Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Apple maggot (
Rhagoletis pomonella
) and
				  plum curculio (
Conotrachelus nenuphar
) are insects with a
				  larval (worm) stage that develops within fruit. These insects are capable of
				  attacking many fruit crops grown in Washington. Apple maggot is not established
				  in significant portions of the major fruit production areas east of the Cascade
				  Mountains, and plum curculio is not established anywhere in the state. An
				  increased range for either insect would cause decreased environmental quality
				  and economic loss to the agricultural industries of the state by increasing
				  production inputs and jeopardizing foreign and domestic markets.
(1) The director , pursuant to chapter 17.24
				RCW, has determined that the regulation and/or exclusion of fresh fruits grown
				or originating from areas infested with apple maggot or plum curculio is
				necessary to protect the environment and agricultural crops of the
				state.
(2) The director, pursuant
				to chapter 17.24 RCW, has determined that municipal solid waste originating
				from areas infested with apple maggot is a host medium for apple maggot and is
				a "regulated commodity" as provided in WAC
				16-470-111. The exclusion of such
				municipal solid waste from the pest free area is necessary to protect the
				environment and agricultural crops of the state. The transport into and
				disposition of such municipal solid waste in the pest free area may be allowed
				by a special permit as provided in WAC 16-470-124(1).
(3) The director, pursuant to chapter 17.24
				RCW, has determined that yard debris, organic feedstocks, organic materials,
				and agricultural wastes as defined in WAC
				173-350-100 originating from
				areas infested with apple maggot is a host medium for apple maggot and is a
				"regulated commodity" as provided in WAC
				16-470-111. The exclusion of such
				waste from the pest free area is necessary to protect the environment and
				agricultural crops of the state. The transport into and disposition of yard
				debris, organic feedstocks, organic materials, and agricultural wastes in the
				pest free area may be allowed by a special permit as provided in WAC
				16-470-124(2).

(2) "Threatened with infestation" means that

				mile of an orchard or other production site, including any portion of an
				orchard outside or beyond the one-half mile area. Orchards or production sites
				in a quarantined area, which are not surveyed by a plant protection
				organization, are considered to be threatened with infestation. An orchard or
				other production site will be removed from threatened with infestation status,
				if control measures are performed at the detection site, and survey by the
				department shows no further detection(s) within the one-half mile area around
				the orchard or other production site throughout the subsequent full growing

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Onion white rot is a potentially devastating disease of
				  onions and closely related species, which can greatly decrease yields and
				  reduce storage quality. It is spread primarily by movement of contaminated
				  water, soil, equipment, tools, and machinery, and by infested onion plants and
				  plant parts. Onion white rot disease is caused by the fungus
Sclerotium
				  cepivorum
. Once a field is infested, the fungus remains indefinitely
				  in the soil. The director finds that onion white rot disease is detrimental to
				  the onion industry of Washington and establishes a quarantine to prevent
				  introduction and spread of the disease into noninfested areas of the
				  state.
