All potato plantings in excess of one acre must be enrolled
				  in the seed potato certification program described in chapter 16-324 WAC. All
				  commercial potato plantings of one acre or less must either be enrolled in the
				  seed potato certification program or planted exclusively with certified seed
				  potatoes. Affected growers shall be responsible for all associated fees as
				  required in chapter 16-324 WAC. All potatoes entering the isolation district
				  for planting, processing or further sale, except for those intended for
				  immediate human consumption, must be derived from tested mother lots and found
				  negative for bacterial ring rot by an approved laboratory at origin. This
				  requirement does not apply to shipments merely transiting through the district
				  where the potatoes will not be planted, processed, or sold within the district.
				  Shipments entering or transiting through the isolation district must be covered
				  in a manner that safeguards pathogen dispersal.
The receiver must give prior notification to the department
				  of all lots of seed potatoes entering the isolation district and hold all
				  shipments for 24 hours after delivery, to allow the department to contact the
				  receiver for inspection. Notification may be by email or facsimile to:
