Surveys conducted in Pennsylvania during the summer of 2009 also detected the emerald ash borer in Washington, Armstrong, and Indiana counties. Juniata County was added late in 2009 to the list of Pennsylvania counties that are under an order of quarantine for the emerald ash borer. In May 2010 the emerald ash borer was detected in Bedford County. As of mid-June 2010 a total of 12 Pennsylvania counties are now under an order of quarantine for the emerald ash borer.
As a result, a state-imposed quarantine has been issued restricting the movement of all ash nursery stock, green lumber, and other ash material (including logs, branches, wood chips, and firewood).
