Dear Stakeholder

BASIC ASSESSMENT APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSED 132KV POWER LINE FROM THE NDUMO

SUBSTATION TO GEZISA SUBSTATION UNDERTAKEN ON BEHALF OF ESKOM HOLDINGS SOC LIMITED

Environmental studies are being undertaken by Zitholele Consulting (Pty) Ltd. for the proposed construction of a

132kV power line and associated infrastructure on the Makhathini Flats of the northern KwaZulu-Natal Province of

South Africa. The proponent of the proposed project is Eskom Holdings State Owned Company (SOC) Limited.

Environmental studies are required in terms of Section 24 (5) of the National Environmental Management Act

([NEMA] Act No 107 of 1998) and Government Notice Regulations (GNR 543 - 546 – Government Gazette No.

33306) published on 18 June 2010, of Eskom’s intent to construct the aforementioned infrastructure.

You are hereby invited to formally register as an Interested and/or Affected Party (I&AP) and to participate in the

Basic Assessment processes by using the registration and comment sheet in the enclosed Background Information

Document. Please return the comment sheet by 14 December 2012 for this initial public notification process,

although submissions and public participation will still continue throughout the project.

Kindly send your reply to Warren Kok or Patiswa Mnqokoyi at the Public Participation Office on fax number 086-676-

9950 or e-mail to [email protected] / [email protected]. You are also welcome to contact Zitholele

telephonically on (011) 207-2060.

Yours sincerely

Warren Kok ZITHOLELE CONSULTING Public Participation Office

PROPONENT OF THE PROJECT

Eskom Holdings SOC Limited (Eskom) is the South African utility that generates, transmits

and distributes electricity. Eskom supplies about 95% of the country's electricity and about

60% of the total electricity consumed in Africa. Eskom plays a major role in accelerating

growth in the South African economy by providing a high quality supply of electricity.

MOTIVATION FOR THE PROJECT

The existing 22kV network emanating from

the existing Makhatini and Nondabuya

132/22kV substations are highly constrained

in terms of capacity and cannot cater for

additional electrification load growth on the

Makhatini Flats. It is therefore imperative to

establish a new 132kV network of power

lines and substations on the Makhatini Flats

to cater for existing and projected

electrification load growth through the

Makhatini grid strengthening project.

New 132/22KV substations are required

near Shemula Gate (called Ndumo

Substation), Mbazwana (called Mbazwana)

and Manguzi (called Gezisa).

DETAILS OF THIS PROJECT

The Makhatini grid strengthening project is

divided into three components, two of which

have already commenced:

1.) Nondabuya – Ndumo 132kV power

line and substation at Ndumo has

obtained authorisation and will soon

proceed to implementation.

2.) Candover Mbazwana Gezisa 132kV

line, including the proposed Gezisa

substation at Manguzi –

environmental authorisation for this

project component is pending; and

the

3.) Ndumo Gesiza 132kV line linking the

proposed Ndumo and Gezisa

substations (This present project).

This project involves the delineation and

approval of a corridor in which to locate a

132kV power line to connect the Ndumo and

Gezisa substations. The corridor for which

authorisation is sought will be approximately

500m wide. However, the actual servitude

of the power line when constructed will only

be 36m wide. Approval of a wider corridor

at this stage is sought to ensure that during

detailed engineering site specific

sensitivities can be taken into account and

avoided when finally aligning the route .

The approximate study area which will be

investigated for the location of the 500m

wide corridor is approximately 40km wide

by 45km long as shown in the attached

map.

The environmental landscape of the

Makhatini Flats is characterized by

sensitive features including threatened

vegetations types; rivers systems, cultural

heritage sites as well as sensitive riparian

vegetation with an interconnected wetland

system into which it feeds. The area also

includes several protected areas including

the Ndumo, Sileza and the Tembe Elephant

Reserves and a community conservation

area.

In terms of national legislation this project

will require Environmental Authorisation

(EA) from the Department of

Environmental Affairs to proceed.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

For electrical purposes, taking into

consideration environmental constraints, it

is preferable that radial feeders to the three

proposed substations be precluded as far as

possible, and a 132KV network ring,

interconnecting all three proposed

substations at Ndumo, Manguzi and

Mbazwana, and linked to the existing 132KV

network at Nondabuya and Candover, be

established.

During routine or major maintenance of

the network, the ring will enable back

feeding to take place, with minimal

disruption to customers’ supply. Radial

feeders limit this function and may result in

customers beyond the point of

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS - NEMA

The proposed projects require a Basic Assessment (BA) in terms

of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), No

107 of 1998 and the new EIA regulations (Government Notice

R.543 to 546, published in June 2010). The Department of

Environmental Affairs (DEA) is the Competent Authority.

A full Environmental Impact Assessment is applicable to all

projects likely to have significant environmental impacts due to

their nature or extent, activities associated with potentially high

levels of environmental degradation, or activities for which the

impacts cannot be easily predicted. In comparison a BA is

required for projects with less significant impacts or impacts

that can easily be mitigated. The difference between the

processes relates to the nature of the proposed development in

terms of its potential impact on the environment, and this is

reflected in the level of detail of information that is collected in

as well as the level of interaction with Interested and Affected

Parties (I&APs).

In terms of Regulation 543 546 gazetted in terms of Section 24

of the NEMA, 1998, Eskom requires a BA process to be

conducted for this proposed project.

In terms of Regulation Government Notice R. 544, Listing Notice

1 of 2010, the following listed activities are applicable:

Activity 10: The construction of facilities or infrastructure

for the transmission and distribution of electricity:

(i) Outside urban areas or industrial complexes with a

capacity of more than 33 but less than 275 kilovolts.

