A Public Health plan review is required when you are: • Opening a new cart • Remodeling (adding, removing, changing or replacing plumbing, electrical or structural items) • Changing ownership (for carts out of service longer than six months) • Adding to or changing your menu needs to be approved by the Public Health Division and may require a plan review in some cases Contact Environmental Health at eh@clackamas.us or 503-655-8384.
