1Opinion of the CourtLynch, J.
This is an appeal from a Superior Court judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s petition for judicial review of a decision of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering1 (department) and affirming the department’s assessment of a civil penalty pursuant to G. L. c. 21 A, § 16 (1990 ed.). We transferred the case here on our own motion. Our decision turns on the interpretation of regulations, promulgated by the department pursuant to the Wetlands Protection Act, G. L. c. 131, § 40 (1990 ed.), which define the bodies of water over which the department has jurisdiction.
