Considering the nature of the proposed development and its activities, the EIA has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements of existing national legislations, of which the National Environmental Assessment Policy (1995), the Environmental Management Act (2007) and its regulations of 2012, and other relevant legislations and regulations pertaining to Environmental Assessments and protection of the environment in the Republic of Namibia are considered most important. Some existing international policies are also taken into account and are used as guidelines. Impacts identified from baseline studies, site visits and stakeholder consultation process have been assessed making use of a comprehensive assessment methodology as provided by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) of Namibia. This included looking at impact significance through, its nature, extent, duration, probability and intensity. Major issues or impacts identified are soil, surface and ground water impacts; air quality (including dust pollution); ecological impacts; risk of fires and explosions; hygiene and health impact; heritage impacts; generation of waste; traffic safety, especially during construction; noise pollution; safety and security; and cumulative impacts. These impacts are assessed in each of the three stages of project development namely, construction, operation and decommissioning phases. Socio-economic impacts amongst others include creation of part-time and permanent employment opportunities and economic spin-offs for the local businesses and suppliers. Cumulative impacts expected as a result of the proposed fuel retail facility include, dust and exhaust emissions from vehicles frequenting the facility during all phases of the development, coupled with the existing emissions from vehicles in the surrounding areas, the air quality will be impacted. A slight traffic nuisance might be experienced by motorists using the nearby roads. This will most likely be caused by slow moving vehicles frequenting the construction site. Minor leakages from the operations of the facility may result in a collective long-term significant impact on the groundwater. In general, impacts are expected to be low to medium, mostly short lived and site specific. Mitigation options recommended in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will guide and ensure that the impacts of the construction work are minimised. All environmental risks can be minimised and managed through implementation of preventative measures and sound management systems. Environmental audits should be carried out to ensure compliance of the EMP and environmental regulations of Namibia. 1 Environmental Impact Assessment - Proposed Fuel Retail Facility in Khomasdal, Windhoek Matrix Consulting Services TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ..................................................................................................................... 1 GLOSSARY OF TERMS ...................................................................................................................... 5 1.

Our goal was to follow up on a previous study to determine the public perception of the treatment process and the water quality. The broader sample portrayed a lack of awareness of this process and its end product. We recommend the City of Windhoek develop educational campaigns that inform its citizens about the water reclamation process and its benefits. i Executive Summary Introduction and Background Namibia is among the most arid countries in southern Africa. Though it receives an average of 360mm of rainfall each year, 83 percent of this water evaporates immediately after rainfall. Another 14 percent goes towards vegetation, and 1 percent supplies the ground water in the region, thus leaving merely 2 percent for surface use.

  • Erosion Control in Otjomuise, Namibia
    2008 Erosion Control in Otjomuise, Namibia Marissa Gray, Jennifer Keating, Jocelyn Moody, and Daniel Swan Worcester Polytechnic Institute 5/20/2008 CXP Project Number: 51-SBS-8880 43-0803 Erosion Control in Otjomuise, Namibia An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Marissa Gray Jennifer Keating Jocelyn Moody Daniel Swan Date: May 20, 2008 Approved: Professor Creighton Peet, Major Advisor Professor Reinhold Ludwig, Co-Advisor ii Abstract The settlements in Windhoek, Namibia are plagued by erosion problems resulting from severe rainstorms and inefficient use of rainwater. This project focused on the community of Otjomuise, and how various erosion control measures can be implemented to reverse the effects of erosion and utilize rainwater for productive purposes. Working with community members we constructed several structures that served as replicable demonstrations for residents of Otjomuise and surrounding settlements. By working alongside the community we helped mobilize an effort toward erosion control and prevention and effectively improved the sustainability of future projects. iii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people for their contributions to the project: Our sponsors, Professor Jane Gold of the Polytechnic of Namibia and Ms. Anna Müller of the Namibian Housing Action Group; Our advisors, Professor Creighton Peet and Professor Reinhold Ludwig from Worcester Polytechnic Institute; A special thanks to Laudika Kandjinga and Andreas Shigwedha from the Polytechnic of Namibia; Professor Ibo Zimmerman and Professor Collert Moyo from the Polytechnic of Namibia; The transportation staff at the Polytechnic of Namibia; The Namibia Housing Action Group and a special thanks to David Shikoyeni; The Shack Dweller’s Federation of Namibia; A special thanks to Sammi of the Shack Dweller’s Federation of Namibia; A special thanks to Edlagh Ujava of Otjomuise; Dr.
