1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Kalahari Holdings PTY Ltd (hereinafter KHP) – a 100% owned and managed Namibia company intends to develop a shopping mall on its land located on Erf 6287, Kuisebmund, Walvis Bay. A fuel station is planned to complement the mall with a view to provide services to the hundreds of motorists who will be coming to shop at the mall. In terms of the Environmental Management Act (Act No. 7 of 2007), a fuel service is a listed activity which may not be developed without an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) having been granted by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT). An ECC is granted by MEFT after an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been conducted. To this end KHP has appointed Ekwao Consulting (hereinafter Ekwao) to handle the EIA for its fuel service station.

1.2 TERMS OF REFERENCES

The terms for this EIA were to:

critically look into the location and suitability of the site for the proposed activity

provide a detailed description of the Baseline Information and to list the national environmental legislative and regulatory frameworks which have bearings on the development

provide a description, evaluation and analysis of the potential environmental impacts which the proposed development is likely to pose, expressed in terms of the bio-physical and socio-economic aspects

present an evaluation of the technology, procedures and processes to be used in the implementation of the project

conduct a Public Participation Process (PPP) during which the views, concerns, inputs and attitudes of the community particularly the nearby residents are assessed and evaluated towards the proposed development

formulate an Environmental Management Plan (EMP), proposing the measures to be taken to eliminate and to minimize adverse impacts on the environment during the Construction and Operational Phases of the service station

submit the EIA Report to the Ministry of Environmental, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) for consideration whether or not to award or to refuse the award of an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the planned development

1.3 STRUCTURE OF THE EIA

The EIA will consist of three sections:

Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

Public Participation Process (PPP), and

Page 9: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 2

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) covering the construction and operational

phases of the fuel retail service station

This report represents as far as possible the outcome of the Scoping and EIA conducted with respect to the proposed development.

1.4 APPROACH

Ekwao has adopted an investigative approach which took into account the existing

environment and the possible impacts which the proposed filling station will bring to bear to

the biophysical and socio-economic environments. The proposed site Erf 6287 which

measures 14 565 m2 in was assessed by way of:

physical observations

visual surveying

taking of photographic images, and

discussions with the local authority officials (Walvis Bay Municipality)

discussions with the representatives of the proponents, and

the residents in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site

A description of the property (land) and its location were critically assessed and considered for

suitability to the prosed development. All national legislations, policies and guidelines that are

applicable to the planned activity are also listed and highlighted.

Mitigation measures for identified environmental impacts were considered over the two

phases of the development which are:

the Construction Phase which includes the pre-construction, construction and post

construction activities

the Operational Phase which entails the day-to-day operational activities of the

development

Mechanism for monitoring and evaluation of compliance were proposed and are included in

the EMP.

Finally, a Public Participation Process (PPP) as required by the Environmental Management

Act was conducted within the restrictions imposed by GRN to deal with the Covid-19

pandemic.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND FILLING STATION CONSTRUCTION PROTOCOLS

2.1.1 Site Context

KHP owns Erf 6287 situated in the Kuisebmund township of Walvis Bay which measures

approximately 14 565 m2 as more or less depicted in Figures 1 & 2 above. KHP intends to

develop a modern retail complex on the land completed by a filling station and associated

infrastructures. The plan is to do the development in a phased in approach, starting with the

construction of the filling station and related activities and thereafter with the construction of

the retail section.

The footprint for the entire built up area (comprising of retail shopping mall and filling station)

is 4777 m2 which is 33% of the total land area. The filling station itself will have a footprint of

317 m2 excluding the convenience shop and parking spaces for patrons.

The said site is in Extension 6 of Kuisebmund, abutting Sam Nujoma Avenue to the south,

New Western Avenue to the west and 2nd Avenue to the north and east as depicted in Figure

2. From Kuisebmund, the site is exactly halfway to the Walvis Bay CBD and therefore

strategically located to service the growing population of Kuisebmund and adjacent

extensions.

2.1.2 Zoning Aspects

The site is currently zoned as „institutional‟, however; a rezoning process has been initiated to

rezone the land from institutional to „General Business‟ to accommodate the development

envisaged by the proponent. A rezoning with a bulk of 1.0 has been applied for and is

currently underway. Consent has also been made to the Walvis Bay Municipality to allow the

construction of the first phase, i.e. filling station concurrently with the rezoning process.

