The solar farm will be located within the Farm Wolvehuis 114 on the Remaining Extent of Portion 7 and the Remaining Extent of Portion 21. The proposed project site falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Matlosana Local Municipality and within the greater Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality in the North West Province. The contracted capacity of the solar farm will be up to 100MW and is proposed to accommodate several arrays of tracking or static PV panels and associated infrastructure on the proposed project site. The proposed solar farm is planned to be bid into the Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement (REIPPP) Programme with the aim of evacuating the generated power into the Eskom national electricity grid and aiding in the diversification and stabilisation of the country’s electricity supply. Photovoltaic (PV) technology is proposed to be utilised for the generation of solar electricity. The solar farm will include the following infrastructure: Arrays of PV panels (either a static or tracking PV system) with a capacity of up to 100MW; Mounting structures to support the PV panels; On-site inverters to convert the power from a direct current to an alternating current and a substation to facilitate the connection between the solar farm and the Eskom electricity grid; A new 132kV power line between the on-site substation and the Eskom grid connection point; Cabling between the project components, to be laid underground where practical; Offices and workshop areas for maintenance and storage; Temporary laydown areas; and Internal access roads and fencing around the development area. 2 PURPOSE OF REPORT This report assesses the expected traffic and transport impact during the Construction Phase, Operation Phase and Decommissioning Phase. 3 TRAFFIC SPECIALIST CREDENTIALS This Site Assessment is undertaken by Mr. S Fautley, who is a Professional Engineering Technologist registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). 3 TJ1636WC His career encompasses the civil, traffic and transportation engineering discipline for ten (10) years at the Western Cape Government, 1,5 years with Kantey and Templer Consulting Engineers and 10 years at local authority (City of Cape Town) before joining Techso in 2008, as a Senior Transport Engineer. He has extensive experience in Traffic Impact Assessments, and Site Assessments, including various renewable energy plants in South Africa and is a registered Road Safety Auditor. 4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY This report assesses the expected traffic and transport impact during the Construction Phase, Operation Phase and Decommissioning Phase of the proposed 100MW Orkney Solar Farm. The requirements in the TMH 16 Vol 1 & 2 South African Traffic Impact and Site Traffic Assessment Manual, August 2012, compiled by the Committee of Transport Officials (COTO) were used for this study. The Impact Assessment Methodology assists in evaluating the overall effect of a proposed activity on the environment. The environmental impact is determined through a systematic analysis of the various components of the impact. This is undertaken using information that is available to the environmental practitioner through the process of the environmental impact assessment. The impact evaluation of predicted impacts is undertaken through an assessment of the significance of the impacts. 4.1 Determination of Significance of Impacts Significance is determined through a synthesis of impact characteristics which include context and intensity of an impact. Context refers to the geographical scale i.e. site, local, national or global whereas Intensity is defined by the severity of the impact e.g. the magnitude of deviation from background conditions, the size of the area affected, the duration of the impact and the overall probability of occurrence. Significance is calculated as shown in Section 2.3. Significance is an indication of the importance of the impact in terms of both physical extent and time scale, and therefore indicates the level of mitigation required. The total number of points scored for each impact indicates the level of significance of the impact. 4.2 Impact Rating System Impact assessment must take account of the nature, scale and duration of effects on the environment whether such effects are positive (beneficial) or negative (detrimental). Each issue / impact is also assessed according to the project stages: » Planning (Not applicable in this instance – no traffic impact) » Construction 4 TJ1636WC » Operation » Decommissioning Where necessary, the proposal for mitigation or optimisation of an impact should be detailed. A brief discussion of the impact and the rationale behind the assessment of its significance has also been included. A rating system is used to classify impacts. The rating system is applied to the potential impact on the receiving environment and includes an objective evaluation of the mitigation of the impact.

The report is available in printed and electronic formats and is presented in two volumes: • Volume 1: Integrated Report is a narrative on major development during the year combined with key statistics that indicate value generated in various ways. • Volume 2: Annual Financial Statements contains the sections on corporate governance and delivery against key performance indicators, in addition to the financial statements. 2018 is the second year in which SANRAL has adopted the practice of integrated reporting, having previously been guided solely by the approach adopted in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The agency has attempted to demonstrate the varied dimensions of its work and indicate how they are strategically coherent. It has continued to comply with the reporting requirements of the PFMA while incorporating major principles of integrated reporting. This new approach is supported by the adoption of an integrated planning framework in SANRAL’s new strategy, Horizon 2030. In selecting qualitative and quantitative information for the report, the agency has been guided by Horizon 2030 and the principles of disclosure and materiality.

  • App D14 Socio-Economic Impact Assessment
    PROPOSED KAREERAND TAILINGS STORAGE FACILITY (TSF) EXPANSION PROJECT, NEAR STILFONTEIN, NORTH WEST PROVINCE GCS REFERENCE NO: 17-0026 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT: DRAFT Submitted to: GCS (Pty) Ltd. Submitted by: AND October 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Background The operations of Mine Waste Solutions (MWS), also known as Chemwes (Pty) Ltd (Chemwes), entail the collection and reprocessing of mine tailings that were previously deposited on tailings storage facilities (TSFs) in order to extract gold and uranium. MWS conducts its operations over a large area of land to the east of Klerksdorp, within the area of jurisdiction of the City of Matlosana and JB Marks Local Municipalities, which fall within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality in the North‐West Province. The main operations of MWS include the existing Kareerand Tailings Facility (TSF) located to the south of the N12. The closest town is Khuma, located about 2km northwest of the facility, and other nearby towns include Stilfontein (10 km from facility) and Klerksdorp (19 km from facility). The Kareerand TSF was designed with an operating life of 14 years, taking the facility to 2025, and total design capacity of 352 million tonnes. Subsequent to commissioning of the TSF, MWS was acquired by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) and the tailings production target has increased by an additional 485 million tonnes, which will require operations to continue until 2042. The additional tailings therefore require extension of the design life of the TSF. The expansion of the existing TSF will enable the reclamation of additional tailings dams and deposition of the tailings in an expanded facility complete with a Class C barrier system and appropriate seepage mitigation measures.
