4 2 Environmental Health and Safety

5 Environmental Health Services All offices are located at: The Closed for lunch from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm The Division of Environmental Health conducts a variety of programs collectively focused on protecting the general health and safety of residents by monitoring and controlling environmental risks from our air, food, water, and waste disposal through inspection programs and educational outreach to many local businesses and homeowners. We provide information to the consumer to help them make healthy and safe choices. Inspection reports for food establishments, school buildings, hotels and motels, correctional facilities, RV parks, manufactured home parks, swimming pools and spas, and tattoo operators are available online at www. phdmc.org or by calling Air Pollution Control (RAPCA) RAPCA is the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency that covers Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble Counties. We work through local health departments to protect citizens from the adverse effects of air pollution. RAPCA enforces federal, state, and local air pollution control regulations and implements the state s industrial permit system. Our programs and services include air quality monitoring, air pollution forecasting, pollen and mold reports, indoor air quality, field work and enforcement, facility inspection, and industrial permits. We regulate removal of asbestos during building renovation and demolition. More information is available at RAPCA.org. Bed Bugs (to report bed bugs in a school, hotel or motel, restaurant or grocery store) (to report bed bugs in a home or apartment) Public Health provides educational outreach and awareness through community presentations and by responding to individuals with bed bug questions and problems. We provide information to help identify and prevent bed bugs, as well as options to deal with infestations. Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention (CLPP) Program provides testing and assessment of home hazards to prevent young children from becoming lead poisoned. Lead that is ingested is particularly harmful to the developing brain and nervous system of unborn and young children and can cause irreversible effects including learning disabilities, mental retardation, coma, and in extreme cases, death. CLPP provides case management for families with lead poisoned children. Construction and Demolition Debris Disposal The Construction and Demolition Debris Program inspects all open and closed construction and demolition debris landfills within Montgomery County to ensure that disposal methods protect the environment and the public s health. Construction and demolition debris must be disposed of in a facility licensed and inspected by Public Health or the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County 3

6 Food Protection The Food Protection Program oversees the licensing and inspection of all restaurants, grocery stores, vending machines, mobile food operations, and temporary food operations. Sanitarians inspect licensed food service operators and retail food establishments for proper food storage, handling, preparation and serving. Depending on the type of facility, inspections occur from one to four times per year, not including follow-up inspections. We conduct reviews of all new and remodeled facilities within Montgomery County. Online Inspection Reports are available at under Quick Links. Anyone planning to begin construction of a new restaurant or grocery must submit plans to Public Health for the work to be completed. Plans are also required for any substantial alterations. Public Health works hand in hand with local building and other inspection authorities to ensure that all applicable code requirements for facilities and equipment are met. Hotel and Motel Inspection The Hotel and Motel Program provides the licensing and inspection of all Montgomery County hotels and motels along with other facilities used by transient guests for sleeping. Public Health licenses over 6,500 rooms to ensure that all visitors will have a safe and sanitary accommodation, free of nuisance conditions. Online Inspection Reports are available at under Quick Links. Manufactured Home and Campground The Manufactured Home and Campground Program provides licensing and inspections of all manufactured homes, campgrounds, and related facilities within Montgomery County. Inspections ensure general environmental health concerns are met, such as spacing, tie-downs, protection of water connections, and adequate facilities for sewage disposal. Online Inspection Reports are available at under Quick Links. Mosquito and Vector Control The Mosquito Control Program protects Montgomery County from mosquito-borne diseases through regular trapping and species identification. The local mosquito and tick populations are monitored, tested, and controlled. If samples test positive for disease, Public Health notifies residents in the immediate area of the findings and provides education on how to protect themselves. Nuisance Abatement The Nuisance Abatement Program investigates complaints about trash, rodents, mold, and gross unsanitary conditions at commercial properties countywide and at residential properties in unincorporated areas of Montgomery County. Plumbing Inspection The Plumbing Inspection Program ensures that all plumbing installed during construction of a new or renovated building is installed under permit by knowledgeable craftsmen in accordance with applicable codes.

7 contamination of the public water supply caused by accidental backflow as well as by preventing exposure to discharge from improperly installed wastewater drainage systems. The plumbing program is responsible for on-premise sewer and water systems in many areas of the county. This program provides oversight of the installation of plumbing systems in all areas of Montgomery County except for the cities of Centerville, Dayton, Oakwood and Kettering. Plumbing contractors and in limited cases, homeowners, may apply for permits to install plumbing systems in new or remodeled construction. We typically respond to inspection requests within 24 hours. Plumbing contractors who have work inspected by Public Health must be registered with Public Health. Plumbing system plan approval is required for new or substantially altered commercial work, including multiunit apartments. Private Water and Sewage Treatment The Private Water System and Household Sewage Treatment System Program ensures that septic systems and private wells are designed and installed under permit and in accordance with state and local regulations. Public Health also investigates sewage nuisance complaints and consults with homeowners on replacing their septic systems. Rabies Control The Rabies Control Program quarantines dogs, cats, and ferrets involved in biting incidents to ensure that the animal did not transmit rabies to the victim. Biting animals are not released from quarantine until we receive proof of rabies vaccination from a veterinarian facility registered with Public Health. Local regulations require that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated for rabies. Laboratory tests of wild animals are also conducted when necessary. School Inspections The School Inspection Program helps schools identify conditions that may harm the health of students, school staff, and building occupants. Inspections include all areas of the school building and grounds, and account for environmental concerns, food service, playground safety, swimming pools, and indoor air quality. Online Inspection Reports are available at under Quick Links. Smoke-Free Workplace Ohio s Smoke-Free Workplace Program ensures that all work environments in the state are completely smoke-free. Public Health responds to complaints regarding smoking in any workplace in the county. We work with business owners to ensure compliance and protect employees and patrons from the health hazards of secondhand smoke. Solid and Infectious Waste The Solid and Infectious Waste Program ensures that waste materials are disposed of in compliance with state regulations and in a manner that protects the public s health and the environment. Staff regularly inspect all municipal solid waste landfills and transfer stations, compost operations, scrap tire businesses, and generators of infectious waste. Open dumping sites are monitored and complaints are investigated. We sample selected private wells near disposal sites to monitor ground water quality. We also investigate reports of open dumping.

8 Source Water Protection The Source Water Protection Program (formerly Well Field Protection) reduces risks to the public water supply by regulating the quantity and use of chemicals by businesses located in the Multi-Jurisdictional Source Water Protection Area. This is accomplished through chemical inventory reviews, periodic facility inspections, and financial incentives to businesses. Public Health staff also provides technical assistance to officials of Harrison Township, the cities of Riverside, Vandalia and Huber Heights. The City of Dayton operates a parallel program within the Dayton corporation limits. Swimming Pool Inspection The Swimming Pool and Spa Program consists of licensing and inspecting all public and municipal swimming pools, whirlpools, and special use pools within the county. We inspect design, operation, safety, and maintenance items, as well as water quality parameters of clarity, alkalinity, chlorine levels, and overall ph. Tattoo Establishments Public Health licenses and inspects tattoo and body piercing establishments within the county to ensure compliance with state and local regulations. Inspectors verify requirements for operator and artist training along with routine performance tests of sterilization equipment to eliminate the potential for bloodborne disease transmission. In addition, all complaints of unlicensed tattoo artists operating out of homes are investigated.
