Mr. Lewis responded that both groups have been in the Mike Maier Building since mid -2000. Rental rate was established at that time; historically Deschutes County has done reduced rates for non -profits, however there is usually a 2% increase each year to cover costs. Market rate would be $1.70/sq. ft. and rent for these tenants is about half that or $.80/sq. ft. Tom Anderson clarified lease rates are below market and County views these groups as partners; rates can be revised if desired. Mr. Lewis clarified that leases are limited to two years with 60 -day notice BOCC May 16, 2018 Page 2 of 4 to terminate lease. Commissioner Henderson asked if all space was being used and Mr. Lewis clarified that all space is being used by non -profits as well as County offices.

Decision was approved and appeal was filed; 21 day open record period was agreed to which ended on May 2"d; during this period concerns were received. Item 1 — Odor — Commissioner DeBone noted this is a new style or odor control and he is supportive. Commissioner Baney asked for clarification of documents in packet and actual name of applicant. Ms. Liu provided clarification on who had sent which reports and their roles. Copy of earlier decision was provided to direct commissioners on relevance of documents included. Commissioner Henderson clarified a "report" is required regarding odor control and parties filing seem to think they only need provide a letter. Simple statements that odor control works isn't enough. Asked where in packet this information is provided. Ms. Liu indicated testimony from other parties in packet was considered as documentation. Commissioner Baney stated she felt there was enough information provided in materials to approve. Two in favor, Baney and DeBone, one, Henderson, opposed. Item 2 — Noise - applicant has satisfied requirement. Item 3 — Water — applicant has satisfied requirement. Item 4 — Utility — Commissioner Henderson expressed concern and frustration on ability of applicants to find ways to get utility/electrical power approvals from utility companies in what he feels is a less than transparent manner. Commissioner Henderson felt applicant may have mislead neighbors and neighbors don't want grower in their area. Commissioner DeBone supports access to power. Conesus is that application can be approved on these four items that were required by application. Commissioner Henderson stated Deschutes County seems to be functioning as BOCC May 16, 2018 Page 3 of 4 a `laboratory' on what works and what doesn't work and is concerned about how to `police' compliance. Commissioner Baney led discussion clarifying that the Board has recourse if systems do not function correctly. Licensed growers can be shut down due to code violation if needed.

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners ("Board") is tasked with determining if the subject proposal meets the requirements listed in the applicable sections of the Deschutes County Code. The Board held a public hearing to consider the appeal, filed by appellants Virgina Sanders, Bart Brown & Mary Ferguson, in response to an Administrative Determination that approved a marijuana production facility proposed by Swamp Fox Farm, LLC. ATTENDANCE: Izze Liu, Associate Planner STAFF MEMORANDUM Date: May 9, 2018 To: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners From: Izze Liu, Associate Planner Re: Deliberations following a public hearing on the appeal of an Administrative Determination for Marijuana Production. File No. 247-18-000206-A, 207-A (247 -17- 000936 -AD). BACKGROUND INFORMATION Applicant: Swamp Fox Farm LLC Appellant's Attorney: Clifton Cannabis Law, c/o Jeremy Dickman Owner: Lee Property Management LLC Appellants: Bart Brown & Mary Ferguson Virginia Sanders et al Appellant's Attorney: Fitch Law Group, PC c/o Edward P. Fitch Proposal: The applicant requested approval of an Administrative Determination to establish a marijuana production facility in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) Zone. Location: The subject property is located at 4725 NE ONeil Way, Redmond; and is further identified on County Assessor Tax Map 14-13-25 as tax lot 200. Review Period: The application was deemed complete on December 28, 2017. The Administrative Determination was issued on February 16, 2018, and an appeal was filed on February 27, 2018. To accommodate the open record period, the applicant agreed to place a 21 -day hold on the 150 -day decision timeline. The 150th day on which the County must take final action on this application is June 18, 2018. Hearing Date: April 11, 2018 Record Period: In compliance with Deschutes County Code (DCC) 22.24.140, the following open record period was provided immediately following the public hearing: a 7 -day period ending on April 18, 2018, for new written evidence and testimony, and a 7 -day period ending on April 25, 2018, for response to materials submitted in the previous period. PURPOSE The Deschutes Board of County Commissioners ("Board") is tasked with determining if the subject proposal meets the requirements listed in the applicable sections of the Deschutes County Code. The Board held a public hearing to consider the appeal, filed by appellant Mary Ferguson, Bart Brown and Virginia Sanders et al, in response to an Administrative Determination that approved a marijuana production facility proposed by Swamp Fox Farm LLC. The Board was provided with a memorandum from staff prior to the hearing that discussed the appellant's arguments and included several attachments consisting of significant materials from the record. The two matrices below are designed to assist the Board in their deliberations. Table 1 focuses on the contested aspects of the application which directly address approval criteria and which require Board interpretations and decisions. Table 2 summarizes comments and testimony received during the hearing and the open record period, and identifies if those comments are directed toward applicable criteria. Attached to this memo are additional materials including testimony submitted at or after the hearing, rebuttals, and all other materials from the record that were not included as attachments to the previous staff memo. ISSUES RAISED IN TESTIMONY & SUBMITTED MATERIALS Table 1 provides a decision matrix for the Board to determine if the application will be approved or denied. These are the four key issues identified in testimony and materials that are applicable to the subject application. Table 2 captures the majority of the impacts, comments, and topics of concern identified in the written materials and testimony from the public hearing and open record period. The issues identified in Table 2 are not applicable to an approval criterion. Staff grouped public comments by topic in no particular order other than alphabetical. 