WAC 16-301-420
Quarantine -- Exceptions and exemptions. (1) Bean seed planted for harvest as green beans for cannery
or freezing, otherwise in compliance with this quarantine, is
not required to be entered into an inspection program except
that the department reserves the right to request complete
listing and location of all the plantings and other
information the department may deem necessary. Further, if at
any time prior to harvest, the grower decides that the
plantings are not to be harvested as green beans, the
department must be notified and the plantings placed under an
inspection program. In order for the plantings to be accepted
into the inspection program, the plantings must be at a state
of maturity that allows for the proper identification of
regulated diseases.
(2) This quarantine does not apply to the shipment,
movement, or transportation of beans prepackaged in packages
of eight ounces or less for home garden use in the regulated
area if the beans are free of diseases.
