Hunting

6:06 Starting around May that sampling is done on a biweekly basis. If we exceed an advisory threshold we increase sampling to every week. The other is toxins from harmful algae blooms. Sample collection starts when a bloom is present usually early in the summer and sampling is conducted weekly until that bloom dissipates. When sampling of either kind exceeds a predefined threshold advisories are issued to limit recreation at that lake. Unlike pools beaches are not formally permitted by public health but are addressed jointly with the different parks departments. Next slide please. Jumping into pools there are four main components to the pools program. The first two are permitting inspections and plan review. Pools, spas, splash pads and float tanks that are public facing are regulated by our office. Public facing facilities include apartments, hotels, gyms, community centers and commercial businesses such as swim schools. This does not include backyard

7:05 pools at private residences. Most permits are receiving two unannounced routine inspections per year. Plan review is required for all types of projects including new construction facilities, remodels, change of ownerships and variances. We have a state pool code that sets standards for design, plumbing, acceptable equipment such as NSF 50 certification and safety features. For new construction this includes a mid construction piping inspection as shown in the lower photo here to verify plumbing was built as approved and a preopening inspection once construction is completed. Next slide please. The other two components of the pools program are complaint response and education and outreach. We receive different kinds of complaints such as illness reports which can be as simple as a rash all the way up to a waterborne outbreak that requires collaboration with the communicable disease team. We also complete serious injury and drowning investigations. When an incident of this nature

8:05 occurs we do an onsite investigation to gather information about what happened. We also evaluate the facility to look for safety improvements to prevent it from happening in the future.
