对环境影响评估（EIA）实践的审查，特别是工业支持者的审查，突出了共同的不足之处。环境影响评估将受益于更多的“常识”，这不是很常见。例如，问题范围通常包括太多无关紧要的因素，以及不直接影响项目决策的问题。对重要性的考虑往往是模糊的、误导的或前后不一致的。环境影响报告书的质量有待提高，环境影响报告书文件对利益相关者用处不大。环境影响评估指南是一个可能的解决办法，但并不总是重点突出或适用合理。虽然我们建议政府环评监管机构向项目倡议者发出更有效的信号，以克服这些困难，但我们的主要目的是引发讨论，并促使从业人员采取行动，提高环评的质量和完整性。
Reviews of environmental impact assessment (EIA) practice, particularly by industrial proponents, have highlighted common shortfalls. EIA would benefit from more ‘common sense’, which is not very common. For example, issue scoping usually includes too many inconsequential factors, and issues not directly affecting project decisions. Consideration of significance is often vague, misleading or inconsistent. Quality of environmental impact statements (EISs) leaves much to be desired, with EIS documents of little use to stakeholders. EIA guidance is a possible solution but is not always focused or applied sensibly. While we suggest more effective signals from government EIA regulators to project proponents to overcome these difficulties, our primary intention is to evoke discussion and provoke practitioners to take up the fight to improve the quality and integrity of EIAs.
