Dear Mr. Cahoj:

The following observations were based on visits to Evolutionary Holdings on 3/10/15 and 3/16/15:

Observed pesticide application logs indicating Eagle 20 and other pesticides (not on the updated

list from the Colorado Department of Agriculture) being used in the facility. Employees

verified the use of Eagle 20 and other pesticides (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 visit from 3/10/2015 and the

report issued on 3/12/2015. 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 3/16/2015.

The following order supersedes the document issued on 3/16/2015.

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: Flower Room A – Purple

Zone, Flower Room A – Red Zone, and Flower Room B. 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.

The hold may be lifted in one of the following ways:

1. The DEH may issue a written order to lift the hold after the pesticide analysis done by

the Colorado Department of Agriculture yields a “no detect” result, so that DEH is

satisfied that the pesticide residue levels are insignificant and the marijuana plants are

safe for human consumption.

2. The DEH may issue a written order to lift the hold after the owner/manager of the

marijuana facility provides written documentation from an independent accredited

laboratory to satisfy the executive director of DEH that the marijuana plant/product is

safe for human consumption. The Department will evaluate any information provided

related to the safety of the plants.

3. The DEH may issue a written order to condemn the plants and/or product. This order

would be issued in conjunction with agents from the state Marijuana Enforcement

Division and the city Department of Excise and Licenses, so that subsequent destruction

of plants is done lawfully according to MED regulations.

4. The owner/manager of the marijuana facility agrees to voluntary destroy the plants, and

appropriately destroys the subject plants in accordance with MED regulations. The

owner/manager must contact DEH before proceeding with condemnation.

Please be advised that if the Department of Environmental finds sufficient evidence that your

facility is not strictly adhering to the conditions of the hold order, all plants in question may be

condemned and disposed of to protect public health.
