Halliburton Energy / Nikiski Bulk Cement is a cement plant located at 52300 Nikiski Beach Rd in Kenai, Alaska, within the Kenai Peninsula County. As a cement production facility, it operates in the industrial utilities sector, serving regional construction and energy needs. The plant is classified under NAICS code 327310, indicating its role in cement manufacturing. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces multi-media 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 in the US 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). As a cement plant in Alaska, this facility plays a key role in supplying construction materials for local infrastructure and industrial projects. The plant's location in Kenai, near the Cook Inlet, places it in a region with significant oil and gas activity, contributing to the local economy. Environmental considerations include potential emissions from cement production and proximity to nearby communities.

Cement plants are associated with significant emissions of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and other pollutants from the calcination process and fuel combustion. The Kenai area experiences a subarctic climate, which can affect dispersion of emissions. Proximity to the Cook Inlet and local communities necessitates careful environmental management under EPA regulations.
