The Bureau of Indian Affairs is taking comments online about the Navajo Nation's proposed power plant.
The BIA contracted with URS Corporation to host http://www.desertrockenergy.com. The site contains the draft environmental impact statement and a form to submit comments.
The site differs from the http://www.desertrockenergyproject.com. That's the one hosted by the Navajo Nation and Sithe Global, the company behind the $2.5 billion project.
The BIA will be holding public meetings in June.
