PUBLIC NOTICE
JONESVILLE UNDERGROUND MINE
PERMIT RENEWAL

Permit Number U-0201

The Division of Mining Land and Water has decided to reissue its decision to
renew the Jonesville Underground Mine Permit (U-0201) for an additional five
year permit term. The decision to renew the permit was originally issued on May
18, 2011 in accordance with 11 AAC 90.129(b). The renewal decision was
withdrawn on July 7, 2011 to address a procedural error in the review process.
In its revised Findings of Facts and Decision, the Division has addressed
comments that the decision to renew the permit did not provide adequate
response to concerns raised that the operators of the Jonesville Underground
Mine (Permit Number U-0201) had met all the the requirements of AS
27.21.070(b).
An application for the renewal of the Jonesville Coal Mine Permit (U-0201) was
filed with the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of
Mining, Land and Water (DMLW), on December 9, 2009, from Ranger Alaska, LLC,
110 N. Rubey Dr. Suite 201, Golden Colorado, 80403.
The Jonesville Coal Mine is located in the Matanuska Valley approximately 11
miles northeast of Palmer, Alaska. The mining area is approximately 2 miles
northwest of Sutton, Alaska near the southeast portion of Wishbone Hill. The
mining permit area is in Sections 9, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21, Township 19N Range
3E, Seward Meridian.
The Permit and Final Findings of Facts and Decision are available for review at
the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water,
550 W. 7th Ave., Suite 920, Anchorage, AK 99501-3577, or on our website

interest which is or may be adversely affected by this decision may request in
writing a hearing under AS 27.21.150 to review the reasons for this decision.
The request for a hearing may be mailed or delivered to Daniel S. Sullivan,
