Chapter 2.16 Combined Health District There is no longer a combined health district, so this chapter should be
void.
Chapter 6.08 Food Establishments This 1970 chapter has been superseded by a new food regulation.
Chapter 6.12 Food and Beverage Service Workers Permit This 1970 chapter is unnecessary because health cards are required by state
regulations already.
Chapter 6.16 Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks This 1970 chapter requires mobile home parks to get a health department
permit to construct,alter, or expand,and to get an operational permit to
operate one. In the context of current state and local regulations, this
chapter is no longer needed. Over the past 25 years, we have developed
strong, independent regulations governing solid waste, public water
supplies,and on-site sewage disposal. Also over the past 25 years,mobile
home parks have become less like RV trailer parks and more like residential
subdivision. Finally,Mobile Home Parks are regulated in Chapter 16.22.
In summation,Chapter 6.16 is redundant and unnecessary.
Chapter 6.20 Camping and Camping Vehicle Parks This 1970 chapter requires camping vehicle parks to get a health
department permit to construct,alter,or expand,and to get an operational
permit to operate one. In the context of current state and local regulations,
this chapter is no longer needed. Over the past 25 years, we have
developed strong, independent regulations governing solid waste,public
water supplies,and on-site sewage disposal.
Chapter 6.26 Standards for Individual Waste Disposal This 1970 chapter is part of a sewage code that has been formally revised
Systems by Mason County many times in the past 25 years,and yet this old code has
managed to stay in our code book. This chapter should be removed.
Chapter 6.36 Sanitary Landfills This 1970-1976 chapter is redundant and unnecessary. It should be
eliminated
Chapter 6.40 Sewage and/or Liquid Waste Removers This 1970 chapter is part of a sewage code that has been formally revised
by Mason County many times in the past 25 years,and yet this old code has
managed to stay in our code hook. This chapter should be removed.
Chapter 6.60 Potable Water Requirements This 1992 chapter was replaced by a simplified and shortened regulation
