Minnesota Asks Court to Temporarily Halt Metal Shredder for Particulate Emissions

摘要

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency asked a state court to temporarily enjoin Northern Metals of Minneapolis from operating its metal shredder until it receives a new air quality permit that would protect the public health and environment (Northern Metals v. Stine, Minn. Dist. Ct, No. 62-CV-15-3827, motion filed 5/18/16). The state agency contends Northern Metals has repeatedly violated air quality standards at the Minneapolis site since at least 2014, when air monitors began operating near the facility, according to the motion filed in the Minnesota District Court.
