Movement of EAB hosts within the quarantine area (Washington, Yamhill, Marion and Clackamas counties) is permitted. Ash, olive, and white fringe trees can be sold, given away, or planted, as long as they remain within the quarantine boundaries. • Why are we concerned? EAB kills ash and white fringe trees and can damage olive trees. To slow the spread of EAB, ODA is placing a quarantine on infested Counties to restrict the movement of tree materials that may spread EAB to new areas in the state. • What is a quarantine? What are the consequences for not adhering to the quarantine? Quarantine is the legal enforcement of actions that help slow the spread of pests to new areas or that prevent them from multiplying where they have already gained entry. For this reason, ODA is implementing a permanent EAB quarantine as per Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR [PHONE REDACTED]). Non-compliance will result in the spread of EAB and civil penalties of up to $10,000 as provided by ORS 570.995 • What do I need to do? Nurseries train staff to identify signs of EAB and report sightings to ODA. Communicate clearly to the purchaser that host plants are required to remain within the quarantine boundaries. Inspect EAB host plants prior to moving them within the quarnatine zones, and inspect mother trees.
