Section 6 CCR 1014-3-1-7.0 - Cleanup standards

The following cleanup standards shall be used to determine if a subject property has been adequately decontaminated. They may also be used during the preliminary assessment to demonstrate that a subject property, or portion of a subject property, is not contaminated. All subject properties must meet the cleanup standard for methamphetamine.

7.1 The methamphetamine concentration of any sample shall not exceed 0.5 µg /100 cm2, except as provided in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 below.
7.1.1 Methamphetamine concentrations of samples taken from limited exposure areas shall not exceed 4 µg /100 cm2.
7.1.2 Methamphetamine concentrations of discrete or composite surface wipe samples taken from painted-over surfaces in accordance with Section 6.2.15 of this Part 1 shall not exceed 1.5 µg /100 cm2.
7.1.2.1 After all painted-over surfaces (as defined in Section 2 of this Part 1) have been decontaminated in accordance with Section 5 above, and the area meets the cleanup standard specified in this Section 7, the painted-over surfaces shall be encapsulated in accordance with Section 5.5.1 . Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall be construed to allow painting or encapsulation of surfaces that do not meet the cleanup standards in Section 7.1 at the time of discovery of a methamphetamine-affected property.
7.2 If there is evidence of iodine contamination on materials or surfaces that will not be removed, surface wipe samples for iodine shall not exceed a concentration of 22 µg/100 cm2.
7.3 If the preliminary assessment indicates the phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) method of methamphetamine manufacturing was used, surface wipe samples for lead shall not exceed a concentration of 40 µg /ft2, and vapor samples for mercury shall not exceed a concentration of 1.0 µg /m3.
7.4 In all buildings, if clearance-level sampling has been conducted and the results demonstrate that one or more rooms meet the cleanup standard in Section 7 of this Part 1, the rooms that meet the standard do not need to be decontaminated, provided that they are isolated from the remainder of the building in a manner that will prevent cross-contamination from decontamination activities elsewhere in the building.
7.5 If the composite sample result from a room is below the standard in this Section 7, personal property in the room is considered compliant if, in the Consultant's judgment, the personal property is unlikely to have been contaminated from exposure elsewhere in the subject property, given the nature of the item, the time the item was introduced to the subject property (if known), and any other relevant factors or information.
