Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,265 Nonmetallic Mineral Product facilities in this database, Holcim (us) Inc-Theodore Al Plant reports the 189th-largest volume, placing it in the top 5.8% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Ammonia alone is 99.7% 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.
Holcim (us) Inc-Theodore Al Plant files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 327310 (Nonmetallic Mineral Product).

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 Ammonia, Chromium, Lead And Lead Compounds, Mercury; nearby reporters include Mmc Materials Gulf Coast LLC - Theodore. "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.
