How many violations have been issued to Queen Central awardees this year?
Javier Lojan
0:38:29
So one of the highlights of our implementation and presence in Queen Central has been our enforcement mechanism.
0:38:39
So since as of today and since the September, we've issued a 97 violations to Queen Central awardees for both vehicle and traffic law violations and environmental control board violations.
0:38:55
So and and and just to give you a little bit of sense of what those are made up of, two of those violations were issued to ZWZ awardees for their vehicles engaging in a pattern of unsafe practices and then a big part of those were for truck spillage.

One of the things I do want to highlight which so we're in April and we started in September right.
0:39:18
So pre implementation was about four months and now we're post implementation, so now we're in on the so about the same time.
0:39:25
So in 2024 when we our presence started out there, we found that the Carter's out there were in compliance, meaning we went out and made observations that were in compliance for seventeen days.
0:39:38
And then now in 2025, they've been in compliance for thirty eight days, which shows a nice drastic change in that.
0:39:47
And I think that they see us out there, they know we're out there, and I and I think that's a really good story as commercial waste zone.
0:39:55
One of the one of the obviously priorities were safety.
0:39:58
So we are focusing on that and we are issuing violations to the Carter's.
