Farmington (Navajo: Tótah) is a city in San Juan County, New Mexico, United States. It is the principal city of the Farmington, New Mexico Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is a hub for much of northwestern New Mexico and the Four Corners region. Farmington is located at the junction of the San Juan, Animas, and La Plata rivers, on the Colorado Plateau in the northwest part of the San Juan Basin. Primary industries are natural gas, coal, and oil. Major coal mines are operated by BHP Billiton 25 to 30 km (15 to 19 miles) southwest of Farmington, and the coal is used for nearby electric power generation at the Four Corners Power Plant. A new coal-fired electric power-generating plant has been proposed in 2006 for the same area. The site for the proposed plant, part of the Desert Rock Energy Project of Sithe Global Power, LLC, also is within land of the Navajo Nation. Environmental effects of such plants have been controversial, in part because of possible problems of air-quality. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
