Case Notes

 

  A water management area designation is not the product of acontested case hearing, under chapter 91, from which a direct appeal to thesupreme court may be brought under this section.  83 H. 484, 927 P.2d 1367.

  This section is inconsistent with and cannot stand togetherwith §§602-5 and 602-57, as amended by Act 202, L 2004, and was deemed amendedby implication, effective July 1, 2006, to authorize appeals from the watercommission to the intermediate appellate court, not to the supreme court.  113H. 52, 147 P.3d 836.
