(2) A
				toilet, hand washing, and bathing facility shall be located within 200 feet of
				each sleeping area of a migrant labor camp.
(3) Where toilet rooms are shared, such as in
				multi-family housing units and barracks, toilet facilities shall be provided
				for each sex. These rooms shall be distinctly marked "Men" and "Women" by signs
				printed in English and in the native language of the persons occupying the
				camp. If the facilities for each sex are in the same building, they shall be
				separated by a solid wall or partition extending from the floor to the roof or
				ceiling. All group toilet rooms in migrant labor camps and residential migrant
				housing shall be constructed with privacy partitions between each water closet
				to block the occupants from view. All privacy partitions for toilets shall have
				doors. All toilet facilities shall be equipped with a self closing entrance
				door and maintained in good repair, cleaned with a disinfectant and provided
				with toilet paper and a garbage receptacle.
(4) Each individual family unit shall contain
				at least one flush toilet, bathing facility and hand washing unit. If there are
				minor children in the family, there must be private bathing and toilet
				facilities provided within the individual living quarters of the
				family.
(5) Toilet rooms in
				individual family units shall be so located that no individual is required to
				pass through a sleeping area, other than their own, in order to use toilet
				facilities. Adequate lighting shall be provided in all toilet rooms. Toilet
				rooms shall be ventilated to the outside when there is no window. No flush
				toilet fixture or urinal shall be located in a sleeping room.
(6) The floors of hand washing, bathing and
				laundry facilities in migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing shall
				be of smooth but non-skid finish, impervious to moisture, and sloped to
				drain.
(7) A laundry facility shall
				consist of a two compartment stationary tub or an electric washer and dryer.
				Except as provided elsewhere in this rule, there must be at least one laundry
				facility provided at each migrant labor camp and residential migrant housing
				establishment. In the event the laundry facility is not located on the premises
				of residential migrant housing establishments, the owner or operator of the
				residential migrant housing must either install a laundry facility on the
				premises or provide transportation to the laundry facility for the migrant or
				seasonal farmworkers occupying the permitted residential migrant housing. The
				owner or operator must provide transportation to the laundry facility at least
				twice a week for the migrant or seasonal farmworkers.
(8) A separate laundry basket shall be
				provided by the owner or operator for farmworkers to separate the workers'
				soiled clothing worn in the fields from other clothing worn in the home. The
				laundry basket must be labeled in the native language of the majority of the
				farmworkers and in English (for example, Spanish and English, Haitian Creole
				and English, Vietnamese and English) as: "Dirty Field Clothing, Wash
				Separately". The owners and operators shall obtain a copy of the United States
				Environmental Protection Agency's mini booklet entitled "Steps to Protect
				Yourself from Pesticides, " at
http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d000701-d000800/d000732/d000732.html
,
				or from the county health department to distribute to the migrant and seasonal
				farmworkers. The booklet contains educational material in Spanish, English and
				Haitian Creole, explaining the precautionary measures that must be taken to
				prevent pesticide poisoning in the home as well as explaining the importance of
				separating soiled field clothing from other clothing worn in the home. The
				booklets provided must be in the native language of the migrant and seasonal
				farmworkers. The owners or operators shall obtain a list of contact information
				for the migrant and seasonal farmworkers directing them where to seek medical
				attention and where to report a poisoning incident. The list shall be displayed
				in a conspicuous place in a common area in the migrant labor camp or
				residential migrant housing units for the health official to view during the
				inspections.
(9) Floor drains
				properly trapped shall be provided in all shower baths and shower rooms to
				remove waste water and facilitate cleaning. The walls and partitions of shower
				rooms shall be smooth and impervious to moisture. A hose bib equipped to
				prevent backflow is required in each communal shower area. Soap and single
				service hand drying facilities shall be provided at communal personal hygiene
				facilities.
