X If YES, please complete form XX for each specialist thus appointed: Any specialist reports must be contained in Appendix D. 1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Describe the activity, which is being applied for, in detail The District Roads Engineer (DRE) proposes to reconstruct the Kariega River Low-Level Bridge on the gravel road that runs west-east just north of Kenton-on-Sea between the R343 and the P{ort Alfred to Southwell District Road (District Road, DR1950) (refer to Figure 1 included below). This was necessitated by extensive damage to the right bank approach embankment of the existing bridge in 2011 due to a high rainfall and subsequent flooding event in the river. The event showed that the hydraulic capacity of the existing bridge is insufficient to accommodate high flows in the river. As a result traffic has been forced to cross through the river. This poses a safety risk to all road users. The continuous traversing through the river is also causing damage to the river banks and the river bed. The proposed bridge will be approximately 35 metres in length and 5 metres wide. The scope of the engineering works includes the reconstruction of the low- level bridge with larger culverts to increase flow under the bridge but the crossing will, however, be designed to be overtopped during extreme events. The proposed crossing will comprise seven portal box culverts, each 2.4 metres wide by 1.8 metres high, laid parallel to the direction of flow in the river as it approaches the site of the crossing (see Appendix C). Each culvert will comprise six 1.2 metres-long precast concrete units, Class 75S to SANS 986 (Rectangular Box Culverts). The culverts will be founded on a cast-in situ reinforced concrete slab 200mm thick. The slab will be laid on the river bed after suitable levelling and grading and, where necessary, filling soft spots with dental concrete. The base slab will be extended about 3.5m upstream of the entrance to the culverts to provide smooth flow conditions at the culvert entrances, and about the same distance at the downstream ends to prevent erosion by exiting flow. Four transverse cut-off walls approximately 600mm deep will be constructed beneath the slab at the upstream and downstream ends of the slab and at two places between to prevent water flowing under the “Innovation for Sustainable Development” t Floor Room 274 • Beacon Hill • Hockley Close • Kind William’s Town • 5600 | Private Bag X0054 • 5605 • Republic of South Africa TeL; 043 605 7099• Fax: 043 605 7300 | Email: • Web: www.dedeat.gov.za VERSION 1 dated 8 December 2014 www.dedea.gov.za slab and eroding the river bed beneath the structure. Figure 1: Location of the proposed crossing, the insert shows the extent of the damage on the existing bridge. The culverts will be laid about 2m apart, and the space between them filled with cement stabilised backfill material, with the upstream and downstream ends being sealed with a reinforced concrete wall. Reinforced concrete wing walls will be constructed at each side of the crossing to protect the river banks from erosion. The road slab will be a reinforced concrete slab approximately 200mm thick. The bed and banks of the river upstream and downstream of the crossing will be reinforced with Reno mattresses and stone-filled gabions respectively up to a certain level, above which the river banks and the side slopes of the road embankment will be reinforced with grouted stone pitching. The crossing will have to be constructed in two cofferdams, since the river flows continuously except in drought conditions. A water use authorisation in terms of Section 21 (c) and (i) of the National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) was initially anticipated, however it has been determined that the exact location of the low-level crossing is within the upper reaches of the estuary and is thus the mandate of the Department of Oceans and Coasts. Discussions with the Department of Water and Sanitation “Innovation for Sustainable Development” t Floor Room 274 • Beacon Hill • Hockley Close • Kind William’s Town • 5600 | Private Bag X0054 • 5605 • Republic of South Africa TeL; 043 605 7099• Fax: 043 605 7300 | Email: • Web: www.dedeat.gov.za VERSION 1 dated 8 December 2014 www.dedea.gov.za and Oceans and Coasts have confirmed this. A formal letter indicating such has been requested and will be included in the Final Basic Assessment Report. 2. FEASIBLE AND REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES “alternatives”, in relation to a proposed activity, means different means of meeting the general purpose and requirements of the activity, which may include alternatives to— (a) The property on which or location where it is proposed to undertake the activity; (b) The type of activity to be undertaken; (c) The design or layout of the activity; (d) The technology to be used in the activity; (e) The operational aspects of the activity; and (f) The option of not implementing the activity. Describe alternatives that are considered in this application. Alternatives should include a consideration of all possible means by which the purpose and need of the proposed activity could be accomplished in the specific instance taking account of the interest of the applicant in the activity. The no-go alternative must in all cases be included in the assessment phase as the baseline against which the impacts of the other alternatives are assessed. The determination of whether site or activity (including different processes etc.) or both is appropriate needs to be informed by the specific circumstances of the activity and its environment. After receipt of this report the competent authority may also request the applicant to assess additional alternatives that could possibly accomplish the purpose and need of the proposed activity if it is clear that realistic alternatives have not been considered to a reasonable extent. Paragraphs 3 – 13 below should be completed for each alternative. (a) The property on which or location where it is proposed to undertake the activity: This application is for the reconstruction of an existing bridge to increase its hydraulic capacity to accommodate high flows in the river. A new low-level bridge will be constructed in the same footprint as the previous bridge, to reduce the overall impacts associated with the construction and operation phases. It should be noted that larger culverts will be installed in order to increase the hydraulic capacity of the bridge to accommodate high flows during heavy rainfall and flooding events, thereby reducing the potential risk for damage. For these reasons no location alternatives have been considered for this application. (b) The type of activity to be undertaken: Due to the fact that the application is for the reconstruction of an existing bridge that has been damaged, no activity alternatives have been considered for this application.

