  • Archaeological Impact Assessment the Proposed George Western Bypass Road N2 to Outeniqua Pass George Western Cape Province
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED GEORGE WESTERN BYPASS ROAD N2 TO OUTENIQUA PASS GEORGE WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE Prepared for ARCUS GIBB (Pty) Ltd On behalf of DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND PUBLIC WORKS, PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION, WESTERN CAPE By Jonathan Kaplan Agency for Cultural Resource Management P.O. Box 159 Riebeek West 7306 Ph/Fax: 022 461 2755 Cellular: 082 321 0172 E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 2009 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE I, Jonathan Michael Kaplan, declare that I am an independent consultant, and that I am financially independent of the client and their consultants, and that all opinions expressed in this report are substantially my own. Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state.

  • SEWAGE SLUDGE Status Quo Report 2020/21 Executive Summary
    SEWAGE SLUDGE Status Quo Report 2020/21 Executive Summary The Western Cape Integrated Waste Management Plan (WCIWMP) 2017 identified the need for a better understanding of how sewage sludge is managed in the Province. This supports Goal 2, a key activity of the WCIWMP, which aims to develop a guideline on the beneficiation of treated sewage sludge. The WCIWMP 2017 provides organic waste diversion targets which will be one of the drivers in ensuring the sustainable end-use of sewage sludge. This Status Quo Report on sewage sludge from municipal wastewater treatment works, details the current management practices as well as highlighting the challenges and opportunities that exist at municipalities with regards to sewage sludge management. A questionnaire was drafted and circulated to municipalities and other sub- directorates within the Department to obtain input to the draft questionnaire as prt of survey. The final questionnaires were then sent to all municipalities with a feedback response rate of 80%, from a 107 wastewater treatment plants, which will form the basis of this report. Analysis of the feedback gained indicates that most Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTWs) dispose of their sewage sludge by land farming (22%) or to general (20%) or hazardous landfills (10%). 22% of WWTWs currently stockpile sewage sludge while 11% using their sewage sludge for composting/agricultural/irrigation use. Landfill airspace is declining across the Province and more beneficiation options need to be considered and implemented where possible. In the 2021/22 financial year the Department will continue work on wastewater sewage sludge and is planning to develop a guideline for the beneficiation of treated sewage sludge.
