(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Department of Justice has requested a contempt hearing for NW Metals. The scrapyard was the site of a five-alarm fire that sent a plume of smoke over nearby homes and businesses. The state alleges the owner has not complied with air quality, solid waste and stormwater permits. Last November, the business was issued a 357-thousand dollar civil penalty, which is being contested. The contempt hearing has been set for April 29th.
