Your input is requested!

As the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) prepares to move forward with amending emerald ash borer rules, we seek input on what approach the public supports. The two options the DACF is currently considering are:


* *"Option 1: Draft new quarantine rules based on current knowledge of EAB distribution and buffer area. "*
* *"Option 2: Repeal the EAB quarantine rules."*

Both options will require rulemaking, providing an opportunity for formal public comment. We would also welcome input on other possibilities we have not considered. 

*Please consider providing input through our online form. [ [link removed] ]*
