Notice of Decision - ADL 234026 - M&M, LLC - Development within a Section Line Easement

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW) issued a final administrative decision denying M&M Gravel, LLC’s request (ADL 234026) to develop a 1.6‑acre access route within Section Line Easements (SLE) near Nikiski, Alaska. The applicant sought a 33‑foot easement along the northern side of Section 35 and a similar easement along the southern side of Section 26 to provide access to its parcel. DMLW determined that the SLE on the southern side of Section 26 is not valid, leaving no legal continuity between the two easements, and therefore could not approve the request. The decision references public notice periods, agency reviews, and comments received, and advises the applicant to consult the Kenai Peninsula Borough for alternative access options. No appeal deadline, fee, and contact information for filing an appeal are provided. • Applicant: M&M Gravel, LLC (Kenai Peninsula Borough Parcel 01516017) • Requested action: Development of access route within existing Section Line Easements • Decision: Denial due to lack of a valid easement on Section 26, breaking continuity • Geographic focus: Nikiski, Alaska (Township 7 N, Range 12 W, Seward Meridian) • Review process: Public notice (Mar 2‑16 2026), agency comments, survey verification, final decision (Sept 14 2026) • Appeal: Must be filed within 20 calendar days to DNR Commissioner, fee $200, contact info provided.
