Three perspectives on
the foothill scarring
As seen by the Hanson Quarry operator, Supervisor Kniss, and CGF
For many years, the Hanson Permanente Quarry in Cupertino has served as a landmark in contrasts, a massive industrial project in
the midst of the otherwise-protected Santa Clara County foothills. Recently, CGF launched a campaign
to restore some of this scarred landscape to its former beauty by raising community awareness and opening a dialogue with Hanson Permanente and the County to explore ways of reversing the damage from waste
rock deposits on prominent ridgelines. This issue of Green Footnotes
provides an update on our progress to date, from three perspectives:
A letter from Stewart Smith, Vice President, Operations, Hanson Permanente Cement
A letter from Liz Kniss, Santa Clara County Supervisor
A response from Brian Schmidt, Legislative Advocate, Committee for Green Foothills
Published July 2004 in
Green Footnotes.
