Heritage Impact Assessment: Proposed Aggeneys 2 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT: PROPOSED AGGENEYS 2 - 100 MW SOLAR PV FACILITY AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE NEAR AGGENEYS, NAMAKWALAND MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT, NORTHERN CAPE Required under Section 38(8) of the National Heritage Resources Act (No. 25 of 1999). HWC SAHRA Case No.: 13729 Report for: Savannah Environmental (Pty) Ltd 1st floor, Block 2, 5 Woodlands Drive Office Park Corner Woodlands Drive and Western Service Road, Woodmead, 2191 Tel: (011) 656 3237 Email: [email protected] On behalf of: ABO Wind Aggeneys 2 PV (Pty) Ltd Dr Jayson Orton ASHA Consulting (Pty) Ltd 40 Brassie Street, Lakeside, 7945 Tel: (021) 783 0557 | 083 272 3225 Email: [email protected] 1st draft: 13 February 2019 Final report: 31 March 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ASHA Consulting (Pty) Ltd was appointed by Savannah Environmental (Pty) Ltd to conduct an assessment of the potential impacts to heritage resources that might occur with the proposed development of the 100 MW Aggeneys 2 photo-voltaic (PV) solar energy facility and associated infrastructure to be located on the farm Bloemhoek 61/rem (12 378.97 ha in extent), some 12 km southeast of Aggeneys, Namakwaland Magisterial District, Northern Cape. The study area is centred on S29° 17’ 15” E18° 57’ 11”. The project falls within the Springbok 8 Renewable Energy Development Zone. The project will include: » Arrays of PV panels up to 3.5 m high (fixed-tilt PV, single-axis tracking PV or double-axis tracking PV) on up to a maximum 233 ha and with a contracted capacity of up to 100MW; » Mounting structures to support the PV panels; » Cabling between the project components (to be lain underground where applicable); » On-site substation (c. 0.625 ha); » On-site inverters to convert the power from a direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); » On-site step-up transformers; » Site Offices and Maintenance Buildings (c. 1 ha), including workshop areas for maintenance and storage, canteen, visitor’s centre; » Gatehouse and security office; » Laydown area (c. 5 ha); » Main site access road (c. 200-400 m long and 6 m wide, tarred if necessary); » Internal access roads (c. 18-20 km total length and 4-5 m wide); and » Fencing. The 250 ha site is relatively flat and sandy with a light gravel coating and minimal vegetation. Ground visibility was excellent. No heritage resources were identified within the proposed footprint, although several isolated stone artefacts attributable to background scatter were noted. Because no significant impacts to heritage resources are expected it is recommended that the proposed Aggeneys 2 PV development be authorised. The following should be included as conditions of authorisation: • If any change in the footprint occurs, then an archaeologist should be consulted for an opinion on whether a survey is required; and • If any archaeological or palaeontological material or human burials are uncovered during the course of development then work in the immediate area should be halted. The find would need to be reported to the heritage authorities and may require inspection by an archaeologist. Such heritage is the property of the state and may require excavation and curation in an approved institution. ASHA Consulting (Pty) Ltd | Reg. no.: 2013/220482/07 ii Glossary Background scatter: Artefacts whose spatial position is conditioned more by natural forces than by human agency. Early Stone Age: Period of the Stone Age extending approximately between 2 million and 200 000 years ago. Holocene: The geological period spanning the last approximately 10-12 000 years.

