Haanstad, DPC. <br />Cooperative Emerald Ash Borer trapping in the 2017 season was again accomplished and followed the <br />national EAB trapping program as designed by the USDA Forest Service (see Tables 10, and 11). Traps <br />were placed in ash trees in wood land situations within squares determined by the program and where <br />requested by cooperators. Cooperators were to determine prior to the season whether or not some squares <br />needed to be omitted from trapping because they were inaccessible. When attempting to placetraps in the <br />accessible program squares, some of the squares were found to not contain ash trees and were omitted. <br />These omitted traps were placed elsewhere by the cooperators. <br />Nine (9) Tribal cooperators placed 41 EAB traps. One (1) State cooperatorplaced 12 EAB traps. See <br />Table 9 for a summary of the EAB traps placed by county. See Table 10 for a summary of the EAB traps <br />placed by agency. One (1) EAB suspect was noted amongst the insects captured in a trap placed in <br />cooperation with the Prairie Island Sioux Community. This EAB suspect positive trap was located in the <br />EAB quarantine area in Goodhue County. All PPQ cooperator EAB trapping data will be entered into <br />IPHIS. Table 12 summarizes the buprestid insects found in cooperator traps. The non-EAB specimens <br />were sent to James Zablotny for identification. The EAB specimen was sent to Bobby Brown for <br />identification. The EAB specimen was confirmed as EAB. <br />Afollowing map shows the location of EAB traps placed by all Tribes/Cooperating Agencies. <br />Table 10.
