 on environmental citizen-suit injunction in Gjovik v. Apple, City of Santa 
 Clara, Jenab et al.\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif. — On Wednesday, June 25, 2026, at 
 10:00 a.m., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California 
 will hold a hearing on a Motion for Preliminary Injunction that asks the 
 Court to order the removal of all hazardous waste, hazardous materials, and 
 toxic gases from Apple Inc.'s semiconductor fabrication facility at 3250 
 Scott Boulevard in Santa Clara.\n\nThe motion, brought under the 
 citizen-suit provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
 (RCRA), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and California 
 public-nuisance law, alleges the facility presents an "imminent and 
 substantial endangerment" to the surrounding community — including an 
 adjacent apartment complex, public parks, a children's playground, an 
 urgent care clinic, places of worship, and a nearby school. The same 
 hearing will also address the defendants' motions to dismiss and the 
 Initial Case Management Conference.\n\nA press conference will be held 
 immediately following the hearing outside the courthouse, where plaintiff 
 Ashley M. Gjovik will be available to answer questions and discuss the 
 case.\n\n\nBACKGROUND: According to the motion, Apple operates a 
 semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing facility ("chip fab") at 3250 
 Scott Boulevard that handles chemicals capable of mass-casualty harm if 
 released — including arsine, phosphine, chlorine, hydrofluoric acid, 
 silane, and pyrophoric precursors that ignite on contact with air or 
 water.\n\nAn October 2025 EPA Consent Agreement and Final Order documented 
 seven RCRA counts at the facility, following an inspection that was 
 triggered by Gjovik's tip — a tip that also prompted a separate federal 
 criminal investigation in 2024. At least eleven toxic-gas incidents 
 occurred at the facility between June 2016 and May 2024, including worker 
 chemical-exposure hospitalizations. The plaintiff offered all three 
 defendants a menu of stipulated interim safety measures — none requiring 
 an admission of liability — and all three declined. The motion notes that 
 in 1995, in LSI Logic Corp. v. City of Santa Clara, the California Sixth 
 District Court of Appeal held the City's approval of sensitive uses 
 adjacent to a similar chip fab to be unacceptably dangerous. \n\nThe relief 
 sought is targeted at the chemicals, not the building: the motion asks the 
 Court to order removal of the hazardous materials within thirty days while 
 permitting Apple to continue non-industrial use of the property, such as 
 administrative activities and paperwork. \n\n\n\nThe docket is here:
