A safety person must be maintained on-site; OSHA and EPA compliance is mandatory. Monthly subcontractor payment reporting is required.

Subcontractors intending to use subcontracted work must commit at least 50 percent of subcontracted value to SWaM-certified businesses or document good faith efforts to meet this requirement.
