As in all scientific-based decision-making, the methodologies used in environmental assessment must be as objective as possible. Applying hypothetico-deductive (h-d) scientific procedures to information used in environmental evaluation may contribute to the objectivity. This process involves identification of development site or plan alternatives which are tested by attempting to falsify each one on the basis of equivalent criteria and data. The h-d process has applications in watershed planning, solid-waste management site selection and forest management
