Northern Metal reaches settlement agreement and shuts down shredder

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has reached a settlement agreement with Northern Metal Recycling regarding its errors in reporting emission records. Northern Metal Recycling is a metal recycler with offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Under the settlement, Northern Metal Recycling admitted it submitted inaccurate emissions records to the MPCA and permanently shut down its Minneapolis shredder operations in September.


MPCA Commissioner Laura Bishop released the following statement:

“Minnesota expects its corporate citizens to do the right thing and follow its permit requirements. Northern Metal Recycling broke the public’s trust and showed a willful disregard toward its neighbors. These serious violations required a swift and proportional action.”

In addition, the MPCA is able to reopen Northern Metal Recycling’s permit for the new Becker, Minnesota, facility to incorporate additional monitors and reports for its pollution control equipment. The company is also required to pay a $200,000 civil penalty.