  • A Classification of the Subtropical Transitional Thicket in the Eastern Cape, Based on Syntaxonomic and Structural Attributes
    S. Afr. J. Bot., 1987, 53(5): 329 - 340 329 A classification of the subtropical transitional thicket in the eastern Cape, based on syntaxonomic and structural attributes D.A. Everard Department of Plant Sciences, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, 6140 Republic of South Africa Accepted 11 June 1987 Subtropical transitional thicket, traditionally known as valley bushveld, covers a significant proportion of the eastern Cape. This paper attempts to classify the subtropical transitional thicket into syntaxonomic and structural units and relate it to other thicket types on a continental basis. Twelve sites along a rainfall gradient were sampled for floristic and structural attributes. The floristic data were classified using TWINSPAN. Results indicate that the class subtropical transitional thicket has at least two orders of vegetation, namely kaffrarian thicket and kaffrarian succulent thicket. Two forms of thicket were recognized for both these orders viz. mesic kaffrarian thicket and xeric kaffrarian thicket for the kaffrarian thicket and mesic succulent thicket and xeric succulent thicket for the kaffrarian succulent thicket. Ordination of site data by DECORANA grouped sites according to these vegetation categories and in a sequence along axis 1 to which the rainfall gradient can be clearly related. Variation within the mesic kaffrarian thicket was however greater than between some of the other thicket types, indicating that more data are required before these forms of thicket can be formalized. Composition, endemism, diversity and the environmental controls on the distribution of the thicket types are discussed.

    Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa Using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data Pilot Study – Catchment Management Area 15 by D van Bladeren, P K Zawada and D Mahlangu SRK Consulting & Council for Geoscience Report to the Water Research Commission on the project “Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data” WRC Report No 1260/1/07 ISBN 078-1-77005-537-7 March 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years South Africa has experienced several devastating flood events that highlighted the need for more accurate and reasonable flood estimation. The most notable events were those of 1995/96 in KwaZulu-Natal and north eastern areas, the November 1996 floods in the Southern Cape Region, the floods of February to March 2000 in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape provinces and the recent floods in March 2003 in Montagu in the Western Cape. These events emphasized the need for a standard approach to estimate flood probabilities before developments are initiated or existing developments evaluated for flood hazards. The flood peak magnitudes and probabilities of occurrence or return period required for flood lines are often overlooked, ignored or dealt with in a casual way with devastating effects. The National Disaster and new Water Act and the rapid rate at which developments are being planned will require the near mass production of flood peak probabilities across the country that should be consistent, realistic and reliable.

