Possible uses for stratified random sampling are for spill sites, waste sites, where site-specific management is needed, for atmospheric deposition, in soil sensitivity studies, for effluent and discharge dilution or extinction analysis, and lastly, for modeling. 

The recommendations on water management (Section 3.9) contain some very valuable approaches. The site-specific management requirements of local climate and geography are clearly recognized, as well as the necessity to address salinity on a catchment and community scale. While the standards do not take up the requirement of a watershed-scale approach, they do mention that measures of groundwater recharge and discharge control must be implemented, if salinity is present.

Site-specific health and safety requirements and site personnel, including contractors, are typically held responsible for managing and conducting all activities safely. Every worker should understand that he or she is responsible for sharing in the commitment to a safe workplace. In addition, employees should perform their work in accordance with any applicable laws, regulations, contract provisions, and established site-specific requirements. 

Given that multiple contractor and subcontractor organizations could be involved in work activities, senior management should address any misunderstandings concerning specific operational responsibilities and accountabilities that could cause problems in the administration of site-specific programs. 

If the answer in both cases is "yes," then consider the locd climate. Local cooperation—or lack of it—may he the single most important determinant of site selection, since without it you cannot field a valid test. However if you have kept facility managers informed or involved as the PSM process has gone forward, you should have some ideas about which of them would be par-ticulariy enthusiastic—or otherwise. In addition, having identified site-specific benefits may help you win the support of a manager who might otherwise be reluctant to participate.

The primary objective is to develop an appropriate range of waste management options to be analyzed more fully in the detailed analysis phase of the FS.12 Appropriate waste management ensures the protection of human health and the environment. It may involve, depending on site-specific circumstances, complete elimination or destruction of hazardous substances at the site, significant reduction of concentrations of hazardous substances to acceptable health-based levels, and prevention of exposure to hazardous substances via engineering or institutional controls, or some combination of the above. 

U.S. EPA s recommendations regarding stack emission tests, which may be performed at hazardous waste combustion facilities for the purpose of supporting MACT standards and multipathway, site-specific risk assessments, where such a risk assessment has been determined to be necessary by the permit authority, can be found in the U.S. EPA document on Risk Burn Guidance for Hazardous Waste Combustion Facilities.32 The applicability of the new standards has been demonstrated in the management of hazardous waste incinerators, whose performance was shown to clearly surpass the regulatory requirements in all tested areas.33... 

Conservative is used to define orchard and management factors that once introduced cannot, or are extremely difficult to, change or require substantial additional investment to do so. Among these are soil and other site-specific conditions, choice of variety/cultivar and rootstock, planting density and tree canopy formation, system stabilisation measures at orchard set-up and installations to buffer extreme events. 

Abstract The Ebro river basin is one of the most studied basins in Spain. The Confederation Hidrografica del Ebro (CHE), which is the organization in charge of the management of the basin, has different control networks that are operative since 1992. Besides these control networks, there is also a contribution of scientific studies since 1988 to know the distribution of persistent organic pollutants in the basin. Most of these studies are site specific or consider only one family of compounds. Recently, some scientific studies have focused on the basin as a whole, considering several compounds and matrices. 

Commercial and sport fishing The management goal in relation to this use is the maintenance and/or restoration of the diversity of the communities of importance to fishery, such as fish-food organisms and site-specific fish populations including the conditions for their natural reproduction.

Abstract The feasibility of a method of concentrate management depends on a wide range of factors. The selection is very much site specific, and for each site often only one or two concentrate management options are feasible. Of particular importance is the quality of the concentrate, the cost of the process, any potential environmental impacts and regulations surrounding the method of concentrate management.
