IMPACT DESCRIPTION

SPATIAL SCALE

TEMPORAL SCALE/ DURATION

CERTAINTY SCALE/ LIKELIHOOD

SEVERITY/ BENFICIAL SCALE

SIGNIFICANCE PRE-MITIGATION

MITIGATION MEASURES SIGNIFICANCE POST-MITIGATION

GENERAL PLANNING AND DESIGN ISSUES

ALL ALTERNATIVES POLICY COMPLIANCE

Direct The pipeline route may not be consistent with relevant environmental policy and/or spatial guideline documents, (e.g. the alternative routes for the pipeline falls within CBA 2 in terms of ECBCP and within 32m of wetland).

Localised Permanent Possible Severe MODERATE NEGATIVE

The development must comply with relevant legislation and/or policy, e.g. ECBCP, Municipal By-laws, SDFs, etc.

LOW NEGATIVE

LAND OWNERSHIP AND SERVITUDE CONSTRAINTS

Direct The pipeline construction will inconvenience landowners.

Localised Permanent Possible Severe HIGH NEGATIVE

Prior to the start of the construction, servitude agreements must be in place and the areas to be directly impacted must be appropriately demarcated so that no undue impact is made on the surrounding environment.

LOW NEGATIVE

CONSIDERATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Direct/Indirect/Cumulative

Lack of environmental consideration in the route planning and inappropriate placement of the pipeline within sensitive systems along the length of the route.

Project level Permanent Possible Moderately severe

MODERATE NEGATIVE

Where feasible, the routing of the pipeline must be planned to avoid sensitive environments.

An independent Environmental Control Officer (ECO) must be appointed and must give input to the final layout.

Micro-siting of the final pipeline layout must be approved by the ECO.

LOW NEGATIVE

SOCIO-ECONOMIC

Direct Temporary job creation and skills development. Surrounding areas

Short Term Probable

Beneficial VERY BENEFICIAL

No mitigation. VERY BENEFICIAL

Direct

The local community will be provided with potable water.

Project Level Long Term Probable Beneficial VERY BENEFICIAL

No mitigation. VERY BENEFICIAL

PIPELINE MATERIALS

Direct/Indirect The use of inappropriate corrodible material for the pipeline could result in leakages and result in loss of the water resource.

Localised Long term Possible Severe MODERATE NEGATIVE

High quality design specifications (i.e. appointing a suitably qualified engineer) and materials (e.g. SABS approved) must be adopted for all elements of infrastructure design and installation.

LOW NEGATIVE

ACCESS ROADS

Direct/Indirect Access roads for construction and maintenance that are on steep slopes will lead to loss of vegetation and potential soil erosion.

Project level Short term Possible Moderately severe

MODERATE NEGATIVE

Where possible, all construction access roads and tracks must avoid steep slopes or sensitive environments.

LOW NEGATIVE

LANDSCAPE & VISUAL


Aesthetic impacts of the pipeline on the currently open landscape.

Localised Long term Probable Moderate to slight

LOW The area must be re-vegetated with indigenous grasses.

Topsoil excavated on site must be retained and protected for use in landscaping of the area post-construction.

LOW

GEOLOGY & SOILS

Direct Installation of pipeline without taking into account the geology and soil structure along the proposed

Localised Long term Possible Moderately severe

MODERATE NEGATIVE

Unsuitable and unstable geological or soil structure must be avoided as far as possible.

LOW NEGATIVE

IMPACT DESCRIPTION

SPATIAL SCALE






line may result in unnecessary soil erosion and/or damage to geological formations.

ECOLOGY

Direct Permanent loss of thicket vegetation due to pipeline routing.

Localised Permanent Definite Moderately severe

MODERATE NEGATIVE

Construction activities must be limited to the pipeline route.

LOW NEGATIVE

Direct/Indirect The pipeline could result in permanent physical loss of wetlands in the area without proper planning.


HIGH The project layout must be planned to ensure that a buffer zone of 32 metres is maintained and that no development activities occur within watercourses.

Authorisation from DWA must be obtained if any construction footprint takes place inside or within 32 meters of any water body.

LOW

HERITAGE AND PALEONTOLOGY

Direct The heritage and paleontological heritage of the area may be impacted by the pipeline routing.


