On September 30, 2010, Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Salem Tidal Energy Project, which would be located on the Salem River, in Salem County, New Jersey.
