PULP MILLS (JUDGMENT) 85 and, secondly, whether the particular location chosen for the siting of the plant, in this case Fray Bentos, was unsuitable for the construction of a plant discharging industrial effluent of this nature and on this scale, or could have a harmful impact on the river. 210. Regarding the first point, the Court has already indicated that the Espoo Convention is not applicable to the present case (see paragraph 205 above) ; while with respect to the UNEP Goals and Principles to which Argentina has referred, whose legal character has been described in paragraph 205 above, the Court recalls that Principle 4 (c) simply provides that an environmental impact assessment should include, at a minimum, “[a] description of practical alternatives, as appropriate”. It is also to be recalled that Uruguay has repeatedly indicated that the suitability of the Fray Bentos location was comprehensively assessed and that other possible sites were considered. The Court further notes that the IFC’s Final Cumulative Impact Study of September 2006 (hereinafter “CIS”) shows that in 2003 Botnia evaluated four locations in total at La Paloma, at Paso de los Toros, at Nueva Palmira, and at Fray Bentos, before choosing Fray Bentos. The evaluations concluded that the limited amount of fresh water in La Paloma and its importance as a habitat for birds rendered it unsuitable, while for Nueva Palmira its consideration was discouraged by its proximity to residential, recreational, and culturally important areas, and with respect to Paso de los Toros insufficient flow of water during the dry season and potential conflict with competing water uses, as well as a lack of infrastructure, led to its exclusion. Consequently, the Court is not convinced by Argentina’s argument that an assessment of possible sites was not carried out prior to the determination of the final site. 211. Regarding the second point, the Court cannot fail to note that any decision on the actual location of such a plant along the River Uruguay should take into account the capacity of the waters of the river to receive, dilute and disperse discharges of effluent from a plant of this nature and scale. 212. The Court notes, with regard to the receiving capacity of the river at the location of the mill, that the Parties disagree on the geomorphological and hydrodynamic characteristics of the river in the relevant area, particularly as they relate to river flow, and how the flow of the river, including its direction and its velocity, in turn determines the dispersal and dilution of pollutants. The differing views put forward by the Parties with regard to the river flow may be due to the different modelling systems which each has employed to analyse the hydrodynamic features of the River Uruguay at the Fray Bentos location. Argentina implemented a three-dimensional modelling that measured speed and direction at ten different depths of the river and used a sonar — an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (hereafter 75
