1Opinion of the CourtForrest, J.
The Snohomish County Department of Planning and Community Development, Community Development Division (DPCD) appeals the Superior Court's order reversing a decision by John E. Galt, 1 a Snohomish County hearing examiner, that sustained the notice and order issued by DPCD to Ronald and Joyce Baker notifying them of their violation of a local ordinance regulating surface mining. DPCD claims that the Superior Court erred in concluding that Washington's surface mining act (SMA) 2 preempts local regulation of surface mining. We reverse.
