Authorizing, and Implemented or Interpreted Law: 19-6-906Utah Admin. Code R392-600-8 formally incorporates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 Superfund Preliminary Remediation Goals Table (October 2004) into Utah's methamphetamine decontamination rules. By incorporating this federal table by reference, the state establishes that the cleanup benchmarks listed in that EPA document carry the same regulatory weight as the written text of the rule itself. This provision connects Utah's illegal drug operation remediation standards to a specific, dated federal scientific reference point.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under R392-600-8, property owners dealing with a property that has been identified as a former illegal drug operation site — particularly one involving methamphetamine — should be aware that Utah's decontamination standards are tied to the EPA Region 9 Superfund Preliminary Remediation Goals Table from October 2004. Compliant operators typically ensure that any remediation contractor they hire is familiar with this incorporated reference and uses it to guide cleanup threshold decisions. Keeping documentation that remediation work met those benchmarks is a practice generally associated with demonstrating compliance under this rule.

R392-600-8 establishes that the scientific cleanup standards for methamphetamine-contaminated properties in Utah are grounded in the EPA Region 9 Superfund Preliminary Remediation Goals Table, giving tenants a concrete regulatory baseline to reference when questions arise about whether a unit has been properly decontaminated. Tenants who have concerns about whether a rental property was adequately remediated after illegal drug activity may look to this provision as part of the broader R392-600 framework governing decontamination. General enforcement paths can include contacting local health departments or consulting a tenant-rights organization to understand how these standards apply to a particular situation.
