DEP'T OF NAT. RES. v. LINCHESTER SAND AND GRAVEL CORP.

[No. 80, September Term, 1974.]

274 Md. 211 (1975)

334 A.2d 514

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES v. LINCHESTER SAND AND GRAVEL CORPORATION

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided March 19, 1975.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Warren K. Rich, Assistant Attorney General, with whom were Francis B. Burch, Attorney General, and Henry R. Lord, Deputy Attorney General, on the brief, for appellant.

Thomas S. Simpkins, with whom was Thomas J. Spain on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before MURPHY, C.J., and SINGLEY, SMITH, DIGGES, LEVINE, ELDRIDGE and O'DONNELL, JJ.

DIGGES, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

Maryland's recently enacted "wetlands statute," marshalled by the General Assembly to protect those vast acres of ecologically, economically, aesthetically and recreationally valuable terraqueous areas having completely, partially or periodically submerged bottoms, which are the habitats of innumerable variations of aquatic life, is the legal quagmire through which we must wade in order to resolve this dispute.
