ALBUQUERQUE — Environmentalists who have been fighting a proposed coal-fired power plant on the Navajo Nation and supporters of the project expected it: an air permit for the plant.
On Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed off on the permit for the controversial Desert Rock power plant, near Farmington in the Four Corners area.
Gov. Bill Richardson and New Mexico Environment Secretary Ron Curry planned an immediate appeal of the EPA’s decision, claiming the federal agency violated the Clean Air Act in issuing the permit.
