In order to expedite the elimination of the source of citrus tristeza virus, if it appears to the board that the cost of testing, indexing, or retesting trees to determine infection may exceed the cost of removal, plus the payment of limited compensation, a district may, with the consent of the owner, remove and pay limited compensation pursuant to Section 8553 for trees which have not been determined to be infected with citrus tristeza virus.
