"Lawmakers and residents on St. Paul’s East Side are disappointed by a judge’s order removing most of the limitations on a local foundry that were meant to curb its pollution.

Payne-Phalen residents attended a recent community meeting about the development with Northern Iron, saying they’re upset with the decision and concerned about the health impact in their neighborhood.

“I don’t want to move, I want that foundry under control,” said Sarah Degner Riveros, who is raising her five children in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood. "

Northern Iron neighbors push back after judge rejects pollution limits at St. Paul foundry A judge allowed a metal foundry in St. Paul to resume normal operations, overruling limits imposed by state regulators. Residents and local lawmakers are worried.
