Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partially disagrees, linking a City list of licensed haulers and explaining regional/state advocacy because haulers cross city boundaries.

Audit analysis

A linked licensing list is checkable, but the response does not explain how it establishes substantive regulation beyond the construction-debris exception.
