Overview

The Permanente Quarry (Lehigh) is a limestone and aggregate mining operation located in the unincorporated foothills of Santa Clara County, Cupertino.

The Lehigh-Permanente quarry is a “vested mine” operation, as determined by the Board of Supervisors on February 8, 2011.

A Reclamation Plan, the document showing how the quarried lands will be restored, originally approved in 1984 and amended in 2012.​​​​
