2. Impact identification and classification:
When considering the location of a ULG investment project, rate the sensitivity of the proposed
site in the following table according to the given criteria. Higher ratings do not necessarily mean
that a site is unsuitable. They do indicate a real risk of causing undesirable adverse
environmental and social effects, and that more substantial environmental and/or social
planning may be required to adequately avoid, mitigate or manage potential effects. The
following table should be used as a reference.