247-18-000206-A, 207-A Page 2 of 7 TABLE 1: KEY ISSUES FOR BOARD DECISION STAFF DISCUSSION FOR TABLE 1 1. Odor control The applicant has submitted a mechanical engineer's report verifying that the proposed odor control system will be effective to control odor. The mechanical engineer's report states the applicant will use AgriAir purifiers that utilize a photo -catalytic oxidation (PCO) process to remove bio -contaminants and cannabis odor. The applicant proposes to use three types of AgriAir Industrial Control Units described as AGRIAIR 1000-1, PG -1 and PG -3. The AGRIAIR 1000-1 and PG -1 purifiers are rated to control odors in a space up to 8,000 cubic feet. The PG -3 purifier is rated to control odors in a space up to 12,000 cubic feet. Each type of purifier is provided with photocatalytic generators, pleated carbon filters and MERV-11 filters. Additionally, the applicant submitted new evidence and testimony to the record during the open record period to explain the effectiveness of the AgriAir purifers (Attachment C). The appellant raised concerns that the engineer's report includes a conclusionary opinion that an odor control system would control odor. The appellant has not offered evidence to demonstrate the odor control technologies will be ineffective. Staff defers to the Board to determine if the mechanical engineer's report and additional evidence sufficiently demonstrates compliance with the above criteria. For the Board's convenience, staff has outlined previous Board interpretations regarding odor control below. In the Administrative Determination, staff found the mechanical engineer's report met the requirements of this section and included an ongoing condition of approval: 247-18-000206-A, 207-A Page 3 of 7 mhMNc ' Has the applicant The applicant submitted a mechanical Yes: The application may be approved. 1.

Odor control The applicant has submitted a mechanical engineer's report verifying that the proposed odor control system will be effective to control odor. The mechanical engineer's report states the applicant will use AgriAir purifiers that utilize a photo -catalytic oxidation (PCO) process to remove bio -contaminants and cannabis odor. The applicant proposes to use three types of AgriAir Industrial Control Units described as AGRIAIR 1000-1, PG -1 and PG -3.

Additionally, the applicant submitted new evidence and testimony to the record during the open record period to explain the effectiveness of the AgriAir purifers (Attachment C). The appellant raised concerns that the engineer's report includes a conclusionary opinion that an odor control system would control odor. The appellant has not offered evidence to demonstrate the odor control technologies will be ineffective. Staff defers to the Board to determine if the mechanical engineer's report and additional evidence sufficiently demonstrates compliance with the above criteria. For the Board's convenience, staff has outlined previous Board interpretations regarding odor control below. In the Administrative Determination, staff found the mechanical engineer's report met the requirements of this section and included an ongoing condition of approval: 247-18-000206-A, 207-A Page 3 of 7 Odor: An effective odor control system must at all times prevent unreasonable interference with neighbors' use and enjoyment of their property. The odor control system shall be maintained in working order and shall be in use. This is consistent with the Board's Rubio decision', where the Board found: The Board acknowledges that the criteria of this section are discretionary in terms of what constitutes "unreasonable interference of neighbors' use and enjoyment of their property". The record includes two letters from Oregon -licensed Mechanical Engineer Robert lames, PE, dated November 23 and November 29, 2016. The Board finds the applicant met these criteria. The Board also clarifies that odor control is an ongoing requirement and that the burden of compliance is on the applicant. The Board further clarifies that in subsequent applications, an engineer's letter should explicitly identify that the engineer signing the letter is a mechanical engineer. This is also consistent with the Board's Tewaltz decision, where the Board found: The record contains two letters from Mechanical Engineer lay Castino addressing the mitigation of odor for the property. The initial letter submitted with the application (dated March 20, 2017) and a revised letter (dated September 6, 2017). Although one Board member disagreed, the remaining two Board members found that the applicant could meet the criteria with the ongoing condition of approval: • At all times, the proposed odor control system shall prevent unreasonable interference with neighbors' use and enjoyment of their property, shall be maintained in working order, and shall be in use. The Board may wish to determine consistency with the Board's decision for Evolution Concepts LLC3, where the Board found: Although one Board member found the applicant could meet the criteria with an ongoing condition of approval, two Board members disagreed and found that the applicant did not provide enough specificity regarding odor control measures. The two commissioners found that the information submitted by the applicant does not demonstrate an ongoing capability to insure [sic] odor emissions will not unreasonably interfere with neighbors' use and enjoyment of their property. Staff asks the Board to determine if the applicant has met their burden of proof with respect to odor control. 