Observed pesticide application logs indicating Eagle 20, Mallet and Avid (not on the updated
list from the Colorado Department of Agriculture) being used in the facility. Employees
verified the possible use of Eagle 20, Mallet and Avid (not on the updated list from the
Colorado Department of Agriculture) being used on plants in the facility. Employees were able
to verify by RFID number for plants that had been treated based on the logs provided on
3/26/2015 and 3/31/2015. The facility was able to provide further information regarding SDS
information, standard operating procedures and the current count of plants sprayed in the facility
during the time of the report issued on 3/31/2015.
Based upon our site visit and investigation of the premises, the Denver Department of
Environmental Health (DEH) finds sufficient evidence that marijuana plants or marijuana product
on the premises may have been contaminated by pesticides that have been determined by the
Colorado Department of Agriculture to be a violation to use on marijuana; therefore, DEH finds that
the presence of these possible pesticide residues on marijuana plants being cultivated for human
consumption either by inhalation or ingestion may pose a significant public health risk.
Given this evidence of possible pesticide contamination, and pursuant to the authority granted to the
department of environmental health to protect public health under DRMC 24-16 and 24-17, you
are ordered to hold all plants in the areas specified herein, specifically: Vegetative Room 1 and
those identified by RFID tags. All plants subject to this order shall remain on hold until written
approval is obtained from the Denver Department of Environmental Health to lift the hold. During
the period of the hold, the subject plants:
During the period of the hold:
1. The subject plants may be watered and maintained.
2. The subject plants must remain segregated from other, non-contaminated plants.
3. The subject plants may be harvested, but the resulting harvest must remain segregated
from other plants by RFID number and may not be commingled with the harvests from
any other plants. The harvested marijuana product must remain subject to the hold.
4. No clippings or clones may be taken from the subject plants until the hold is lifted.
