I have a dry shop. I <br /> also have in-floor heat in the building. <br /> After consulting with area plumbers, I have been told that it is impossible to install a floor drain in a <br /> building with in-floor heating. Zach Abraham, plumber with Abe's Plumbing, informed me there are <br /> no requirements in the city plumbing code for a floor drain in my shop. He also consulted with <br /> Schrupp Excavating and they wondered why I would want to put a floor drain in when it isn't necessary <br /> in a dry shop. <br /> I have contacted the Minnesota Department of Health for their best practices for auto repair shops and <br /> found that there is no requirement for an auto repair shop to have a floor drain. <br /> I am also enclosing a letter from Joe Sabin, environmental specialist with the Minnesota Pollution <br /> Control Agency, confirming that I am handling wastes in a proper manner by using absorbent and <br /> properly disposing of it. The MPCA also told me that they have no requirements that an auto garage <br /> have a floor drain. <br /> If you require any further information, please contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ���;��� <br /> Nathan Walberg <br /> Enclosure <br />
