TXI Riverside Cement

A class action lawsuit has been filed in Riverside County Superior Court against TXI Riverside Cement, on behalf of anyone who had been affected by contamination from the cement plant. The lawsuit claims the plant is responsible for residents' illnesses ranging from cancer to skin irritation. The California Air Resources Board indicates that in sufficient amounts, the chemical can cause cancer, respiratory problems, kidney failure and skin rashes, among other ailments.

In April of this year, according to regional air-quality officials, dust from the plant contained unacceptable levels of hexavalent chromium. The contaminant is most notably responsible for the contamination, and subsequent class action lawsuit by Hinkley residents, which resulted in a settlement of $333 million paid by Pacific Gas and Electric. TXI has been cited for violations by the regional air district, who traced the contaminated dust back to TXI, which they report is about 20 times the acceptable limit. TXI has also been ordered to control the dust.
