RE: PLAN REVIEW - Restaurant FACILITY NUMBER: 34005262
McDonalds #4626
Dear Mr. Lakey:
The Washington County Department of Health and Human Services Environmental Health
Program has received revised remodel plans for the McDonalds Restaurant located at 12090 SW
Main Street in Tigard, Oregon. This restaurant has been previously licensed, but is being
substantially remodeled and must be updated so it meets all aspects of the current rules.
During remodel construction, operation of the facility is not allowed if there is an interruption in
power, gas, or water supply. All construction activities that create dust or other possible
contamination must be done during closed hours or under approved methods of contamination
containment.
The plans you 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.
It is understood that there will be no changes to the wastewater equipment (i.e. grease interceptor,
mop sink).
Please supply a mop - hanging device so mops and similar floor cleaning equipment can be cleaned I.
and hung between uses.
The proposed changes are not expected to increase your hot water demand.
RESTROOMS
It is understood that there will be no changes to seating or restrooms.

Two restrooms are shown on the plans. Please consult the local Building Department for
information on the ratio of toilets, urinals, and handwashing sinks required for your planned
occupancy.
Restrooms must meet all the requirements as described in the Oregon Food Sanitation Rules for
design, construction, and operation. Restroom doors must self -close if they open onto a food or
dining area. There must be at least one covered waste receptacle in the women's restroom.
HANDWASHING
The revised plans you submitted on October 7, 2008 show a new handwashing sink (4.01) within
the front food service area. Handwashing facilities as shown on the revised plans are approved.
The number and placement of handwashing sinks must be adequate to serve all food service
activities including preparation, cooking, dishwashing, serving, bussing, bartending, and
restrooms. Use of handwashing sinks is restricted to handwashing only. Access to each sink
must be kept free for its intended use. Any adjacent work surfaces or clean utensils must be
protected through installation of a splash guard.
All handwashing sinks, including restroom handwashing sinks, must be equipped with dispensed
soap and towels. Common (cloth) towels cannot be used to dry hands. If disposable towels are
used, waste receptacles must be conveniently located near the handwashing facilities.
All handwashing sinks must be supplied with hot and cold water or tempered water under
pressure. Hot water must reach at least 110 °F within a reasonable time. Metered faucets must be
adjusted to dispense for at least 15 seconds before shutoff.
Handwashing signage must be posted. Handwashing signage is available from this office upon
request.
DISHWASHING AND SANITIZING -
It is understood that there will be no changes to dishwashing and sanitizing equipment
FOOD EQUIPMENT AND PLUMBING
All plumbing fixtures and installations must meet the requirements of the Oregon Uniform
Plumbing Code, including the installation of backflow devices to protect the potable water supply.
The facility must also meet any additional requirements by the City of Tigard.
Drain lines from any fixture or piece of equipment used to hold food or ice must waste indirectly to
a floor sink or floor drain. This typically includes refrigerator condensation lines, ice machines, hot
water heaters, 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.

components.
It is understood that there is no change to the existing food preparation sink.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Refrigerated ready -to -eat potentially hazardous food that is cooked in the facility and held for more
than 24 hours must be date - marked. This food must be consumed within seven days. The date of
preparation is included as the first day in the date - marking system. Food prepared onsite and then
frozen must be date - marked to indicate how long the food may be kept once the product is thawed.
This same rule applies to certain ready -to -eat potentially hazardous foods you purchase, such as deli
meats and dairy products. These foods must be date - marked once packages have been opened.
All refrigeration must be capable of holding foods at 41°F or below. Refrigerators and freezers that
do not have integral built -in thermometers must be equipped with a thermometer that is accurate to
within 2 °F. It is recommended that refrigeration temperature logs be kept.
Refrigeration units that have condensation drain lines must waste indirectly to the sewer through a
floor drain, hub drain, or other approved waste water receptacle.
SPECIAL MENU REQUIREMENTS
It is understood that you will not be holding hot milk to prepare variety coffee beverages. If hot
milk will be held, it is recommended that you keep milk steamed for coffee drinks hot between
drink preparations. Hot milk should be monitored with a probe thermometer in order to maintain
temperatures at 140 °F or above. •

drinking containers cannot be refilled on dispensing units that require the container to come into
contact with the beverage machine. The lip of used beverage containers should never come in
contact with a beverage dispensing unit or an ice - dispensing machine.
Self - service areas must have a smooth, nonabsorbent floor covering such as vinyl, tile, or the
equivalent extending out 30 inches on each side to which the public has access.
All food or food items in the facility which are within customer reach and are not prepackaged must
be protected from customer contamination by a sneeze shield or other approved means. Please see
the enclosed NSF pamphlet for information on sneeze shield requirements.

If floor cleaning will take place using a wet mopping method, base coving is required on all
wall /floor junctures and no gaps shall exist larger than 1 /32nd of an inch. If water flush cleaning
methods are used, the floors must be provided with drains and be graded to drain, and the wall/floor
junctures must be coved and sealed with no gaps.
Gaps in floors, doors, walls, or ceilings around plumbing or electrical work must be filled in to
prevent rodent and insect access and entrance. Exposed utility lines and pipes cannot be installed
horizontally on the floor.
All equipment must be installed so as to be moveable or properly sealed to facilitate proper
cleaning. Floor- mounted equipment, unless readily moveable, must be sealed to the floor, installed
on a concrete or otherwise smooth base at least four inches high, or elevated on legs to provide at
least a six inch clearance between the floor and equipment.
Outside garbage storage areas or enclosures must be large enough to store the garbage and refuse
containers and must be kept clean. Garbage and refuse containers, dumpsters, and compactor
systems located outside must be stored on or above a hard, nonabsorbent surface such as cement or
