Rhode Island judge lets scrapyard stay open but boosts oversight after fire and violations.

A Rhode Island judge allowed Rhode Island Recycled Metals to stay open but increased oversight over its operations and environmental cleanup. The decision came after a fire in July and follows years of environmental violations. The judge denied requests to put the scrapyard into receivership but granted the special master expanded control over the site's remediation and permitting process, aiming to address the company's history of noncompliance.
