Here is the opinion in this NEPA claim (D. Colo.) — Dine Citizens against Ruining Our Environment v Klein
An excerpt:
This action concerns alleged violations of the National Environmental Protection Act (“NEPA”), 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq., and the Administrative Procedures Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., by the Department of Interior’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (“OSM”) in connection with OSM’s permitting of mining and related operations at the Navajo Mine. It is before me on the motion to dismiss or to transfer venue filed by OSM and Al Klein, its Western Regional Director, (collectively “Federal Defendants”) and separate motions to dismiss filed by intervenors Arizona Public Service Company (“APS”) and BHP Navajo Coal Company (“BHP”). Having carefully considered the motions, related briefing, and all applicable legal authorities, and being fully advised in the premises, I deny the motions in part and grant them in part.
