3502 Highway 1
Davenport, CA 95017
Closed for good in Jan 2010
In 2008, cancer-causing chromium 6 was discovered in the air around the plant, which promoted a temporary shutdown of the facility and a big cleanup bill of $488,232, for which Cemex never reimbursed the county.
The plant also faced pending federal regulations that would have been costly to meet. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the plant was one of the nation's largest mercury-polluting cement plants and was a major emitter of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
The environmental regulations and permitting constraints, as well as the cost of the plant's unionized work force, played a role in the decision to close.
