regulations proposed
NEW YORK, N.Y. -
Changes have been proposed ,
in gypsy moth quarantines
by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture that could im
pact on the movement of
regulated articles - such as
logs, pulpwood, trees with
shrubs, mobile homes and
recreational vehicles - from
so-called high-risk areas in
the Northeast to hon-infested
or non-regulated areas of the
country.
Currently, this leaf-eating
insect defoliates several
hundred thousand woodland
acres in an area stretching
from New England to the
Middle Atlantic states. The
pest has been spreading its
destruction naturally to the
south and west at about 10 to
15 miles a year. -s.

Uncaste r Farming/ Saturday, May 12,1979—13
New gypsy moth
department’s Animal and
Plant' Health Inspection
Service, said the proposed
changes represent a new
approach that is aimed
toward preventing artificial
spread from high-risk to non
regulated areas. The insect
is known to hitchhike long
distances on items moved by
people, such as mobile
homes and recreational
vehicles.
Under the changes,
restrictions would not apply
to articles moving from
high-risk to adjacent low
risk areas, or from low-risk
to non-regulated areas.
Permits or - certificates
would be issued as before to
move regulated articles that_
have been inspected or that"
have been treated to
eliminate the pest risk.
. Five major classes of
items would be regulated:
Trees and woody shrubs with
roots attacked (unless grown
indoors, year-round); logs
and pulpwood (unless going
to approved mills); mobile
homes and associated
equipment, such as awnings
or trailer skirts; and
recreational vehicles
moving from certain
campgrounds. Other items,
such as outdoor furniture,
also may be restricted if
they are likely to spread the
pest.
USDA will hold a public
hearing on the proposal June
19 in room 349 of the John C.
Kluczyinski Federal
Budding at 230 S. Dearborn
Street in Chicago. It will
begin at 10 a.m.
