    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.

    Community Drinking Water Fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: a Feasibility Study

    Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility study. A dissertation submitted for the degree MSc (Dent) in Community Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape. Student: Gilbert J Dennis Student Number: 860991 Supervisor: Dr Neil Myburgh November 2002 Declaration I declare that the Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility Study is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Gilbert J Dennis November 2002 2 Abstract The prevalence of dental decay is high among lower socio-economic groups in the Southern Cape and Karoo region. 70 - 80% of State employed dentists' time in this region is spent on attempting to reduce the pain and sepsis within the communities for which the primary treatment modality is extraction of the tooth under emergency conditions. In developing countries the prevalence of dental decay is still high. There is a general downward trend of dental decay in developing countries; and it is associated with combinations of exposure to fluoridated water and/ or other forms of fluoride exposure (e.g. in fluoridated tooth paste), the provision of preventive oral health services, an increase in dental awareness through organized oral health education programs and the readily available dental resources. This study looked at the feasibility of implementing community water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region by describing the primary drinking water sources, the population distribution around these sources and the actual levels of fluoride found in the water samples.

  • 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’.

The whale capital, Hermanus, and the safari region of the Eastern Cape, located on either side and just beyond the borders of the Garden Route have also been included in this document. The Garden Route was so named, due to its lush and ecologically diverse vegetation and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the scenic coastline. The region includes quaint coastal towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature’s Valley and George.
