Comment: The SEPA checklist for this project failed to identify that cannabis production and processing
results in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other odorous compounds to the
atmosphere. See, for example, Samburova et al., 2019, doi: 10.1080/10962247.2019.1654038, and Urso
et al., 2023, doi: 10.1080/10962247.2023.2175741. VOC emissions are precursors to atmospheric
ozone. Odorous compounds, many of which are also VOCs, can have a clear impact on nearby
residents. Emissions of VOCs and odors are regulated under Washington's Clean Air Act.
The worksheet also failed to identify that this facility will require air permitting by the Puget Sound Clean
Air Agency (PSCAA). Pursuant to WAC 173-400-110(2)(a) and PSCAA Regulation I, Section 6.03, this
facility may not begin actual construction until an order of approval has been issued by PSCAA. PSCAA's
Notice of Construction air permitting process is outlined on the Agency website at
https://pscleanair.gov/179/Apply-for-Notice-of-Construction-Permit. The applicant may contact John
Dawson (John.Dawson@cleanairpugetsound.net, 206-689-4060), Engineering Manager at PSCAA, for
more information on this process.
