BRIDESOURCE, a subsidiary of Clyde Companies, is proposing the Moapa Valley limestone quarry and cement plant project on a site consisting of 2,200 acres of land in Nevada in the USA. The Western U.S. needs more cement production. Only 1/3 of the roughly 96 cement plants in operation in the country reside in the Western states. Shortages in recent years are currently being met by foreign imports. This can be reduced with a new cement plant in Glendale, where a capacity of 1.5-2.0 Mta (illustration) is envisaged. The project would be subject to a detailed permitting process required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
