There is no mention that a prior hazard assessment will be acceptable. It is only common sense that OSHA would not expect employers with a previously documented hazard assessment program that meets the new requirements to perform another assessment. Yet there is no way of knowing if this will be acceptable. Employers should use good judgment on what is an effective hazard assessment. Bear in mind, hazard assessment should incorporate any applicable American National Standards...

The basis for assessment of river quality is valid data, but the question of data validity is secondary to the fundamental question What is the purpose of the river quality assessment activity What questions are being asked In short the means are determined by the ends. If, for example, the intent of an assessment program is to ascertain compliance with law, then a fixed interval "grab sampling program could be established at various river system sites selected on the basis of established guidelines which are consistent with the... 

Although a number of papers have commented on the possible deficiencies of ambient fixed-station monitory networks, (17-19) more recent papers have recognized the primary difficulty as a failure to identify what questions are being asked that the monitoring and assessment program is supposed to answer (20-24).

To assess changes in mercuiy concentrations in the environment, it is important to have a baseline from which to measure change. Due to the fact that mercuiy emissions have already been reduced from a number of sectors in the United States, and that further emission reductions are expected from power plants over the next few decades, it is critical that an assessment program be implemented soon. 

It is recommended that federal and state agencies work with each other and with other interested organizations to develop a broad consortium to support and guide this monitoring and assessment program.
