Also, WRIA 17 instream flow rule regulates this area under the Coastal Management Area that limits use to 5000 gallons per day and installation of a source meter. These requirements are conditions of approval under BLD19-69 and the source meter specification flyer was sent to the applicant when the building permit was issued. These rules are not enforced by Jefferson County-our only obligation is to notify the applicants at time of permitting of the requirements and the building inspectors check to see if a meter is on site or not (they don't even determine if it is connected properly, functions or is the correct specification. We report metering and permitting data by subbasin whenever Ecology requests. Sorry for the delay S From: David W.

Could you have a look and comment on them, please? Also, He had this question: "ls there a condition of approval limiting water usage to 5,000 gpd? lf so, how willwe monitor this to ensure that the "5k gallons per day maximum, is allowed will never be exceed"? Also, where does this 5,000 gpd maximum requirement come from? The sentence needs more context." lf you could answer this we'd appreciate it. Thanks!

David, The contradiction are in the LCB operation plan: #3 references the hydroponic system #5 a. and b. reference solvent, and extracts. #6. c.1,3, 4 and 5 references bubble hash, oils, extracts and infused products So you can see the problem I would suggest that, to clarify the record, and avoid unnecessary confusion, the Supplemental Application for Cottage lndustry form be modified to reference the differences between what the LCB operation plan seems to allow versus the intention of this permit approval. This will document for the record that this approval is specific to only portions of the LCB license and we can make conditions that state any change in operation beyond drying, trimming and packaging would require additional review by our departments. Otherwise, this department doesn't see any other issues with allowing this proposal to proceed to permitting provided appropriate conditions of approval regarding septic capacity, waste strength and water use limitations based on WRIA 17 instream flow rule.

Johnson <d iohnson@co. iefferson.wa.us> Subject: Re: FW: MLA18-OO1O2 Cottage lndustry to produce and process cannibis-parcel 601105013 Coyle Rd Hello David, There must be some miscommunication. We do not grow hydroponically, nor do we intend to. We have never nor do we intend to make extracts using solvents. We outsorce to a third party who makes the extracts for us. Having it listed on our operating plan with the WSLCB allows us to sell it even though we don't make it ourselves. Our permits filed with the county reflect our current operation. We hand water all of our rooms which we have done from the beginning which we will continue to do. This allows us to eliminate waste water completely and monitor the health of our plants on a daily basis. Marijuana plants like a dry environment, hand watering allows us to control that. To create solvents using extracts you must have a facility that is licensed through the WSLCB. We do not have the ability, knowledge, or equipment to make extracts using solvents and nor do we intend to. In order to sell these we must have it listed on our operating plan. As discussed at the preapplication meeting we only deal with flower products in house including: flower, joints, and trim. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any more information. Thank you, Jessie Williamson On Thu, Mar 28, 2019,7:39 AM David W. Johnson <djohnson@coiefTerson wrote: From: Susan Porto <SPorto@coiefferson. Sent: Wednesday, March 27 ,2019 4: l8 PM To: David W.

It is the responsibility of each waste generator to properly evaluate their waste to determine if it designates as a dangerous waste. If a generator's waste does designate as a dangerous waste, then that waste(s) is subject to the applicable management standards found in chapter r73-303 WAC. (a) Wastes that must be evaluated against the dangerous waste regulations include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Waste from marijuana flowers, trim and solid plant material used to create an extract (per WAC 314-55-104). (ii) Waste solvents used in the marijuana process (per WAC 314-55-104). (iii) Discarded plant waste, spent solvents and laboratory wastes from any marijuana processing or quality assurance testing.

Additionally other organic waste methods (for example, anaerobic digestion) may allow the following types of waste materials to be mixed with the cannabis plant waste: food waste, yard waste, and vegetable-based grease or oils. Check with the solid waste section of the local health jurisdiction for approved facilities.
