Ruling Invalidating Takeover of Fenimore Landfill Stands
March 22, 2015
1 Min Read
The New Jersey Supreme Court is letting an appeals court decision stand that rescinded the state's 2013 takeover of the troubled Fenimore landfill in Roxbury, where rotten egg-like smells were spreading for miles throughout town.
In a brief order issued Monday, the state Supreme Court declined to hear the state Department of Environmental Protection's appeal of the lower court decision.
Although the long-term future of the landfill is unclear and will likely be resolved through further court action, a DEP spokesman said today that the agency's work to clean up the facility "is still going on" and will continue unless the agency is specifically told to stop.