2. Noise levels In the administrative decision, staff found the engineer's statements satisfied the requirements of this section, with a corresponding condition of approval to ensure ongoing compliance. In the recent Evolution Concepts LLC decision, the Board found: ... two Board members expressed a desire for additional details specific to the proposal and the property, especially concerning controlling sustained mechanical noise from the heating and ventilation equipment 1 Rubio: BOCC Document N2 2017-294, Planning Division File Ns 247-17-000036-A 2 Tewalt: BOCC Document No 2017-718, Planning Division File Ns 247-17-000723-A 3 Evolution Concepts LLC: BOCC Document Ns 2017-773, Planning Division File No 247-17-000803-A 247-18-000206-A, 207-A Page 4 of 7 [... ] The Board finds that the applicant has not met its burden of demonstrating in a site-specific manner that sustained noise will not become a problem for this operation, relative to adjoining properties. The applicant provided a mechanical engineer's report stating that sound attenuation walls will be constructed around the AgriAir units. The units will be enclosed with CMU block or wood framing. Each wall partition will be three sided, 10 feet wide, 8 feet tall and the inside of each wall will be attached with an ANC-AB220 quilted fiberglass absorber. The applicant proposes to apply two lapped sections to the interior of each wall to achieve a height of 8 feet and permanently attach each section with grommets and secure to the wall with galvanized hardware. The report states the sound attenuation walls will ensure that the noise from the odor control equipment will not exceed 30 db(A) from all property lines. Additionally, the applicant provided a report (Attachment F) during the open record that describes the current sound measurements of the subject property which exceed 30 dB(A). Staff asks the Board to determine if the applicant has met their burden of proof with respect to noise control. 3. Water source There were several concerns raised regarding water in testimony and in written materials. Many of the concerns were in regards to the use of the domestic well. The applicant has provided a "will serve" letter from Central Oregon Irrigation District referencing water right certificate #83571 and supplemental certificate #76714. The subject property is served with 33.46 acres of irrigation water rights. Delivery of irrigation water is during the irrigation season of April 1St through October 31St. For periods outside of the irrigation season, the applicant proposes to have water delivered to the property by ABC Lightning, LLC. Additionally, the applicant provided a letter from Avion Water Company, Inc. stating that potable water can be served to the subject property for the proposed marijuana production use through ABC Lightning, LLC. Staff found the use of irrigation water rights and potable water met the requirements of this section. 4. Utility Verification The appellant raised concerns of the property owner's ability to obtain power for the proposed marijuana production building. The Central Electric Cooperative (CEC) provided a "will serve" letter dated January 22, 2018. The letter states that CEC has reviewed the provided load information (two 800 amp Single phase services) associated with the cannabis grow facility and is willing and able to serve this location in accordance with the rates and policies of the company. Staff found the "will serve" letter to be sufficient to meet the requirements of this section. 247-18-000206-A, 207-A Page 5 of 7 TABLE 2: TOPICS AND APPLICABLE CRITERIA Environmental impacts I ( ✓ Hemp production on the same property I I ✓ Lal -F% UI 0,1.1111111CII CIO IU a I rUIL "IG A% Land use action sign not posted properly ✓ Livestock and wildlife impacts ✓ Majority of rural residents voted "no" to legalizing recreational marijuana ✓ Marijuana is a drug `/ Negative impacts on nearby businesses ✓ Overproduction Power usage `/ Property values Safety of the community Stigma of marijuana grow next door ✓ Water consumption CONCLUSION & NEXT STEP Staff respectfully requests that the Board specify if they intend to approve or deny the application and to provide any additional findings for Staff to include in their decision.

I hope you are having a good week. Please find attached the information requested by the Commissioners regarding the appeal hearing for Swamp Fox Farms held on April 11, 2018. Commissioner Henderson requested more information on our odor control system, AgriAir Odor Control. There was some discussion that this product had not been used in past Odor Control Plans. Attachments are as follows - Testimonial _Odor—Adam Kirkwood- this is a testimonial from a grower in Portland regarding the effectiveness of the AgriAir system on odors from animal waste initially present in his rental space. He subsequently purchased AgriAir as his odor control plan for his marijuana business to meet the requirements of his operation. Testimonial _RootsSupply- testimonial on the ability to control and mitigate odor as well as mold. ODOR_ DeschutesCoRockJuniperColeBreitEng.- we made further inquiry with the AgriAir company and they provided this is letter. It is taken from the odor control plan submitted by an approved Deschutes County applicant's file in September 2016. PavelClackCoLetter29SEP16- this letter is from the Pavel Mazac, President of Omnitec. Mr. Mazac speaks to the fact the AgriAir system, created by Omnitec, meets the requirements of odor control as required by state and local governments. He also gives specific details that Commissioner Henderson was inquiring of our Mechanical Engineer, Larry Scharf. AgriAir FAQ 1217- this FAQ sheet was provided by the manufacturer and further discusses the ability to kill odor. In my recent discussions with the manufacturer I was encouraged to have you and/or the the Commissioners contact management of AgriAir for more detail. I will provide their contact info and any more information if desired. After completion of the construction of our facility, we will have the proposed odor and noise systems tested by a third party. We also have purchased an approved sound meter that we will use for weekly testing of the sound levels at our property lines when our equipment is in full operation. Thank you for your time. Curt Rogers Swamp Fox Farm, LLC Lee Property Management, LLC Adam Kirkwood <adam@certifiedpdx.com> Thu 10/6/2016 6:17 AIV( To:reagan@agriairequipment.com <reagan@agriairequipment.com>; Reagan, Thank you for coming by and introducing yourself. We're really looking forward to doing more business with AgriAir. Our own experience with your product began we first toured the space we are now in. The previous grower had apparently lost his license and had financial issues and he simply abandoned the space as is. He had been there for around 10 years, I believe, and was not exactly the tidiest of people. To be more accurate, he was a 3 day horse ride from the outskirts of tidy. He kept dogs as his main security so they were there 24 hours a day and it didn't look like anybody cared where or when they did their business. I could be wrong but it also smelled like there were cats occupying the space as well. After seeing, and smelling, all of this, we were finding it hard to get excited about the space even though it was already built and ready to go. The landlord used the AgriAir system 24 hours a day for probably a month moving units throughout the space. When he finished gutting the space and throwing out everything he couldn't sell, we toured