MODERATE NEGATIVE

The recommended management measures from the Phase 1 Heritage assessment must be incorporated in the final planning and design for the pipeline construction (See Appendix D1 for Heritage Impact Assessment Report).

LOW NEGATIVE

SOIL EROSION

Direct/Indirect The placement of the pipeline on steep slopes may require vegetation clearing and result in significant soil erosion.

Project level Long term Possible Severe MODERATE NEGATIVE

Construction activities must not be located on slopes steeper than 1:6.

Appropriate stormwater routing and attenuation must be implemented to avoid onsite erosion and downstream sedimentation.

LOW NEGATIVE

OPTION A1 (River crossing, north route) Same as the General PLANNING AND DESIGN impacts above; IN ADDITION:

RIVER CROSSING

Direct/Indirect Without proper planning, the pipeline could result in damage to the Nahoon River.

Localised Medium to long term

Possible Severe HIGH The pipeline layout must be planned to ensure that watercourses are not disturbed or damaged.

Water courses within 32 meters of the route must be demarcated and must not be accessible during construction.

All trenches dug within 32 meters of any water courses must be rehabilitated in full.

No work camp or any other temporary construction infrastructure shall be erected within 32 meters of any water body.

Where necessary, water use licenses should be obtained from the Department of Water Affairs for impeding/diverting flow of water.

LOW

OPTION B2 (south of N6) TRAFFIC

Direct/Indirect The N6 is the most direct route between Stutterheim/Queenstown and East London. Construction along this route with cause increased traffic congestion.

Project level Short to medium term

Possible Slight LOW Project planning with BCMM must include adequate measures to avoid traffic congestion during construction phase of the pipeline.

LOW

OPTION C1 (along N6) Same as B2.

OPTION C2 (east of N6) STREAM CROSSING


140


IMPACT DESCRIPTION

SPATIAL SCALE






Direct/Indirect Inappropriate disturbance and modification to streams during construction may lead to hydrological changes.

Localised Medium term Possible Severe HIGH NEGATIVE

Construction on any crossings must comply with the EMPr approved by Department of Water Affairs and Department of Environmental Affairs.

Construction on stream crossings must be done under the supervision of the ECO.

MODERATE NEGATIVE

OPTION C3 (far east of N6) Same as C2.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION ISSUES

ALL ALTERNATIVES NOISE POLLUTION

Direct Noise pollution caused during construction could potentially be a nuisance to neighbouring residential areas and businesses along the pipeline route.

Localised Short term Possible Moderately Severe

MODERATE NEGATIVE

Construction activities and movement of construction vehicles must be limited to the hours 08:00am – 17:00pm.

LOW NEGATIVE

DUST

Direct Dust (air) pollution caused by digging and levelling of exposed soil can cause a nuisance to neighbouring areas and businesses along the pipeline route.

Localised Short term Probable Severe MODERATE NEGATIVE

Cleared surfaces must be dampened whenever possible and especially in dry and windy conditions to avoid excessive dust generation.

Any soil excavated, and not utilised for rehabilitation, must be removed from site or covered and no large mounds of soil should be left behind after construction.

LOW NEGATIVE

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE USAGE

Direct Cement, tar and bitumen mixing techniques and diesel/oil spillage occurring as a result of poorly maintained machinery can contaminate the surrounding environment (soil, surface/groundwater).

Localised Long term Possible Severe MODERATE NEGATIVE

Hazardous Chemical Substances Regulations promulgated in terms of the Occupational Health & Safety Act 85 of 199. And the SABS Code of Practice must be adhered to. This applies to solvents and other chemicals possibly used in the construction process.

Oil trays must be placed under the machinery to avoid soil contamination. All areas affected during the Construction Phase should be rehabilitated.

CONCRETE BATCHING

Concrete should not be mixed directly on the ground, or during rainfall events when the potential for transport to the stormwater system is the greatest (as per the EMPr).

Concrete must be mixed only in the area demarcated for this purpose and on an impermeable substratum.

All areas affected during the Construction Phase must be rehabilitated.

HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL STORAGE

All hazardous chemicals must be properly stored in a
