Drug lab properties
Under the Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Act (W. Va. Code 60A-11) and rule 64CSR92, only state-licensed remediation contractors and technicians may do this work. After police notice, the owner must keep a residential property vacant and have it remediated to 1.0 microgram per 100 square cm. The contractor files plans and reports, and the state certifies completion.
