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.
