Britannia Bay Scoping Social Assessment SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR BOULDERS WIND FARM WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE NOVEMBER 2018 Prepared for EOH COASTAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES By Tony Barbour and Schalk van der Merwe Tony Barbour ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND RESEARCH 10 Firs Avenue, Claremont, 7708, South Africa (Tel) 27-21-797 1361 - (Fax) 27-21-797 1361- (Cell) 082 600 8266 (E-Mail) [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION Tony Barbour was appointed by Savannah Environmental to undertake a specialist Social Impact Assessment (SIA) as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for the establishment of a proposed Boulders Wind Farm (WF) and associated infrastructure in an area to the north of Vredenburg in the Western Cape Province between the town and the coast. In October 2018 Vredenburg Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd appointed EOH Coastal and Environmental Services to finalise the EIA process. This report contains the findings of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) Report undertaken as part of the EIA process. LAYOUT ALTERNATIVES Two layout alternatives have been assessed, namely Alternative 1 and Alterative 2. Alternative 1 Alternative 1 consists of forty five (45) wind turbines, of which thirteen (13) are located to the west of the Vredenburg-Stompneus Bay Road. Seven (7) of the thirteen (13) wind turbines located to the west of the road are located to the north of Kasteelberg. The remaining five (6) are located to the south of Kasteelberg. Alternative 2 Based on the findings of the Visual Impact Assessment (Logis, October 2018), Heritage Impact Assessment (Smuts, October 2018) and the SIA (Barbour and van der Merwe, October 2018), the total number of wind turbines located to the west of the Vredenburg-Stompneus Bay Road was reduced from thirteen (13) to eight (8). In addition, all seven (7) wind turbines located in the area to north of the Kasteelberg were relocated. The total number of wind turbines remains as forty five (45). APPROACH TO THE STUDY The approach to the SIA study is based on the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Guidelines for Social Impact Assessment (February 2007). These guidelines are based on international best practice. The key activities in the SIA process embodied in the guidelines include: Collection and review of baseline socio-economic data; A review of the issues identified during the Scoping Process; Review of relevant planning and policy frameworks for the area; Site specific information collected during site visits to the area and interviews with key stakeholders1; Review of information from similar projects; Identification of social issues associated with the proposed project. A review of selected specialist studies undertaken as part of the EIA, specifically the Visual Impact Assessment (VIA), Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and assessment of the impact of the proposed wind farm on property values and tourism; 1 This includes data collected during interviews undertaken in 2016 as part of the previous EIA process A review of relevant literature on social and economic impacts associated with wind farm; The experience of the authors with other wind energy projects in South Africa. SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS The key social issues are associated with: Compatibility with relevant policy and planning context (“planning fit”); Social issues associated with the construction phase; Social issues associated with the operation phase; Social issues associated with “no development” alternative; Social issues associated with cumulative impacts. FIT WITH POLICY AND PLANNING The findings of the review indicated that renewable energy is strongly supported at a national, provincial and local level. The development of and investment in renewable energy is supported by the National Development Plan (NDP), New Growth Path Framework and National Infrastructure Plan, which all make reference to renewable energy. The development of renewable energy is also strongly supported by the National Integrated Energy Plan (2016) and Draft Integrated Resource Plan (August 2018). At a provincial level the development of renewable energy is supported by the Western Cape Provincial Strategic Plan, Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (SDF), West Coast District Municipality Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and SDF and the Saldanha Bay Municipality IDP and SDF. However, while these documents all support the development of renewable energy in principle, some also provide guidance on the location of renewable energy facilities2. Of specific relevance the West Coast District Municipality SDF notes that wind farms should be located where they will cause least visual impact taking into consideration the viability of the project and located where their visual and environmental impact will be the lowest. The Saldanha Bay SDF and IDP refer to the principles contained in the 2006 DEA&DP Regional Methodology document, specifically that large, commercial WEF developments should be excluded from areas with high aesthetic landscape value. In conclusion, based on the review of key planning documents that pertain to the study area it is clear that the development of renewable energy (including wind farms) in the West Coast District and Saldanha Bay Local Municipality is strongly supported. However, there is a need to ensure that the siting of renewable energy facilities (including wind farms) are appropriately located and do not impact on the areas scenic assets and tourism potential. These issues will need to be considered by the relevant authorities when considering the application. CONSTRUCTION PHASE Alternative 1 and 2 both consist of forty five (45) wind turbines. As such there will be no difference in the nature and significance of the construction related impacts between Alternative 1 and 2. The summary of findings presented below therefore applies to both Alternative 1 and 2. 2 A detailed review of key policy and planning documents is provided in Section 4.2. ii Boulders WF Social Impact Assessment Report November 2018 The key social issues associated with the construction phase include: Potential positive impacts Creation of employment and business opportunities, and the opportunity for skills development and on-site training; Employment 813 direct full-time equivalent person-years will be created during the construction of the proposed Boulder Wind Farm. Based on other WF projects approximately 55% will be taken up by low skilled workers, 30% by semi-skilled workers and 15% by skilled workers. The majority of the low skilled and a proportion of the semi-skilled employment opportunities are likely to accrue to Historically Disadvantaged (HD) members from the local WCDM and SBLM community. The levels of unemployment in the SBLM are high, specifically on the St Helena Bay area. The creation of potential employment opportunities, even temporary employment, will represent a significant, if localised, social benefit. In addition to the direct jobs created, the project will also create employment opportunities through backward linkages. It is estimated that an additional 1 049 full-time equivalent person-years will be created through the multiplier effects. Overall, the project is expected to create a total of 1 861 full-time equivalent person-years, which equates to about 931 jobs created and maintained for two years (Urban Econ, June 2018). The potential benefits for local communities is confirmed by the findings of the Overview of the Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (IPPPP) undertaken by the Department of Energy, National Treasury and DBSA (30 June 2017). The study found that employment opportunities created during the construction phase of the projects implemented to date had created 40% more job years3 for South African citizens than anticipated. The study also found that significantly more people from local communities were employed during construction than was initially planned. The number of low skilled and semi-skilled positions taken up by members from the local community will depend on the effective implementation of these enhancement measures by the proponent in consultation with the WCDM and SBLM. In this regard the local Councillor (Mrs Scholtz) indicated that the local Paternoster and St Helena Bay communities did not benefit significantly from the employment opportunities associated with the construction of West Coast One WF. Mrs Scholtz indicated that these communities should be earmarked for preferential employment and skills training. Capital investment and business opportunities The Boulders Wind Farm will require an investment of ~ R1.5 billion, of which 33% or R494 million will be spent in South Africa (Urban Econ, June 2018). Construction will last for just about two years. During this period, the procurement of goods and services will create a direct, as well as a multiplier effect on the economic activities in the local economy of the SBLM, as well as the provincial economy of the Western Cape, and possibly the national economy. The expenditure of R 494 million on procurement of construction-related services, materials, equipment, machinery and other items is expected to generate an additional R573 million through multiplier effects. The project will therefore result in an increase in domestic production in the region of R1.06 billion over the two-year construction period (Urban Econ, June 2018). 3 The equivalent of a full time employment opportunity for one person for one year iii Boulders WF Social Impact Assessment Report