    Agency for Cultural Resource Management Specialists in Archaeological Studies and Heritage Resource Management No. 5 Stuart Road Rondebosch, 7700 Phone/Fax 021- 685 7589 E-mail: [email protected] Cellular: 082 321 0172 RECOMMENDED EXEMPTION FROMFURTHER ARCHAEOLOGICALSTUDIES: THE PROPOSED NAMAQUA REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY SCHEME BETWEEN HENKRIES AND STEINKOPF, NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE July 2012 1. OUTLINE OF THE DEVELOPMENT The proposed project entails the replacement of the existing water supply pipeline from Henkries to Steinkopf (Nama Khoi Municipality) in the Namaqualand region of the Northern Cape Province (Figures 1& 2). Henkries is located about 3 kms south of the Orange River, while Steinkopf is located 25 kms north of Springbok, which is about 550 kms north of Cape Town, alongside the N7. A separate application for a new water supply pipeline between Bulletrap and Okiep and between Rooiwinkel and Nababeep has already been subjected to an archaeological impact and scoping assessment (Kaplan 2011a, b).Historically, both Okiep and Nababeep are important towns in the history of copper mining in Namaqualand (Smallberger 1995). The larger project ultimately entails replacing the entire ± 200 km network of water supply pipelines in the region, which extends all the way to Kleinzee on the Richtersveld coast. The existing 200 km long water supply pipeline between Henkries and Kleinzee was installed in 1973 and its condition has deteriorated rapidly since 1992. The pipeline is the main potable water supply pipeline from the Orange River that supplies numerous small towns in the region, including Henkries, Steinkopf, Bulletrap, Nababeep, Okiep, Carolousberg, Concordia, Springbok and Kleinzee. The steel and asbestos pipes have an average age of about 38 years, and most of the distribution pipes are currently in need of urgent repair and replacement as a result of frequent breakages and leakages.

  • Proposed Aggeneis-Paulputs 400 Kv Transmission Powerline and Substation Upgrades, Namaqua & Siyanda Districts, Northern Cape Province
    PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT: DESKTOP STUDY Proposed AggeneIs-Paulputs 400 kV TransmIssion PowerlIne and SubstatIon Upgrades, Namaqua & SIyanda DistrIcts, Northern Cape ProvInce John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] November 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom is proposing to construct a new 400 kV transmission powerline of about 100 km length between the existing Aggeneis substation near Aggeneys to the existing Paulputs substation near Pofadder, Namaqua & Siyanda Districts, Northern Cape Province. Three route alignments (Corridors 1, 2 & 3) are currently under consideration, with a possible short deviation (3A) in the case of Corridor 3. The electrical infrastructure project will also entail upgrading the existing Aggeneis and Paulputs Substations with concomitant small increases in their footprints. The powerline and substation study area is underlain at depth by igneous and metamorphic basement rocks of Precambrian age as well as by a mantle of varied superficial deposits such as aeolian sands, gravels and alluvium of the Pleistocene to Recent Kalahari Group. In terms of palaeontological sensitivity outcrop areas of basement rocks are negligible while the overlying Late Caenozoic superficial deposits are generally of low to very low sensitivity. No highly-sensitive palaeontological sites or no-go areas have been identified within the 400 kV powerline and substation study area. The ancient Koa River Palaeovalley area near Aggenys, largely buried beneath younger cover sands (Fig. 1), may feature important Tertiary fossils at depth but these are very unlikely to be directly impacted by the shallow excavations envisaged for the present electrical infrastructure project.

  • Heritage Exemption Letter
    11 May, 2020 Attention: Ms Natasha Higgitt SAHRA Case Officer Northern Cape South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) Head Office 111 Harrington Street CAPE TOWN 8001 Dear Ms Higgitt RE: Letter of Recommendation for Exemption of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the Pella Bulk Water Pipeline Project, Northern Cape 1. Project Background Black Mountain Mining (Pty) Ltd, part of Vedanta Zinc International (VZI), owns and operates the Gamsberg Zinc Mine. The Gamsberg Zinc Mine as currently approved will produce up to 10 mtpa in an open pit mine together with a concentrator plant and associated infrastructure. Water is currently sourced from the Orange River through an intake pump house located at Pella Drift, almost 30 km to the north east of the Gamsberg Zinc Mine. Currently a total of 28 Ml/day water is pumped through the existing bulk water pipelines. In order to ensure that the pipeline capacity will meet the future water demand and allow for the complete utilization of the currently licensed abstraction volume of 44 Ml/day Black Mountain Mining (Pty) Ltd, in conjunction with Sedibeng Water, is proposing to replace and upgrade the existing old underground pipeline and associated infrastructure (Figure 1 & 2). This new pipeline will be located within the existing servitude and will supply water to the proposed Gamsberg Smelter Project and existing Gamsberg Zinc Mine, Black Mountain Mine and the surrounding towns (including Aggeneys, Pella, Pofadder and local landowners). This servitude was previously assessed by Webley and Halkett (2017), they recorded Stone Age artefact scatters of low significance. The proposed pipeline is currently located within an existing registered servitude, impacted on by the two existing pipelines (one above ground and one underground) and there is a very low likelihood that any sites of significance will be impacted on by the proposed project.
