Boulder County issued CEMEX a Notice of Termination to Cemex (Lyons) on April 10, 2024, after determining that the increased traffic at the plant created a hazard, which improperly expanded the use of the cement plant. Subsequently, a Notice of Termination was issued, which ceases the plant’s right to operate. CEMEX responded on May 9, 2024 asserting that the County made an error in its determination– and has submitted a new study.
CEMEX is challenging Boulder County’s April decision to terminate its right to operate the Lyons cement plant due to violations of its nonconforming use, and has submitted new evidence, including a new traffic study, in an attempt to reverse Land Use's determination. SOSVV, in collaboration with Good Neighbors of Lyons, is fighting to uphold the termination of the cement plant, and prevent the largest CO2 emitter in Boulder County from operating indefinitely, as it has threatened to do.
What’s at Stake?
Allowing CEMEX to continue operations without accountability jeopardizes:
- Public health and air quality
- Cultural and natural heritage, including wildlife habitats
- Boulder County's commitment to sustainability and climate action
How You Can Help
Your contribution to SOSVV will directly support ongoing legal and advocacy efforts to uphold Boulder County’s termination of CEMEX’s right to operate, and to prevent future industrial threats to the Saint Vrain Valley.
