Short description and topics:

EPA has issued a document providing state and local governments technical guidance for methamphetamine 
lab 
cleanups. The document is based on an extensive review of the 
best available science and practices for cleanup. Other issues 
included are best practices for specific items or materials, 
sampling procedures, and technical resources. The 
Methamphetamine Remediation Research Act of 2007 required EPA to 
develop these guidelines, based on the best currently available 
knowledge in the field of meth lab remediation. EPA reviewed 
state guidance and regulations to develop these voluntary 
guidelines. In addition, this document has received extensive 
review and refinement from a broad array of stakeholders as well 
as feedback from nationally recognized experts in meth lab 
remediation
