Mountain Top Crops LLC

The Mountain Top Crops LLC project involves the establishment of a small outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation site located on the northwestern side of Hayfork Valley in Trinity County at APN 019-510-07-00. Approved by the California Department of Cannabis Control pursuant to the Business and Profession Code, the project features a mature canopy area of 9,780 square feet contained within four hoop houses. The site is situated on flat topography and is accessed via Westridge Road, surrounded by unclassified rural residential land uses. To support operations, the facility utilizes an onsite groundwater well, two 2,500-gallon water storage tanks, a generator for power, and a permitted onsite septic system for wastewater management. A Notice of Exemption issued by the Department of Cannabis Control certifies that the project is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA guidelines. This exemption is based on the project's consistency with local zoning, community plans, and the development density established by Trinity County's certified Environmental Impact Report. The project is deemed to fit within the parameters of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, meaning no additional environmental analysis is required unless project-specific significant effects peculiar to the site are identified. The project is managed under the oversight of the Department of Cannabis Control Environmental Evaluation Office.
