The Port of San Diego is no longer talking with Mitsubishi Cement Corporation about starting a cement hauling business at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal because it would create too much pollution.

“We have some of the highest diesel pollution and air pollution in Barrio Logan and National City higher than 95% of the state of California,” said Diane Takvorian, a co-founder of the Environmental Health Coalition.Mitsubishi was asked to reshape the plan which was rejected in 2020, however, the new proposal failed to offer significant emission free alternatives to the high number of diesel truck traffic the project would create.

“I don’t think it’s completely dead,” Takvorian said. “But I think they got a very clear statement from the community that they will not tolerate this level of pollution.”
