Take Action
Three hydroelectric dam projects were proposed by Pumped Hydro Storage, LLC on Navajo Nation land on the lower Little Colorado River in 2019 and 2020. The two projects proposed directly on the river were canceled but the developer is still pursuing a preliminary permit for the Big Canyon Dam project on a tributary to the Little Colorado River above the Confluence. If permitted and then licensed, it would require four reservoirs that would be filled by pumping at least 17 billion gallons of groundwater, which is likely to impact springs along the Little Colorado River.