.

2.1.3 The Filling Station

Figure 2 provides an indication of the proposed filling station layout and access road to the

shopping mall. Access to the site will be provided from Sam Nujoma Avenue and adequate

parking has been provided in the design for the mall (Fig. 3).

In Figure 3 only an indication of the conceptual layout plan for the various components of

shopping mall has been provided. A detailed layout plan indicating the exact filling station

including information pertaining to oil traps, fuel leak monitoring system, etc. will only be

available once the proponent has concluded franchising terms with a preferred oil company

(e.g. Engen, Shell, Total, etc.).

In general the envisaged filling station will consist of the following:

Underground tanks/tank farm (Unleaded and diesel)

Pump island (above-ground fuel pumps and hose dispensers)

Associate pump and tank infrastructure (e.g. delivery pipes, fillers, suction pump, etc.)

Figure 3: Top – Project Layout & Bottom: Master Plan for the Proposed Development

Page 13: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 6

2.1.3.1 The Tank Farm

The tank farm will comprise of 4 (perhaps 5) 23 000 litres underground tanks and associated

infrastructures. Two tanks will be installed for 50ppm diesel and two for 95 unleaded petrol.

Based on this installation of four tanks, approximately 92 m3 of fuel can be stored on site for

sale. The tank farm should be located at least 3 m clear of any surface structures. The

following dimensions would be applicable for tank installation:

Length: 1 m in excess of overall length of tank

Breadth: 1 m in excess of tank diameter

Depth: the top of the tank must be a minimum depth of 1 250 mm below the finished ground

level.

2.1.3.2 Fuel Dispersion and Forecourt Area

In general, the underground tanks would be refuelled through fillers located a few meters from

the tanks. Fuel would then be pumped from the underground tanks to the above-ground pump

island (fuel pumps) via delivery pipes by using either suction pumps or submersible turbine

pumps.

Concrete islands (with crash barriers) would be provided on which the fuel pumps (with hose

dispensers) and air supply would be constructed.

In order to prevent soil and water pollution as a result of accidental spills, the forecourt would

be located on top of a concrete containment slab. A stormwater channel with catchpit should

be installed along the boundary of the forecourt to capture any polluted runoff water. A canopy

would also be installed which would divert clean rainwater away from the forecourt area.

2.1.3.3 Fuel Leak Monitoring Wells:

Fuel leak monitoring wells would be installed at the filling station to monitor for possible tank

leakage and to act as future observation wells.

Usually, high density polyethylene slotted/perforated pipes (160 mm) wrapped in a porous

geotextile or ABS single-walled wedge-slot tabular screens would be installed on the centre

line of the tanks. The bottom ends would be plugged and the top ends finished off with a

suitable plumber plug. The wells would be taken down to 500 mm – 1 m below the floor of the

excavation depending on the nature of the soils. Provision

2.1.3.4 Backfilling

Backfill material will be placed in 130 mm layers up to the top of the tank and will be well

compacted at the optimum moisture content (maximum 90% Mod AASHTO). If necessary the

tanks should be half-filled with water to prevent floatation caused by the compaction of the

backfill material. Once the excavations around the tanks have been backfilled, the manhole,

concrete slab (saddle) and pipe work will be installed. Finally, the tank farm will be backfilled

with wet soilcrete (8:1 river sand: cement mix up to the pavement formation level.

2.1.3.5 Filling Station Construction Standards

Since Namibia is still in the process of developing its own filling station construction standards,

the underground tanks and related infrastructure will be installed in accordance with the

various Health, Safety and Environment Policies of South Africa and standard specifications of

the appointed oil company. In this regard all work at the filling station will be done in

accordance to the following SANS standards:

SANS 10089 PART 3 (2010): The Petroleum Industry Part 3: The installation, modification

and decommissioning of underground storage tanks, pump/dispensers and pipework at

service stations and consumer installations.

SANS 10089 Part 2 (2007): The Petroleum Industry Part 2: Electrical and other installations in

the distribution and marketing sector.

SANS 1535 (2207): Glass-reinforced polyester-coated steel tanks for the underground

storage for hydrocarbons and oxygenated solvents and intended for burial horizontally.

