Consent Order Issued Against Trulieve Over Wastewater and Runoff Issues

A formal consent order has been issued to Trulieve concerning wastewater and runoff issues at its cannabis facility in Jefferson County, Florida. The order addresses concerns raised in April that the company sprayed wastewater onto its outdoor lawn, with some of that water moving beyond the facility’s perimeter without proper permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Trulieve has two options to settle the matter: pay $80,000 or complete a $120,000 environmental project approved by DEP. The company must also submit an application regarding wastewater discharges within 120 days and an irrigation plan within 30 days to prevent spills onto neighboring properties.

The order establishes specific compliance requirements that Trulieve must meet to resolve the regulatory concerns regarding its operations in the state of Florida. The company must adhere to the terms of the consent order issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
