Provide additional information as required (check all that apply) (required)

You are required to submit 2 copies of drawings and specifications of your proposed construction or alteration. Check to ensure you have included the following information in the “List of Documents” below:

• A site plan showing your plant location relative to the other buildings around you and what activities are carried out in those buildings
• Plant drawings, drawn to scale that:
  Show the floor plan of each level of the plant, that the plant is big enough for the planned activities, the details of the interior spaces

  Show that the plant is designed with adequate space to meet the intended activities, provides for effective employee flow (employees can easily move in and around the plant and equipment to facilitate orderly processing) and provides enough space to properly clean and sanitize equipment and facilities

  Show details of the interior spaces, drawn to scale

  Identify the use/function of all areas and show that there is enough separation between incompatible operations (preferably within separate rooms). For example, keeping raw milk area/processes separate from pasteurized milk areas/processes

  Show the flow of people through the facility in relation to the flow of incoming ingredients through processing, packaging, storage and distribution

  Where applicable, show the desired temperatures in each aging/curing room and refrigerated storage room

  Show and clearly identify all access points from the exterior (doors and windows), as well as any other opening to the exterior (for example, hose port openings and exhaust fans)

  Show the location of all interior doors and partitions between rooms

  Show all major pieces of equipment and their location

  Where appropriate, show equipment specifications and piping and instrumentation diagram (e.g., for new HTST system)

  Show the location of drains and indicate the floor slope to those drains

  Show that the junctions between floors and walls are properly coved and sealed

  Show the location of lighting throughout the plant and indicate the light intensity levels in each area (Lux)

  Identify the air flow patterns from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas

  Identify the areas where there is a high risk for product contamination

  Show foot baths and/or floor foamer locations, hand-wash sinks, washrooms, restricted areas and other control mechanisms designed to prevent cross-contamination from employees and materials moving throughout the plant

  Show the receiving bay and all product handling pipelines, if applicable

Note: The above information may be shown using multiple floor plan drawings where needed, or on a summary document.