    APPENDIX C5: HERITAGE IMAPCT ASSESSMENT A Heritage Impact Assessment for the Grid Connection Alternatives, Boulders Wind Farm, Vredenberg Peninsula Prepared for CES Pty Ltd June 2019 Draft 1 Prepared by Tim Hart ACO Associates 8 Jacobs Ladder St James Cape Town 7945 Phone (021) 706 4104 Fax (086) 603 7195 Email: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACO Associates was appointed by CES Pty Ltd to assess the impact of the installation of a 132 KV power line to evacuate power from the Proposed Boulder Wind Farm on the Vredenberg Peninsula. The proposed activity is the construction of a powerline to evacuate electricity from the Boulders Wind farm (NID and HIA completed by Kathryn Smuts 2018) to the Eskom distribution network. Some 5 routes have been proposed of which route 3 is considered the most favorable by the proponent. Given that the entire landscape incorporating all the 5 routes has been surveyed and heritage sites recorded, it is with confidence that the impacts on heritage are assessed. Impacts Paleontology All the proposed activity is confined to the granite hills terrain which is considered not very palaeontologically sensitive. This fact combined with the small footprint of the proposed activity means that the chances of encountering any paleontological material are extremely low. As a precaution, a fossil finds protocol is included in Appendix 1. Mitigation • No specific mitigation is recommended • In the unlikely event of a find, the matter must be reported to Heritage Western Cape and a Palaeontologist. • The fossil finds protocol must be implemented. Archaeology The impact on archaeology and historic sites is very low, with only one archaeological site previously identified in the corridor of Route 3.

Tunley, B.M. Clark and A. Biccard ANCHOR environmentalSeptember 2012 Executive summary Introduction St Helena Bay is situated on the west coast of South Africa and extends from Dwarskersbos in the north, past the Shelley Point peninsula, to Cape St Martin in the west, encompassing 18 smaller bays and the estuary of the Berg River. The Bay is positioned in the southern section of the Benguela Current System, one of four major eastern-boundary current systems which is characterised by the wind-driven upwelling of cold, nutrient rich water. St Helena Bay is positioned downstream of the Cape Columbine upwelling cell and is a retention zone for the nutrient rich water that is upwelled in this cell. The bay is subject to incidence of harmful algal blooms and regular episodes of oxygen depletion in the coastal waters, which have in the past lead to major mortality events for organisms such as rock lobsters and fish. The Bay also serves as a major node for industrial and small-scale fisheries on the west coast, as well as for other industries such as mariculture, ship repair and shipbuilding.

  • 2 West Coast District Economic Profile
    West Coast District Regional Economic Development Strategy: 2007: Making an Impact: West Coast Economic Development Framework 2 WEST COAST DISTRICT ECONOMIC PROFILE 2.1 INTRODUCTION Chapter two first analyses key past economic trends and sectoral trends, before identifying priority strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) facing the West Coast’s economic development. This SWOT analysis informs the Economic Development Strategic Framework outlined in Chapter Three. 2.2 FOREIGN DIRECT AND DOMESTIC INVESTMENT AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE International economic linkages account for an increasing share of economic activity and constitute an important potential area for economic growth and job creation. This section identifies key trends in the following areas: • Foreign Direct Investment • Domestic Investment • International Trade • Tourism As a result of these global trends, an estimated 50% of South Africa's future economic growth is dependent on its ability to position itself strategically on a global scale: • Exports of goods are expected to be a driving force for economic growth, contributing 25% of new growth in GDP over the next five years, and projected to grow at an annual average of 3% p.a. • Exports of services will dramatically grow in importance, contributing over 10% of GDP growth and growing at over 10% p.a. 2.2.1. Foreign Direct Investment The West Coast District has attracted very little foreign direct investment over the past five years, with the recent exception of the MAN Ferrostaal investment in Saldanha. This investment is in its early stages, with a number of large international contract tenders outstanding, and has yet to create the envisaged 1,500 jobs.
