ABSTRACT
In an impact assessment study, after the various areas of impact are studied, all the “threads” are joined again to arrive at an overall assessment, and the whole discussion must be presented in a report containing the main points of all the areas covered, following specific guidelines. The report as a whole is also the subject of scrutiny as part of the control process, and this is discussed in this chapter. The review of environmental statements is really a completely different stage in the process and requires also a completely different approach, which we can use now to finish our discussion on different types of expert systems for impact assessment.
