The agreement puts the county one step closer to reclaiming and restoring the site.
Lehigh Hanson will now have to officially cease cement production at its quarry west of Cupertino in the wake of the company’s legally binding agreement with Santa Clara County.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to sign off on the agreement, moving one step closer to reclaiming and restoring the 3,510-acre site. Supervisor Joe Simitian, whose district encompasses the plant and has long advocated for its closure, called it “the end of 84 years of cement manufacturing on the site.”
Lehigh has played a large role in Bay Area construction projects since 1939, but in recent years, residents and environmentalists have pushed for its closure due to the pollution emitted from the plant. Last year, Lehigh announced that it wouldn’t be restarting cement production after it halted the use of the kiln in April 2020. And in April, the boardTuesday’s decision puts the county closer to achieving Simitian’s three goals: close the plant, stop any new quarrying activity and begin the restoration and reclamation process.Supervisor Otto Lee said he was “ecstatic” over the agreement, which would stop “many dangerous and poisonous gasses and emissions.
