The Clandestine Drug Lab Program:
Why we do it The majority of clandestine drug labs manufacture methamphetamine. These labs are set up in motels, houses, apartments, storage units, and vehicles. Hazardous chemicals are used that can contaminate structural materials, furnishings, wastewater systems, and soils. The Washington State Department of Ecology responds by removing bulk chemicals and equipment. Local health jurisdictions assess properties to determine the degree and extent of contamination of methamphetamine and chemical residues and biohazards such as hypodermic needles, feces, and blood. Proper decontamination is necessary to reduce the public health risks of injuries and hazardous exposures associated with clandestine drug labs.
How we do it The Program sponsors a comprehensive training course to certify workers and supervisors in the remediation of contaminated properties. The course covers property assessment, decontamination techniques, work plan development, and environmental sampling.
Program staff consults with local health jurisdictions on regulations and decontamination procedures. Staff conducts presentations on identification, prevention, and decontamination of drug labs.
