Landfill court date: update

From Ron Klodenski:

As a result of today's 10-minute court session at Suffolk Superior Court, the City of Newburyport will now be at the negotiating table when the DEP and the landfill owner continue trying to agree on some settlement that will allow the landfill capping to proceed. My understanding is that the city attorney, DEP attorney, assistant attorney general, and the landfill owner's lawyers will appear again in court on July 14 for a status conference. At that time, as I heard it, "the city will tell the court what it wants." Present at today's session were the city attorney, DEP attorney, assistant attorney general, and the landfill owner's lawyers.

It was also mentioned that the landfill owner has a pending preliminary injunction for his Everett facility, and that this injunction would be involved in the negotiations.

Please note that this is only a layman's interpretation of what happened. If I find more legally and technically accurate information, I'll send it around.

Hi,
On the comment that "the landfill owner has a pending preliminary injunction for his Everett facility, and that this injunction would be involved in the negotiations."

If more clarification comes about on that, could you please post it? It would be most appreciated.

Attorney Anthony Rossi did not mention about a pending injunction for Wood Waste to our Board of Alderman Monday night. It appears to me that we are not being completely informed and this makes the entire City of Everett very nervous.

I will, Anonymous. I was hoping some reader could clarify, but I'll try to get you more on that.
