Abstract: The Sample Design database for Agrilus planipennis was produced for the Conterminous United States
(CUS) in by the U.S. Forest Service, Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team’s (FHTET) Agrilus planipennis
Steering Committee. The Sample Design database is intended to provide guidance for the detection and monitoring of Agrilus planipennis, based on pest risk, during the 2013 EAB field season.

Abstract:
The 2013 sample design product for Agrilus planipennis (A. planipennis), the Emerald Ash Borer
(EAB) is intended to help prioritize and standardize pest detection and monitoring based on pest risk.
Suggested trap locations for the 2013 EAB field season were generated using the FHTET sample design tool (FHTET 2012). The FHTET sample design tool prioritizes the selection of sample locations for detection and survey activities based on pest risk. Sample location selection is conducted in ArcGIS 10.0 using the
"Create Spatially Balanced Sample" tool which generates spatially balanced sample points based on an inclusion probability surface. The inclusion probability surface determines the likelihood that a given location will be randomly selected based on the risk of EAB introduction and establishment. The EAB Risk
Assessment 2013 (Downing et al. 2012) product was used to create the inclusion probability surface in the
EAB 2013 sample design.
At the request of APHIS, potential sample areas were restricted to locations that intersected roads
(ESRI 2010) and were likely to contain ash host species (Ellenwood 2012). EAB infested, assumed infested, and quarantined counties (Bopp 2012, Withrow 2012), along with omitted and voided locations from the 2012 field season (Kowalski 2012), were excluded from the potential sample area. A total of
20,000 primary sample locations, with an additional 4,000 replacement locations were generated.
Samples were distributed evenly with half falling within and the other half outside a 100 mile buffer from excluded counties. Each sample location represents a 1 km 2 monitoring efforts are recommended to occur.

Purpose:
The Sample Design database is intended to provide guidance for the detection and monitoring of Agrilus
planipennis, based on pest risk, during the 2013 EAB field season.

OBJECTID- Feature class unique object identification number
Shape- Designates the feature class type… ie. Polygon or Point
ID- Unique cell identification number obtained from the FHTET National Sample Design 1km 2
(US_1km_plot_grid_ID).
Grid
POINT_X- Plot centroid x coordinate... NAD_1983_Albers, Linear Unit Meter
POINT_Y- Plot centroid y coordinate... NAD_1983_Albers, Linear Unit Meter
CELL_NAME- Unique sample plot name generated by concatenating the following fields: [STATE] & "-" &
[CNTY_FIPS] & "-" & [ID]
CNTY_FIPS- County FIPS code in which the sample location is contained
NAME- County name in which the sample location is contained (defined by plot centroid)
ST_ABRV- U.S. State in which the sample location is contained (defined by plot centroid)
Species- Abbreviation representing the species of interest that the sample design was developed for.
Buffer_100mile- Designates if the sample plot falls within or beyond the 100 mile buffer from infested or quarantined counties. Records with “IN” entered in the Buffer_100mile field are within the 100 mile buffer.
Records with “OUT” are located beyond the 100 mile buffer.
Shape_Length- Length of shape perimeter in meters
Shape_Area- Area of shape in meters
Replacement- Designates if a record is part of the 4,000 replacement trap locations provided. A value of
1 represents replacement traps. (Note: this field is only provided in the replacement trap datasets…
EAB_2013_add_4000_plots and EAB_2013_add_4000_pnts.
Inclusion- The Inclusion field contains the inclusion probability raster value for each sample plot. The inclusion probability value determines the probability that a grid cell will be randomly selected for inclusion in the sample design. Since the EAB sample design inclusion raster is based on EAB risk, higher EAB risk increases the probability that a sample location will be included in the sample design. Note: The Inclusion field is only provided in the point version of the sample design datasets.
