The Portland Cement Association has predicted modest growth in the US cement industry during 2011 – 12‚ and expects that 2013 will mark a watershed for the industry in terms of a substantive and sustained recovery in volume and company decisions to re-open in the context of harsh EPA NESHAP regulations (Maxwell-Cook