it again. The difference was absolutely amazing! Maybe it was on purpose, but there was one room in the back that he never got to and you can go back in there and immediately witness what the entire space smelled like before. We were completely sold on AgriAir that day. So far we have purchased 2 units and have plans to buy at least 2 more as we get more rooms prepared. Thanks again, Reagan! Adam Kirkwood Co-Founder/CFO Certified Portland www.certifiedpdx.com www.instaaram.com/certifledpdx 503-628-9595 adam@certifiedpdx.com At Certified Portland we believe that the strain is only as good as the breeder. Paying homage to those who craft the fine genetics found in many farms & nurseries around the globe is something that is not done enough, and something that we are passionate about. We strive to grow these incredible genetics as they were meant to be grown, with time and care. "We installed an AgriAir 1000 PG air purifier into a 225 square foot, 10,000 watt sealed room just over 5 months ago. Our initial purpose for this trial was to determine whether or not a room saturated with Hydro -Peroxides would have any mitigating effect on Cannabis terpenoid production. Through a third party laboratory we had plant material analyzed for terpene content. Two samples were submitted. The first sample came from the most recent harvest before the AgriAir was employed. The second sample submitted represented product from the first harvest after the AgriAir had run 24/7 for nine weeks in the flower chamber. The results from Sunrise Analytical confirmed that there was zero terpene loss in the second submission. We were also impressed with the AgriAir's ability to mitigate odors inside and around the exterior of the grow space. As an added bonus: we experienced zero mold build up in our air handler! In this new era of exponentially expanding plant pathogens effecting medical and recreational cannabis, the AgriAir peroxide generators are the answer to insuring that the airborne environment is as sterile as possible." Aichard Crommelffil Manager Roots Garden Supp September 12, 2016 Tyler Hauth Rockchuck & Juniper LLC Dear Tyler: ColeBreit Engineering has reviewed the Hydrogen Peroxide Generator proposed for your facility within Deschutes County. [From the AgriAir website] AgriAir purifiers produce Ionized Hydro -Peroxides through a process called photo -catalytic oxidation, oxidizing gas molecules, by UV energy reacting with a quad metallic shield. The IHP is generated from humidity and 02 in the air without adding any chemicals. The IHP oxidizer plasma is exhausted in the air, where it proactively seeks any types of bio -contaminants to react with. The unused oxidizer plasma reverts back to humidity and oxygen in about 15 minutes, leaving no chemical residues behind. AgriAir purifiers with single 14" generators covers about 8,000 cubic ft. of space. Our units with dual generators can run on Low output and cover 6,000 cubic ft., at Medium 8,000 cubic ft. and at high, 14,000 cubic ft. These are only guidelines and in our experience these units can sanitize areas twice as large. Coverage depends greatly on the type of plants, canopy size, growing medium, and bio -contaminant load. Units can cover multiple cultivation spaces using standard 12" flexible or rigid ducting and Y or Tjunctions. It is important to have good air circulation in the grow space to distribute ionized hydro peroxides across the entire area. We recommend sizing and installing per manufacturer's instructions. Per the manufacturer's representative, each AgriAir model 1000-3(HO) Air Purifier is good for a room volume of up to 20,000 cubic feet. Therefore, for an 8,000 square foot room with 9' ceiling (56,000 cubic feet), (3) Air Purifiers will be required for each room. For a 5,000 square foot room with 18' ceiling (90,000 cubic feet), (5) Air Purifiers will be required for each room. Per the manufacturer, if the odor is neutralized within 2 hours of installing the units, it's a good indication that the units are properly sized for the operation in question. After installation, we recommend having a third party verify that the odor within and exterior to the space has been mitigated in order to ensure the installation has met the intent of the Deschutes County code regarding odor, pursuant to 18.116.330, Section B.10.d.ii (Alternate Method). ColeBreit makes no assurances as to the safety of this device to the cannabis crops. Regards, Laura Breit, P.E. Principal COLEBREIT E N 0 1 N E E R I N 0 Omnitec Design produces AgriAir photo -catalytic air purification equipment which we would like to be considered as a highly effective alternative to the carbon filtration system required for use under current ordinances in indoor cannabis growing facilities in Oregon. The Oregon regulations call for use of a carbon filtration system for removal of odor from the air exhausted to the outside from the grow facility, and creating negative air pressure inside the building to prevent leakage of the odor to the outside. The AgriAir system provides: Elimination of odor inside the facility before it's released to the outside A clean healthy environment for workers in indoor cannabis grow facilities Since there are stringent requirements for marijuana crops to be pure and free of contaminants, our approach is to eliminate odor and purify the air and surfaces inside the grow facilities. AgriAir equipment is able to reduce the odor and VOC levels in an indoor cannabis grow area by 85% and in addition eliminates over 95% of airborne mold, mildew, and pathogens, which are known health risks to workers and the final quality of the product. Since the system already purifies the air inside the entire indoor grow facility, the air exhausted or leaking to the outdoors will meet or exceed your odor regulations for exhausted air. With odor controlled inside the building, the need for negative air pressure is eliminated. A negative air pressurized building will naturally draw in contamination from the outside, such as pollen and pesticides. By eliminating the need for negative air pressure, the amounts of bio -contamination that enter the grow area from the outside are greatly reduced. The AgriAir purifiers utilize photocatalytic oxidation technology which produces a friendly oxidizer plasma consisting of ionized hydro peroxide, super oxides, and hydroxyl ions. This technology has been used for air purification and sanitization of surfaces for over 20 years in hospitals, the food industry, commercial buildings and many other applications. This technology is approved by the United States FDA, FSIS and USDA and is safe for human exposure.

