<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan <br />City of St. Anthony Village, MN <br />WSB Project No. 022315-000 Page 10 <br />Figure 2: Percentage of Counties Infested with <br /> EAB by Years of Infestation <br /> <br /> <br />There are several well-recognized BMPs that will help space out City funding <br />dedicated to the mitigation efforts over time, preserve public safety, tree <br />benefits, and aesthetics. In summary, these are the most powerful BMPs that St. <br />Anthony Village will utilize: <br /> Proactively monitor and inspect for the pest on City property. <br /> Use trunk-injected insecticide (emamectin benzoate or similar formulations) to <br />preserve high value public ash trees and suppress the EAB population. <br /> Encourage private (non-City) property owners to treat any high-value “good” <br />and “fair” condition ash so they can continue to provide benefits to the <br />community. <br /> Encourage private (non-City) property owners to continue to treat their high <br />value ash every 2 years so they can continue to provide benefits to the <br />community. <br /> Engage in structured removals of dead/poor/fair condition ash trees and those <br />too small to inject (less than 10”DBH) on public property and remove EAB <br />infested trees when they are found. <br />This section describes each of these management practices accepted by the three <br />main agencies researching EAB in Minnesota and how they apply to the City of St. <br />Anthony Village. <br />
