Do building construction plans have to be approved by the local health agency?

Yes, the Nevada County Environmental Health Department (NCEHD) can delegate the responsibility to review and approve building and construction plans to the local building and planning officials. An inspection would be required by the EH Department after, or in conjunction with, the building final inspection. 

At least 30 days prior to the operation of any camp, construction of any new camp or any major expansion of physical facilities, a written notice shall be sent by the site operator to NCEHD.
