The only thing I can add is info about adult flight season. It is roughly May through August. Movement of wood during the rest of the year doesn't carry serious risk as long as wood is processed before the adults emerge again in May and all quarantine regulations are followed. Good points!

These adults would then lay eggs and infest other nearby ash trees, which will then greatly impact communities' management strategies and budgets. EAB is an extremely insidious pest which multiplies at an estimated minimum of ten fold per year. When removing infested ash during the adult flight season, please try to have all ash debris processed to a deregulated state on site if at all possible. This would be for example chipping of all debris to less than one inch in two dimensions. (Many chippers, if well maintained, chip to less than one inch in two dimensions.) During flight season one must cover all unprocessed material that is removed from the site of the ash tree removal with a tightly bound tarp or in an enclosed container. This material can not be removed from the regulated area and should be processed to a deregulated state immediately upon destination arrival. The destination site must be a company working in compliance with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Please go this site http://www.illinoiseab.com/ for the Illinois Department of Agriculture Emerald Ash Borer Compliance agreement anyone taking down or removing an ash tree should have a copy on file with the State, make sure you ask for the document If your trees are infested please read below

Any suggestions on where to start? One has well over an 8' section and is quite large. We have 2 downed ash trees on our property. Any suggestions on where to start?
