In Brief: The information on this page is presented in conjunction with Earthjustice's new comprehensive report on mercury pollution from cement kilns.



Location: Three Forks, MT

Reported 2006 Emissions (in lbs.): 7

Mercury Input for 2006 (in lbs.): Data Pending

This plant is about 80 miles northwest of Yellowstone National Park, which increasingly faces pollution problems, including high mercury levels in its lakes. Local environmental groups have fought to clean up this plant in the past. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality fined Holcim in 2004 for violating air quality standards.

Holcim received permission to burn recycle tires in it's operations at one time. Are they now burning them? Isn't that a huge pollution problem? Can we get it stopped as soon as possible? I live downwind from the plant, about 35 miles away, and I have been very concerned for a long time. I am happy the new administration is finally going to do something about it. Health is more important than corporate profits!!
