| Summary: | The influence of incomplete or unavailable information on environmental impact assessment in the USA is examined. The central thesis of the paper revolves around a frequent dilemma those scientists face: how to proceed with the environmental impact analysis when information on potential impacts is incomplete or unavailable.
