According to an email from Ron Klodenski, the Mass. Attorney General, the DEP and New Ventures yesterday had come to an agreement that will probably allow the landfill owner to resume normal operations -- that is, trucking more demolition debris into Newburyport for deposit on Crow Lane. When operations might resume is unclear.
As I understand it, this agreement also makes it unnecessary for the Attorney General and DEP to continue their suit against the landfill owner for violations of the DEP's preliminary injunction of October 2006.
Klodenski notes that the city will not be shown the agreement, according to Health Director Jack Morris, until it has been signed, and thus will have no say in the matter whatsoever.
So it seems that the state will not be taking over the capping of the landfill. Details of the agreement may be released as early as next week.
Everthing in blue came from Ron.