This activity applies to any construction work for the substation

or power lines.

Activity 11: The construction of:

(xi) Infrastructure or structures covering 50 square metres

or more which may occur in a watercourse or 32 metres of

a watercourse/wetland, where unavoidable.

This activity applies to construction of any infrastructure for the

project covering 50 square metres or more within or 32m from

a watercourse.

Activity 18: the infilling or depositing of any material of more

than 5 cubic metres into, or the dredging, excavation, removal

or moving of soil, sand, shells, shell grit, pebbles or rock or more

than 5 cubic metres from

(i) a watercourse;

Activity 22: The construction of a road, outside urban

areas:

(i) With a reserve wider than 13.5 metres; or

(ii) Where no reserve exists where the road is wider than 8

metres.

This activity applies to any construction of access roads to get

machinery or equipment to the pylons, where the

abovementioned thresholds apply within non sensitive areas.

Activity 26: Any process or activity identified in terms of

Section 53(1) of the National Environmental Management:

Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act 10 of 2004).

This activity will only apply if the area where the substation will

be located is within a sensitive area identified by the Act.

In terms of Regulation Government Notice R. 546, Listing Notice

3 of 2010, the following listed activities are applicable:

Activity 3: The construction of masts or towers of any

material or type used for telecommunication broadcasting

or radio transmission purposes where the mast:

(a) Is to be placed on a site previously not used for this

purpose and;

(b) Will exceed 15 metres in height but excluding

attachments to existing buildings and masts on

rooftops.

This activity applies to towers for Eskom telecommunication

which may have to be constructed at the substation areas.

Towers will likely be in excess of 15 metres depending on the

location of the substation and surrounding areas.

Activity 4: The construction of a road wider than 4 metres

with a reserve less than 13,5 metres.

This activity applies to the construction of access roads 6

metres or more wide for the construction and maintenance of

the proposed power line and substation within sensitive areas.

Several specialist assessments will be

conducted as part of the Basic Assessment. Amongst other

an Avifauna study will be conducted to identify breeding

areas, foraging areas, and sensitive habitats for bird

species sensitive to power line construction and operation.

The surface water features over the entire study area (including wetlands, perennial and non-

perennial rivers, pans and dams) will be identified and mapped.

Vegetation and Animal life over the extent of the study area will be assessed.

In addition to the avifauna, ecology and surface water studies, the team proposes to undertake a soil and land capability

assessment, heritage investigation, geological and geotechnical assessment and an investigation into the

topography as well as the current land use.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS – BASIC ASSESSMENT

A Basic Assessment (BA) is used to obtain an objective view of

the potential environmental and social impacts that could

arise during the investigation, construction and operation of

a proposed project. A critical element of the BA is the public

participation process that gives interested and affected

parties (I&APs) an opportunity to provide comments on a

proposed development.

The information contained in the Basic Assessment Report

(BAR) must provide the competent authority with adequate

information for informed decision making. The BAR, which is

the final stage of investigation and recommendation, must:

Identify the potential impacts of the proposed

development;

Record the issues, concerns and suggestions raised by

I&APs; and;

Outline the measures to be taken to avoid or reduce

negative impacts and enhance positive impacts.

The Basic Assessment process has a technical and a public

participation component which run parallel to each other.

Technical component

The Technical component is divided into two phases: The

Inception Phase; and the Basic Assessment and Investigation

Phase.

Inception Phase

In the Inception Phase a Basic Assessment Application form is

submitted to the relevant authority, the Department of

Environmental Affairs (DEA) to confirm whether the technical

and public participation processes and measures suggested,

are in accordance with its requirements.

During this phase, alternative corridor routes for the power

lines are identified and screened for potential environmental

and social impacts. As part of the process to refine the

recommendation a field inspection of the sites is undertaken

together with independent specialists.

Basic Assessment and Investigation Phase

Once the Inception Phase has been concluded the terms of

reference for specialist studies will be confirmed and

investigations will continue. It is envisaged at present that the

following studies will be undertaken: visual, avi fauna,

biodiversity (fauna, ecological, wetland, botanical) and a

heritage impact assessment.

The findings of these studies, together with input from the

public participation process will be incorporated into the

BAR, which is the outcome of this phase. A Draft BAR will be

available for public comment before the document is

finalised and submitted to the DEA.

Public participation component

As an important element in undertaking the BA for the

proposed project, Zitholele Consulting will also conduct the

public participation. This component will enable stakeholders

to influence the course of the investigations and to review

the findings of the independent studies that are to be

undertaken. The steps of the public participation component

are outlined below.

The following activities will be implemented to achieve the

aforementioned objectives:

Advertising public notice in regional and local

newspapers;

Placement of site notice boards around the sites being

investigated;

Supplying adjacent landowners with this Background

Information Document (BID);

Contacting stakeholders and notifying them of the

process;

Documenting stakeholder correspondence within the

Draft BAR that will be made available for public review;

and

Notifying stakeholders when the Environmental

Authorisation is issued.

Basic Assessment Reports

The Draft Basic Assessment Report (BAR), together with a Draft Environmental Management Programme (EMP) will be made

available for comment for a period of four weeks. Interested and affected parties (I&APS) will be notified of the public comment

period in advance. The Final Basic Assessment Report will be prepared, incorporating all additional inputs received during the public

comment period. This final report will then be submitted to the DEA for authorisation.

Final notification from authorities

Once the relevant authority, the DEA, has issued the Environmental Authorisation, I&APs will be notified of the decision and what

procedure to follow should they wish to appeal the Environmental Authorisation.
