County to Produce a 10-year Record of Violations at Lehigh

With unanimous support of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Simitian has requested a complete record of Lehigh’s violations across numerous agencies spanning a decade in order “to ensure increased transparency and accountability at the site.” According to Simitian’s January 25, 2022 Board Referral, “This referral is designed to provide additional transparency, and to help clarify whether Lehigh’s various violations, taken as a whole, constitute the basis for further regulatory and/or legal action.” The report is expected to be available this May.
