Mtunzini Conservancy Newsletter December 2015
Mtunzini Conservancy Newsletter December 2015 https://www.facebook.com/MtunziniConservancy/ Dear Members and Supporters, Many thanks to Jim Chedzey for compiling another lovely newsletter and for all the contributions that make up the 5th edition of the year. As 2015 melts away and 2016 dawns it is with excitement and some trepidation that we welcome the holidays and anticipate what the New Year holds! Most weather models are predicting the continuation of a strong El- Nino episode during the summer season with the expectation for it to start gradually decaying during late autumn and the early winter seasons. Thus the rain that we have recently experienced along the coast and inland towards Hluhluwe- Imfolozi has been most welcome as the continuation of dry conditions towards the mid- and late-summer season is forecast. Let’s all do our bit to conserve water by using it sparingly and installing water collection and recycling systems in our homes and businesses. The Conservancy held its year end function on Friday the 4th December at Twinstreams and it turned out to be a most enjoyable and entertaining evening. Special thanks to Kim and Wayne for sharing your Karoo expedition with us – the presentation was artistic and energetic and we would recommend anyone who would like their photos and videos put into a similar dynamic format contact Kim Steinberg on 0799832641. Many thanks also to our gracious host Steve Untiedt who always make us feel at home – and staff Nomusa and Khululiwe and Nonhlanhla for preparing the salads and Ray, Matthew, Ntokhoza and Kevin for the firewood. -

Mtunzini Highway – Working in a Wetland Habitat
MTUNZINI N2 ROAD UPGRADE Northern KwaZulu-Natal, Near Richards Bay, South Africa (Working in a sensitive wetland habitat) PROJECT TYPE: Highway through sensitive wetlands CLIENT: South African National Roads Agency DATE OF PROJECT: June 2016 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The new highway crossed the Umlazi river and 22 wetland systems so careful wetland management was crucial. Due to the sensitivity of these swamp forests and wetland areas, Concor revised the project footprint area to minimise any forest need clearing. A number of measures were put in place to protect the wetland areas on site, for instance the wetland soils were removed in separate layers so they could be reinstated. Several protected trees species such Powder Puff, Onion Wood and Swamp Figs were mapped out marked and protected from disturbance. Areas were clearly demarcated to control disturbance while access routes avoided the wetland areas. No vehicles or machinery were allowed to move through these areas. All laydown yards, camps and storage areas were positioned outside wetland area or seeps and any refuelling was done in designated areas. Pylons were placed outside of the wetlands wherever possible and storm water managed to avoid erosion. Water control berms and sediment traps were used to prevent siltation from road layer works. Special mitigation measures such as riprap, sediment traps, diversion berms and gabions were used through the highway wetland interface. The landscape was re-profiled while local wetland plants augmented the original seed bank. www.concor.co.za . -
