The <br />approval of such plans is given upon the supposition that the survey and <br />other data on which the design is based are correct, and that necessary <br />legal authority has been obtained to construct the project. The responsibility <br />for the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be <br />taken by the engineer or architect who designs the project. <br /> <br />Water supply plans are examined with regard to the location, construction and <br />operational features of the design and maintenance of all parts of the system <br />which may affect the safety and sanitary quality of the water. Examination is <br />based on the standards of this Department. <br /> <br />Plans of sewage disposal systems considered by this Department are limited to <br />those systems that can utilize soil absorption. They are examined with regard <br />to the features of design which concern location, construction, operation and <br />maintenance of the system and which may affect the public health. The <br />examination is based upon information contained in 6 MCAR § 4.8040 "Individual <br />Sewage Treatment Systems Standards," 1978. <br /> <br />Plans on plumbing systems are examined only insofar as the provisions of the <br />Minnesota Plumbing Code apply. <br /> <br />Swimming pool plans are examined with regard to the features of location and <br />design which may affect the safety and sanitary quality of the water for <br />public bathing. The examination is based upon Regulation ~D 141, Public <br />Swimming Pools. <br /> <br />The Commissioner of Health reserves the right to withdraw his approval of <br />plans if construction of the project is not undertaken within a period of two <br />years. The fact that plans have been approved by the Commissioner of Health <br />does not necessarily mean that recommendations for alterations or additions <br />may not be offered at some later time when changed conditions or advanced <br />knowledge make improvements necessary. <br /> <br />ii/so <br /> <br /> <br />
