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.

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.
