OPENING AND WELCOME 1.1 Ms Muthialu (NMA) welcomed everybody and asked members of the project team to introduce themselves. Ms Muthialu then presented the agenda which was adopted as a suitable guide for the proceedings of the meeting. Ms Muthialu went through the ground rules and these were accepted as a suitable guide for conducting the meeting. 2. PRESENTATION ON THE DRAFT SCOPING REPORT Ms Strong (Arcus GIBB) gave a presentation summarising the EIA process for the Proposed Eskom Bantamsklip Transmission Lines and Associated Infrastructure and the findings of the Draft Scoping Report (DSR). The presentation covered: The role players in the EIA and their respective responsibilities A description of the project, study area and the need for the project 2 Pearly Beach Public Meeting - 21 March 2009 EIA for Proposed Eskom Bantamsklip Transmission Lines and Associated Infrastructure The EIA process and envisaged timelines The potential impacts and specialist studies The public participation process Alternative tower types The alternative route corridors and how they had evolved through the study A summary of the impacts, issues and sensitivity mapping for land capability; flora; fauna; avifauna; social; heritage; and visual specialist screening studies The combined sensitivity maps for each route and the alternatives that were recommended for detailed assessment in the Impact Assessment phase of the EIA The conclusions and recommendations The way forward 3. OPEN QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION 3.1 Ms Versfeld (Pearly Beach Conservancy) asked the following questions: i) At the start of the plant EIA there were five sites, now there are only three left. What happened to the other two? ii) Are there present transmission line servitudes between Koeberg, Kappa and Bacchus? If there are, why establish new ones? iii) Will the extension of the Bacchus substation be outside the existing yard because this area is highly sensitive? iv) Why is no mention made of underground lines? v) Where will the workers stay during the construction phase of the project? vi) What is a hamlet? i) Mr Malaka (Eskom) said due to the International Atomic Energy Association Regulations, two of the five sites were excluded from the rest of the plant EIA. The details of these regulations are contained in the scoping report for the plant EIA. ii) Mr Ramatsui (Eskom) said the existing servitudes are for the existing lines and new lines will require a new servitude, even if they follow the existing servitude. This means that an EIA will still be required. iii) Ms Strong agreed that the area around the Bacchus substation is very sensitive and at the moment they are anticipating that the extension of the substation will not extend outside the existing yard. iv) Mr Ramatsui said that underground lines were looked at in the project development but underground lines cost 8 to 10 times more than overhead lines and all overhead line possibilities will be exhausted before underground lines will be considered. v) Ms Strong said the social impact of construction workers has been identified as an impact and will be examined in the EIA phase. She added that teams will consist of about 15 – 20 highly skilled people at a time and they would indeed require some form of lodging during the few days they are staying in a specific place. vi) Ms Strong said a hamlet is a small village or community without the legislative grading of a Arcus town. She added that the DSR did not include a proper definition of a hamlet and she will GIBB recommend that one be put in the Final Scoping Report. 3.2 Mr Lutzeyer (Grootbos Nature Reserve) asked the following questions: i) What is the impact on tourism going to be? Is there a cost involved? ii) Who pays Arcus GIBB and NMA? Are they really independent? iii) What is the timeframe during which the specialist studies will take place? Will it only be in one season? How independent are the specialists? i) Ms Strong replied that the impact of tourism will be examined in two studies, the social impact study and the environmental resource economics study. The latter will focus on the economic impact on an area rather than looking at each property individually. 3 Pearly Beach Public Meeting - 21 March 2009 EIA for Proposed Eskom Bantamsklip Transmission Lines and Associated Infrastructure ii) Ms Strong added that Eskom appointed Arcus GIBB as EIA practitioners as they are required to do. Arcus GIBB in turn appoints the specialists, including NMA, and each of them needs to sign a declaration of independence from Eskom. Ms Muthialu added that this is a strongly debated issue for independent specialists such as NMA. From NMA’s point of view the company strongly asserts its independence and integrity in all the EIAs it is involved in and will not allow itself to choose sides in a project. All the public can do is have trust in the integrity of the companies and in the code of ethics and declaration of independence they signed. iii) Ms Strong said the specialist studies phase is a short term one and will take place in the winter, which is the best time for the specialists to do their studies. They will, however, also take into account long term studies that have been done to strengthen their findings. If anyone has such information they should forward it to the specialists via NMA. 3.3 Mr Whitelaw wanted to know: i) Why is the scoping of the transmission lines done with such haste when the plant site has not yet been determined. ii) What does Eskom think of the fact that they are violating the principles of the EIA process by being pre-emptive in running the transmission lines EIA before the plant EIA has been finalized? It makes the construction of the power plant seem inevitable. iii) Comment on the EIA process in terms of the other plant sites. Why were the first two sites (Brazil and Schulpfontein) removed from the study.

  • Section A: Introduction
    Overberg Spatial Development Framework March 2004 SECTION A: INTRODUCTION SECTION SYNOPSIS This section comprises of the following: a) Background information pertaining to the planning process. b) A reader's guide to terms used in the document. c) Key aspects of a Spatial Development Framework, including its definition, legal status, purposes and key elements. d) Summary of planning principles and core values that form the basis of the document. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Overberg District Municipality (further referred to as the ODM) during September 2002 appointed Dennis Moss Partnership Inc. to assist with the preparation of the Overberg Spatial Development Framework (Overberg SDF) as an integral part of the Overberg District Integrated Development Plan (IDP). A key requirement was that the project had to be undertaken in close collaboration with the 4 Category B municipalities that collectively form the ODM and that the planning process had to foster a spirit of co-operation between these municipalities. Full use was made of existing IDP forums as a basis for Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) consultation and participation. The planning process was undertaken in terms of inter alia the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000), and the Western Cape Planning and Development Act, 1999 (Act 7 of 1999). 1.2 PROJECT BRIEF In terms of the project brief, this SDF has to achieve the following: (a) Indicate the spatial implications of the IDP of the ODM. (b) Put forward development and management strategies, proposals and guidelines that will promote sustainable development in the ODM, including, without being limited to, development objectives, proposals for land reform, urban renewal, reconstruction, integration, environmental planning, transport planning, infrastructure planning, and urban design, so as to promote the general well-being of the people of the area in the most effective manner.
