CALIFORNIA POLLUTION SETTLEMENT: The US Department of Justice has reached a $2 million settlement with CEMEX California Cement LLC for violations of the Clean Air Act at its Victorville plant.
CEMEX will implement new emission limits and pay the penalty to resolve claims that it released pollutants without proper permits, leading to significant air quality improvements in the area.
The agreement comes after the EPA alleged CEMEX undertook major modifications without required reviews or permits, contributing to excessive nitrogen oxide emissions.
Under the consent decree, CEMEX must significantly cut its emissions and face potential millions in compliance costs. The public has 30 days to comment before final court approval.
