Contract Number: K2284 ATTACHMENT A Plan of Work Kittitas County and its agent the Kittitas County Horticultural Pest and Disease Board Apple Maggot Control and Eradication July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019 Kittitas County will conduct pest prevention/control activities on apple maggot (Rhagoletis 12omonella) in Kittitas County, Washington in accordance with chapter 15.09 RCW. This effort is focused on containing existing populations identified by WSDA, preventing establishment and possible spreading to adjacent areas and eradicating new infestations where possible. WSDA will conduct an apple maggot detection program in Kittitas County and will provide a list of all new positive sites to the Kittitas County Horticultural Pest and Disease Board Control Coordinator (hereafter known as the control coordinator). Kittitas County will contract for apple maggot control services for infestations known or discovered in Kittitas County. The Kittitas County control coordinator and contractor(s) will use an integrated pest management approach that incorporates tree and/or fruit removal, and insecticide application. Kittitas County will ensure contracting procedures are in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. All control methods employed will be consistent with the rules and regulations of Washington State and Kittitas County. No tools or equipment will be purchased as a part of this agreement. Any contractor(s) providing apple maggot control services will be required to work closely with the control coordinator. The control coordinator will consult with the WSDA project entomologist based in Yakima or his/her supervisor, or the Pest Program Manager in Olympia, prior to apple maggot control activity (including insecticide application) at any site. The contractor(s) will be available to be active in the field from approximately July 10 through September 30, 2017 and July 10 through September 30, 2018. The apple maggot flight season, control methods available and site conditions may cause these dates to vary slightly. DELIVERABLES On or before December 15, 2017, and again on or before December 15, 2018, the control coordinator will submit a written report to the WSDA Agreement administrator, documenting, at a minimum, the following information for each site on which apple maggot control activity occurs: location of site, date(s) of the control effort(s), type of control effort (i.e. tree removal, fruit removal, insecticide application) and results insofar as can be determined of the control effort. Copies of all commercial pesticide application records will be attached to the report. All reports of unusual or unanticipated effects on the environment and reports of negative human health effects shall also be reported to WSDA immediately upon discovery. The Kittitas County Apple Maggot Control and Eradication Program will be coordinated with state, local, and private control efforts. Page 1 of 1
