According to NCLSS, methamphetamine laboratory seizures were reported in 46 states in ; more laboratory seizures were reported in the Midwest Region 3, than in the Southeast 2, , Southwest 1, , Pacific 1, , West , or Northeast Regions NCLSS data further show that there has been a steady increase in the number of reported laboratory seizures since see Figure 10 and that reported seizures increased in eastern states but decreased in many western states.
From to the number of reported methamphetamine laboratory seizures increased in the Southeast 1, to 2, , Midwest 2, to 3, , and Northeast Regions 94 to , but declined in the Pacific 1, to 1, and West Regions 1, to Figure Methamphetamine laboratory seizures, number reported, To Top To Contents. Reported seizures of high capacity superlabs, those capable of producing 10 or more pounds of methamphetamine per production cycle, have decreased, likely contributing to the decline in total methamphetamine laboratory seizures in western states.
NCLSS data show that reported seizures of superlabs decreased sharply from in , to in , and in Despite declines in reported laboratory seizures in the Pacific, most seizures of superlabs still occur in that region, particularly in California. Of the reported superlab seizures in , were reported in California. Law enforcement reporting and laboratory seizure data indicate that most superlabs in California are controlled by California- and Mexico-based criminal groups and are located in southern and central California.
HIDTA reporting indicates that Mexican criminal groups, some based in the Los Angeles area, often travel to rural or remote areas of southern and central California to produce methamphetamine, subsequently returning to the Los Angeles area to distribute the drug.
Authorities had received information that several men who were staying at the residence had acquired large amounts of chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine. Agents observed the residence for about a week and, after observing several men taking supplies commonly used to produce methamphetamine into the residence, obtained a search warrant.
Shortly after the warrant was obtained, agents observed a suspect loading garbage bags into the backseat of his car before leaving the residence. The suspect was followed until he was away from the residence, when officers stopped his vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed two garbage bags containing 80 pounds of ephedrine. The driver was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession of a controlled substance for sale.
After his arrest, agents prepared to serve the search warrant on the residence. Just prior to entering the residence, four suspects were observed fleeing. Three suspects were captured, arrested, and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, criminal conspiracy, and resisting arrest. The fourth suspect was found in a trailer located on the property; he was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, criminal conspiracy, battery on a police officer, and resisting arrest.
Inside the residence agents found evidence of methamphetamine manufacture in every room. Clarke's analysis of drugs and poisons , 3rd edn, Vol. Moffat, A. Remberg, B.

When methamphetamine is smuggled into the United States in powder or liquid form, domestic conversion laboratories transform it into crystal methamphetamine. These laboratories do not require a significant amount of equipment, so they can be small in size and thus easily concealed, which presents challenges to law enforcement agencies.
Methamphetamine production is also an environmental concern; it involves many easily obtained chemicals that are hazardous, such as acetone, anhydrous ammonia fertilizer , ether, red phosphorus, and lithium. Toxicity from these chemicals can remain in the environment around a methamphetamine production lab long after the lab has been shut down, causing a wide range of damaging effects to health.
