Halliburton Bulk Cement Facility, Fairbanks, Alaska - Cement Plant

Halliburton Bulk Cement Facility is a cement plant located at 1429 Minnie St, Fairbanks, Alaska, in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing) and 327310 (Cement Manufacturing). As a bulk cement facility, it plays a key role in supplying cement for construction and industrial applications in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which includes 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 emissions standards for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, and must manage hazardous waste and stormwater runoff. The facility's scale is typical for a regional cement distribution and blending operation in Alaska. Cement plants are significant due to their energy-intensive processes and potential environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and dust. This facility's location in Fairbanks, a city with a population of about 30,000, means it serves a regional market. Its operational status ensures a steady supply of cement for local infrastructure and building projects, contributing to the economic activity of the area.

Fairbanks, Alaska, experiences a subarctic climate with long, cold winters and short summers. The facility's operations may be affected by permafrost and seasonal temperature variations, which can influence emissions and waste management practices. Cement plants are sources of particulate matter and combustion emissions, and proximity to residential areas requires adherence to air quality standards. The facility's environmental management is governed by EPA regulations, including permits for air emissions and water discharges.
