RAVENA - The state Department of Environmental Conservation on Wednesday said that the Holcim LaFarge cement plant here will not be allowed to burn tires in its kiln as they don’t have the proper equipment to so.
While it remained unclear as to whether the company would appeal that decision or how intent they were on burning tires, the move for now ends what had been a simmering debate about the fuels used at the large cement plant.
