A metal foundry on St. Paul’s East Side accused of excessive pollution is seeking sanctions against state regulators who are considering revoking the company’s operations permit. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) cites what it says are months of inadequate data submissions from the Northern Iron and Machine foundry located off Phalen Boulevard. The foundry calls the threat to revoke its permit “abusive” and is asking a judge to order the state to help cover its legal bills in the case.
