any time institute an investigation or hold a

hearing, or both, with respect to the compliance by the licensee with

the requirements of this section and the adequacy of the reserves

maintained by it for the purposes herein specified. After such

investigation or hearing, the department may issue such order or orders,

not inconsistent with title 17 of this article, as in its judgment will

insure compliance by the licensee with the provisions of title 17 of

this article, in respect to all matters so investigated.

3. The licensee shall promptly conform to and comply with such

directions, orders, rules or regulations as the department may make from

time to time in the interests of navigation, or for the protection of

life, health or property or other lawful purposes. He shall likewise

promptly conform to and comply with such lawful rules and regulations as

may from time to time be prescribed by the federal government, its duly

authorized officers or agents relating to the navigation of the waters

covered by the license.
