Northern Metals rears its ugly head in Becker
April 16th, 2018
Northern Metals was violating its MPCA permit, it also lit on fire. Ultimately, it was run out of town.
So now it goes to Becker. How will it NOT violate its permit there? Oh, right, MPCA will be so lax about it that violation would be a logical, legal, and physical impossibility.
