  • 3.2. Regulatory Hierarchy for Energy Generation Projects
    PROPOSED TSITSIKAMMA COMMUNITY WIND ENERGY FACILITY, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report September 2011 3.2. Regulatory Hierarchy for Energy Generation Projects The South African energy industry is evolving rapidly, with regular changes to legislation and industry role-players. The regulatory hierarchy for an energy generation project of this nature consists of three tiers of authority who exercise control through both statutory and non-statutory instruments (i.e. National, Provincial, and Local). The main regulatory agencies at a national level include: » Department of Energy (DoE) - the DoE is the controlling authority in terms of the Electricity Act (Act No. 41 of 1987), and is responsible for policy relating to energy including renewable energy. Wind energy is considered under the White Paper for Renewable Energy and the DoE undertakes research in this regard. » National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) - this body is responsible for regulating all aspects of the electricity sector, and will ultimately issue generation licenses for renewable energy developments. » Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) - this department is responsible for environmental policy and is the controlling authority in terms of NEMA and the EIA Regulations. DEA has been made the competent authority responsible for granting the relevant environmental authorisations for all renewable energy projects which are regarded of national importance. » The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) - the National Heritage Resources Act (Act No. 25 of 1999) and the associated provincial regulations provides legislative protection for listed or proclaimed sites, such as urban conservation areas, nature reserves and proclaimed scenic routes. » South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL): this department is responsible for all national road routes.

  • 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’.

  • Who Lived in the Stellenbosch Winelands Before 1652?
    WHO LIVED IN THE STELLENBOSCH WINELANDS BEFORE 1652? This short essay describes what is currently known about the archaeology and history of the Stone Age people who lived in the vicinity of Stellenbosch and adjacent Winelands in the Western Cape before European colonisation. When and where did the human story begin? There is abundant archaeological evidence from stone tools, and a few human remains, that Stone Age hunter-gatherer people lived in the Western Cape for about a million years. As yet, there is no evidence in this region for the earliest stone tools and fossil hominin remains that date to between 1 and at least 3 million years ago in the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng, Limpopo and North-West provinces. It is not clear whether this is a result of a limited ecological range in which the early hominins lived, or of the absence of suitable geological formations for the preservation of bone. What do we mean by the Stone Age? The Stone Age was the time when most of the tools that hunter-gatherer people used were made by striking one stone against another – a hammerstone against a core – so that sharp edges were created on the sides of the core and on the flakes that were detached. Many fine-grained rocks will produce flakes with edges that are sharper than a metal knife, but stone becomes blunt much more quickly than metal. Archaeologists focus on stone tools as the primary source of evidence for the presence of people in the landscape in the past because the tools are almost indestructible and therefore are often all that is left behind after bones, wood, plant remains and shells have disintegrated.
