The director finds that certain pests of garlic (Allium
satvium), namely stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus

garlic yellow stripe virus, and pink root (Pyrenochaeta
terrestris), are not known to occur in the garlic production areas of
Mono County specified in (b).
(b) A
quarantine area is established, for the purpose of maintaining the pest
cleanliness of garlic plantings in that area, which, for purposes of this
section, is denominated as follows:
(1)
"Antelope Valley": Beginning at the intersection of the California-Nevada State
Line and the southern portion of Topaz Lake; then southeasterly along said
state line to Eastside Road; then southwesterly along Eastside Road to
Interstate Highway 395; then westerly along an imaginary line to the border of
Toiyabe National Forest; then northerly along an imaginary line to T9N; then
easterly along T9N to Interstate Highway 395; then northerly along said highway
to Topaz Lake; then southeasterly along Topaz Lake to the point of

(2) "Benton, Hammil, and
Chalfant Valleys": Beginning at the intersection of State Highway 6 and the
California-Nevada State Line, then southeasterly along said state line to its
intersection with the Inyo National Forest Boundary, then southerly and

intersects the Inyo National Forest Boundary, then northasterly along said
boundary to its intersection with the California-Nevada State Line, then
southeasterly along said line to the point of beginning.
(c) No garlic plant or part thereof shall be
planted or maintained in any state of cultivation in the quarantine area unless
a written application has been received and a permit has been issued by the
director or the Agricultural Commissioner for Mono County.
Such permit shall be issued provided the garlic is the
progeny of plants tested by the University of California and found free of the
garlic yellow stripe virus; has been produced under the provisions of Section
3044 et seq., "California Certified
Seed Garlic," or is accompanied by a certificate issued by a State or county
agricultural regulatory official verifying the garlic is of equivalent pest
status as garlic produced under said provisions; and provided the director or
commissioner determines the garlic covered by the permit is free of the pests
specified in subsection (a) and other serious pests of garlic.
(d) No person shall bring into the quarantine
area any machinery, parts of machinery, tools, equipment, or other appliances
which have been used in garlic fields outside the quarantine area unless those
appliances have been treated for garlic pests which may be carried on them. The
treatment shall include a high-pressure steam cleaning or washing with water
under pressure to remove all soil and debris, followed by treatment with a
fungicide.
The agricultural commissioner shall be immediately
notified of the arrival in the quarantine area of such appliances which shall
be held for inspection by the commissioner before use in the quarantine area.
If, upon inspection, soil or debris is detected, the appliances shall be
treated, as specified above,or removed from the quarantine
area.
