Are there any federal laws about meth-contaminated properties?
While there are no overarching federal laws mandating meth testing or remediation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides **voluntary** cleanup guidelines that many states adopt or build upon.

Ultimately, meth contamination laws are largely governed at the **state or local** level, so its essential to consult those agencies for specific legal responsibilities. That said, federal oversight may increase as awareness of contamination-related health impacts continues to grow.
