BUZZI UNICEM USA Cement Plant, College Park, Georgia | Industrial Utilities

BUZZI UNICEM USA is a cement plant located at 2214 West Point Ave, College Park, Georgia, in the United States. The facility is operational and serves the construction industry by producing cement, a key material for infrastructure and building projects. As part of the Buzzi Unicem group, it operates within a well-established industrial sector in the region. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces multi-media environmental regulations including the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Section 313 reporting. Cement plants are subject to specific emissions standards for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, and must obtain permits for air and water discharges. The facility's NAICS codes (327310 and 999999) indicate its primary activity in cement manufacturing. Cement production is energy-intensive and generates significant CO2 emissions from both fuel combustion and the calcination process. The plant's location in College Park, near Atlanta, places it in a region with growing demand for construction materials. Its operational status and scale contribute to the local economy and infrastructure development, while environmental oversight ensures compliance with federal and state regulations.

Cement plants are significant sources of air pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, which can affect local air quality. The facility's proximity to the Atlanta metropolitan area means it operates in a region with high population density, increasing the potential for community exposure to emissions. Georgia's climate and geography also influence water usage and stormwater management, which are regulated under the Clean Water Act.
