Daniel Hudson

The Department of Cannabis Control has approved a specialty cottage outdoor commercial cannabis license for Daniel Hudson, located at 29190 Eel River Ranch Road in Covelo, Mendocino County, California. The project involves 2,450 square feet of mature cultivation within a 9.53-acre footprint on a site where cannabis cultivation has occurred since 1992. The operation utilizes 20 100-gallon cultivation pots and relies on an existing on-site rainwater catchment system for irrigation, with an estimated maximum annual water requirement of 50,000 gallons. Under the guidance of Environmental Scientist Danielle Clendening, the project has been granted a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CCR Section 15301, as it involves minor alterations with negligible expansion. This regulatory action, submitted on December 2, 2024, and associated with solicitation number LCA24-0000836, is a licensing approval rather than a procurement contract for goods or services. All final environmental documents and project approval records are maintained by the Office of Environmental Evaluation in Rancho Cordova, California.