2.2 EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURES

2.2.1 Access to the Site

As can be seen in Figure 4, the site is sandwiched between three main routes – Sam Nujoma

to the south, New Western Avenue to the west and 2nd Avenue to the north and east. Sam

Nujoma Avenue is the main road linking the Walvis Bay CBD to the Kuisebmund residential

section. The Western Avenue is providing a short access to the fish factories, the naval base

facilities and to the new residential sections of Kuisebmund.

Figure 4: Roads & Access to the Project Site

Page 17: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 10

With a surface area of 14 565 m2 (1.5 ha) the site is quite big and the link services (roads and electricity) and internal reticulations (water, electricity, sewerage, routes and outside lighting) of the development will be shouldered by the developer to the satisfaction of the Walvis Bay Municipality.

2.2.2 Water Supply and Fire Fighting The proposed filling station will connect to the existing water distribution network of the Walvis

Bay Municipality. This applies to the water for fire fighting purposes as well. All fire-fighting controls will be in accordance with the National Building Regulations, the SANS Code of Practice (related to the Community Protection against Fire). The Fire Department of the Walvis Bay Municipality should be consulted with regard to the fire water design and required approvals obtained.

As a guideline, the expected water demand/daily flow for the envisaged filling station is

expected to be as follows:

Expected water consumption of potable water (based on 0.4 kiloliters per 100 m2 potential floor area per day)

(319 m2/100) * 0.4 = 1 276 liters per day with expected flow rate of 0.0

Expected water consumption for wash bay if required

2000 liter per day

Fire water peak flow rate 100 liter per second

Overall, the water requirement for the development is not expected to present any negative

impacts on the existing water resource of the town. However, water should be used sparingly and serious consideration should be given to recycle water used at car wash bays.

2.2.3 Electricity Supply Electricity is available on site. The local electricity network is owned by Erongo Red and the

developer will have to apply from Erongo Red for the connection of electricity at its site. The existing power supply is sufficient to cater for the proposed development.

In the long term, solar panels installed on the rooftops of the buildings can supplement the

energy requirements of the filling station. This will reduce the energy bill of the service station considerably. Overall, the energy requirement for the project is not expected to have any negative impact on the current electricity demands in the town of Walvis Bay.

2.2.4 Sewerage System The filling station will be connected to the existing sewerage network of the Walvis Bay

Municipality. As standard practice, the number of toilets and or ablution facilities required for the fuel retail service station has to be indicated on the drawings which have to be submitted to the local authority for approval.

2.2.5 Stormwater Control or Site Surface Drainage Walvis Bay is, essentially, part of the Namib Desert which receives an annual rainfall of

approximately 15 mm. This low rainfall has meant that the coastal towns (Swakopmund and Henties Bay) have been developed without storm water systems. Of late, Walvis Bay has been receiving heavy downpours, possibly due to global warming or climatic change, resulting in flooding of street roads. It is therefore imperative to anticipate incidents of above average

Page 18: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 11

rainwater and to provide for an engineering solution in the design and construction of the fuel station so as to divert surface run-off and stormwater.

The site itself is flat with a slight fall to the south. Normally, rain that falls onto the canopy or

rooftop of the filling station will be treated as clean water and routed separately to the overall site storm water management system. Water from the forecourt, fuel delivery pavements and car wash bays must be routed via a grease/oil separator in order to remove any potential contaminants.

2.2.6 Waste Handling

During the construction and operational phases, waste (solid and liquid) has to be taken care

of, as provided for in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared for the development. Suitable waste skips have to be provided, emptied and cleaned in line with the bylaws of the Walvis Bay Municipality.

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES 3.1 Introduction

Alternatives to the proposed development have been considered and investigated in terms of the following aspects:

Proposed Site Scenario

Alternative Site Scenario

No Action Alternative/Scenario, and

Comparisons of Alternatives

3.1.1 Proposed Site Scenario

The proponent identified the opportunity to develop a shopping mall and a filling station to

compliment the development on Erf 6287 located as described elsewhere in this document. The relocation option to a different site is an option available for the project implementation; however the selection of a site intended for use as a fuel retail service station is made based on evaluations of a number of factors such as traffic volumes, site accessibilities, availability of services (water, electricity, sewerage, waste disposal,) etc.

The decision to develop this specific site is due to the following:

The land is already owned by the promoter and is undeveloped. In fact, the land has been undeveloped for years.

The site is part of an already established township of Walvis Bay, namely, the Kuisebmund Township and is zoned as „Business‟ which is in line with the envisaged development.

