Meth-lab cleanup funds dwindling in WashingtonEVERETT, Washington — A lack of funding could force the Snohomish Health District to abandon its meth-lab cleanup program despite state mandates to investigate such sites for toxicity.
The health district, which responded to 70 methamphetamine labs last year, expects to deplete its two-year state funding allotment of $70,000 by mid-February, barely six months after receiving the money. Washington state's fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.
Eliminating such a program makes it virtually impossible to know whether any Snohomish County, Washington property was used in methamphetamine production, a member of the Snohomish County, Washington Drug Task Force said yesterday. Meth labs leave behind toxic chemical residues that over the long term can cause cancer, health officials say.
Bob Pekich, the district's environmental-health director, who oversees the program, on Monday will recommend to Board of Health members that the program be all but eliminated.
The district spends most of its cleanup money determining the extent of contamination in residences, cars, hotel rooms and storage facilities that have been used to make meth. Under the state mandate, the health district also must keep a list of contaminated properties and make sure they are not used again until they have been cleaned to state health standards.
The health district has disregarded this portion of the law because there hasn't been enough funding.
"I've always said when we're out of money, we're out of the business," Pekich said yesterday. "We can't withdraw completely because of the state mandates, but we'll be totally ineffective."
The Washington state Department of Ecology gave the health district $70,000 for the 2003-04 biennium, though the district had asked for $200,000. The previous biennium, the Department of Ecology granted the district $70,000 but later boosted the allocation to $120,000. State officials say there is no extra money this time around despite a 52 percent increase in the county's meth-lab responses.
"We've been a very aggressive program in the past," Pekich said. "But now, you'll have people moving in and out of contaminated properties."
The Board of Health, made up of elected city and county officials, could decide to fund the program with the district's reserve funds, Pekich said. But much of that money already has been pledged to smallpox, bioterrorism and West Nile virus programs.
Other health districts across Washington say they're not in similar budget trouble, but many receive money from other sources.
"We get funding from Pierce County, Washington and the Department of Ecology," said Steve Marek, a public-health manager at the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. "We also aren't seeing a decrease in state funds."
Funds are distributed by the workload. Pierce County, Washington which responded to 438 meth labs in 2002, received about $245,000 in state money for 2003 and 2004.
