The Springfield-Greene County Health Department has issued a Cease and Desist order against Springfield Iron and Metal for not having the proper permits.

People living near the business at 1323 W. Locust St. had complained about noise and fumes.

The company has been shredding scrap metal since February.

The Cease and Desist Order requires the business to shut down operations for at least 60 days. The health department will require the company to meet state air pollution standards before opening again.
