Opinion
Docket No. 107283.
Application Dismissed March 31, 1998.
In lieu of granting leave to appeal, the application is dismissed as moot in light of Friends of Crystal River v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, 794 F. Supp. 674 (WD Mich, 1992), aff'd 35 F.3d 1073 (CA 6, 1994). MCR 7.302(F)(1). The judgments of the Court of Appeals and the trial court are vacated as moot. The decisions of the administrative law judge and the Natural Resource Commission are declared to be of no precedential force and effect in any future applications for dredge and fill permits. The Department of Natural Resources was without jurisdiction to issue any permit that did not resolve the objections interposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