Mukilteo, WA 98275 Frequently Asked Questions How does Agriair purification work? Agriair purifiers produce Ionized Hydro -Peroxides (IHP), oxidizing gas molecules, by UV energy reacting with a quad metallic shield. The IHP is generated from humidity and 02 in the air without adding any chemicals. The IHP oxidizer plasma is exhausted in the air, where it proactively seeks any type of bio -contaminant to destroy. The unused oxidizer plasma reverts back to humidity and oxygen in about 15 minutes, leaving no chemical residues behind. The cycle of IHP oxidizer plasma generation, reaction with contaminants, and breakdown to 02 and humidity is going on 24/7, sanitizing and protecting your plants. Is Ionized Hydro -peroxide safe for plant, animal and human exposure? IONIZED Ionized Hydro -Peroxides occur in nature in levels similar to those HYDRO -PEROXIDE produced by our purifiers, or about 0.03 ppm which is 30 times lower than the OSHA limit. Does an Agriair Purifier alter the quality SUPER of the harvested crop, THC or CBD? OXIDE IONS Based on independent lab reports the harvest retained its normal quality while mold and fungus were eliminated. Independent labs show no loss of cannabinoids, trichomes, taste, or terpenes from the final product. IONIZED HYDROXIDES Does IHP reduce the level of CO2 in the air? The CO2 levels are not affected at all by the IHP oxidizer plasma. How much space does each purifier sanitize? As an example the purifier with a single 14" generator can sanitize and control odor in about 8,000 cubic ft. of space, with 100 plants. The unit with 9" and 14" generators can run on low output and cover 6,000 cubic ft., at medium 8,000 cubic ft. and at high, 14,000 cubic ft. of space with over 175 plants. The purifiers with two 14" generators can effectively sanitize over 16,000 cubic ft. of space with over 200 plants. These are only guidelines and in our experience, these units can sanitize and control odor in considerably larger areas. It is important to have air constantly moving in the grow area to distribute IHP to the entire area. How does installing an Agriair purifier benefit my grow operation and save me money? The Agriair purifier sanitizes the air and surfaces in the grow area, thus greatly reducing the need for fungicides and pesticides to keep plants healthy. It kills pollen, viruses and molds, such as Aspergillum and Botrytis, which can destroy entire crops. IHP also prevents mold from growing on the HVAC system and kills the mold spores in the air. Another benefit of the Agriair purifier is the removal of the odor and VOCs inside the grow area, eliminating the need for a carbon filtration system for the exhausted air. How much service does the Agriair purifier require? Agriair purifiers contain particulate filters, which capture pollen, dust and mold spores and should be replaced when loaded with contaminants. Some Agriair purifiers contain carbon filters, which block any visible light radiating from the unit and don't need to be replaced frequently. The UV light inside the IHP generator cells slowly loses its capacity and after 25,000 hours of operation (over 2.5 years) and should be replaced. All service can be done by an operator in the field. What is the best way to install an Agriair purifier unit? Most Agriair purifiers are portable and easy to set up without ducting and require only a 115 Volt outlet. The units are designed to generate IHP gas which mixes with air circulating inside the grow area. These units should be installed elevated above the floor or hanging from the ceiling. This will assure complete mixing of exhausted peroxides with the air in the grow or processing area. As an optional accessory, the units could be ordered with flexible ducting to direct the Hydro -peroxide rich exhaust to any area desired. Does the Agriair purification process generate Ozone? The Agriair purifier is not an Ozone generating machine. Its purification action utilizes the oxidation process where ionized hydro -peroxides add or remove an oxygen molecule from the organic contaminants, to destroy them. An independent test showed that the Ozone [03] level in the tested area remained unchanged and at very low levels. Where should I use the PHI purifier with HEPA filter? The drying period is a critical time in the grow process, when the cannabis can easily get moldy and contaminated. During this time, we recommend our purifiers with PHI generators to sanitize the entire processing environment and HEPA filters to enhance the process by capturing even sub -micron contaminants. Is the Agriair effective on destroying formaldehyde? Our purifiers effectively eliminate off -gassing of formaldehyde and many other chemical fumes and VOCs. Could I use an Agriair purifier for rapid sanitation of a contaminated area? We recommend sanitizing your grow area thoroughly before each new cycle, followed by setting up the Agriair purifiers, to maintain sanitation of the space 24/7. If use of the purifiers begins in an environment with sick plants containing powdery mildew, for example, the existing mildew will be brought under control and will not spread to healthy plants. Depending on the level of the bio -contamination and the size of the space, multiple units can be used to control highly contaminated areas; increasing the concentration of IHP without harming the plants. While the IHP is considered safe for human exposure, each operator must determine howto maintain a safe and comfortable IHP level while the area is occupied. What are the important factors to consider when choosing Agriair Purifiers for a contained grow environment? • Goals - What are the goals I'm trying to achieve - control of odors, mold, mildew, fungus, microbes? • Size - The total cubic feet of the grow space determines how many Agriair purifiers are required to generate the amount of peroxides needed to purify the whole space. • Distribution of Peroxides - The IHP plasma generated by the purifiers has to be exhausted into air circulating in the grow space. Turbulent airflow through the grow space is necessary to assure an even distribution of peroxides and to achieve complete sanitation of plants and surfaces. How do I know if I have enough concentration of IHP in the air of a contained grow environment? If odors are greatly reduced within one hour, it is a good indication that the IHP level is sufficient for sanitizing the air & surfaces. It is important to watch your plants closely assuring they remain healthy, mold and mildew free, and calibrating the level of hydro -peroxides in your grow space appropriately. The ultimate purpose of the PHI purification process is to have healthy plants without using chemical pesticides and fungicides. Another