Easy access to services (water, sewage, electricity, waste removal) since the site is already serviced as part of the established township

The site is easily accessible from Sam Nujoma Avenue which provides access to the townships of Kuisebmund and Narravile.

The Western Avenue to the west of the site is providing access to the fishing factories, the Namibia Naval Base and the new extensions to Kuisebmund

The site is highly visible to passing traffic using Sam Nujoma Avenue to the south, Western Avenue to the west and 2nd Avenue to the north and south and lends itself perfectly in terms of visibility required for a filling station.

Page 19: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 12

Sam Nujoma Avenue is the main road used by the Walvis Bay inbound traffic from B2 Highway and outbound traffic using the same B2 Highway, making the site ideal to cater for this traffic volume.

The filling station will provide a convenient service to the general public visiting the mall and surrounding businesses.

The site is big enough to accommodate both the shopping mall and filling station.

The promoter has purchased the specific site based on its strategic location for the intended purposes.

3.1.2 Alternative Site Scenario

It is common knowledge that serviced land for development of businesses, construction of housing and industries is in limited supply from almost all local authorities throughout the country. For the developer to look for an alternative site will be a cumbersome process and there is no guarantee that any such site will be successfully secured. The promoter has already made substantial initial investments to buy the land and in getting the designs for the proposed shopping mall and service station drawn up, which are ready for submission to the local authority for approval. An alternative site would therefore result in the loss for the funds already paid for the land and to professional service providers such as Architect, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyors. In consideration of the above concerns and assessment of the current site, the option for an alternative site is not a feasible proposition at this stage. In fact, no alternative site was assessed because there is no alternative site. This site belongs to the promoter already.

3.1.3 The ‘No Action’ Alternative

The „No-action Alternative‟ in respect to the proposed project implies that the status quo is maintained. This option is the most suitable alternative from an extreme environmental perspective because it ensures non-interference with the existing conditions. However, the need for such a development is high and the anticipated insignificance environmental impacts resulting from the Construction Phase have already been experienced (the site is in built up area). This option will however, involve several losses both to the project proponent, the Walvis Bay Municipality (no payment for services/rates), the Namibian community at large (no employment) and Central Government in that no tax will be paid to the State coffers. The land which is zoned for business will remain undeveloped and under-utilized or neglected. The „no project‟ option is the least preferred option from the socio-economic and partly environmental perspective because, if the project is not done:

the economic benefits likely to accrue to community especially during the Construction Phase, i.e. provision of jobs for skilled and non-skilled workers will not be realised

there will be no generation of income by the developer and the local authority (Walvis Bay Municipality) will not be paid for the provision of rates and taxes

the social-economic status of Namibia and the local people would remain unchanged

the available local skills would remain under utilised

Page 20: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 13

no employment opportunities will be created for Namibians who will otherwise work at the fuel retail service station after the construction has been successfully completed

the scenario of no-action clearly sends out a negative vibe and discourages potential investors to investor in the local oil industry

From the above explanations, it is obvious that the „No Project Alternative‟ is not a

desirable alternative from the socio-economic perspectives since no benefits will accrue to anyone including the promoter, the local authority, the youths roaming around the streets looking for employment and central Government (no taxes, etc.).

However, from the environment conservation perspective, the „No Action Alternative‟ will

be beneficial in that any potential negative impacts associated with the project implementation will be avoided.

The “No Action Alternative” should not be adopted, as there is a fundamental need to

encourage sustainable development as long as such developments are conducted in line with the provisions of the Environmental Management Act and abiding by the provisions outlined in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for such a development.

3.1.4 Comparing of Alternatives

Under the „Development Alternative/Scenario‟ the proposed development would provide direct

and indirect employment to the local people. During the Construction Phase, jobs will be provided to the construction workers in trades such as bricklayers, plasters, joiners, electricians, pavers, carpenters, plumbers, etc.

The Construction Phase will be followed by the Operational Phase (business phase) in which

jobs in the form of fuel jockeys, shop attendants, cleaners, security/guards, cashiers, etc. will be provided. Employees will be drawn from the local community, hence combating the scourge of unemployment.

In the event of a „No Action Alternative/Scenario‟ development will not take place. There

would be no benefit derived from the site and nor would there be the insignificant environmental impacts.

