State guide
South Dakota
South Dakota has a dedicated official meth-lab cleanup page, but the state says it does not have cleanup standards for debris generated or removed from methamphetamine- or fentanyl-impacted surfaces. Instead of certifying contractors, DANR publishes a service list of companies that say they perform meth-lab remediation or testing in South Dakota.
