NCIA’s #IndustryEssentials webinar series is our premier digital educational series featuring a variety of interactive programs allowing us to provide you timely, engaging and essential education when you need it most.

Navigating environmental requirements and assessments can pose significant challenges when applying for a cannabis cultivation license. One of the primary complexities stems from the diverse array of environmental standards and regulatory frameworks that differ not only between states but also within local jurisdictions. Despite this regulatory patchwork, cannabis operators encounter a common thread of environmental obligations that must be addressed comprehensively.

When initiating environmental regulatory compliance, cultivators face a multifaceted evaluation of their cultivation policies and operations. This includes but is not limited to considerations such as sediment and erosion control, water usage and conservation, wastewater discharge management, energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction, air quality management, and odor control measures. Each of these aspects requires meticulous attention and adherence to specific guidelines to ensure environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance.

This webinar seeks to provide cultivators with actionable insights and best practices tailored to navigate these complex environmental requirements effectively. By offering guidance on sediment control methods, innovative water conservation strategies, energy-efficient practices, pest management, and odor mitigation technologies, we aim to empower cultivators to proactively address environmental concerns and optimize their operations. With the ultimate goal of assisting cultivators in enhancing their chances of successfully passing environmental reviews and establishing environmentally responsible and sustainable cultivation.
