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