Expansion of Lehigh cement may worsen local pollution
Union Bridge residents voiced concern at a public hearing over Lehigh Portland Cement Co. expansion plans that would nearly double the plant size. About two dozen residents attended and argued emissions could rise, with fears about dust on homes and cars. The company plans to buy air credits from two Baltimore firms to boost emissions and hopes to start construction this year with upgrades in use by 200. Maryland Department of the Environment set a March 10 deadline for complaints. MDE has recommended approval, but a final decision could take a month.
