25400.10
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
(1) Methamphetamine use and production are growing throughout the
state. Properties may be contaminated by hazardous chemicals used or
produced in the manufacture of methamphetamine where those chemicals
remain and where the contamination has not been remediated.
(2) Initial cleanup actions may be limited to the removal of bulk
hazardous materials and associated glassware that pose an immediate
threat to public health and the environment. Where methamphetamine
production has occurred, significant levels of contamination may be
found throughout residential properties if the contamination is not
remediated.
(3) Once methamphetamine laboratories have been closed, the public
may be harmed by the materials and residues that remain.
(4) There is no statewide standardization of standards for
determining when a site of a closed methamphetamine laboratory has
been successfully remediated.
(b) This chapter shall be known, and may be cited as, the
"Methamphetamine Contaminated Property Cleanup Act of 2005."
