Clarke, Justice.
Earth Management, Inc., appeals the order of the superior court authorizing the condemnation of276 acres of land in Heard County to be used as a recreational facility.
The issues to be determined are the following: Whether the appeal is properly in this court; whether the county’s right of eminent domain was preempted by the Hazardous Waste Management Act; whether Earth Management was deprived of due process in that it did not have a proper opportunity to contest the county’s right to condemn; and whether the condemnation proceeding was brought in good faith.
