River Metals Recycling LLC is seeking an industrial construction environmental permit at 2114 Metal Lane to add a Williams aluminum shredder and a steel shredder with a conveyor system for recycling automobiles and miscellaneous scrap steel, both controlled by a single pulseβjet baghouse (make ETA 2000). The Industrial Construction Permit is active through 12/31/2025 and lists Plant 1465 and local contacts like Responsible Official Brian Lappin, so this reads like a facility-scale recycling upgrade rather than a small yard tweak.
Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection District, through applicant Adam Gassman, has applied for an open burning permit for fire training at 8201 Greenwood Rd.
