EPA approves NOx controls at Glens Falls kiln
The EPA approved New York’s source-specific State Implementation Plan for Lehigh Cement Company at 313 Warren Street, Glens Falls, NY, covering one Portland cement kiln. The plan requires Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to meet the 2008 and 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards; the EPA proposed approval on December 26, 2024, received no comments, and says the final action will not interfere with the ozone standards.
No added costs for company or community
The EPA noted that the approved SIP revision helps keep the air safe without imposing extra costs for the company or the community. That means Lehigh Cement and nearby New York residents are not expected to face new expenses because of the RACT controls.
