SYSTECH ENVIRONMENTAL Cement Plant in Fredonia, Kansas | Industrial Utilities

SYSTECH ENVIRONMENTAL is a cement plant situated at 1420 S CEMENT RD in Fredonia, Kansas, within Wilson County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 327310 (Cement Manufacturing), 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal). This diverse classification suggests the plant integrates cement production with specialized waste management services. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States 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. As a cement plant, it is subject to emissions standards for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, and must manage hazardous waste streams in compliance with RCRA. Cement plants are energy-intensive and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, but SYSTECH ENVIRONMENTAL's integration of hazardous waste treatment may provide alternative fuel sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The facility's location in rural Kansas minimizes immediate community exposure, though proximity to Fredonia requires adherence to local air quality standards. Its role in waste management supports regional industrial ecology.

The facility is located in a rural area of southeastern Kansas, where the local environment is characterized by agricultural land and small communities. Cement production generates significant air emissions, including particulate matter and greenhouse gases, which can affect local air quality. The plant's hazardous waste treatment operations involve handling and processing of industrial byproducts, requiring careful management to prevent soil and water contamination. The region's climate, with moderate rainfall and seasonal temperature variations, influences dispersion of emissions and runoff patterns.
