Joyce Townsend, of Broomfield, stands outside what was
once her rental property on Evergreen Street in
Broomfield. The house had been used as a meth lab.
Townsend could not afford to pay $30,000 in cleanup

Chico couple that got AB 1078 passed (unfortuneatly
meth labs busted prior to 2006 were not always
red-tagged, nor was there a lien put on them so that
their former meth lab status and possible hazmat
condition is not readily available to a homebuyer)
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=local&id=3625011article below is incorrect-note that DEA's list of
meth lab busts is NOT inclusive, my home is NOT on
their list
http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/seizures/california.htmlit is here, but this database was not viewable with my
mac computer, nor is is pulled up if I do a google
search for my address (which I did before I purchased
my home)

great (NOT) dump "cleaned up" former meth lab homes
that may have lingering soil toxicity issues on low
income buyers and renters

With potential contamination from carcinogens and
explosive chemicals, to most people, a former
methamphetamine lab would sound like a less than
desirable real estate venture.
great investigative journalism!!

this one seems more like an advertisement for their
product-remember unless one tests directly where the
contamination is, a "dirty" house may pass the test,
but still has good info

because my son unknowingly bought one in TN in 2004.
However, his story is the story of thousands of people
across the U.S. And I truly feel that it is a problem
that needs to be addressed at a federal level.
