1. Introduction

In 2016, Juwi Renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd applied for environmental authorisation in terms of

the National Environmental Management Act (No. 107 of 1998) Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA) Regulations (2010) for construction and operation of the 132kV Overhead

Transmission Line Option 3 (Cuprum) for the Kronos Photovoltaic Development on Nelspoortje

Farm 103 Portion 6, Humansrus Farm 147 Portion 0 and Vogelstruisbult Farm 104 Portion 1 near

Copperton within the Siyathemba Local Municipality in the Northern Cape Province. The project

involves the construction of approximately 12.8km double circuit 132 kV overhead transmission

lines inside a 200m wide assessed corridor between the proposed Kronos Solar Park central

substation and Eskom's Cuprum Substation, and includes the following components:

• self-supporting or suspension pylons (≤60 pylons at 250m intervals) to support each

132 kV line; and

• access and maintenance tracks (gravel) along the transmission line route.

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) issued an Environmental Authorisation (EA) in

terms of the 2010 EIA Regulations for the project on 9 May 2016 to juwi Renewable Energies

(Pty) Ltd.

The Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) submitted with the application for

environmental authorisation for the project was not approved by DEA in the EA dated 9 May 2016,

and the amended EMPr has not yet been submitted to DEA for approval (in terms of Condition 14

of the EA). Furthermore, the authorised activities have not commenced to date.

An amendment to this EA was issued on 4 July 2016 for the correction of a typographical error

within the project description.

Holland and Associates Environmental Consultants have been appointed by Juwi Renewable

Energies (Pty) Ltd to conduct an independent environmental audit of the above in terms of

Regulation 54A(3) of the NEMA EIA Regulations, 2014 (as amended).

2. Audit Requirement

The primary audit requirement arises as a result of an obligation imposed in terms of the NEMA

EIA Regulations, 2014, as amended. In particular, Regulation 54A(3) of the aforementioned

Regulations states:

“Where an environmental authorisation issued in terms of the ECA regulations or the previous

NEMA regulations is still in effect by 8 December 2014, the EMPr associated with such

environmental authorisation is subject to the requirements contained in Part 3 of Chapter 5 of

these Regulations and the first environmental audit report must be submitted to the competent

authority no later than 7 December 2019 and at least every 5 years thereafter for the period during

which such environmental authorisation is still in effect.”

Part 3 of Chapter 5, Section 34 states:



“(1) The holder of an environmental authorisation must, for the period during which the

environmental authorisation and EMPr [Environmental Management Programme], and where

applicable the closure plan, remain valid—

(a) ensure that the compliance with the conditions of the environmental authorisation and the

EMPr, and where applicable the closure plan, is audited; and

(b) submit an environmental audit report to the relevant competent authority.”

In addition, the EIA Regulations (2014), as amended, require that the environmental audit report

must be prepared by an independent person with the relevant environmental auditing expertise;

and comply with Appendix 7 of the EIA Regulations (GN No. R.982, as amended), which sets out

the content requirements for environmental audit reports.

In other words, all holders of Records of Decision or Environmental Authorisations (for Records

of Decision and/or Environmental Authorisations issued in terms of the previous NEMA EIA

Regulations) are required to conduct regular independent environmental audits on the conditions

of authorisation of the Environmental Authorisation and EMPr, and the content of the audit reports

must meet the requirements of Appendix 7 of Regulations (GN No. R.982, as amended), The first

audit report must be submitted to the competent authority before the 7th December 2019.

Appendix 7 of the 2014 NEMA EIA Regulations (as amended);

• Review of all applicable reports, permits and authorisations, including the EA and EA

amendments;

• Compilation of an environmental audit checklist against which to measure compliance;

• Review all applicable documentary records of compliance as provided by the holder of the

EA;

• Compilation of an audit report which meets the objectives and content requirements

reporting on compliance with the conditions of the EA and EMPr (if approved) and

identifies gaps in terms of alignment with conditions and provides recommendations to

address gaps or non- compliance.

4. Assumptions and Limitations

The assumption is made that the information received from the holder of the EA on which this audit

report is based (specialist and project information, as well as information about the holder of the

EA) is accurate and correct.

Conditions of Amendment to Environmental Authorisation (EA dated 9 May 2016) dated 4 July 2016 (DEA Ref.: 14/12/16/3/3/1/1344)

1.1 This amendment letter must be read in conjunction with the EA decision issued on 09 May 2016.

N/A The EA of 09 May 2016, is audited within the table above.



7. Conclusions and Recommendations

An independent audit has been conducted for this project which meets the requirements of

and Section 54A(3) of Regulation 982 of the 2014 EIA Regulations, as amended. The only

non-compliance identified relates to an administrative error in the notification of the decision

and the right to appeal. The letter of notification to I&AP’s as well as the published notice,

notifying I&AP’s of the decision incorrectly notes that the EA was issued on 5 May 2016, when

in fact the EA is dated 9 May 2016. It is noted that the effect of the incorrectly noted EA date,

was to foreshorten the specified deadline for the submission of the Notice of Intent to Appeal,

which was calculated from the incorrect, earlier, date. In the Auditors opinion, this

administrative error was not materially prejudicial to I&AP’s, since any I&AP who was intent

on lodging a Notice of Intent to Appeal, would have been able to access the actual EA decision

and would have been entitled to lodge a notice of a Notice of Intent to Appeal, within 20 days

of the de facto decision date. Furthermore, in the Auditors understanding, any I&AP, who on

becoming aware of the error, had reason to believe that they had been prejudiced, would have

been entitled to apply to the Minister for condonation of a late appeal, which request is likely

to have been granted in the circumstances. It is noted that according to the Holder of the EA,

no appeals were lodged. No corrective action for the above has therefore recommended.

Since no approved Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) exists for the authorised

project, it is not possible to evaluate the effectiveness thereof, or provide any

recommendations. Once an amended EMPr is approved by the Department, the following

Audit will address these aspects.
