Meth

 

WHAT'S LEFT BEHIND?

Just because law enforcement has removed the bulk chemicals, does not mean there are no hazards left behind!

West Virginia passed regulations concerning the cleaning of former METHAMPHETAMINE Laboratories on April 2, 2008.  Title 64CSR92 Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation regulates and addresses the steps necessary to remediate a structure after is has be identified as a Clandestine Drug Laboratory by law enforcement officials.  Kanawha County Commission passed an ordinance prior to the state regulations which should be the basis for all counties to adopt. 

The residue left behind after a clandestine laboratory has been busted is as dangerous as the chemicals used to manufacture the drug or the drugs themselves.

Astar Abatement, Inc. (ASTAR) is headquartered near Charleston, West Virginia.  This strategic  location, at the confluence of 3 major Interstates, allowing us to provide reliable, quick and efficient services to our clients.  In addition, our branch office in Fayetteville, North Carolina allows us to provide key services to southeastern North Carolina.

Methamphetamine Labs are hazardous illicit labs producing more than just an illegal drug.  These labs produce environmental catastrophes, including but not limited to hazardous waste, gases and vapors that settle in and around the lab site.  Those encountering such labs can become ill from the exposure and possibly even DIE. 

Astar can perform a site assessment to inform the property owner, landlord, renter or purchaser of the potential hazards and contamination that resides at the site.  And if necessary, Astar can clean the area so that it can be reoccupied without the potential health problems associated with exposure to the contaminates.  Astar is one of only two contractors operating out of West Virginia that has been licensed by the State to perform the remediation and testing procedures.

CALL US!  We can help.  We can assist you in establishing guidelines for city or governmental agencies, perform testing, assessments, and residual cleaning necessary to mitigate your liability.