Provided the environmental impact mitigation measures as proposed for in the EMP are

adhered to, the development will have minimal negative to insignificant impacts to the environment.

3.2 Need and Desirability

Kuisebmund is one of the most densely populated residential locations in Walvis Bay possibly

followed by Narravile. However, there is only one filling station servicing Kuisebmund, and is often congested with traffic largely because of its compact location and the huge traffic volume into and out of Kuisebmund. The existing filling station is approximately 1000 m away from the proposed new filling station.

The existing filling station was built many years ago when Kuisebmund had only one single

road for all the inbound and outbound traffic. Currently there are multiple roads leading in and out of several sections of Kuisebmund. Western Avenue to the west of the site is one such road. There is therefore need for a second service station to service the most populous location of Walvis Bay and its increasing traffic volume. New low cost housing developments are planned for Kuisebmund to eliminate the mushrooming of shacks.

Page 21: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 14

The location of this site at the intersection of Sam Nujoma Avenue and Western Avenue and

its access from at least three busy roads, combined with the envisaged shopping mall development are clearly win combination factors for a filling station. The visibility of the site from both Sam Nujoma and Western Avenue and 2nd Avenue road access, lends itself perfectly in terms of visibility for a filling station. In addition, the Sam Nujoma Avenue is the main road used for the inbound and outbound traffic using the B2 Highway and therefore making the site ideal for a filling station since it is located at the entrance to Kuisebmund Township and fishing factories.

The potential trading market for filling station is considered to be good as it will consist of the

following:

traffic of shopping mall patrons

commercial traffic from the factories & light industrial areas

traffic from a low to medium income residential area with moderate growing vehicle ownership

a combination of local taxis and transient traffic

close proximity to a long distance bus terminal

In addition to the above-mentioned, the proposed filling station will be convenient (in terms of refuelling and purchasing items such as bread and milk) to the many factory employees commuting from work after long hours of service.

The development will also be convenient for the residents of Kuisebmund and the surrounding

sections as they would no longer travel past the new mall and filling station into down town to refuel.

Additionally, job opportunities will be created both at the filling station and the shopping mall

which will go a long way in helping economic stability of a few families. 3.3 Feasibility of the Filling Station

The assessment to determine the economic feasibility of the proposed filling station is outside the scope of the EIA study and is not considered here.

4. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORKS

To protect the environment and achieve sustainable development, all projects, programs and

policies deemed to have adverse impacts on the environment are required to have an EIA

conducted according to the Namibian legislation. The following legislations are applicable to

the proposed developed:

TABLE 1: National Legislations

The Environmental Management Act, Act No. 7 of 2007

The Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) is regulated by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) in terms of the Environmental Management Act, (Act No. 7 of 2007). This Act was gazetted in December 2007 (Government Gazette No. 3966) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations: Environmental Management Act, 2007 (Government Gazette No. 4878) were promulgated in February 2012.

The Local Authority Act, (Act No.23 of 1992)

The Act provides for the establishment of local authorities which run formal establishments such as towns, villages and settlements. The Opuwo Town Council was established under the Local Authority Act.

Water Resource Management Act (Act No. 11 of 2013)

The line ministry is the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry. This Act provides for the management, protection, development, use and conservation of water resources; to provide for the regulation and monitoring of water services and to provide for incidental matters.

Road Fund Administration Act

Regulates traffic and use of public roads in Namibia including aspects related to road safety, vehicle licensing, roadworthiness, Mass Distance Charges, abnormal loads, etc.

Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act (Act No. 45 of 1965)

This Act was enacted in 1965 is still being applied in independent Namibia today and resorts under the Ministry of Health and Social Services. The Act attempts to guard against the pollution of the atmosphere. A number of sections of this Act relate to „Air Pollution Control Certification‟, dust control, closure certificate, etc. At present, the Ministry does not grant any certificates as no procedures or guidelines exist. The best practice would be to notify the Ministry of the anticipated emissions.

National Heritage Council Act (Act No. 27 of 2004)

The line ministry is Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture. The National Heritage Council Act provides for the protection and conservation of places and objects of heritage significance and the registration of such places and objects. It also makes provision for archaeological „impact assessments‟. Part V: Permits, paragraphs 51 and 52). If applicable, the relevant permits must be obtained before disturbing or destroying a heritage site as set out in the Act.

