EPA to reconsider Navajo power plant permit
By The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will have to reconsider an air permit the agency issued last year for a proposed $3 billion coal-fired power plant on the nation’s largest American Indian reservation, a federal appeals board has ruled.

The decision by the Environmental Appeals Board in part grants a request by regional EPA officials who wanted to take another look at parts of the permit for the $3 billion Desert Rock Energy Project on the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico.

The board, in a ruling released Friday, also said the EPA abused its discretion by not considering integrated gasification combined cycle technology in its analysis of best available pollution control systems for the plant.

“The board concludes that remand of the permit in its entirety on this ground is warranted because reconsideration of the issue could have overarching impacts on the rest of the (agency’s) analysis,” the ruling states.
