Every fact cited

Lincoln County is one of six counties under South Dakota’s state Plant Pest Quarantine for EAB, alongside Brookings, Minnehaha, Turner, Union, and Grant. DANR’s list of specifically confirmed communities (Baltic, Brandon, Canton, Crooks, Dakota Dunes, Lennox, Sioux Falls, Worthing) doesn’t name Harrisburg directly, but county-level quarantine means the restrictions on moving ash firewood and material still apply here.

Harrisburg has grown rapidly in recent years, meaning a mix of established mature ash on older lots and newer landscaping with little to no ash exposure — the older properties are where monitoring and treatment decisions matter most.

Frequently Asked
01

Is EAB specifically confirmed in Harrisburg, or just the county?

Lincoln County as a whole is under the state quarantine. DANR's list of specifically named confirmed communities in Lincoln County does not include Harrisburg by name in the sources found during research — treat this as county-level quarantine status rather than a confirmed city-specific infestation until verified further.
