A Hanson Quarry Update A proposed expansion, complete with a new quarry pit — we at the Committee for Green Foothills submitted comments on what the environmental analysis should cover. We will comment on the resulting document. A legal analysis of the extent the quarry is “grandfathered” and exempt from permit requirements — may be in the works. It will require our review. The long-ignored easement violation by the quarry — for an easement meant to limit the visual and environmental damage from the quarry. We keep trying to get it addressed. The rock dump on the Cupertino ridgeline — Hanson has done some but not all of the work they said they would do to fix it. We’ve followed it for years. The land swap — between the quarry and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is complete. A good idea that rectifies some of the quarry’s environmental damage to neighboring land by exchanging ownership whereby MidPen received three acres for each acre it gave up. Obviously, the quarry bears watching! Published Fall 2007 in Green Footnotes. Page last updated December 15, 2007. |
