Marine Power & Water, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

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 

Colorado River Indian Tribe 

Reservation. The project uses no dam or 

impoundment.
