Phoenix Cement Co is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Clarkdale, AZ, in the nonmetallic mineral product sector. It reported 3.0K lbs of releases across 10 chemicals in 2023, and 13.6K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 9,133 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. Reported volume fell against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk.

Of the chemicals reported, 1 is classified as carcinogen, representing 8% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Nonmetallic Mineral Product sector. The primary release pathway is air releases, accounting for 98% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,265 Nonmetallic Mineral Product facilities in this database, Phoenix Cement Co reports the 343rd-largest volume, placing it in the top 10.5% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Ammonia alone is 79.0% 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.
Phoenix Cement Co files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 327310 (Nonmetallic Mineral Product). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 13.6K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 12 distinct chemicals, 1 of which (8%) carry a carcinogenic classification.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 13.3K lbs (97.7% of total volume), followed by land disposal at 2.3%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals increased by 78% - from 1.7K lbs to 3.0K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community.
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 Phoenix Cement Co has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements.

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.
Release quantities are self-reported by the facility and may represent estimates rather than exact measurements. "Total releases" includes releases to air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal. Quantities shown here are aggregated across all available reporting years.
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.
