The Air District joined the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other local agencies to reach a settlement to reduce harmful air emissions at Lehigh Cement and Lehigh White Cement portland cement manufacturing plants nationwide, including their Cupertino plant.

The Air District is announcing that a consent decree lodged last year in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by the Air District, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other local agencies with Lehigh Cement and Lehigh White Cement to reduce harmful air emissions has been approved by the court.

The Community Advisory Council will advise the Air District’s Board of Directors on environmental justice and equity-based policy and is the first body of its kind at the Bay Area Air District.
