APHIS Updates Federal Domestic Soil Quarantine Map
Published: Jan 14, 2022
APHIS updated the Federal Domestic Soil Quarantines Map to include the following changes:
- Removed the Giant African Snail (GAS) quarantine in zones E, X, and Z of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida. GAS is now fully eradicated from the continental U.S.
APHIS restricts the movement of domestic soil from areas within the continental United States that are under quarantine for specific plant pests. The Federal Domestic Soil Quarantines Map provides an overview of the plant pest quarantines that affect the movement of soil.
This map is a general guidance tool only. Please contact your local APHIS State Plant Health Director for specific quarantine information, including quarantine boundaries and the requirements for moving domestic soil.
