Project Details Page i SALDANHA BAY NETWORK STRENGTHENING PROJECT, WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE Draft Scoping Report April 2016 PURPOSE OF THE DRAFT SCOPING REPORT Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (to be referred to as Eskom hereafter) is proposing the Saldanha Bay Network Strengthening Project which involves the proposed construction of a new Distribution substation (Dx), Transmission substation (Tx), 2X 400kV Power Lines and associated upgrade and extension of the Aurora Substation. The proposed Saldanha Bay Network Strengthening is located in the Saldanha Bay area, approximately 130km north west of Cape Town, in the Western Cape Province. The closest towns to the study area are Saldanha Bay, Langebaan and Vredenburg. The EIA process is being undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA; Act No. 107 of 1998). Scoping is an important part of the EIA process, as it helps to ensure that the impact assessment is appropriately focussed. The main objectives of the Scoping process are: » To engage with stakeholders at an early stage of the development so that they may contribute their views with regards to the proposed project; » To identify potential issues and impacts associated with the proposed development; » To define the scope of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA); » To define the methodology that is required for the EIA; and » To describe the plan of study for the EIA. In terms of NEMA, the Scoping Report is submitted to the competent authority (i.e. the National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA)) as part of the decision-making process with regard to the proposed wind energy facility. The Scoping Report is also intended to provide sufficient background information to other Organs of State, non-statutory bodies, the general public, organisations and local communities in order to obtain their commentary and input on the proposed development. The Scoping Phase of the EIA process identifies and describes potential issues associated with the proposed project, and defines the extent of the studies required within the EIA Phase of the process. The EIA Phase will assess those identified potential environmental impacts and benefits associated with all phases of the project including design, construction, operation and decommissioning, and will recommend appropriate mitigation measures for potentially significant environmental impacts. The Scoping Report consists of eleven sections: Purpose of the Draft Scoping Report Page ii SALDANHA BAY NETWORK STRENGTHENING PROJECT, WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE Draft Scoping Report April 2016 » Chapter 1 provides background to the proposed project and associated infrastructure, and the environmental impact assessment. » Chapter 2 describes project details as well as the site selection process for the project. » Chapter 3 outlines the process which was followed during the Scoping Phase of the process and outlines the regulatory and legal context. » Chapter 4 describes the existing biophysical and socio-economic environment affected by the proposed project. » Chapter 5 provides the description of the potential environmental issues and potential impacts identified to be associated with the project. » Chapter 6 presents the conclusions of the scoping evaluation. » Chapter 7 describes the Plan of Study for EIA. » Chapter8 provides references used to compile the Scoping Report. The Draft Scoping Report provides the public with an opportunity to verify that all potential issues associated with the proposed project have been identified through this scoping study, and provides an opportunity for additional key issues for consideration to be raised. The Final Scoping Report will incorporate all comments received prior to submission to the National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA).

    Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae: Irideae) P . GOLDBLATT* and J .C . MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

    HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN – AUGUST 2019 HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN The acid sands of marine origins and the Malmesbury shales of the Swartland meet at Hopefield. Here, the interplay of soil types and water permeability of these substrates as well as the climatic influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean leads to unique habitats and many seasonal wetlands. Thus, the area has many interesting endemic and threatened plant taxa and it is no surprise that Hopefield is now renowned for its annual flower show which is run by a passionate and knowledgeable group of local volunteers (Maree and Vromans 2010).

  • DC1 West Coast
    1 WEST COAST MAP 2 FOREWORD BY MAYOR On behalf of the West Coast District Municipality it gives me great pleasure to highlight the importance of the annual Review Integrated Development Plan and Budget for 2009/2013. The annual Review of the Integrated Development Plan/ Budget 2009/2013 provides a platform for the West Coast District Municipality to assess our performance in terms of our strategic objectives that we have set for the 2008/2009 financial year. The outcomes and impact of our performance are based on the programs and projects that we successfully delivered throughout the region and our communities. I further want to emphasize that we are operating on a three- year budgeting-cycle, thus it is of great importance that communities are aware of the fact that there are some projects that are still ongoing and will be completed before the end of the financial year. One of our major achievements in 2008/2009 was the Vuna Awards where the West Coast District Municipality won the National Vuna Award for Financial Viability throughout the country. In September 2008 the West Coast District Municipality opened the West Coast Disaster Management Centre. The West Coast Region Disaster Management Centre will have its focus on disasters such as fires, droughts, floods and accidents throughout the West Coast Region. The West Coast District Municipality furthermore received two awards from the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry for ensuring the provision of quality water to 19 towns in the region and 5 towns in the West Coast District Municipal Area. As part of the West Coast District Municipality‟s vision in ensuring a „Better Quality of Life for All‟ we appointed a service provider in conjunction with our health practioners to conduct ward profiles throughout our rural areas in the region.

This reference provides comprehensive information on the taxonomy and distribution in time and space of all currently recognised southern African fossil mammals. After an introductory background chapter on southern Africa, mammals, sites and dating, the following chapters are presented by epoch, covering the Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene. Individual maps provide information on where in the landscape specific taxa have been found, and a comprehensive index lists all the fauna and site locations. It ends with a chapter on how the book can be used, and lines of future research. Collecting a vast amount of information together in an accessible format, this is an essential reference for non-specialist taxonomists and palaeontologists, as well as for those using fossil data for other applications, such as archaeology, neontology and nature conservation. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. D.
