Quarantine; Against Exotic Phytophagous Snails

(1)

Establishing Quarantine. A quarantine is established against exotic phytophagous snails that are members of the Phylum Mollusca of the Class Gastropoda characterized by a calcareous shell covering the visceral hump. This quarantine applies to exotic phytophagous snails in any stage of development, and includes, but is not limited to: brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum Müller), white garden snail (Theba pisana Müller), milk snail (Otala lactea Müller), giant African snail (Achatina spp.), giant South American snail (Megalobulimus oblongus Müller), and all other exotic phytophagous snails (hereafter, “exotic phytophagous snails”) except for species on the approved species list (OAR 603-052-1320 (Approved Species (Non-Regulated))). These snails are very important garden and agricultural pests causing severe damage to leaves and fruits of many plants.

(2)

Areas Under Quarantine. The entire states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington, and any other state or territory where exotic phytophagous snails are established.

(3)

Covered Commodities. Exotic phytophagous snails in any stage of development. Grass sod and all plants with roots in soil and any other plant material or articles capable of transporting exotic phytophagous snails into Oregon are hereby declared to be hosts or possible carriers of the pests herein quarantined and are prohibited entry into this state directly, indirectly, diverted, or reconsigned unless there is compliance with section (4) of this rule.

(4)

Conditions:

(a)

Covered commodities from regulated areas may be permitted entry into Oregon only when such commodities are accompanied by a certificate of quarantine compliance issued by an authorized official from the state of origin which certifies that it has been determined by official inspection immediately prior to shipment that such covered commodities were found to be free of all life stages of exotic phytophagous snails or that such commodities originate from an area determined by official inspection to be free of exotic phytophagous snails. The original certification document shall be forwarded to the Oregon State Department of Agriculture, Plant Program Area, 635 Capitol St. NE, Salem, Oregon 97310, immediately by First Class mail or fax (503) 986-4786. Each lot or shipment of the covered commodities shall be accompanied by a copy of the above described certification document. The Oregon receiver to whom the commodities are shipped shall notify the department immediately upon receipt of such commodities and shall hold the same until they are released by the department.

(b)

Cut greens, cut flowers and soil-free plants including bare root plants, plant crowns, roots for propagation, bulbs, corms, tubers, and rhizomes of plants washed free of adherent soil are excepted from the quarantine, if such plant materials are found upon inspection not to be infested with exotic phytophagous snails or are found not to bear soil accumulations sufficient to carry or obscure any life stage of exotic phytophagous snails.

(c)

Certified and noncertified covered commodities shall not be shipped together in the same transporting vehicle, and any such mixing of certified and noncertified covered commodities shall nullify certification and result in the rejection of the entire shipment of covered commodities. Upon inspection and determination by the Oregon State Department of Agriculture that the transporting vehicle or any properly certified covered commodities are infested with any life stage of exotic phytophagous snails, such shipment shall be found in violation of this quarantine.

(5)

Heliculture Prohibited. Raising, maintaining, selling, shipping and/or holding live exotic phytophagous snails for any purpose within the State of Oregon is prohibited except for species on the approved species list (OAR 603-052-1320 (Approved Species (Non-Regulated))).

(6)

Disposition of Commodities in Violation of the Quarantine. All covered commodities described in section (3) of this rule found to be in violation of this quarantine shall be returned immediately to point of origin by the Oregon receiver, or at the receivers option be destroyed under the supervision of the department, without expense to or indemnity paid by the department.

(7)

Exceptions. Upon request, and upon investigation and finding that unusual circumstances exist justifying such action, the department may issue a permit allowing entry into this state of covered commodities without meeting the requirements of subsection (4)(a) of this rule. However, all conditions specified in the permit shall be met before such permit will be recognized.