  • Fish to Sundays ISP, February 2005
    Fish to Sundays Internal Strategic Perspective CHAPTER 2 - OVERVIEW OF THE ISP AREA 2.1 INTRODUCTION This ISP area has very little water of its own and the underlying geology also results in much of this being of very poor quality. The Kat and Koonap rivers, and to a lesser extent the Tarka River, are the only tributaries with significant own resources. The Orange-Fish-Sundays scheme, implemented in the 1970s, moves over 600 million m3 of water each year out of the Orange River Basin, primarily for irrigation in the Fish and Sundays catchments but with water going as far as Port Elizabeth. The hydrology, water balance and economy of the Fish-Sundays system are completely dominated by this imported water. A further allocation of 38 million m3 of water for the irrigation of an additional 4 000 ha of land by resource-poor farmers has been added to the region, but this allocation must still be implemented (26). There are very significant losses through the transfer of water through the system, and saline return flows pose a serious problem for downstream users. Our knowledge of these losses, and the necessary releases and compensations that must be made, is poor, and is further complicated by the variable natural yield of the Fish and Sundays systems. Very significant work is required to improve our knowledge if this system is to be efficiently managed. Areas removed from the main rivers are mainly supplied from groundwater. 2.2 PHYSICAL FEATURES 2.2.1 Locality For practical reasons the Fish to Tsitsikamma WMA was divided into two ISP areas, the Fish to Sundays area, which is the subject of this report, and the Tsitsikamma to Coega area which is covered in DWAF report P WMA 15/000/00/0304.

  • Environmental Water Quality in Makana Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa: a Case Study of Local Government Responsibility for Water Resource Management
    ENVIRONMENTAL WATER QUALITY IN MAKANA MUNICIPALITY, EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA: A CASE STUDY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT VON DER MEDEN CEO 1, PALMER CG 2 , DAVIES-COLEMAN HD #2 , AND GOLA NP 2 1Department of Environmental Sciences, Rhodes University, PO Box 94, Grahamstown, 6140, South Africa. 2Unilever Centre for Environmental Water Quality, Institute for Water Research, Rhodes University, PO Box 94, Grahamstown, 6140, South Africa. # Corresponding author ABSTRACT In South Africa there are two major pieces of water legislation, the National Water Act (No. 36 of 1998) (NWA), which governs water resource management, and the Water Services Act (No. 108 of 1997) (WSP), which legislates the provision of water and sanitation. Institutional arrangements to support the implementation of these Acts are devolved across three levels of government. At the local level, water resource management will be the responsibility of Water User Associations (WUA) and catchment forums (CF). In contrast, water service provision is actively devolved to the municipal level of local government. As there is little guidance for linkages between WUA and forums with municipal structures, there is little direction for municipal action in water resource management. This leaves the challenge of integrating sustainable management of water resources (which supports and limits water use) and effective water service provision to the municipality. Makana Municipality responded to this challenge through the initiation of a local environmental action plan (LEAP), which aims to implement sound environmental management as a first step towards sustainable development. In this paper we outline the LEAP process, report on a present ecological state (PES) assessment of environmental water quality in Makana and recommend implementation plans for the municipality.

The Outreach took place from 21 to 22 October, with the first day being spent in the town of Graaff-Reinet. On the 22nd of October, the Eastern Cape’s Premier, Noxolo Kiviet, and members of her Executive Committee (MECs) opened up the floor to the residents of the District in Willowmore, in the area of Baviaans. Government Spokesperson, Mzukisi Ndara, explained that the Outreach effort was a result of a Cabinet decision taken last year, to visit local government spheres and communities on an annual basis. This, he added, was an inherent part of the Cabinet’s operation to strengthen inter- governmental relations. A number of key issues emanating from last year’s outreach programme were raised and addressed during the Outreach. A popular continues onto page 2...
