Recently a Utah administrative rule was put into action regarding the clean-up and decontamination of illegal drug operations. An administrative rule serves two purposes. First, a properly enacted administrative rule has the binding effect of law. Therefore, a rule affects our lives as much as a statute passed by the legislature. Second, an administrative rule is a messenger of sorts. It informs citizens of actions a state government agency will take or how a state agency will conduct its business. It provides citizens the opportunity to respond--whether by providing public comment, or becoming involved in some other way.
The property owner is responsible for cleaning up the property and for all injuries resulting from contamination left on site, therefore a proper cleaning is essential. These guidelines have been established to assist the property owner in cleaning-up the former meth lab, which will ensure the safety of their property and future tenants.
