FYI, the USDA has inspection done prior to any cutting and transport. The USFS administrates the harvest.
The USFS can only regulate what it controls. "Any" is a very big word and it doesn't apparently apply in my neck of the nation when logging. Logging trucks are going all over the place long distances in this state.
If you're concerned about logging in your area, contact a local mill and ask them about disease restrictions and transport. Not all trees being cut and transported are diseased or affected by pests. I'm not familiar with logging in your area but I would assume the bulk of it has nothing to do with Ash, most likely Spruce, Pine , and Fir.
