Kate McClain, Public Relations spokeperson for Titan America
Medley, Fla. - A spokesperson for Titan America said the company is well-prepared to maintain production at the Pennsuco cement plant, to address customer needs and to meet its commitments, despite a new Federal District Court ruling.
On January 30, 2009 the US South Florida Federal District Court issued a ruling cancelling all permits approved in 2002 for limestone mining in the Lake Belt area of Miami-Dade, with immediate effect. The ruling pertains to nine US Army Corp of Engineers (ACE) permits held by several companies, including Titan America LLC’s subsidiary, Tarmac America LLC.
