The California Department of Agriculture says it has expanded the boundary of the state’s huanglongbing or HLB quarantine in Orange and Riverside counties. The state added the Capistrano Beach area of Orange County and the Murrieta area of Riverside County.

The new areas include grids 483 and 498 on the agency’s boundary map.

CDFA says this boundary expansion also includes the agency’s Asian Citrus Psyllid Bulk Citrus Regional Quarantine Zone 6 to reflect the new quarantine boundary.

This follows recent quarantine expansions in the Riverside area of Riverside County, the San Clemente area of Orange and San Diego counties and the Perris area of Riverside County.
