An EIA report is typically consist of the following key elements:
In the following section, you will learn to understand more about the technical aspects of the EIA reports. In addition, you will learn about the techniques used to identify, predict and evaluate different types of impacts.

Below are some tips for project proponent on reviewing an report.
- Understand the assumptions made in the report.
- Do you agree and accept the assumptions?
- Are the assumptions realistic and practicable?
- Assumptions include: plant schedule, plant inventory, construction methods, construction period, dredging rate, traffic data, discharge rate, operating hours, etc.
- Check whether Study Brief and TM requirements are met.
- Ask yourself common sense questions
- need for the project
- consideration of alternatives
- what have been done to avoid and minimize the environmental impacts?
- are the proposed mitigation measures practicable and effective, whether these measures successfully used in practice?(programme, cost, land availability, engineering feasibility, etc may be considered)
- who are the responsible parties for implementing and maintaining the measures?
- review the implementation schedule of mitigation measures recommended in the EIA report
- whether cumulative impacts have been adequately addressed?
- Conduct site visit to confirm
- assumptions
- background environmental situations
- sensitive receivers
