NW Metals Shut Down After Violating Court Order | Portland News

Portland’s NW Metals is shut down for good after a judge ruled they violated environmental permits tied to a 2021 court order — stemming from an eight-year-old fire that forced evacuations and choked the neighborhood. Despite relocating operations, regulators say they ran shredders without proper air, waste, and stormwater permits. Owner Moyata Anotta denies intentional violations and seeks a temporary reprieve while appealing — but for now, the plant is officially closed, sparking a legal battle over community safety and accountability.
