Emamectin Benzoate (TREE-age) $7 - $16/diameter inch at breast height Imidacloprid (Merit) $5 - $8/diameter inch at breast height 5. Wood Utilization Currently (name of city) manages a compost site that is open for public use. There are also similar compost sites in the cities of Zimmerman, Big Lake, Becker and Elk River. Wood waste collected at these sites is contracted to be ground by a private company on an as needed basis during the summer. Ground material is taken off site; then processed into various grades of mulch. In the face of EAB, (city staff/department) will investigate the process necessary to acquire permit/license needed to store wood infected with EAB. The Urban Forestry Committee will contact GRE in Elk River to discuss the potential for them to accept ash material when volumes overwhelm the capacity of the compost sites. Creative, innovate ideas will be considered for utilizing large diameter ash logs. Through collaborative efforts of the Urban Forestry Committee the city will pursue contracts with sawmills that are within the county or in other quarantined counties that share a boundary with Sherburne. The list for the Metro and surrounding areas will be referred to: http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/um/twincities sawmill drykiln listing.pdf Monitoring & Reporting The Sherburne County Urban Forestry Committee will coordinate an annual volunteer monitoring survey with volunteers. 1.

The city will participate in and support public outreach through current media. 3. Priority areas to monitor include parks (provide names) and golf course (provide name)- around compost sites. 4. Through the media homeowners will be encouraged to visually survey their trees for signs associated with EAB. 5.
