Odor Elimination and Cannabis Odor & Waste Management Plan Facility Type: Retail, Cultivation, and Manufacturing Location: 13419 Fenway Blvd N, Suite 103, Hugo, Minnesota Zoning: I-3 General Industrial District Facility Operations and Zoning Compliance The facility operates within the City of Hugo’s I-3 General Industrial District, which permits industrial uses provided they do not create detectable off-site nuisances, including odor. ● All cultivation, manufacturing, and processing activities occur entirely indoors within an enclosed warehouse space. ● Retail operations are separated from cultivation and manufacturing areas. ● No outdoor cultivation, processing, drying, or storage of cannabis occurs on site. ● HVAC systems are fully enclosed and designed to prevent odor migration outside the building. ● Exterior doors, loading areas, and transfer points are managed under controlled procedures to minimize air exchange during odor-producing activities. Odor Control Plan A. Carbon Filtration and Odor Elimination Equipment Odor elimination is achieved through the use of activated charcoal carbon filtration systems specifically designed for cannabis cultivation and processing environments. ● Flowering Room: ○ Three (3) carbon filters installed, as flowering produces the strongest odor profile. ● Drying Room: ○ One (1) dedicated carbon filter to control odor during post-harvest drying. ● Vegetative Room: ○ One (1) carbon filter to manage plant odor during growth. ● Facility-Wide Filtration: ○ One (1) large carbon filtration unit serving the overall facility air exhaust. Each carbon filter is paired with an appropriately sized exhaust fan and ducting system engineered to meet or exceed room-specific air exchange requirements. Filters are installed in locations that are easily accessible and interchangeable, allowing for routine inspection and periodic replacement to ensure ongoing effectiveness.
