Healy is at Mile 248 Parks Highway. It is home to the states only
commercial coal mine.
Founded in 1943, Usibelli Coal Mine has a work force of about 95
employees and operates year-round. Usibelli coal is among the lowest
sulfur coal produced in the world. Other environmental benefits
include low nitrogen content, high calcium content and excellent
performance characteristics in equipment designed to clean flue-gas
emission.
For over 60 years UCM’s success in a harsh climate and remote
location can be attributed to innovation in its operations. State-of-the-art
equipment and modern methods have maximized efficiency. Currently,
an average of 1.3 million tons of coal is produced annually, supplying
six Interior Alaska's power plants and also shipping coal to South
Korea and Chile through the Port of Seward.
