Dear Sir / Madam
 
INVITATION TO COMMENT: BASIC ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL TOWNSHIP ON PORTION 102 OF THE FARM DOORNKLOOF 391 JR IN GILLIEMEAD, KUNGWINI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, GAUTENG

 
This letter serves to rectify our previous correspondence dated Wednesday, 23 July 2008. Please be advised that the project description on the locality map was incorrect. Attached, please find the correct locality map.
 
Urban Dynamics Inc proposes to establish an Industrial and Commercial development on Portion 102 of the Farm Doornkloof 391 JR in Gilliemead, North East of Clayville between Johannesburg and Pretoria, west of the R21, Kungwini Local Municipality, Gauteng.
 
Please note that a separate Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is being conducted for the properties located directly south of Portion 102. The aforementioned EIA process is currently in its Scoping Phase and the draft EIA report will be made available for public review in the near future. Please note that although two separate applications are being submitted to the environmental authorities for their decision, it forms part of one proposed development; i.e. should these two environmental applications be approved, it will result in one industrial and commercial township being developed.
 
The proposed development will involve the development of associated infrastructure such as roads, water services and waste removal.
 
Urban Dynamics Inc appointed Strategic Environmental Focus (Pty) Ltd (SEF) as an independent environmental consultancy to facilitate this Basic Assessment (BA) including the public participation process. In terms of Sections 24 and 24(D) of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended, and as read with Government Notices R385 (Regulations 22 – 26) and R386, a Basic Assessment is required for the following listed activities:
 
Item 1(k)   The construction of facilities or infrastructure, including associated structures or infrastructure, for the bulk transportation of sewage and water, including storm water, in pipelines with an internal diameter of 0.36m or more; or a peak throughput of 120 litres per second or more.
 
Item 1(l)   The construction of facilities or infrastructure, including associated structures or infrastructure, for the transmission and distribution of electricity above ground with a capacity of more than 33 kilovolts and less than 120 kilovolts.
 
Item 1(m)  The construction of facilities or infrastructure, including associated structures or infrastructure, for any purpose in the one in ten year flood line of a river or stream, or within 32 metres from the bank of a river or stream where the flood line is unknown, excluding purposes associated with existing residential use, but including –  (i) canals; (ii) channels; (iii) bridges; (iv) dams; and (v) weirs.
 
Item 1(s)   The construction of facilities or infrastructure, including associated structures or infrastructure, for the treatment of effluent, wastewater or sewage with an annual throughput capacity of more than 2 000 cubic metres but less than 15 000 cubic metres.
 
Item 12       The transformation or removal of indigenous vegetation of 3 hectares or more or of any size where the transformation or removal would occur within a critically endangered or an endangered ecosystem listed in terms of section 52 of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No. 10 of 2004).
 
Item 15        The construction of a road that is wider than 4 metres or that has a reserve wider than 6 metres, excluding roads that fall within the ambit of another listed activity or which are access roads of less than 30 metres long.
 
Item 19       The development of a new facility or the transformation of an existing facility for the conducting of manufacturing processes, warehousing, bottling, packaging, or storage, which, including associated structures or infrastructure, occupies an area of 1 000 square metres or more outside an existing area zoned for industrial purposes.
 
A Basic Assessment is being conducted to ensure that the environmental impacts that may be associated with the proposed development are taken into consideration. Interested and affected parties (I&APs) have an opportunity to comment by providing issues of concern and/or suggestions for enhanced benefits and/or alternatives; and to ensure that the Competent Authority, the Gauteng Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Environment (GDACE), has sufficient information to make a decision.
 
Should you wish to participate in the BA by contributing issues of concerns/comments, please register as an I&AP by completing the enclosed Registration and Comment Sheet on or before Monday, 25 August 2008. (PLEASE CONTACT SEF FOR COMMENT SHEETS -  Khomotjo Kwenaite at Tel: (012) 349 1307)
 
Meanwhile, should you have any questions, or would like to obtain more information, please feel free to contact myself, or Khomotjo Kwenaite at Tel: (012) 349 1307, Fax: 086 640 5815 or E-mail: ctu@sefsa.co.za.
