If you receive a notice of removal, you should not remove any furniture, appliances, or personal belongings from the premises until they have been tested for contamination and found to be clean. Otherwise, you may spread the contamination and expose others to health risks, as well as making the scope and cost of any required cleanup greater than it already is.
The next step is to contact one of the certified Clandestine Laboratory Remediation Contractors to have the property assessed for any remaining meth contamination. If meth contamination is found (> 0.05 µg/100cm²), the contaminated areas must be cleaned up in accordance with the Clandestine Laboratory Remediation Cleanup Standards. A certified Clandestine Laboratory Remediation Contractor must perform this work. Upon completion of the cleanup, the Contractor will sample the property again, then prepare, and submit a final report to DEQ. Upon approval of the final cleanup report, DEQ will prepare a letter of No Further Action and provide it to the property owner, his or her cleanup contractor, and the local law enforcement agency, and remove the property from the List of Contaminated Properties pursuant to the provisions of A.C.A. 8-7-1404 and 8-7-1406(b).
