*If a pine shoot beetle is detected in any one of the trees being sampled, the entire shipment must be rejected. If no pine shoot beetle is detected in any of the trees sampled, the shipment will be allowed to move with a limited permit. The limited permit must state, "All trees that remain unsold as of December 25 must be destroyed by burning or chipping, or must be fumigated, prior to January 1."
H. Compliance Agreements.
Certificates and limited permits for use for interstate movement of regulated articles may be issued by an inspector or person operating under a compliance agreement. A person operating under a compliance agreement may issue a certificate for the interstate movement of a regulated article if an inspector has determined that the regulated article is otherwise eligible for a certificate in accordance with paragraph (e) of this section. A person operating under a compliance agreement may issue a limited permit for interstate movement of a regulated article when an inspector has determined that the regulated article is eligible for a limited permit in accordance with paragraph (F) of this section.
I.
Treatments and Management Method.
1. Fumigation is authorized for use on pine logs with bark attached, pine lumber with bark attached, pine bark nuggets (including bark chips), pine stumps, as follows: logs, lumber and stumps may be treated with methyl bromide at normal atmospheric pressure with 48 g/m3 (3 lb/1000 ft3) for 16 hours at 21oC (70oF) or above, or 80 g/m3 (5 lb/1000 ft3) for 16 hours at 4.5o - 20.5oC (40o - 69 oF).
2.Cold treatment is authorized for cut pine Christmas trees, pine nursery stock, and raw pine materials for pine wreaths and garlands as follows: the regulated articles must be loaded into a refrigeration unit and held at -20.6oC (-5oF) for one hour; the period before the refrigeration unit reaches the specified temperature is not part of the treatment period.
3. Any one of these fumigation treatments is
authorized for use on cut pine Christmas trees, pine wreaths and garlands,
and raw pine materials for pine wreaths and garlands. Cut pine Christmas
trees, pine wreaths and garlands, and raw pine materials for pine wreaths and
garlands may be treated with methyl bromide at normal atmospheric pressure as
follows:
4. Management
method for pine bark products. The
following procedures are authorized for use with pine bark products derived
from white pine (Pinus strobus), Scotch pine (P.
sylvestris), red
pine (P. resinosa), and jack pine
(P. banksiana) trees. Pine
bark products will only be considered to have been produced in accordance
with this management method if the following procedures are followed:
a. For pine bark products produced from trees
felled during the period November 1 through March 31:
(i) The trees must be harvested
at a height of 4 inches or more above the duff line; and
(ii) The trees must have been mechanically debarked with
a ring debarker or a Rosser head debarker; and
(iii) For Scotch pine, red pine, and jack pine, the bark
must either be ground into pieces of 1 inch or less in diameter or composted
in accordance with the procedure in paragraph (4)(c) of this section.
b. For pine bark products produced from trees felled
during the period April 1 through June 30:
(i) The trees must have been
mechanically debarked with a ring debarker or a
Rosser head debarker; and
(ii) The bark must either be ground into pieces of 1 inch
or less in size or composted in accordance with the procedure in paragraph
(4)(c) of this section.
c. Composting for pine bark products for the management
method in this paragraph (4) must be performed as follows:
(i) The pile of pine bark to be
composted must be at least 200 cubic yards in size; and
(ii) The compost pile must remain undisturbed until the
interior temperature of the pile reaches 120 °F (49 °C) and remains at or
over that temperature for 4 consecutive days; and
(iii) After the 4-day period is completed, the outer
layer of the compost pile must be removed to a depth of 3 feet; and
(iv) A second compost pile must be started using the cover
material previously removed as a core. Core material must be removed from the
first pile and used to cover the second compost pile to a depth of 3 feet;
and
(v) The second compost pile must remain undisturbed until
the interior temperature of the pile reaches 120 °F (49 °C) and remains at or
over that temperature for 4 consecutive days. After this 4-day period, the
composting procedure is complete.
(vi) Previously composted material generated using this
procedure may be used as cover material for subsequent compost piles. A
compost pile that uses previously composted material must remain undisturbed
until the interior temperature of the pile reaches 120 °F (49 °C) and remains
at or over that temperature for 4 consecutive days. After this 4-day period,
the composting procedure is complete.
