EROSION PERMITS NOW REQUIRED FOR PLUMBING OR ELECTRICAL UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS
 Attention plimbing and electrical contractors: in March 2005, the City of Nampa adopted an Erosion and Sediment Control/Grading ordinance to prohibit the discharge of sediments and pollutants from construction and land distrubing activities to Nampa's public waterways and storm drainage system. This ordinance is in compliance with an Environmental Protection Agency mandate. The ordinance requires that an approved Erosion and Sediment Control permit must be issued for excavation projects where two or more cubic yards of soil are to be disturbed.
NEW SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL HEAT LOSS CALCULATIONS AND DUCT SIZING
The City of Nampa Building Department will start enforcing the requirements for submittal of Heat Loss Calculations (Manual J) and Duct Sizing (Manual D) as required by the International Codes effective January 1, 2009. However, there will be a 90-day grace period for submittals to help assist applicants with learning the requirements and what all is needed for a complete submittal.
NAMPA BUILDING DEPARTMENT RELEASES UPDATE FOR ONLINE PERMITTING SYSTEM
The Nampa Building department has released an update to our Online Building Permit system for local contractors. Contractors and home owners can now submit residential plans online for review and approval electronically. It also allows contractors to go on line to request an inspection for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. Contractors also have the ability to check the status of those inspections online and see the inspection results as soon as it is completed. The updated system improves everything from the appearance to the timeliness of the information available to its users.
"We're extremely pleased to offer the improved functionality and capabilities of this system to our customers." said Director of Building Safety for the City of Nampa, Dennis Davis. "This is the culmination of a year-long effort between the Building department, the Information Systems department, and most importantly, our customers, the contractors who do business in Nampa."
The new updated system application is available to any contractor that signs up online at www.cityofnampa.us/eservices and pays an annual $35 electronic permitting convenience fee.
NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR SANITARY GREASE LINES
The City of Nampa will now have specific requirements for the type of piping permitted to be used for sanitary and grease parallel runs. For more information, please go to our "downloads" section of Plan Review.
IMPORTANT INSPECTION REMINDERS
The complete set of approved plans must be on site for all inspections. Failure to be ready for a requested inspection may result in an extra re-inspection fee.
CUT OFF TIME FOR INSPECTION REQUESTS
All inspections must be called in prior to 7:00 a.m. to receive them the same day. All inspections called in after 7:00 a.m. will be scheduled for the following WORK day. Scheduling an actual appointment time for an inspection is done on an EMERGENCY basis only.
