Three annual harvests are anticipated from the heating-equipped mixed-light greenhouses for a growing season that extends from March through October.  Estimated annual water usage is 199,000 gallons (19.90 gallons/SF/year). Water for irrigation is supplied from a new 200-foot-deep well and 60,120 gallons of hard tank storage. Bucking and drying will occur in an existing drying/storage shed (1,400 SF) by part-time as-needed employees. Additional processing of cannabis will occur offsite at a licensed processing or manufacturing facility. Power is provided by one Honda EU 7-kiloWatt (kW) gasoline generator and two Cummins 30-kW generators for electricity, when needed. A Special Permit is also needed pursuant to Humboldt County Code Section 314-55.4.11(d) to allow a relaxation of the six-hundred foot (600’) setback requirement from Six Rivers National Forest.
