% Explain how you would identify the significant effects. Discuss
% any difficulties in determining the significance of effects in EIA

\textcite{lawrence}

- Significance needs to be determined because: EIA is an open-ended
process and hence some arbitrary limits have to be imposed on the
level of detail, what time period is to be considered, how many
interactions are to be followed, for any of the expected impacts.

- To set these limits, value-laden judgments must be made

- As the determination of significance is inherently subjective, it
should not be an activity performed only by experts and under the
aim/appearance/restriction of objectivity.
