It has all sorts of specific instructions about how much to spread, how soon before/after rain, how close to waterways & drains, sweep up any that gets on sidewalks, etc. Tons of words. Also in Spanish.

There’s more than one definition of regulation.

One being “the act of controlling or supervising”. If you define regulation as the act of making rules? Then yeah there’s not much to talk about.

But if we’re talking about controlling, throttling, or supervising, we aren’t seeing much of that.

Having some words written somewhere is hardly regulating anything. Regulation requires control.
