Cleanup of my property is too expensive… Can I simply tear it down or burn it down to get it removed from the list of contaminated properties?

Properties deemed too cost prohibitive to clean up may be razed. A certified Clandestine Laboratory Remediation Contractor still must be used to process the required paperwork confirming the appropriate handling of all the demolition debris. Demolition by burning may entail the additional approval of local fire authorities, code enforcement agencies, and the DEQ Office of Air Quality.
