Meth Lab Cleanup Ordinance
Adopted
2007, Boulder County — The Boulder
County Commissioners adopted an ordinance
that will help ensure the public is not unnecessarily exposed
to methamphetamine (meth) labs. Meth labs pose significant
risks to public health. This ordinance is also intended to
ensure that the cleanup of such labs meet existing public health
standards.
