[MAIPC] MD Weed Risk Assessment regs posted for comment

[Kerrie L. Kyde -DNR-]

Hi,

With apologies for cross-postings, attached are draft regulations for the
invasive ornamental plant law in Maryland.  The Invasive Plant Advisory
Committee is seeking your comments.  These regulations cover prohibited
actions for Tier 1 or 2 species, conditions under which approval is given
for prohibited activities, requirements concerning movement and disposal of
Tier 1 species, guidance on proposing changes to the Tiered species list,
and the first species Tier rankings.  The regulations will be submitted for
publication August 3 to appear in the August 21 Maryland Register. Note
that plant species will continue to be added as we complete weed risk
assessments, but it is a time consuming process.  You can see the completed
weed risk assessments at

http://mda.maryland.gov/plants-pests/Pages/maryland_invasive_plants_prevention_and_control.aspx.
We are starting with species on MD DNR's Do Not Plant List.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
