B. Certificates: An inspection certificate may be issued certifying the movement of regulated articles in compliance with these rules, for the current growing season, if an authorized representative of the department determines:

(1) adequate measures have been taken to ensure that there will be little or no danger of increased infestation of the quarantined pest or expansion of a regulated area by such movement; or

(2) the articles have been treated to eliminate infestation of the quarantined pest, for a specific location; or

(3) such movement will not result in the spread or increased infestation of the quarantined pest. Any certificate may be withdrawn or canceled if an authorized representative of the department determines that the use of the issued certificate may result in the spread of the quarantined pest.
