State guide
Hawaii
Hawaii has a formal state meth-lab cleanup program run by the Department of Health’s HEER Office under Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules Chapter 11-452. The official guidance sets a post-cleanup methamphetamine wipe standard and requires HEER review and approval of contractor work plans before field work starts.
