Residents of Roxbury, NJ may enjoy
the smell of chestnuts roasting on an open fire this Christmas without the
competing odor of garbage rotting in an uncapped landfill.

The state Department of Environmental Protection’s work to squelch the stench that had residents gagging appears to be working, as NJTV News’ Briana Vannozzi reports  in the video above and in Capping
Underway at Contaminated Fenimore Landfill

Meanwhile, the finger pointing as to who
is responsible–the state (which allowed the formerly closed landfill to
re-open) or landfill owner Richard Bernardi–apparently is heading toward the
latest legal showdown. Bernardi claims that the Attorney General’s office has launched
an criminal investigation into his operations. Is NJ looking to run landfill
owner out of bullets?
