Or. Admin. Code § 603-052-0450 - Quarantine; Cherry Bark Tortrix
(1)
Establishing a Quarantine. A quarantine is established against the pest known
as cherry bark tortrix, Enarmonia formosana (Scopoli).
(2) Areas Under Quarantine. The entire state
of Washington, the province of British Columbia, and any other state, territory
or province where the presence of an established population of cherry bark
tortrix is confirmed and effective eradication procedures have not been
implemented, as determined by the Director of the Oregon Department of
Agriculture. In Oregon, Multnomah and Clackamas counties.
(3) Commodities Covered. The cherry bark
tortrix, Enarmonia formosana (Scopoli); host plants of the cherry bark tortrix,
including all species of the genera, Crataegus, Cydonia, Malus, Prunus,
Pyracantha, Pyrus and Sorbus; and unseasoned firewood derived from trees of
these host plant genera. Uninfested nursery stock plants of these genera that
are less than two inches in diameter are exempted from the
quarantine.
(4) Restrictions.
Regulated commodities shall not be shipped or moved directly or indirectly from
the regulated areas into the state of Oregon unless accompanied by a permit or
certificate issued by a state or federal agriculture official from the
regulated area and based upon the following conditions:
(a) The regulated plants have been grown in a
screened greenhouse or screenhouse adequate to exclude the adults of cherry
bark tortrix; or
(b) Such regulated
plants have been treated in accordance with a fumigation schedule approved in
writing by the Director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture; or
(c) Each dormant, defoliated, regulated host
plant shall be inspected by an authorized agricultural official of the
regulated state or province for the presence of cherry bark tortrix and found
free of any evidence of infestation by that pest;
(d) Portions of states or provinces listed in
the area under quarantine may have counties that are not infested with cherry
bark tortrix. Shipments of covered commodities may be accepted from these
noninfested counties if annual surveys are made in such counties and the
results of such surveys are negative for cherry bark tortrix. A list of
counties so approved will be maintained by the Oregon Department of
Agriculture. Agricultural officials of a quarantined state or province may
recommend a noninfested county be placed on the approved county list by writing
for such approval and giving the following information: areas surveyed, how the
survey was carried out, personnel involved and, if the county was previously
infested, date of last infestation. If heavy infestations occur in neighboring
counties, approval may be denied. To be maintained on the approved list, each
county must be reapproved every twelve (12) months. Shipments of and covered
commodities from noninfested counties will only be allowed entry into Oregon if
the uninfested county has been placed on the approved list prior to the arrival
of the shipment in Oregon.
(5) Persons shipping regulated commodities
into the state of Oregon must comply with Oregon's notification requirement for
imported tree and shrub nursery stock, OAR 603-054-0027.
(6) The person to whom the regulated
commodities are shipped shall hold the articles until they are inspected and
released by a duly appointed inspector of the state of Oregon.
