Bad. It will mess with your PH and water quality.

DUROCK cement board MSDS

Excerpt: ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY: Portland cement is expected to be toxic to fish due to its high alkalinity (pH > 12).
Discharge of large quantities directly into waterways would be expected to cause significant fish kills.
