| (a) Quarantined infested areas.
(1) Quarantined infested areas, or quarantined areas
(infested geographical areas subject to the quarantine), are those
locations within this state in which the dangerous plant disease is
currently found, from which dissemination of the disease is to be
prevented, and within which the disease is to be managed or eradicated.
(2) The quarantine boundaries found in subsection (b)
of this section are declared to be the boundaries of quarantined infested
areas, or quarantined areas. The department may designate additional
or expanded quarantined infested areas or quarantined areas, or a
reduction of the quarantined area based upon the confirmation of the
presence or absence of the citrus greening. The designations will
be effective upon the posting of the notification of the quarantined
infested areas or quarantined areas on the department's website (http://www.TexasAgriculture.gov).
Notification consists of a map and a description of the quarantined
infested areas or quarantined areas. A printed copy of the notification
is available at the department's Valley Regional Office, 900-B, East
Expressway 83, San Juan, Texas 78217, (956) 787-8866. In addition,
notification will be made through press release by the department.
Each quarantined area is bounded on all sides by a line drawn using
the World Geographic Coordinate System of 1984.
