Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,265 Nonmetallic Mineral Product facilities in this database, Carmeuse Lime & Stone Inc. reports the 238th-largest volume, placing it in the top 7.3% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Vanadium compounds alone is 93.0% of the total.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
Carmeuse Lime & Stone Inc. files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 327410 (Nonmetallic Mineral Product). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 42.4K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 6 distinct chemicals, 1 of which (17%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Vanadium compounds; Lead compounds; Lead And Lead Compounds; Mercury.
The dominant release pathway is land disposal at 42.3K lbs (99.8% of total volume), followed by air releases at 0.2%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 89% - from 16.4K lbs to 1.7K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Carmeuse Lime Inc alongside O-N Minerals (chemstone) Winchester Lime Plant. Nearest other TRI reporters: Lhoist Na of Alabama Llc-O'Neal Plant; Lhoist Na of Alabama-Alabaster Plant; Avanti Polar Lipids Inc; Specification Rubber Products Inc. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Abrasive Technology; General Shale Brick Inc. - Plant 51; Nsg Glass N.a. Inc; Johns Manville Plant 01.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Carmeuse Lime & Stone Inc. has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Lhoist Na of Alabama Llc-O'Neal Plant for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Vanadium compounds, Lead compounds, Lead And Lead Compounds, Mercury; nearby reporters include Lhoist Na of Alabama Llc-O'Neal Plant. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
