Cupertino/Los Altos/Los Altos Hills – Is Noise Pollution Keeping You Awake at Night?


Cupertino/Los Altos/Los Altos Hills – Is Noise Pollution Keeping You Awake at Night?
The Issue
Is noise pollution keeping you awake at night or interrupting your day? Noise from the Lehigh Southwest Cement Plant next to Rancho San Antonio County Park has been increasing over the past decade.
After years of noise complaints Lehigh funded a noise study in cooperation with Santa Clara County. Its conclusion suggested that residents were complaining about noise made by crickets, and the County is standing by that study! In response, the City of Cupertino is funding its own noise study, Hopefully, the County will listen.
Noise Ordinance [B11-154] states - Prohibited acts: Noise disturbances prohibited. No person may willfully or negligently make, continue or cause to be made or continue any sound which: endangers or injures the safety or health of human beings or animals; or annoys or disturbs a person of normal sensitivities; or endangers or injures personal or real properties.
If noise from Lehigh keeps you awake at night, interrupts your sleep, forces you to close windows and doors, or annoys you, please sign this petition. You will support the City of Cupertino's study and send a message to Santa Clara County that this is a real problem for many residents seeking relief from excessive noise generated by the Lehigh Southwest’s cement plant and quarry. Our elected officials must ensure that noise regulations are enforced.
Thank you
