SAN FRANCISCO -Today, E.P.A. representatives will attend a public meeting in Saratoga to answer questions about upcoming air toxics monitoring at Stevens Creek Elementary School in Cupertino.

Planning Department, is community-wide meeting regarding recent activities at the Lehigh (formerly Hanson) Cement Plant and Quarry.
