Map of the proposed Little Colorado River dam project showing the little Colorado River, the gorge, and where dams and reservoirs would go

A Phoenix company has proposed two hydroelectric projects (each with two dams) in the Little Colorado River Gorge, mere miles from Grand Canyon National Park. This one, the Little Colorado River Pumped Storage Project, would flood a site sacred to the Hopi, half a mile from the park boundary.
