The Navajo Nation Council has approved a lease agreement with the owners of the Navajo Generating Station near Page, Arizona that would keep the coal-fired power plant operating through December 2019. Monday’s 18-4 vote came after eight hours of debate. The lease is reportedly for a term of 35 years and includes operating the power plant through 2019, retiring the site, and conducting long-term environmental monitoring.
