CPC TERMINALS - WILMINGTON Cement Plant, Wilmington, California | Industrial Utilities

CPC TERMINALS - WILMINGTON is a cement plant situated at 401 Canal Ave, Wilmington, California, within Los Angeles County. As a cement manufacturing facility, it falls under NAICS code 327310, indicating a medium-to-large scale operation typical of the sector. The plant is operational and serves the industrial infrastructure of the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces multi-media environmental laws 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 emission standards for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, as well as hazardous air pollutants under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Cement production is energy-intensive and generates significant CO2 emissions from calcination and fuel combustion. The plant's location in the Los Angeles area places it in a region with stringent air quality management due to non-attainment status for ozone and particulate matter. Its role in supplying cement for construction and infrastructure projects makes it a key component of the local economy, while its environmental impact is closely monitored under state and federal permits.

The Wilmington area is part of the South Coast Air Basin, which faces challenges in meeting federal air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter. Cement plants in this region are subject to strict emissions limits under the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) rules. The facility's proximity to residential and industrial zones necessitates robust pollution control technologies, such as baghouses and selective catalytic reduction, to minimize dust and NOx emissions. Water usage and stormwater runoff are regulated under the CWA, with permits requiring best management practices to protect local waterways.
