EPA Follows Suit

At the heels of Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action's efforts to clean up the CEMEX cement plant in Lyons, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is now following suit.

Last week, the EPA put CEMEX on notice that their cement plant violated the Clean Air Act hundreds of times since 1997. Not only that, but the cement plant is currently operating without legally required air pollution controls.

The EPA's notice, which is posted on our website, is a boost for efforts to clean up the cement plant, and bolsters citizens efforts to hold CEMEX accountable to clean air and public health.
