New Ventures, which controls the Crow Lane Landfill in Newburyport, Massachusetts, has yet to complete a cap on the site after nine years of disputes with the city.

The Newburyport City Council is now applying all the pressure it can on the governing state environmental agency and on the landfill owners to end this protracted dispute.
