May 7, 2009.
On January 6, 2009, Marine Power &
Water, Inc. filed an application,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Colorado River Indian
Tribes Irrigation District Hydrokinetic
Power Project, located in La Paz County,
Arizona. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
The proposed project would be
located in an irrigation canal
downstream from the Parker Irrigation
Diversion Dam on the Colorado River,
within the Colorado River Indian Tribe
Reservation, 3 miles southwest of the
City of Parker, Arizona, and would
consist of: (1) One hydrokinetic
electrical generating unit, with a total

installed capacity of 15 kilowatts, (2) an
existing 200-volt primary transmission
line at check 19 that interconnects with
the Western Area Power
Administration, and (3) appurtenant
facilities. The electricity generated from
the project would be used by the
