Section 570.145 - Procedure when infested or infected shipment can be separated.

When, in the judgment of the inspector, materials not infested or infected can be separated from the infested or infected article without danger of escape from such article of the insects, their eggs, larvae or pupae, diseases or other plant pests and the owner, person, firm or corporation having control or possession of such articles desires to separate as instructed, the officer making the inspection shall give permission in writing to make such separation within a specified time and at the expense of the owner or responsible party who authorized the separation and under the supervision of such official or some person authorized by the inspector to exercise such supervision. Whenever the official who makes such inspection has other official work awaiting and it appears that the time required for separating and destroying such articles may exceed one hour, the official may authorize and deputize some proper person to supervise the separation of the infested or infected articles from the uninfested or uninfected articles and the destruction of the infested and infected articles. The person so authorized shall be paid by the owner or the party who authorized the separation, or by both, for services while supervising the separation and destruction of such articles.
