LONGMONT – People who live near a Colorado cement plant are raising concern about dust.
The group Save Our St. Vrain Valley recently filed a report with Boulder County Public Health about dust clouds rising from Cemex’s Lyons plant.
Local resident Richard Cargill told Boulder County commissioners the dark gray dust appeared frequently during the summer.
The Longmont Times Call reports the group showed a video of the dust to local health officials, who said they have met with Cemex about the situation.
Bill Hayes with Boulder County Public Health said the clouds don’t appear to violate any existing regulations, but Cemex officials promised to look into the issue.
Cemex spokesman Walker Robinson said the company has ways to reduce dust and welcomes hearing from people so it can address any concerns.
