Meth house remodel options?

OK -- so I got your attention with a cheap lead.   But I have a sincere question.   There's a property in my area (the Triangle, NC) with a burned house on it.  Rumor is it was a meth lab that went to flames.  Nothing really salvageable even if it wasn't a cook shop.   In IT, when we completely wipe a system and rebuilt it, we call it a nuke&pave.   I suppose there is a similar phrase here.  It may be an opportunity to completely bulldoze/haul the remainder of the house and build better.    I've just started running numbers on brown-ground build costs for a 2-3k sq ft in the area.   Does anyone have a feel for the demo/haul costs?   Or for those who have tackled meth houses in the past, are there other DHHS/EPA rules about clearing the old structure/lot?    Thank you!
