<br />6, This special condition facilitates compliance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
<br />relating to clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations, including the identification, seizure, or closure of
<br />clandestine methamphetamine laboratories [hereinafter, "meth lab operations"], No monies from this award may be
<br />obligated to support meth lab operations unless the grantee implements this special condition.
<br />
<br />The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), in consultation with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Drug Enforcement
<br />Administration, and the Office for Community Oriented Policing Services, prepared a Program-level Environmental
<br />Assessment (Assessment) governing meth lab operations. The Assessment describes the adverse environmental,
<br />health, and safety impacts likely to be encountered by law enforcement agencies as they implement specific actions
<br />under their methamphetamine laboratory operations. Consistent with the Assessment, the following terms and
<br />conditions shall apply to the grantee for any OJP funded methlab operations:
<br />
<br />A, The grantee shall ensure compliance by OJP funded sub-grantees with federal, state, and local environmental,
<br />health, and safety laws and regulations applicable to meth lab operations, to include the disposal of the chemicals,
<br />equipment, and wastes resulting from those operations.
<br />
<br />B. The grantee shall have a Mitigation Plan in place that identifies and documents the processes and points of
<br />accountability within its state. This plan will be used to ensure that the adverse environmental, health, and safety
<br />impacts delineated in the Assessment are mitigated in a manner consistent with the requirements of this condition,
<br />
<br />C. The grantee shall monitor OJP funded meth lab operations to ensure that they comply with the following nine
<br />mitigation measures identified in the Assessment and whose implementation is addressed in the grantee's Mitigation

<br />at and around the site of a closed clandestine laboratory and (ii) coordinate with the responsible party, property owner,
<br />or others to ensure that any residual contamination is remediated, if determined necessary by the state environmental
<br />agency and in accordance with existing state and federal requirements; and
