OPINION OF THE COURT

Carpinello, J.

At issue in this CPLR article 78 proceeding is petitioners’ challenge to a determination by respondent Department of Environmental Conservation (hereinafter DEC) interpreting its powers under ECL 23-0901 to regulate the drilling of wells for natural gas. Specifically, petitioners allege that this determination was affected by errors of law and was arbitrary and capricious (see CPLR 7803 [3]). Supreme Court granted some of the relief sought by petitioners in that it invalidated a portion of DEC’s determination, thus prompting cross appeals by the parties.
