At the City Council meeting last night, Councillor Larry McCavitt asked about the status of the landfill - which was good, because I was wondering myself.
"No change," was the answer.
Afterwards, a snowy owl told me that New Ventures is revved up to go and is stockpiling grading and shaping material at the site. That's not C&D fines. There's still a cease and desist order on the C&D fines.
Apparently NV has to do test borings on the berm before they can proceed with closing the landfill.
But they can't do anything until they sign that agreement with the Attorney General and DEP. The AG must be freaking out about all this litigation.
Looks as if Brian Derrivan was right when he said it could take weeks. Director of Health Jack Morris said it would be days ... so I had the Current's editor take out from my story the "but don't expect trucks to be rolling in anytime soon."
Man ... hey, what's going on in Everett? I think someone said there would be news from there, after last night's meeting of the Alderman ...

The Everett meeting was a joke, once again. I happened to be by Wood Waste, and I can attest as of today, IT STINKS.
The shock and awe at these meetings just never ends.
Believe it or not....Who woulda thought that Bill Thibeault would appeal a known violation? The Everett building department sent him a letter that he is violation, and his fines are 20.00 a day, and he has the right to appeal, which he did, and does not have to pay the fines, during the appeal.
The city solicitor claimed that according to the board of health, Wood Waste is in compliance. NO WAY is Wood Waste in compliance right now. The odor eaters (or whatever he's "supposedly" using) is NOT working.
I also know someone at Stop&Shop and they have not seen any removal. Admittedly, they could have missed it, but I would like to see more hard core proof of the crap being removed other than a hand written receipt from Thibeault, and to know EXACTLY where this stuff is going.
No one seems to know where he has been taking the piles. Supposedly, he is removing 50 tons a week. The solicitor couldn't remember where, so she thinks it's a place called "Champion something"
If this place "champion something" is taking 50 tons of C&D material now, why does it have to go to the landfill, if the landfill has already been overburdened with C&D material? I just don't get it.
