Commissioner Report: Craig Lee, September 22, 2010
L I had a meeting with Council Member Chang on August 20th. This was a'get-acquainted'
meeting over coffee at Panera Bread. We discussed my interests as a PSC commissioner,
especially related to the health and safety hazards presented by the Lehigh Cement Plant and
Quarry. Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Chang sent me two e-mail messages related to Notices
of Violation that have been issued by the CRWQCB and EPA against Lehigh.
2. I have had an e-mail exchange with Sandy James regarding the Lehigh Permanente
Community Council. I have asked her if a member of the PSC can be on the council. She
responded that she did not know if a PSC member was in keeping with the desire of the Lehigh
neighbors to keep the LPCC a small group. She did not rule out membership. She invited all
PSC members to arrange for a tour of the Lehigh facilities.
3. Submitting a PSC Hazard Report regarding traffic signs on Stevens Creek Boulevard, west of
Foothill Boulevard.
