VILLAGE OF SAVONA, APPELLANT, v. KNIGHT SETTLEMENT SAND & GRAVEL, INC., RESPONDENT.

June 11, 1996

4 No. 177 SSM 11 [1996 NY Int. 129]
Decided June 11, 1996
This memorandum is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports.

 Submitted by Brian C. Flynn, for Appellant.
Submitted by Robert H. Plaskov, for Respondent.

 MEMORANDUM:

 The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, with costs, and the case remitted to that court for consideration of issues raised but not considered on the appeal to that court.

 As this Court recently held in Matter of Gernatt Asphalt Prods. v Town of Sardinia (____NY2d____, Slip Opn Case No. 48 [decided 3-28-96]), the Mined Land Reclamation Law does not preempt a municipality's authority, by means of its zoning powers, to regulate or prohibit the use of land within its municipal boundaries for mining operations. Thus, the Appellate Division improperly dismissed the complaint on that ground.

Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Simons, Titone, Bellacosa, Smith, Levine and Ciparick concur.
