Plaintiffs, State of New York and Langdon Marsh,

Acting Commissioner of the New York State Department of

Environmental Conservation by their attorney, Dennis C.

Vacco, Attorney General of the State of New York,

Robert E. Pearman, Assistant Attorney General of counsel,

commenced this action seeking judicial enforcement of a

Decision and Order issued by the Commissioner of the New

After hearing arguments of the defendant and reviewing all

of the papers previously submitted to the Court, it is

hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Complaint is

dismissed and the Motion for Summary Judgment filed

defending the complaint is denied, both with prejudice, and

it is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the defendant's

motion is granted permitting the defendant to mine his

property, subject to compliance with Environmental

Conservation Law and Regulations, and it is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Court will

retain jurisdiction for the purpose of reviewing any denial

of any application made by defendant.
