LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 287, as introduced, Dodd. Habitat restoration: invasive species: Phytophthora pathogers.Existing law establishes the Department of Fish and Wildlife and sets forth the powers and duties of the department with regard to the implementation and administration of, among other things, projects and programs to protect wildlife and wildlife habitat in the state.This bill would require the department, on or before December 31, 2019, to adopt regulations to minimize the risk of Phytophthora pathogens in plant materials used for habitat restoration projects authorized, funded, or required by the state.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(1) Phytophthora, the Latin term for plant destroyer, is a microscopic plant pathogen that can severely damage or kill a wide variety of agricultural, ornamental, and native plants.(2) Phytophthora infestans caused the Great Irish Potato Famine from 1845 to 1849, and Phytophthora ramorum is the pathogen that causes sudden oak death, which has devastated oak and tanoak populations in coastal California and southwest Oregon.(3) The presence of root-rotting Phytophthora species in commercial ornamental plant nurseries has been known for some time, but more recently, a wide variety of Phytophthora species have been identified in habitat restoration plantings and native plant nurseries in California.(4) Native plants have no resistance to these introduced pathogens, so they can cause great damage to our wildlands.

| 86 | - | (1) Phytophthora species, or plant destroyers, in Greek, are microscopic plant pathogens that can severely damage or kill a wide variety of agricultural, ornamental, and forest plants, including native vegetation. | |
| 87 | - | ||
| 88 | - | (2) Phytophthora infestans caused the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s, and Phytophthora ramorum causes sudden oak death, which has killed millions of oaks and tanoaks in coastal California and southwest Oregon. | |
| 89 | - | ||
| 90 | - | (3) The presence of root-rotting Phytophthora species in commercial horticultural plant nurseries has been well documented over many years, but recently well over 50 Phytophthora species have been found in habitat restoration plantings and native plant nurseries in California. These include Phytophthora species detected for the first time in the United States and new hybrid species. | |
| 91 | - | ||
| 92 | - | (4) Restoration plantings can inadvertently introduce Phytophthora species into the soil, contaminating pristine areas, or the limited habitats of threatened, rare, or sensitive plants. Planting pathogen-infected nursery stock in native habitats is the most direct means of introducing invasive exotic diseases into wildlands. | |
| 93 | - | ||
| 94 | - | (5) Many native plants have little or no natural resistance to these introduced pathogens. Introduction of Phytophthora pathogens can cause the destruction of native habitat and the mortality of endangered species, and is counter to the goals of restoration. | |
| 95 | - | ||
| 96 | - | (6) Once these pathogens are introduced into the wildlands, parks, open space areas, or wetlands, they are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate. | |
| 97 | - | ||
| 98 | - | (7) Use of Phytophthora-infested nursery stock in habitat restoration projects increases long-term costs of restoring these habitats due to high rates of plant failure, reduced growth, and future costs to remediate contaminated sites. Adjacent native vegetation is put at risk to infection. | |
| 99 | - | ||
| 100 | - | (8) The best defense against Phytophthora pathogens becoming established in wildlands is to prevent their inadvertent introduction via infested nursery stock. | |
| 101 | - | ||
| 102 | - | (9) State agencies promote the use of nursery stock in wildlands through their vegetative cover standards for habitat restoration projects. | |
| 103 | - | ||
| 104 | - | (10) No existing state regulations prevent or discourage the use of Phytophthora-infected nursery stock in habitat restoration projects. | |
| 105 | 67 | ||
| 106 | 68 | (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that all of the following occur: | |
| 107 | 69 | ||
| 108 | 70 | (1) The spread of harmful plant pathogens in our wildlands be avoided in state actions that authorize, fund, or require habitat restoration in California. | |
