(A) Law enforcement authorities that identify conditions associated with a clandestine drug lab site that may place the public or occupants at risk for exposure to harmful contaminants and other associated conditions may:
(1) Promptly notify the appropriate municipal, child protection, and public health authority, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, and the site owner about the site and the conditions found;
(2) Treat, store, transport, or dispose of all waste generated from the clandestine drug lab operation and found at the site in a manner consistent with the State Department of Health and State Pollution Control Agency regulations;
(3) The appropriate county would issue a temporary declaration of public health nuisance for the affected site and post a copy of the declaration on all doorway entrances to the site or, in the case of bare land, in several conspicuous places on the property. This temporary declaration will expire after the city inspects the site and determines the appropriateness of issuing a permanent declaration of public heath nuisance;
(4) Notify all people occupying the site that a temporary declaration of public health nuisance has been issued;
(5) Require all people occupying the site to immediately vacate the site, remove all pets from the site, and not return without written authorization from the city;
(6) Notify the occupants vacating the site that the personal property at the site may be contaminated with dangerous chemical residue; and
(7) Put locks on each doorway entrance to the site to prohibit people from entering the site without authorization.
(B) The notification of the people and organizations mentioned above may be delayed to accomplish appropriate law enforcement objectives.
