Dear Ms. Esser,
On behalf of our entire city council, thank you for your participation in the city of
Cupertino’s recent study session on the Lehigh quarry and cement plant. Please also pass
along our special appreciation to Mr. Rudholm for his professionalism in dealing with this
very difficult subject.
As part of the study session, several questions were raised regarding Notices of Violation
(NOVs) which have been issued by the county for violation of the terms of the reclamation
plan at the Lehigh site. It would be enormously helpful if you would help clarify the nature
of the NOVs and any resulting corrections, amendments, or enforcement actions taken by
the county.
Thank you again for the ongoing assistance from you and your staff on this issue.
Sincerely,
Kris Wang, Mayor
