Truleaf Inc. Initial Study/Negative Declaration

Truleaf Inc. is undertaking a commercial cannabis cultivation and processing project at 4622 Glass Court in Modesto, California, within a 20,400 sq ft warehouse facility, with 7,957 sq ft designated for indoor cultivation and additional space for processing, drying, packaging, nursery operations, and cold storage. The project includes operational enhancements such as a carbon canister filtration system to manage air emissions, water-based mechanical extraction for product processing, and the use of cold rooms for storage, all aimed at maximizing yield and compliance with state regulations. The initiative has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), resulting in a Negative Declaration that concludes the project will not have a significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for mitigation measures. Formal administrative approval was granted on December 9, 2025, with the Notice of Determination filed on December 12, 2025, and environmental filing fees totaling $3,025.75 paid in accordance with Title 14 CCR §753.5 and Fish and Game Code §711.4. The facility will operate as a non-volatile manufacturing and wholesale distribution center serving state-licensed cannabis entities, with all regulatory submissions handled through the California Department of Cannabis Control and the Stanislaus County Clerk-Recorder. This initiative is not a federal procurement contract and does not involve Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, contract line item numbers (CLINs), or federal payment systems such as WAWF or IPP. There is no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or contract value beyond regulatory fees, and no government acquisition officer, contracting representative, or technical oversight role has been designated. The project’s legal and administrative framing centers on state-level environmental compliance and cannabis licensing requirements, with all documentation required to be submitted in hard copy to specified state and county offices. No federal representations, certifications, socioeconomic designations, Unique Entity IDs, or MIL-STD packaging or labeling standards apply. The facility’s operational specifications are defined by CEQA compliance, state cannabis regulations, and the applicant’s proposed methods for cultivation and extraction, with no procurement-based evaluation criteria, incentives, or contractual performance obligations beyond regulatory adherence and fee payment.
