GRAPEVINES, CUTTINGS, AND USED EQUIPMENT TO EL DORADO, GLENN, LAKE, MARIPOSA, NEVADA AND PLACER COUNTIES.

All grapevines and cuttings (rooted or otherwise) are prohibited entry into or movement within El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Mariposa, Nevada and Placer Counties unless accompanied by an origin certificate or a treatment certificate as stated herein.

Origin certificates may be issued when the regulatory official in the shipping county or state has surveyed for the insect grape phylloxera in the area and is confident that the pest does not occur in the growing area. The certificate should indicate "no grape phylloxera is known to exist in the area where the vines or cuttings were grown."

"Area" means a specific property of a person/firm or a specific nursery stock growing ground and not necessarily a district or community within a county.

All shipments of grapevines and cuttings, rooted or otherwise, destined to El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Mariposa, Nevada and Placer Counties must be held at destination for inspection by the county agricultural commissioner.
