Meth Contamination

The production and use of methamphetamines decreased dramatically over the past decade; however, contamination from meth has resulted in many quarantined properties and vehicles across the state. To see if your property is quarantined, review the Registry of Methamphetamine Contaminated Properties (updates monthly)

To protect the health of Tennessee citizens, the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) Division of Remediation (DOR) has developed rules to address remediating and testing meth contaminated properties:

To get a property removed from the quarantined list, there are steps you will need to follow. First, you need to retain an individual certified to test (a Certified CML Specialist). Second, you will need a someone to  decontaminate (Authorized Contractors) methamphetamine contaminated properties. A Certified Industrial Hygienist is certified by rule to perform both services. 

After the property has been decontaminated, there are additional requirements to get property released from quarantine.
