The plans you have submitted have been approved subject to the following conditions. If any future changes are necessary during construction, the changes must be first approved by this office. WATER AND WASTEWATER It is our understanding that community water and community sewer are utilized at this facility. The local plumbing authority may require that a grease trap or interceptor be installed. If a grease trap or interceptor is required, it must be located and installed so that it is effective. A maintenance schedule must be developed and followed to prevent grease from going down the sanitary sewer. Your plans show a utility mopwashing sink or curbed floor receptacle. No other fixture may be used for disposal of mopwater. If you plan to install an automatic chemical dispensing system at your mopwashing station, please contact the local plumbing authority for information on the proper back flow device needed to protect your fresh water. Please supply a mop - hanging device so mops and similar floor cleaning equipment can be cleaned and hung between uses. Be advised your hot water heater must be of sufficient capacity to meet the peak hot water demands of your facility. If hot water availability is found to be problematic, additional hot water generating equipment will be required. A preliminary calculation estimates your peak hot water demand to be 135 gallons per hour. It is recommended that you install a 75,000 BTU or a 17,000 KW water heater to meet this demand.

This typically includes refrigerator condensation lines, ice machines, sinks used for food preparation, soda fountains, dishwashing machines, steam tables, dipper wells, and espresso machines. Where an air gap is required to prevent contamination from sewage backflow, the distance between the bottom of the drain pipe and the rim of the floor sink or floor drain must be at least one inch or two pipe diameters, whichever is greater. Floor drains and floor sinks must remain accessible for cleaning and maintenance. Your plans indicate an indirect waste connection, as required, for the following equipment: Dishwashing machine, three- compaituient sink, preparation sink, and ice maker. Your plans do not specify how the following equipment will waste: Walk -in cooler and freezer. This equipment must waste indirectly. Please submit additional information that specifies how this equipment will waste and the location of floor sinks and floor drains. A food preparation sink is shown.

Restaurant Plan Review Letter -- Washington County HHS Environmental Health Program Page 4 The plans also show a commercial dishwasher. Machine or water line mounted thermometers must be provided to indicate water temperatures of the wash and rinse cycles. These thermometers must be accurate to +2 °F or +1°C. The dishwasher must be capable of reaching proper wash and rinse temperatures and must waste indirectly to a floor sink.