indication that the purifiers are working is that the HVAC system stays clean of mold or is gradually purified of existing mold after use of Agriair purifiers. How does the Agriair purifier compare with the use of carbon filters? Carbon filters remove odor and VOCs from the air exhausted to the outdoors and create negative pressure inside the building, allowing pollen and other contaminants to leak into the grow area. Also, carbon filters will not sanitize the air and surfaces inside your grow space. Agriair purifiers remove odors inside the grow area, sanitize the air and hard surfaces, prevent growth of mold inside HVAC systems, and create a healthy environment for plants and workers. Our purifiers also enable growers to reduce the use of fungicide and pesticide. While the carbon filter initially costs less to install, the replacement of filter media along with the maintenance of the units makes this system more expensive to operate than Agriair purifiers. Can Agriair purifiers sanitize existing contaminated HVAC systems? Yes, the IHP molecules destroy mold growth in the HVAC system and ducting. This can be done gradually, during the normal air sanitizing process, or rapidly, by sending the Agriair purifier output directly into the intake of the HVAC unit. Are Agriair purifiers effective in greenhouses? Agriair purifiers provide multiple functions in greenhouse applications to keep the plants and the environment healthy including the following: • They purify incoming outside air by deactivating pollen, mold spores, virus and bacteria. • Kill mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria generated inside the green house. • Reduce or eliminate odor from the air before it is exhausted to the outside. How much hydro -peroxide is required to provide complete sanitation and control odors in the green house? There are many variations of greenhouse construction and methods of growing crops. Also variations in the climate from hot, wet, dry, cold and seasonal changes in the environment need to be considered. Agriair purifiers generate strong peroxide molecules which are exhausted and mixed into the surrounding turbulent air where they pro -actively seek and destroy bio -contaminants. These peroxides are active for about 15 minutes, during which time they either react with bio -contaminants or convert back to 02 and humidity. Each Agriair purifier, depending on the number and size of its IHP generators, can release enough peroxides to purify from 3,000 to 16,000 cubic feet of air. Depending on the size, its operation and required level of purification, multiple units can be installed throughout the greenhouse to maintain an elevated level of ionized -hydro -peroxide in the air to continuously destroy bio -contaminants. Our modular approach using Agriair purification units provides maximum flexibility to respond to changing conditions inside and outside the greenhouse. What are the important factors to consider when choosing Agriair Purifiers in my greenhouse? • Goals - What are the goals I'm trying to achieve - control of odors, mold, mildew, fungus? • Size - The total cubic feet of the greenhouse determines how many Agriair purifiers are required to generate the amount of peroxides needed to purify the whole space. • Air Flow - The number of air changes per hour inside the greenhouse has to be considered when calculating the number of purifiers required. • Distribution of Peroxides - A turbulent airflow through the greenhouse is necessary to assure an even distribution of peroxides through the whole space to achieve a complete sanitation. for further information please visit us at t Attachment D — Appellant's Comments This page intentionally left blank.

I did review the CEA Consulting Engineer's letter from October 26, 2017. As I understand it, that is the letter that the applicants are relying on. This letter woefully inadequate. 1. Odor. The letter describes a potential system which, in theory, addresses odor issues, but there has been no demonstration of that odor control in a report. At the prompting of the planning department, it only includes a conclusionary opinion that an odor control system would control odor. That conclusionary opinion does not even give a definitive statement that that system as described in the letter would be used. It is prefaced by the statement "if the system is selected and constructed within the guidelines described above and if the system is maintained per the filter and manufacturers recommendation." This is not a demonstration of a site specific system that is going to be effective in terms of odor control. It is only a description of a theoretical system coupled with a conclusionary opinion. If the code called for an opinion, that might pass muster. The code, however, requires a report that demonstrates the site specific system for the operation to work to control odor. 2. Noise. This same malady is evident in the noise control analysis. The noise control analysis indicates that the largest units of the HVAC system would operate within a db 41 at the property line. This, of course, exceeds the limitations imposed by the code. There are more than one of these largest units and there is no analysis as to whether or not the combination of these units, even with any type of sound attenuation law, would sufficiently control the sound to a decibel level of 30 at the property line. 210 S W 5``1 Street, Suite 2 j Redmond OR 97756 Phone: 541.3 16. 1588 Fax: 541.3 16.1943 Fthen) Law Group, PC Page 2 "(:oninu�tccl rnIxtellc:nic" 3. Water. This application as does others suffers again this same problem of having water delivered to the property which lies northeast of Redmond from the quasi -municipal water provider located in Bend. Avon Water has a site specific system. The allowable use for quasi -municipal water is defined under the Oregon Administrative Rules if you combine those ordinary and normal uses within their water delivery system including irrigation (see enclosed). That irrigation, however, is limited to the same extent exempt uses for domestic water wells is limited. That is, quasi -municipal, municipal water or exempt water from a domestic well can only be used to irrigate lawns and gardens. It cannot be used for agricultural purposes. Even the circular from the Water Resources Department, a copy of which is enclosed, evidences allowable use and prohibits the use of exempt water for agricultural production. The definition of the allowable uses for municipal water and quasi -municipal water and exempt water are all the same. That is, it cannot be used for agricultural production. For the reasons stated above, this application must be denied. Very truly yours, EDWARD P.

