Abstract “Environmental Impact Assessment Law (EIA)” issued in 2003 has been playing an important role ever since, but there is no denying that it has many drawbacks. Most notably, environmental assessment agencies are affiliated with environmental administrative departments. The impact appraisal reports and conclusions made by the former are subject to the examination and approval of the latter. This self-assessment mechanism is a bottleneck that hinders the function of the environmental impact appraisal system. Throughout different environmental impact appraisal systems in the world, the jobs of making reports, drawing conclusions, and giving approval are independent of one another and involve broad-based participation. Therefore, we should perfect specialist appraisal institutions, establish independent advisory councils on the environment, reform the environmental approval mechanism, increase public participation, and “decouple the environmental assessment agencies from environmental administrative departments ” and not the reverse, and all that makes our direction and path choice in the reform the environmental impact appraisal system.
