DEP Orders Trulieve to Address Jefferson County Runoff

DEP action

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has ordered Trulieve to address wastewater runoff at the company’s Jefferson County facility. The action involves a state environmental agency and a business operating in Jefferson County.

The order identifies wastewater runoff as the issue requiring attention. It does not, in the information available here, establish the amount of runoff, describe its effect, or state whether any penalty was imposed.

What the order means

A DEP order directs Trulieve to respond to the runoff issue at the facility. The order’s specific corrective measures, deadlines and compliance requirements are not stated here.

The action does not by itself resolve the issue. Trulieve’s response and DEP’s follow-up will show how the matter proceeds.

Jefferson County context

The facility is located in Jefferson County, making the action a local environmental matter. Wastewater runoff can affect how water moves away from a site, but the facts here do not describe the runoff’s path, contents or effect on nearby property or waterways.

Residents seeking details about the agency’s action can review the Tallahassee Reports coverage linked below and any DEP record identified there.

What happens next

The next steps are the corrective actions Trulieve takes and the state agency’s review of whether the company addresses the runoff. The order’s timeline and any later DEP action will determine how the matter develops.