Atomic Energy and radiation Protection Act (Act No. 5 of 2005)

The Hazardous Substance Ordinance No. 14 of 1974 was repealed and amended by the Atomic Energy and Radiation Protection Act. The Act provides for the control of substances which may cause injury or ill-health or death of human beings by reason of their toxic, corrosive, irritant, strongly sensitising or flammable nature. Whilst the environmental aspects are not really explicitly stated, the Act provides guidelines with respect to importing, handling and storage, etc. of hazardous substances. The line ministry is the Ministry of Police, Safety and Security (the Drag Law Enforcement Unit).

Regional Council Act (Act No. 23 of 1992)

The Act resorts under the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development and was enacted to promote the planning and coordination of policies at the regional. Under Article 28, the powers, duties, functions, rights and obligations of regional councils include overseeing the general implementation of regional development activities.

The Labour Reform Act (Act No. 11 of 2007)

Overseen by the Ministry of Labour, the Labour Act as amended aims to “promote and

maintain the welfare of the people and ... to further a policy of labour relations

conducive to economic growth, stability and productivity”. It details basic conditions of

employment, and health, safety and welfare requirements of employers.

The Petroleum Products &

The Act makes provision for the procurement, handling and storage of petroleum

Page 23: Filling Service Station - Gov

Energy Act (Act No.13 of 1990)

products.

The line ministry is the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

TABLE 2: National Policies And Related Programme

The Environmental Policy of Namibia

The Environmental Assessment Policy requires that all projects initiated by both the

government and private sector that have a detrimental effect on the environment must

be accompanied by an EIA. It further provides a guideline list of all activities that require

an impact assessment. The proposed activity is listed as an operation requiring an

impact assessment.

Vision 2030 and National Development Plans (NDPs)

Vision 2030 states that: “The nation shall develop its natural capital for the benefit of its

social, economic and ecological well-being by adopting strategies that: promote the

sustainable, equitable and efficient use of natural resources; maximize Namibia‟s

comparative advantages; and reduce all inappropriate use of resources. However,

natural resources alone cannot sustain Namibia‟s long-term development, and the

nation must diversify its economy and livelihood strategies.

The Harambee Prosperity plan (HPP)

The HPP was launched by President Geingob in March 2015 as a targeted Action Plan

to accelerate development in key defined priority areas, which lay the basis for attaining

prosperity for all in Namibia.

The Plan does not replace, but complements the long-term goal of the National

Development Plans [NDPs] and Vision 2030. HPP introduces an element of flexibility in

the Namibian planning system by fast tracking development in areas where progress is

insufficient. It also incorporates new development opportunities and aims to address

challenges that have emerged after the formulation of NDPs.

COVID-19 Guidelines and Regulations

In the wake of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic, the Government of the Republic of

Namibia has put in place measures to contain the spread of the virus. Such measures

have included lockdowns of certain regions/towns, shut down of schools, banning of

religious gathering, limiting numbers of people attending weddings & funerals and or

meetings and restrictions of movements of people. The borders have also remained

closed for tourists.

5. THE RECEIVING ENVIRONMENT 5.1 Introduction With respect to the receiving environment, the impacts which the proposed development is

likely to pose have been evaluated as described in this section. The study information was gathered through a number of sources such as:

visual investigation of the site

discussions with the proponent

taking of photographs

observation of the current environmental status of the immediate surrounds

Only those elements of the environment that have a direct bearing on the impact assessment

process of the proposed development are discussed. The severity of the potential impacts is largely determined by the state of the receiving environment.

5.2 Access to the Site

Access to the site is as described in section 2.2.1 above and is not repeated here.

5.3 Topography

The topography of the site is flat with a slight slope to the east. Walvis Bay is approximately 6

m above sea level. Generally, the topographical characteristic of the site is not expected to have any detrimental effect on its developmental potential. It is however advisable to provide for an appropriate site drainage system to divert surface run-off water.

5.4 Climatic Conditions

Climatic data for the project site were sourced from the „Climate-Data.Org‟. Walvis Bay is

considered to have a desert climate. During the year, there is virtually no rainfall. The average annual temperature is 16.6 οC while the annual rainfall is approximately 11 mm. Most precipitation falls in March with an average of 5 mm.

