U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached a settlement with the Nevada Cement Company to install new air pollution control technology at its Fernley, Nev. facility and replace a heavy-duty diesel truck and a diesel railcar mover at the facility with clean emissions vehicles to address alleged violations of federal Clean Air Act regulations. The pollution controls and clean emissions vehicles will reduce NOx emissions by approximately 1,140 tons per year. Nevada Cement Company also paid a civil penalty of $550,000 as part of the settlement.
