Notes of Decisions

   Dredging

   The terms and conditions attached to a dredging permit are terms and conditions of the permit, rather than rules and regulations. Warren Sand and Gravel Co. v. Department of Environmental Resources, 341 A.2d 556 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1975).

   Editor’s Note: Chapter 105 has been extensively amended since this case was decided. The case actually referred to § §  105.21 and 105.77.
