Judge rules against expansion of Navajo mine

Environmental impact was not adequately assessed
While loaders fill trucks with as much as 220 tons of coal in the background, a bucket attached to a dragline moves dirt from atop the coal seam in what is called the Dixon Pit at Navajo Mine. A federal judge on Monday determined that federal regulators did not fully address environmental impacts from a proposed expansion of the mine.
