June 2015 This report has been prepared by Simon Todd, but includes some input on avifauna contributed by Dr. Andrew Jenkins of Avisense Consulting. 4 Weskusfleur Substation Fauna & Flora Specialist Study 1 INTRODUCTION Eskom Holdings SOC Limited intends to develop a new substation in order to service the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station. The current 400kV GIS substation has been in operation for almost 30 years and there are concerns regarding its reliability as it is difficult to repair as a result of discontinued technology. There is also no space for additional 132 kV feeder bays at Koeberg Substation to accommodate future requirements for new lines. In order to overcome these problems and limitations Eskom has proposed the construction of a new substation to be known as the Weskusfleur Substation. The stated objectives of the new substation are as follows: • Improve the existing 400kV reliability • Cater for load growth on the 132 kV network for the 20-year horizon. • Prevent overloading of existing 400kV busbar • Replace 30 year old technology/equipment Before Eskom can proceed with the development of the above proposed Weskusfleur Substation, environmental authorization from the Department of Environmental Affairs is required. Lidwala Consulting Engineers is conducting the EIA process on behalf of Eskom and has appointed Simon Todd Consulting to provide specialist ecological input for the EIA process. This ecological specialist study details the ecological characteristics of the affected areas and provides an assessment of the likely ecological impacts

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • 4.4 Possible Impacts of Proposed River Club Development
    South African astronomical observatory: vegetation and conservation 4.4 Possible impacts of proposed River Club development on the renosterveld of the SAAO site Dr Liz Day’s report on the wetlands of the River Club (Day, 2015) says the following: “The Flood Report of Krige (2015) (in Day, 2015) suggests that infilling of the entire River Club site to the 1:50 year flood level would not affect flooding in adjacent properties. Subsequent discussions with Mr Krige clarified the fact that infilling of the floodline would have an (as yet) unquantified effect on floodplain capacity, resulting in likely more rapid inundation of areas below a specified floodline, during an event of such a magnitude (as a result of reduced storage capacity). It is assumed that, up to floods of a magnitude at which flows bypass the constricting Salt River bridge, described in Krige (2015), infilling of the floodplain would also result in increased inundation depth in areas that have not been infilled”. There would be no impacts on the dryland renosterveld vegetation at the SAAO site (the water levels would be constant). However, as articulated by Day (2015) there is possibility that certain wetlands would be more quickly inundated, along with an increase in inundation depth. This would likely affect the species composition of localised wetland habitats, where deeper water species such as Typha capensis bulrush are likely to invade at the expense of those species with a more ephemeral wetland character. By comparison, the artificial perennial inundation of the Kuils River wetlands has led to the decline and even loss of certain wetland species in the area (Ninham Shand, 1999; Low, 1998).

  • DEIR APP E13 Vertibrate Faunal Assessment
    Eskom Holdings Limited ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED NUCLEAR POWER STATION (‘NUCLEAR-1’) and ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE FAUNA IMPACT STUDY J27035 January 2010 Nuclear-1: vertebrate fauna January 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At Duynefontein, the amount of land that is available for development, and that is not of high faunal sensitivity, is limited but sufficient to allow for Nuclear-1. However, further future expansion of power-generating facilities within the present Eskom property, to the north of KNPS, should not be considered. Development of Nuclear-1 at Duynefontein would have significant negative impacts, mainly because of the direct impacts on faunal habitats within the footprint areas. Duynefontein would benefit from the no-development option because the land is already managed as part of a private nature reserve. Opportunities for on-site conservation offsets are limited. At Bantamsklip, the amount of land on the coastal side of the R43, available for development and that is not of high faunal sensitivity, is more than sufficient to allow for Nuclear-1. The portion of the property inland of the R43 is highly sensitive and should not be developed at all. Development of Nuclear-1 at Bantamsklip would have significant negative impacts, mainly because of the direct impacts on faunal habitats within the footprint areas. However, highly significant potential offsets are possible at Bantamsklip if undeveloped land is declared a nature reserve and is effectively managed as such. This would depend especially on the protection and management of the inland portion, as well as an adequate coastal corridor. The no-development option at Bantamsklip is not positive because it can be assumed that it will lead to a change of land ownership and probable residential and/or resort development at the coast, and a possible increase in intensity of agricultural exploitation on the inland portion.
