If the dam or other project works are to be constructed across,
along, or in any of the navigable waters of the United States, the
commission may, insofar as it deems the same reasonably necessary
to promote the present and future needs of navigation and
consistent with a reasonable investment cost to the licensee,
include in the license any one or more of the following provisions
or requirements:
(a) That such licensee shall, to the extent necessary to preserve
and improve navigation facilities, construct, in whole or in part,
without expense to the United States, in connection with such dam,
a lock or locks, booms, sluices, or other structures for navigation
purposes, in accordance with plans and specifications approved by
the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of the Army and made part
of such license.
(b) That in case such structures for navigation purposes are not
made a part of the original construction at the expense of the
licensee, then whenever the United States shall desire to complete
such navigation facilities the licensee shall convey to the United
States, free of cost, such of its land and its rights-of-way and
such right of passage through its dams or other structures, and
permit such control of pools as may be required to complete such
navigation facilities.
(c) That such licensee shall furnish free of cost to the United
States power for the operation of such navigation facilities,
whether constructed by the licensee or by the United States.
