  • Moving People and Goods in the Gamtoos Valley: a Revealing Case Study

    Moving People and Goods in the Gamtoos Valley: a Revealing Case Study

    MOVING PEOPLE AND GOODS IN THE GAMTOOS VALLEY: A REVEALING CASE STUDY van der Mescht, J. Department of Civil Engineering, Port Elizabeth Technikon, Private Bag X6011, Port Elizabeth, 6000 South Africa. Tel: +2741 5043550. Fax: +2741 5043491. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Primary transportation infrastructure in the Gamtoos Valley, a fertile agricultural district located to the west of Port Elizabeth, consists of a single-lane surfaced road namely Route 331, as well as a narrow gauge railway line. While the road pavement is in a poor condition due to lack of maintenance and extensive damage caused by an increasing number of heavy vehicles, the rail service is under-utilised and its future uncertain. The railway is used exclusively for the conveyance of export fruit via the Port Elizabeth harbour and is only operational for the duration of the citrus season that lasts from the beginning of April till the end of October. This paper reports on a preliminary investigation into the possibility of shifting passengers and freight from road to rail in order to relieve the pressure on the road system, to optimise the use of existing transportation facilities and to preserve and extend the working life of valuable road and rail assets. The logistics of hauling both imported and exported goods were analysed to establish what portion thereof could probably be moved by rail instead of by road. Other issues that were looked at included the offering of rail concessions to private companies, the introduction of a passenger service between Loerie and Patensie and the impact that current policies of the national rail operator, Spoornet, have on the provision of a satisfactory service to existing and potential rail clients.

  • Misgund Orchards

    Misgund Orchards

    MISGUND ORCHARDS ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 2014 Grey Rhebok Pelea capreolus Prepared for Mr Wayne Baldie By Language of the Wilderness Foundation Trust In March 2002 a baseline environmental audit was completed by Conservation Management Services. This foundational document has served its purpose. The two (2) recommendations have been addressed namely; a ‘black wattle control plan’ in conjunction with Working for Water Alien Eradication Programme and a survey of the fish within the rivers was also addressed. Furthermore updated species lists have resulted (based on observations and studies undertaken within the region). The results of these efforts have highlighted the significance of the farm Misgund Orchards and the surrounds, within the context of very special and important biodiversity. Misgund Orchards prides itself with a long history of fruit farming excellence, and has strived to ensure a healthy balance between agricultural priorities and our environment. Misgund Orchards recognises the need for a more holistic and co-operative regional approach towards our environment and needs to adapt and design a more sustainable approach. The context of Misgund Orchards is significant, straddling the protected areas Formosa Forest Reserve (Niekerksberg) and the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve. A formidable mountain wilderness with World Heritage Status and a Global Biodiversity Hotspot (See Map 1 overleaf). Rhombic egg eater Dasypeltis scabra MISGUND ORCHARDS Langkloof Catchment MAP 1 The regional context of Misgund Orchards becomes very apparent, where the obvious strategic opportunity exists towards creating a bridge of corridors linking the two mountain ranges Tsitsikamma and Kouga (south to north). The environmental significance of this cannot be overstated – essentially creating a protected area from the ocean into the desert of the Klein-karoo, a traverse of 8 biomes, a veritable ‘garden of Eden’.

    1 Palaeontological specialist assessment: combined field-based and desktop study PROPOSED KAREEDOUW-DIEPRIVIER 132 kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, HUMANSDORP MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT, EASTERN CAPE: REVISED ROUTE. John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom are proposing to construct approximately 35 km of overhead 132 kV powerline from the Dieprivier Substation through to the Kou-Kamma Substation near Kareedouw in the Humansdorp District Municipality, Eastern Cape. The project also entails decommissioning of existing powerlines, the construction of a new substation at Dieprivier, the extension of the existing Kareedouw sub-station (Kou-Kamma) as well as the construction of new minor roads. The proposed development footprint on the southern and northern sides of the Langkloof is underlain by Palaeozoic bedrocks of the Table Mountain Group and Bokkeveld Group (Cape Supergroup). Three of the formations involved – the Late Ordovician Cederberg Formation as well as the Early Devonian Baviaanskloof and Gydo Formations – are known elsewhere within the Cape Fold Belt for their important records of marine and terrestrial fossils. However in the Humansdorp region the bedrocks have generally suffered high levels of tectonic deformation and chemical weathering, seriously compromising their fossil heritage. No fossil remains were observed during a one-day palaeontological field assessment, neither within the Palaeozoic bedrocks nor in the overlying Late Caenozoic superficial sediments (colluvium, alluvium, pedocretes, soil etc). On the basis of the current field assessment as well as the paucity of previous fossil records from the Humansdorp region it is concluded that the palaeontological sensitivity of the Palaeozoic bedrocks here is low due to high levels of tectonic deformation (e.g.