From: Liz Russell To: Isabella Liu; Tammy Banev; Tony DeBone; Phil Henderson Subject: 4725 NE Oneil Way, proposed marijuana production site Date: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 2:39:05 PM My family and I moved to the Terrebonne area three years ago because we wanted some land, we liked the area and we really loved that our neighbors were good ranching and farming families. In the three years that we have lived here we have found this area and community to be so welcoming and feel so fortunate to feel safe because we know we are surrounded by good honest people. It is a great area to raise a family and I love knowing that my children are safe here. We also love that we are close to Smith Rock, Terrebonne and fun family tourist places like the two pumpkin patches and the alpaca ranch. Hearing that someone wants to put a marijuana grow into this small rural community is very upsetting to me. This is not an area or a community that is welcoming or conducive to drugs. I know I speak for my family and a majority of our neighbors, that we feel that despite the fact that marijuana is legal, it is a drug and it is something we want kept out of our area. There is no room for marijuana in our community. We don't welcome people using it around here and we definitely don't welcome people growing it because they are encouraging the users. It's been shown time and time again that marijuana is a gateway drug and the type of people who grow and use marijuana are not the type of people I want anywhere near my home or my family. This is a very safe community. Farmers, ranchers, families and people who love the beauty of smith rock and this area live and work here. This a community where people don't have to lock their doors and for the most part we don't worry about crime. Sure there are the occasional occurrences but they're rare. Addicts will do just about anything to get drugs, whether that means stealing, breaking in or just hanging around the property. I don't want that type of place in our safe community because it will eventually attract people who will do anything to get their drugs. This is also a tourist community. Smith Rock brings in so many people each year which boost our local economy. The two pumpkin patches are overflowing with families during the fall season each year and there are many other small local businesses as well. I feel that this marijuana grow would have a negative impact on those businesses. I know I try my very best to stay away from the local dispensaries in Central Oregon which means I've taken business elsewhere from places that are next to a dispensary. If this grow is approved there will be people like myself who will take their business elsewhere. I know many people who have avoided buying property in the alfalfa area because of the marijuana grows there. It's an area that unfortunately isn't appealing to families, farmers or average people anymore. The Terrebonne area has great property values and they continue to rise. It would be very unfortunate if Terrebonne's real estate market was impacted in the way that Alfalfa's has been. It is very disappointing to me to even learn that someone would want to bring a marijuana grow to our little community. It's also disappointing that this person purchased the property and then applied as if expecting to be approved. What will they do if they are denied? Will it be their residence? Will they sell it? If they are approved, how many more of these production sites will also be approved? Will it become what Terrebonne is known for much like what has happened in Alfalfa? Would you like to live down the road from a marijuana grow? Would you like to worry about what type of people will start frequenting the area that you live? Drugs are big money and from what I've observed they bring a lot of problems and a lot of crime. We don't need either of those in our community. We ask that you consider the families who live here, the farmers and ranchers who have been here for decades, the local businesses and little community when you make your decision. Sincerely, Liz Russell From: Zach Russell To: Isabella Liu Cc: Tammy Banev; Tony DeBone; Phil Henderson Subject: proposed marijuana production site on 4725 NE ONeil Way Date: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 6:44:37 AM Commissioners, Please take the time and think for the moment of LAW versus ETHICS. I understand our laws have allowed these marijuana grows in our community. And I understand you are faced with making decisions on what is allowed to exist within our community based on law. But my question to you all is... "As a county commissioner, at what point can your morale compass justify a decision based on concerns for the safety of our community?" Personally, I am against the drug. I don't like the drug. I believe it is the "introduction drug" into the nasty drug world. There are studies to prove it. And we all have friends or family that we try to help because they have fallen into the drug swamp. It is such a gray area in society because its legal in our state, but is illegal at the federal level. Explain that to a kid... and we wonder why society sucks. I have been in Central Oregon my whole life. I work hard, I play hard, and I am a family man. We love this place we call HOME. I am raising children out here in this community, the setting in which I have always dreamed for my kids to grow up. And now my wife and I are faced with the fact of living next to a marijuana grow! It sucks. It sucks that we even have the fight. I will do my best to educate my children on the demons of drugs. And do my best to explain to them that the neighbors that grow marijuana might be good people (if this gets approved), but stay away from them because it's against our ethical beliefs. My family does not want a marijuana grow down the street from our home. I do not know what your personal belief is on this issue. If you are against marijuana grows, please fmd your morale compass to guide you in your decisions you make for our community. Respectfully, Zach Russell This page intentionally left blank.

