Under this agreement, Cemex will install new technology to further reduce plant emissions.

Selective non-catalytic reduction equipment, along with operational modifications, will minimize NOx emissions, and lime spray absorber equipment will be installed to reduce SO2.

This company said the equipment will further reduce these two emissions which are already below state and federal standards.

The agreement resolves a dispute over whether a company that Cemex acquired in 2000 obtained the appropriate permits before undertaking improvement projects at the plant more than 13 years ago.

Cemex is a global building materials company that provides high quality products and reliable service to customers and communities.
