| Abstract |
The report presents the results of a study to evaluate the effect of environmental regulations on present production and future expansion capabilities of the 24 active cement plants in U.S. EPA Region V. This study was done in response to allegations that environmental regulations are a significant factor in the present Midwest cement shortage. The results of a survey of these 24 plants show that environmental regulations are not significantly affecting overall cement production in Region V. However, retirement of 13 percent of present cement capacity in Region V without replacement, from 1975 to 1978, has probably aggravated the shortage situation. Environmental regulations are apparently a major factor in the reluctance of cement companies to expand capacities. This situation may change in the near future as rising cement prices improve the return on investment from plant expansion, and as acquisitions of smaller cement companies by larger corporations increase the financial capability to expand. |
