Continental Florida Materials Inc is a cement plant located at 9012 Marlin St, Cape Canaveral, Florida, in Brevard County. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS code 327310, which covers cement manufacturing. As a cement plant, it is part of the industrial utilities sector, producing cement for construction and infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) for emissions, the Clean Water Act (CWA) for water discharges, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for waste management. Cement plants are subject to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). The plant's location in Florida also requires compliance with state-level environmental regulations administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Cement production is energy-intensive and involves significant emissions of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and other pollutants. The plant's proximity to Cape Canaveral and the Atlantic coast may influence its environmental management practices, particularly regarding air quality and water use. As a cement manufacturer, it plays a key role in regional construction supply chains.

Cement plants are significant sources of air pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide. The facility's location in Cape Canaveral, near the coast, may involve considerations for coastal air quality and water resources. Brevard County's population density and proximity to sensitive ecosystems, such as the Indian River Lagoon, could heighten environmental scrutiny. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Air Act and state permits ensures emission controls are in place.
