INTRODUCTION SLR Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd (SLR) has been appointed by the Amajuba District Municipality as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner for the proposed Dannhauser Regional Water Supply Scheme in northern KwaZulu-Natal. As part of this appointment, SLR is to compile applications for Environmental Authorisation in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (No. 107 of 1998) and to register the water uses in terms of the General Authorisation gazetted in terms of Section 39 of the National Water Act, 1998 (No. 36 of 1998). 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Currently the water supply to the areas of Skombaren, Hilltop and Hattingspruit (including nearby Ramaphosa) are under capacitated and not able to meet future water supply demands. In response to these demands the Amajuba DM has proposed connecting these areas to the recently upgraded Durnacol Water Treatment Works through the implementation of the following Phases: Phase 1-1 Skombaren comprising: o 2.5 Mℓ reservoir at Skombaren; o 200 and 355 mm uPVC gravity main 8 700 m long from Dannhauser command reservoir to Skombaren via new concrete reservoir; Phase 1-2 Hilltop comprising: o 450 mm NB and 400 mm ductile iron rising main 19 700 m long from Durnacol to existing Hilltop reservoirs; o Pumping station at Durnacol (2x 250 kw pumps); o 5 Mℓ clear water reservoir at Durnacol; Phase 1-3 Hattingspruit and Ramaphosa comprising: o 200 mm to 315 mm uPVC gravity main 4 200 m long to new Hattingspruit break pressure tank; o 200 mm to 315 mm uPVC gravity main 6 500 m long to existing Hattingspruit clear water reservoirs; o 2.5 Mℓ break pressure tank / reservoir; 2 o 110 mm NB uPVC gravity main 4 200m to Ramaphosa Settlement; and o 200 kℓ elevated reservoir at Ramaphosa.

  • Project Name
    • CBA 2 are areas that support high biodiversity, with irreplaceability values between 0.1 - 0.8 which means that there are other locations identified as alternatives for achieving the conservation targets for one or more biodiversity feature, but not many. • CBA3 is indicative of one or more feature(s) with a high irreplaceability index of 2. This means that there are more alternative sites within which the targets of conservation can be met. Areas that have not been classified according the analysis, called Biodiversity Areas, are not open for wholesale development as important species are still located within them and should be accounted for in the EIA process. The proposed Waaihoek WEF is located in predominantly in CBA 3 and Biodiversity areas (EKZNW, 2010) (Figure 6-7). Areas of CBA 1 are located in the south-western portion of the project area which may be affected the powerline routes only.

The project area is largely natural grassland, which could support natural populations of various faunal groups.

  • South Africa's Coalfields – a 2014 Perspective
    South Africa's coalfields – a 2014 perspective 1Hancox, P. John and 2,3Götz, Annette E. 1University of the Witwatersrand, School of Geosciences, Private Bag 3, 2050 Wits, South Africa; [email protected] 2University of Pretoria, Department of Geology, Private Bag X20, Hatfield, 0028 Pretoria, South Africa; [email protected] 3Kazan Federal University, 18 Kremlyovskaya St., Kazan 420008, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation Highlights • South Africa’s Coalfields are presented. • The role of Gondwanan coals as palaeoclimate archives is stated. • Future research fields include palynology, sequence stratigraphy, basin fill. Abstract For well over a century and a half coal has played a vital role in South Africa’s economy and currently bituminous coal is the primary energy source for domestic electricity generation, as well as being the feedstock for the production of a substantial percentage of the country’s liquid fuels. It furthermore provides a considerable source of foreign revenue from exports. Based on geographic considerations, and variations in the sedimentation, origin, formation, distribution and quality of the coals, 19 coalfields are generally recognised in South Africa. This paper provides an updated review of their exploration and exploitation histories, general geology, and coal seam nomenclature and coal qualities. Within the various coalfields autocyclic variability is the norm rather than the exception, whereas allocyclic variability is much less so, and allows for the correlation of genetically related sequences. During the mid-Jurassic break up of Gondwana most of the coals bearing successions were intruded by dolerite. These intrusions are important as they may cause devolatilisation and burning of the coal, create structural disturbances and related seam correlation problems, and difficulties in mining operations.
