Food & Agr. Code, § 29208
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
(a) If abatement is by burning or hazardous waste disposal, the person abating shall act in accordance with applicable air pollution control district or air quality maintenance district regulations and state and local fire control laws. If the regulations or laws prohibit burning immediately, the diseased colonies shall be sealed and placed in an enclosed structure and thereafter burned on the first date allowed by the regulation or law. All the activities shall be reported to the inspector before burning or disposal, who may require that burning or disposal occur only under the inspector’s supervision.
(b) The inspector’s supervision shall be in addition to, but not in conflict with, the applicable air pollution control district or air quality management district regulations and fire control laws. Burning or disposal without the knowledge of the inspector is a violation of this section.
(c) If abatement is by delivery to a licensed wax salvage plant, the person abating shall provide the inspector with information as to the date and location of delivery.
(d) If the inspector determines that abatement by burning or hazardous waste disposal is appropriate, the inspector’s costs for supervising the burning or disposal shall be borne by the beekeeper with the diseased hives.
(e) In lieu of the methods prescribed pursuant to Section 29151, operations to abate diseased colonies may be performed by any hazardous waste facility authorized to operate under Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100) of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code.
