Operators will be required to comply with these new standards as they need to develop and implement various reservoir mercury management practices. A number of current research projects have demonstrated that some management practices can lead to MeHg reduction, but that there is no standard for the reservoir environment. Research has also indicated that each aquatic environment should be evaluated individually; similar conditions in separate reservoirs have been shown to produce different rates of mercury bi...
