Search 16 U.S.C. § 820 : US Code - Section 820: Proceedings for revocation of license or to prevent violations of license

The Attorney General may, on request of the commission or of the
Secretary of the Army, institute proceedings in equity in the
district court of the United States in the district in which any
project or part thereof is situated for the purpose of revoking for
violation of its terms any permit or license issued hereunder, or
for the purpose of remedying or correcting by injunction, mandamus,
or other process any act of commission or omission in violation of
the provisions of this chapter or of any lawful regulation or order
promulgated hereunder. The district courts shall have jurisdiction
over all of the above-mentioned proceedings and shall have power to
issue and execute all necessary process and to make and enforce all
writs, orders and decrees to compel compliance with the lawful
orders and regulations of the commission and of the Secretary of
the Army, and to compel the performance of any condition imposed
under the provisions of this chapter. In the event a decree
revoking a license is entered, the court is empowered to sell the
whole or any part of the project or projects under license, to wind
up the business of such licensee conducted in connection with such
project or projects, to distribute the proceeds to the parties
entitled to the same, and to make and enforce such further orders
and decrees as equity and justice may require. At such sale or
sales the vendee shall take the rights and privileges belonging to
the licensee and shall perform the duties of such licensee and
assume all outstanding obligations and liabilities of the licensee
which the court may deem equitable in the premises; and at such
sale or sales the United States may become a purchaser, but it
shall not be required to pay a greater amount than it would be
required to pay under the provisions of section 807 of this title
at the termination of the license.
