Final Environmental Impact Assessment Report REGISTRATION NUMBER: 2018/110720/07 FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT: THE PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ASPHALT PLANT AND AN EMULSION PLANT ON THE REMAINDER OF THE FARM COLDSTREAM RE/970, INDWE, EASTERN CAPE.

Box 13125 Noordstad Bloemfontein 9302 Physical Address : 25 Bloemendal Road Rayton Bloemfontein 9302 Cell : 082 4508957 Tel : 051 436 4891 E-mail : [email protected]/ [email protected] Site Information: Farm / Erf Name : Coldstream Farm Number : 970 Farm Portion : RE 21 Digit Surveyors Code : C02400000000097000000 District : Indwe District Municipality : Chris Hani District Municipality Local Municipality : Emalahleni Local Municipality Site coordinates (Centre of site) : 31°26'33.24"S and 27°23'19.89"E EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tau-Pele Construction (Pty) Ltd (“the applicant”) seeks to apply for Environmental Authorisation (“EA”) with the Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Eastern Cape (“DEDEAT”) in terms of the 2014 EIA Regulations as amended under the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998) (“NEMA”), as well as for an Atmospheric Emission License (“AEL”) with the Chris Hani District Municipality for the establishment of an asphalt plant and emulsion plant on the remainder of the farm Coldstream RE/970, Indwe, Eastern Cape (“Property”). This report forms part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) process currently underway in accordance with the 2014 EIA Regulations as amended under NEMA to obtain EA. The proposed development is also scheduled as a Macadam preparation process that also needs an AEL in terms of the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act (Act 39 of 2004) (“NEM:AQA”). The proposed development will entail the establishment of an asphalt plant and emulsion plant to produce asphalt that will be used for future projects for the construction and repair of the public roads in the area. The following activities will be applied for: GN. R. 893 of the NEM: AQA 2013 Regulations: • Category 2: Petroleum Industry, the production of gaseous and liquid fuels as well as petrochemicals from crude oil, coal, gas or biomass. Subcategory 2.4: Storage and Handling of Petroleum Products - “All permanent immobile liquid storage facilities at a single site with a combined storage capacity of greater than 1000 cubic meters.” • Category 5: Mineral Processing, Storage and Handling, Subcategory 5.10: Macadam Preparation - “Permanent facilities used for mixtures of aggregate; tar or bitumen to produce road-surfacing materials.” GN. R. 325 of the NEMA 2014 Regulations as amended: • Activity 4 - “The development and related operation of facilities or infrastructure, for the storage, or storage and handling of a dangerous good, where such storage occurs in containers with a combined capacity of more than 500 cubic metres.” I • Activity 6 – “The development of facilities or infrastructure for any process or activity which requires a permit or licence or an amended permit or licence in terms of national or provincial legislation governing the generation or release of emissions, pollution or effluent”. GN. R. 327 of the NEMA 2014 Regulations as amended: • Activity 27: “The clearance of an area of 1 hectares or more, but less than 20 hectares of indigenous vegetation” • Activity 28 (ii) – “Residential, mixed, retail, commercial, industrial or institutional developments where such land was used for agriculture, game farming, equestrian purposes or afforestation on or after 01 April 1998 and where such development: (ii) will occur outside an urban area, where the total land to be developed is bigger than 1 hectare”. The proposed site was previously used for a temporary asphalt plant that produced asphalt for the upgrade of section 6 of the R56. There is also a quarry belonging to Blue Crane Resources and Minerals situated directly adjacent to the proposed site on the same property. Thus, the proposed site is significantly degraded. The proposed site falls within the Drakensberg Foothill Moist Grassland (Gs 10) vegetation type, which is classified as Least Threatened. The majority of the vegetation on site has been transformed and the remaining vegetation is represented by pioneer, exotic weeds and patches of natural vegetation along the borders of the site. Furthermore, there are no wetlands or watercourses on the proposed site. However, a small stream, which is a direct tributary of the Indwe River, is located approximately 300 m to the west of the site. It is unlikely that the development will have a direct impact on this stream due to the distance. However, due to the gradual west facing slope of the site the runoff generated will flow towards the stream (refer to the Ecological Assessment in Annexure 5). The Indwe River is located approximately 700 m from the proposed site. The groundwater in the area consists of minor aquifer systems. However, the Indwe area mostly gets its water from surface water. The geology of the site consists of mainly dolerite sills with grey mudstone, shale and gritty sandstone of the Tarkastad Subgroup and Molteno Formation. The soil consists of Glenrosa and/or Mispah soils with lime present in low-lying soils (ENPAT 2001). The proposed site is located in the Rainfall Zone S2A and has a Mean Annual Rainfall (“MAR”) between 500 mm and 600 mm per annum. The proposed site is located in Evaporation Zone 28B with a Mean Annual Evaporation (“MAE”) of between 1 600 mm to 1 700 mm (Water Resource Council, 2005). Maximum daily temperatures vary from 29°C in the summer to 16°C in winter (Meteoblue, 2018). Although the ambient air quality of the area is good, there are numerous contributors to atmospheric emissions, which include the quarry adjacent to the proposed site, PG Bison which is located approximately 85 km from the proposed site and the town of Indwe. II A site ecological survey was conducted to determine the entire footprint that the development will have on the environment. During the survey all different fauna and flora species on site were identified and included in the Ecological Assessment. Please refer to the Ecological Assessment in Annexure 5. As mentioned, the proposed site is disturbed as a result of a previous asphalt plant present on the site, as well as the presence of a quarry adjacent to the proposed site. Thus, there are no buildings older than 60 years or any graves present on the proposed site. a Phase 1 Heritage Impact Assessment (“HIA”) as well as an accompanying Phase 1 Palaeontological Impact Assessment (“PIA”) was conducted for the proposed establishment of an asphalt plant and emulsion plant in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) (“NHRA”) as required by NEMA. The area’s heritage and palaeontological significance was assessed on the basis of existing field data, database information and already published literature and a field survey. Please refer to the Phase 1 HIA and PIA in Annexure 5. Alternatives The preferred site for the proposed development is the farm Coldstream RE/970. The applicant has an agreement with the landowner to utilise the site. The following alternatives were considered during the study: • Location Alternatives: One other location was considered for the proposed project. This location is located on the remaining extent of portion 19 of the farm Ecowa 102, Elliot, Eastern Cape. Proximity to environmentally sensitive areas was mainly considered during the selection process. • Design / Layout alternative: There is no feasible design/layout alternative for this project that will be assessed • Technological alternative: There is no feasible technological alternative for this project that will be assessed. • No Go alternative: The “no-go” alternative will be considered throughout the assessment of the proposed project. (The alternatives will be discussed in more detail in Section 5 of this report) Baseline Assessments A baseline site assessment was undertaken by Mr. Louis De Villiers (“EAP”) and Ms. Ansuné Weitsz (“EAP Assistant”) to identify and assess any potential impacts associated with establishing the proposed asphalt plant and emulsion plant. This was followed by numerous discussions with specialists and the operations manager. III Desktop studies regarding sensitive environmental features located in close proximity to the site has also been done. Public Participation The Public Participation Process ("PPP") was conducted according to the 2014 EIA Regulations as amended. The PPP process conducted is described in more detail in Section 3 of this report. Comments, responses and proof of notifications sent during the PPP are included in Annexure 3 of this report IV TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF FIGURES ...............................................................................................................................
