Developers want to build the 240-foot-high structure across the Little Colorado River about 6 miles upstream from the point where it meets the Colorado River.
A proposed dam near the Grand Canyon would flood miles of the Little Colorado River Gorge, resulting in severe consequences for sacred Native American cultural sites and local wildlife, an environmental group has warned.
The project is the brainchild of Phoenix-based form Pumped Hydro Storage LLC. In May this year, the company filed an application for a preliminary permit for the dam—which would measure 240 feet high and 500 feet wide. According to the Hydropower Reform Coalition, any developer interested in a potential site for a project must first apply for a preliminary permit.
