Comments and Responses Initial Notification Name Date Received Method Comment Response In particular and as requested we hereby provide information on the Environmental Authorisation process for the overhead powerlines (grid connection). Two separate Environmental Authorisation (EA) applications will be submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs. One EA application will be for the Juno Wind Farm; and the other EA application will be for the associated grid connection (overhead powerlines). The powerlines provide the evacuation route for power generated by the wind farm to feed into the National grid at the existing Eskom Juno Substation. The proposed powerlines for Juno Wind Energy Facility trigger a Basic Assessment Report (BAR). This is a separate EA process to the wind farm. The wind farm triggers a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) EA process. As a registered I&AP you will be receiving all future public correspondence relating to the proposed project, for both the BAR and EIA. This includes invitations to comment on the Draft Scoping Report, Draft BAR and the Draft EIA Report. Notifications of the availability of these reports will be sent to you by email. The BAR for the powerlines will be compiled and completed concurrent to the EIA Report for the wind farm. Both reports will be available at the same time and you will be notified of their availability; and have an opportunity to comment. Any comments received are recorded in an Issues Trail that will form part of the abovementioned reports. Please do not hesitate to contact us if further information is required.

    TUNGSTEN MINE THREATENS WAY OF LIFE OF THOUSANDS AND PLACES RAMSAR-SITE VERLORENVLEI AT HIGH RISK · We the people of the Verlorenvallei stand as one against a threat which could destroy our way of life and our valley. · We the farm workers, fishermen, farmers and entrepreneurs will not allow the pollution of our air, water or land or loss of our livelihoods for the sake of a greedy few. · We the lovers of nature reject further desecration of the already endangered Verlorenvlei and the unique and wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles and plants which have survived the depredations of humans. · We will protect the rare and largely unexplored rich pre-historical heritage for those who may follow us. · We have formed the Verlorenvlei Coalition; we are growing steadily, please join. The Verlorenvlei Coalition (VC) is a coalition of labour, business, civic organisations, environmental groups and local residents formed to preserve the integrity of the area and its people. We call our valley, which runs from Piketberg to Elands Bay, the Verlorenvallei. THE CHALLENGE: No less than 5 applicants have submitted applications to the DEPARTMENT OF MINING for the right to build an open-cast tungsten and molybdenum mine, one of these 50 hectares in extent and 200 metres deep, in the Moutonshoek Valley, between Piketberg and Elands Bay in the Western Cape. The Moutonshoek is a narrow valley, approximately 17 kilometres long and 3-4 kilometres wide, on the slopes of the Piketberg-mountain. THE VERLORENVLEI COALITION will oppose the proposed mining because: 1. It will destroy productive and profitable farms and detrimentally affect the food security of the Western Cape.

  • Communal Land Tenure in Ebenhaeser, South Africa, 2012 – 2017
    PUTTING JUSTICE INTO PRACTICE: COMMUNAL LAND TENURE IN EBENHAESER, SOUTH AFRICA, 2012 – 2017 SYNOPSIS Following the 1994 transition from racial apartheid to democracy, South Africa’s government aimed to provide tenure security for the estimated 16 million black South Africans living in communal areas. But the lack of a clear legal framework applicable to most communal areas meant that progress was slow. In contrast, a viable legal framework did exist to guide tenure reform in smaller communal areas formerly known as “coloured reserves,” where a series of apartheid laws had settled people of mixed race. In 2009, land reform Minister Gugile Nkwiti designated one such area—Ebenhaeser, on the country’s west coast—as a rural “flagship” project. The aim was both to transfer land held in trust by the government to Ebenhaeser community members and to settle a restitution claim. Provincial officials from Nkwinti’s ministry, working with private consultants, organized a communal association to serve as landowner. They helped negotiate an agreement with white farmers to return land that had originally belonged to coloured residents. The community also developed a land administration plan that would pave the way for Ebenhaeser’s residents to become the legal owners of their communal territory. Leon Schreiber drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, in March 2017. Case published May 2017.

  • Upper Olifants River Survey
    UPPER OLIFANTS RIVER SURVEY An assessment of woody riparian and alien vegetation Sam Jack1, Greg Nicolson2 & Ian Durbach3 January 2016 1. Corresponding author. Plant Conservation Unit, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch, 7701, Cape Town. T: 021 650 2483, E: [email protected] 2. Greg Nicolson Consulting, 9 Recreation Road, Muizenberg, 7945, Cape Town 3. Centre for Statistics in Ecology, Environment, and Conservation, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Cape Town, 7701, Cape Town 1 Introduction The perennial Olifants Rivers system arises in the high‐elevation Agter‐Witzenberg Valley north of Ceres and flows for over 250 km in a north‐westerly direction to its mouth near the West Coast town of Papendorp (Figure 1). Along its course to the sea the Olifants is supplemented by several smaller perennial rivers, such as the Thee, Noordhoek, Boontjies, Rondegat, Jan Dissels, and the non‐ perennial Sout. Its main tributary is the Doring River feeding in from the east at around 2/3rd’s of its length. Two significant dams, namely the Clanwilliam and Bulshoek Dams, are situated along the mid‐course of the river. The Olifants River is central to the presence and success of an extensive agricultural industry in the Olifants River basin. This mainly comprises citrus orchards, vineyards and potatoes, which require year round water. The river (and dams) also supplies water to several major towns along its length, namely Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Vanrhynsdorp, Vredendal and Lutzville, and serves as an important focal point for water‐related recreational activities and tourism in the West Coast District.

  • Desktop Assessment
    PALAEONTOLOGICAL SPECIALIST STUDY: DESKTOP ASSESSMENT Proposed Maskam limestone mine near Vanrhynsdorp, Matzikama Municipality, Western Cape Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cape Lime (Pty) Ltd, Vredendal, is proposing to develop a high grade limestone mine on the Remainder of the farm Welverdiend 511, some 8 km SSW of Vanrhynsdorp in the Matsikama Municipality, Western Cape Province. No processing plant will be located on site and all excavated limestone material will be transported to the applicant’s existing plant at their Vredendal site some 12 km away. The study area is largely mantled by a range of Late Caenozoic superficial deposits (wind-blown sands, soils, alluvium) that are up to 2m thick and all of low palaeontological sensitivity. The underlying Late Precambrian bedrocks of the Gifberg Group, notably the carbonate target rocks of the Widouw Formation, are metamorphosed, recrysallised and highly deformed, and hence unlikely to contain any fossils. The overall impact significance of the proposed mining development is inferred to be LOW because most of the study area is mantled by superficial sediments of low palaeontological sensitivity and the Precambrian bedrocks are almost certainly unfossiliferous. No further specialist studies or mitigation regarding fossil heritage are considered necessary for this project. Should substantial fossil remains (e.g. vertebrate teeth, bones, petrified wood, stromatolites, shells, trace fossils) be exposed during mining, however, the ECO should safeguard these, preferably in situ, and alert Heritage Western Cape as soon as possible so that appropriate action (e.g.
