(a) The Department may offer indemnity if funds for indemnity are available, and may require the depopulation of a herd if it determines that one or more of the following apply:
- (1) The herd owner has made a concerted effort to implement an official pseudorabies herd-cleanup plan, but has been unable to eliminate the pseudorabies virus from the herd within the applicable objective time in § 10.22(b) (relating to objectives of plan).
- (2) Failure to depopulate the herd would unreasonably impede the progress or jeopardize the pseudorabies status of the Commonwealth under the Eradication Program.