From: Curt Roaers To: Isabella Liu Cc: Jeremy Dickman; Jennifer Clifton Subject: Response Letter To Appeal Hearing Date: Thursday, April 19, 2018 8:43:35 AM Attachments: Swamp Fox Farm Appeal Hearing Response.pdf Izze, Good morning. Please find attached a letter which I felt compelled to send to wrap up our final thoughts on the hearing last week. I hope that the Commissioners will be able to view it. There are many emotions going around the marijuana issues in both Deschutes County and the rest of the US. Mr. Henderson asked if I had ever been in the marijuana business, which I answered truthfully- I have not. I am coming into the industry as a registered Republican - business person, not someone who has been hiding in the shadows working illegally. Isn't this a better background for a potential licensee in Deschutes County giving the distrust towards the industry? Anyway if it can be forwarded great, if not I still want it out there. Thanks so much and have a great weekend! Curt Rogers Phone 843.296.7438 Fax 866.599.2585 April 19, 2018 Izze Liu Deschutes County Community Development 117 NW Lafayette Avenue Bend, OR 97701 Izze, Thank you for the time you have spent in dealing with our application. I have worked with local governments in different capacities throughout my professional career. It is my opinion you represented yourself, your department and Deschutes County with an uncommonly high level of professionalism and unbiased focus on facts and details. I wanted to also take the time during the final phase of our application to make a few points that I hope will go on the record in response to our hearing last week. Our actions and words are respectful of others- The representation we had for our side of the argument made their points in an orderly and professional manner. This is what I requested and expected. We did not interrupt the Commissioners or those who fell on the other side of the discussion. From the beginning we have respected the requirements and procedures we were asked to follow, in the same way we will respect the laws and conditions as a licensee if we are granted approval to move forward. Lawsuit Pending- Mrs. Sanders and her daughter have since the day they received the NOA, refused to talk with me regarding what occurred in the only meeting we had in October. As I said in a letter to you on December 18, 2017 and again was quoted in the Bend Bulletin on January 30, 2o18, I am sorry Mrs. Sanders felt she was misled. It was not my intention. Why would I mislead her when obviously it was going to be public knowledge what I was doing? Also on both of these documented pieces I made it clear that I would drop the easement since she felt she was wronged. I did not and have not, as I have been accused of since November 9, 2017, act in a way that was fraudulent or abusive. Mrs. Sanders and her daughter, represented by Mr. Fitch, felt it necessary to file a lawsuit seeking damages of $1o,000 and the removal of electrical services to my property, even after we made it clear that the easement would be withdrawn. I believe the lawsuit is frivolous and is an attempt to damage my reputation and blackmail me into dropping my legal and compliant business. We have attempted to settle the case, but the attempt was denied because I would not voice or pen an admission of fraud or guilt. The refusal to work through this admission of guilt is a continuing attempt to pirate my family's future in Oregon. Mrs. Sanders and her daughter have also named CEC and the past owner of the property in this lawsuit. The previous owner has nothing to do with what we are doing on his property. We paid him his asking price and he is moving on with his life as he should be able to. He has no involvement in our business as the Sanders have claimed in one of the many arguments against Swamp Fox Farm. Electrical Power is available- CEC has issued a will serve letter for (2) 800 AMP services that I am told will have no impact on Mrs. Sanders and her daughter's property. We adjusted our plans and significantly increased the cost of our start-up by using LED lighting to reduce our power needs so we would not upset these neighbors. The service will run from our shared property line to my buildings on power poles that have exisited since 1941 as evidenced by this photo taken last week after our hearing. CEC has informed me that they will not have to access Mrs. Sanders' property to increase our power from 200 AMP service to (2) 800 AMP services. Appellant No Show- After our hearing, I reached out to one of the other appellants who filed a letter with the county. We had met with them a few weeks after they filed the appeal. They met my family and we all discussed our plans for the property and how we will operate as good neighbors. I asked why they had not shown for the hearing and was told that, because they felt we were going to be good neighbors who respected others' property rights, they did not believe it was necessary to speak at the hearing. In closing Izze, please move forward with our application. We are not bad people and we want relocate to Oregon to be good law abiding citizens. If we need to meter our residential well, we will do it. If we need to have monthly inspections, we will do it. We are coming to Oregon to be the same good citizens we are here. We love the area and the people. We respect others and their property. We are just like most anyone else in Oregon. When operating as a legal entity and following the rules, we don't like to be told what we can and can't do because someone wants to force their differing opinions. This could have been handled differently, but others malicious attempts to intimidate me and my family, and the seller who is an uninvolved party, have forced our hand to defend ourselves. We respect our neighbors and the laws that make a community safe and one that we want to raise our family in. Curt Rogers Lee Property Management, LLC Swamp Fox Farm, LLC CEA CONSUMNG E N GNI` E` IRS April 9, 2018 Lee Property Management Attn: Curt Rogers Re: 4725 Oneil Way Sound Measurements Dear Curt: 5(),6 iii .. ST RI, E , SUITr BENI.), OREGON 97701 We visited your property on Friday April 6th at 3:30pm to conduct sound measurements at your property lines. The following information summarizes our findings. Ambient Conditions • Periodic traffic on State Route 370 (Oneil Highway) which borders your south property line. • Per Redmond Airport readings the winds were 8mph with 20 mph max and 25 mph gusts. • There was no machinery or other sound producing events that were noticed during our visit. Sound Measurements Measurements averaged over approximately one minute or the minimum reading during an event. 1. West Property Line a. 42 dbA, no traffic and light winds b. 50 dbA, car traffic and light winds c. 55 dba, truck traffic and light winds 2. North Property Line a. 42 dbA, no traffic and light winds b. 52 dbA, no traffic and moderate winds c. 62 dbA, truck traffic and moderate winds 3. East Property Line — Bounded by canal berm a. 40dba, no traffic and light winds b. 50dbA, car traffic and light winds 4. South Property Line adjacent to Highway a. 70dbA, car traffic, moderate winds b. 80dbA, truck traffic, moderate winds Summary The readings above show that in the absence of other events, the 2 main influences are highway traffic and the wind with its effects on trees and other obstructions. The property line you share with your neighbor to the north is approximately 1350 feet from the highway. The residence of your neighbor to C Ix: A CONSULPING I ST BEND, OREGON 97701 the west is approximately 1050 feet from the highway at the closest point. Both locations will be affected by traffic on the highway. We can see that this can be as much as 60dbA with truck traffic and moderate winds. To have a chance to reach 30db, it appears it would take a totally calm day with no highway traffic. 1.
