California Portland Cement is a harbour facility located at 230 Port Rd. #3 in Stockton, California, within San Joaquin County. The facility is operational and serves the cement industry, handling bulk cargo such as cement and related materials. Its location on the Stockton Deep Water Channel provides access to the San Francisco Bay and international shipping routes. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including the US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) for vessel discharges and the Clean Water Act for shoreside operations. As a harbour handling bulk cement, it manages stormwater runoff and potential dust emissions. The facility's scale is typical for a regional cement distribution hub, with throughput measured in tons per year. The environmental context includes proximity to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, a sensitive estuarine ecosystem. The facility's operations involve managing stormwater and potential cement dust to minimize impacts on local waterways. Its role in the regional construction industry supports infrastructure development while adhering to environmental regulations.

The facility is located near the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, a critical estuarine habitat. As a bulk cement harbour, key environmental considerations include stormwater management to prevent runoff of cement dust and other particulates into nearby waterways. Oil-water separation from vessel operations is also important to protect aquatic life. The facility's compliance with US EPA NPDES permits and MARPOL Annex I and V helps mitigate these risks.
