Such investigations shall include the following special matters: A. For the purpose of determining the stage and flow of the Roanoke River, and to secure at various stages of the river data from which to estimate the effect on the river below of ponding at the proposed dam, including the rate of transmission and amplitude of waves caused by such ponding; the permittee shall install, within sixty (60) days from the date of issuance hereof, and thereafter maintain, standard recording gages at or near (1) the proposed dam site, and (2) the head of the canal of the Roanoke Rapids Power Co., and shall provide for periodic readings of such gages and for the adequate rating of said river at the points thereon above specified.

The permittee shall keep accurate and sufficient record of the foregoing determinations to the satisfaction of the Commission, and shall make return of such records at the time of filing application for license, as aforesaid, and at such other times as the Commission may require, and in such form as the Commission may prescribe. B. The permittee shall sink such test pits or make such borings or other foundation explorations as will furnish sufficient information relating to the character of the foundations for the proposed dam to make possible the design of such dam, in accordance with good engineering practice, and to make possible the checking of its safety, adequacy, and desirability in the development of the resources involved. Actual field work on the operations outlined in this paragraph shall be commenced within ninety (90) days from the date of issuance hereof, and shall thereafter be prosecuted diligently to completion. ART. 4. License will be issued for said proposed project only if it appears that the scheme of development proposed in said application for license will be best adapted to the improvement and utilization of the site for purposes of navigation, of water-power development, and of other beneficial public uses. In reaching decision thereon the Commission will consider: A. Whether the maps, plans, and specifications are such: (1) That full, practicable utilization will be made of the water, storage possibilities, and the head at the site to be developed. (2) That the structures shall be safe and in accordance with good engineering practice. (3) That all unnecessary energy losses, whether in hydraulic works or in mechanical or electrical equipment, will be avoided. B. Whether in relation to existing or probable future projects upon the same or adjacent streams, the fullest practicable utilization of the water, storage possibilities, and head available will be made possible. C. Whether said project will be in general accord with the most beneficial utilization of the water for navigation, water power, irrigation, or other beneficial public uses, and for aiding flood control, reclamation, and similar developments. D. Whether proper provision is made for present or future electrical interconnection with other projects or systems in order to take advantage of diversity of stream flow and of power demands. E. Whether the use to which the power will be devoted is, in general, in accord with the needs of the community and of the public welfare. F. Whether the applicant is financially able to carry out the development. ART. 5. The priority granted hereunder will be lost if the permittee fails to fulfill the requirements of this permit, if the permit is canceled by order of the Commission, or if, in the course of consideration by the Commission of said application for license, the permittee shall not on or before the expiration of the period hereof, or such later date as may be fixed by the Commission: A. File data required by the Commission in addition to that contained in or furnished with said application; or B. Present satisfactory evidence of ability to carry out the plan as set forth in said application; or as required to be modified by the Commission; or C. Accept the conditions of the proposed license; or D. Modify its plans as may be required by the Commission if the project adopted as disclosed in said plans is not such as in the judgment of the Commission based upon the considerations set forth in article 4 hereof will be best adapted to a comprehensive scheme of improvement and utilization for the purposes of navigation, of water-power development, and of other beneficial public uses. ART. 6. The permittee shall keep accurate and dependable records of all expenditures made for the purposes authorized herein; and in the event that a license is issued for said proposed project covered in whole or in part by this permit, any and all items properly includible in the actual legitimate cost of said project, representing expenditures made before the date of the license, shall be supported by proper vouchers or other records, the same as would have been required of a licensee had no preliminary permit been issued; and any such vouchers or records, or certified copies thereof, in support of any item properly includible in the cost of said project shall become a part of the records of said project and shall be kept and retained by the permittee in the manner required by the Commission. A report of all such expenditures, in such detail as the Commission may require, shall be submitted promptly when called for by the Commission. ART. 7. If license is issued for said proposed project it shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the Commission in force at the date of issuance hereof and to the requirement that the rights of other water users shall be protected if, in the judgment of the Commission, such requirement shall be deemed necessary to conserve and utilize in the public interest the navigation and water resources of the region; and, subject to the provisions of sections 13, 16, and 26 of the Act and of the last proviso of section 14 of the Act shall be for a period of fifty (50) years. ART. 8. This permit confers no authority upon the permittee to perform any construction work except in so far as specific permission is given therefor by the Commission; and neither the granting of such permission nor the performance of construction work whether with or without such permission shall be deemed to have created any equities or to have established any rights with respect to issuance of license, beyond what would have been created or estab lished had such permission not been given or such work not been performed. ART. 9. This permit is not transferable and may be canceled by order of the Commission upon failure of the permittee in good faith to begin or diligently to prosecute the investigations contemplated herein, or to comply with any other conditions hereof.
