Methamphetamine has become the drug of choice in Larimer County in recent years. With the increased use of this dangerous drug comes the additional dangers associated with manufacturing methamphetamine. The process for cooking methamphetamine is very simple, and it can be done almost anywhere. We are finding labs in houses, garages, vehicles, motel rooms, and storage lockers.
The chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine are themselves very volatile, and the cooking process contaminates the area with toxic chemicals. These hazardous compounds soak into the walls and carpets, creating unsafe living conditions. Individuals exposed to these hazardous materials frequently develop significant health problems.
In 2006 the Colorado State Legislature passed a law that requires property owners to disclose to potential buyers when an illegal drug lab has been found on their property. The law also gives a prospective buyer the right to have the property tested for contaminants from a illegal drug lab. In the interest of public health and safety, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office will be posting the addresses where illegal drug labs were found in unincorporated Larimer County and all the cities within Larimer County, from July 2004 to present.
The list does not imply that anyone associated with the address was charged or convicted of any offense, or that the property is in fact contaminated. Since fewer than 10% of methamphetamine labs are ever located, the reader should not rely solely on this list in determining whether or not a property may be contaminated.
For our purposes, “drug lab” is defined as any area where controlled substances as defined in C.R.S. 18-18-102 have been manufactured, processed, cooked, disposed of, or stored and all proximate areas that are likely to be contaminated as a result of such manufacturing, process, cooking, disposing or storing.
Upon proof that the property owner has met the cleanup standards established by the Colorado Board of Health as evidenced by a test performed by a industrial hygienist, the property will be removed from this list.
