				  Cankers Disease of Walnut, consisting of an insect pest, the Walnut Twig
				  Beetle,
Pityophthorus juglandis
, and a fungal pathogen,
Geosmithia morbida sp. nov
.
(1) It has been determined that Thousand
				Cankers Disease of Walnut, a lethal insect-fungal pathogen pest complex of
				walnut (
Juglans spp.
) has been detected in at least nine (9)
				states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee,
				Utah, and Washington). The Walnut Twig Beetle is known from several western
				states and Mexico; however, the fungus is a newly-described fungus with a
				proposed name of
Geosmithia morbida sp. nov
. Thousand Cankers
				Disease has not yet been found in Missouri, but its introduction could cause an
				estimated $851 million in losses over a twenty (20)-year period to the state
				economy, as well as inestimable, long-term ecological and sociological impacts.
				As such, the state entomologist, under the authority of section
				263.140,
				RSMo, of the Missouri Plant Law does now establish a quarantine to prevent the
				introduction of this pest complex into Missouri and now sets forth the name of
				this pest complex against which the quarantine is established, the quarantined
				area, the articles regulated, and the penalty.

				a person or entity moving regulated articles from or through a quarantined area
				into Missouri;
(C) Firewood for the
				purposes of this quarantine shall be defined as wood, either split or unsplit,
				in sections less than four feet (4') in length;
(D) State entomologist refers to the Missouri
				Department of Agriculture Plant Pest Control Bureau Administrator;
				and
(E) State plant regulatory
				official refers to the National Plant Board member of the state of
				origin.

(1) It
				has been determined that the pine shoot beetle, native to Europe, and a
				destructive pest of pine (
Pinus
spp.) has become established
				in Missouri. It is not yet known to be generally distributed throughout the
				state of Missouri, and its introduction into the remainder of the state would
				cause further economic and ecological loss. As such, the state entomologist,
				under the authority of section
				263.140,
				RSMo, of the Missouri Plant Law does now establish a quarantine to prevent the
				spread of this pest into uninfested parts of Missouri and other states and now
				sets forth the name of this pest against which the quarantine is established,
				the quarantined area, the articles regulated, the rules governing movement of
				regulated articles, and the penalty.
(2) The following definitions shall apply to
				this quarantine:

				including the vascular cambium;
(B)
				Certificate of inspection is a document authorized to be issued by the director
				to allow the movement of regulated articles from the quarantined area to
				destinations within the state of Missouri;
(C) Compliance agreement is a written
				agreement between the director and a person or entity moving regulated articles
				out of the quarantined area;
(D)
				Director is the director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture or his/her
				authorized representative;
(E)
				Established refers to the presence of a reproducing population of the pine
				shoot beetle;
(F) Inspector refers
				to an employee of the Missouri Department of Agriculture, Plant Pest Control
				Bureau or United States Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health
				Inspection Service/Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA/APHIS/PPQ) authorized
				to enforce the provisions of this quarantine;
(G) Limited permit means a document which an
				inspector, or person operating under a compliance agreement, affirms that the
				regulated article identified on the document is eligible for intrastate and/or
				interstate movement in accordance with this quarantine to a specified
				destination and only in accordance with specified conditions; and
(H) Pine shoot beetle is the insect
				classified as
Tomicus piniperda
Linnaeus in any life
				stage.