The temperatures are the highest on average in February, at around 19.2 oC. In September,

the average temperature is 13.7 oC. It is the average lowest temperature of the whole year. The average sunshine per season is 2150 hours. The benefit of sunshine hours is that the use

of alternative energy supply such as solar energy can be applied. With these amounts of sunshine hours, the project could install solar panels and effectively supplement the expensive energy that it sources from Erongo Red thereby reducing its energy bill and passing the benefits on to its customers.

Berg Wind or East Wind – is a strong and gusty windstorm phenomena experienced at the

coastal towns of Namibia when hot, dry squally wind blowing off the interior plateau roughly parallel to the coast. At times visibility could be considerably reduced during East Wind.

Berg winds blow mainly in winter when a strong anticyclone occupies the interior plateau,

producing outflow across the coastal towns of Namibia. They can suddenly set in during the morning bringing a temperature rise of 15-20C, giving maxima of 22 C – 35 C and cause humidity to fall from nearly 100% to 30% or less.

Page 25: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 18

Here, on days when the sea breeze sets in about noon, the temperature drops by 10C -16C

even more suddenly that it had risen at the onset of the East Wind. Episodes East Wind episodes could last two to three days, causing uncomfortable weather conditions for the coastal residents and damage to vehicles, e.g. windscreens sandblasting, etc.

5.5 Geological Aspects

5.5.1 Regional Geology

The basement on which the Erongo Region stands is represented by rocks of the Abbabis Complex and the Nosib and Swakop Group of the Damara Sequence. Formed about 1.2 billion years ago, the Abbabis Complex is the oldest. The Damara Sequence comprises of rocks deposited along an old continental margin and is subdivided into three zones: the Central Zone, Northern Zone and Southern Kaoko Zone. The Nosib Group is subdivided into Etusis and upper Khan Formations.

The Swakop Group in the Central Zone is subdivided into the Rossing, Arandis, Karibib, Chuos and Kuiseb Formations. The Kuiseb Formation is believed to be youngest formed about 130 million years ago.

5.5.2 Site Geology

Unconsolidated sediments of tertiary to recent age can be expected in the Walvis Bay area. The deposits have been formed by a combination of fluvial, estuarine, coastal and Aeolian processes. The bedrock is encountered between 0.5 m to 1 m below the surface. Generally, the site has a clayey soil mixed with dune sand. Groundwater flow would be mostly through primary porosity in the unconsolidated formation. The site has a slight slope to the south and surface water flow will be in that direction.

5.6 Hydrology (Surface and Underground Water)

The only permanent surface water around the site is the Atlantic Ocean which is approximately 1 200 m as the crow flies. Being 4 m above sea level, the natural water table is quite shallow.

5.7 Waste Management

The development of a fuel retail service station will generate waste both liquid and solid which

have to be properly managed in accordance with the provisions of the EMP and the by-laws of the Walvis Bay Municipality. Waste skips for solid wastes generated by the filling station have to be provided and a waste management procedure developed and strictly enforced.

Upon completion of the construction phase, the promoter will be expected to apply for a

Certificate of Fitness from the Walvis Bay Municipality of Walvis Bay in order to operate the fuel retail facility. Amongst items verified by the Municipality representative is the „Waste Management‟ hence it is imperative that a waste management plan is developed and adhered to.

5.8 Dust Impacts

Given the high humidity and fog at the coast, the soil surface is mostly damp hence no dust should be expected during the construction and operation phases of the filling station. To maintain a high standard of cleanliness, it is standard practice for working areas all around the filling stations to be interlocked, neatly paved and landscaped.

Page 26: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 19

5.9 Air Quality

Construction activities are likely to be associated with generation of noxious gases emissions from increased numbers of construction vehicles and equipment (concrete mixers, etc.) used during that time. These have the potential to negatively impact the ambient air quality. The impact is however of a short duration (construction) and not expected during the operational phase of the service station.

5.10 Noise Impacts

The site is located a few meters from the light industrial section of the town of Walvis Bay – an

area where a range of business activities are conducted, generating significant levels of noise especially during the day. The noise level which the filling station will generate, both during the construction and operational phases is little and not expected to impact on the ambient air quality.

. 5.11 Visual Impacts

By their nature, service stations are usually lit at night which could be a nuisance to sensitive

receptors; however, the development is in town where there is street lighting at night. Generally, the visual aspects of the area has also been altered by several man-made structures in the form of advertising billboards, overhead powerlines, telephone lines and MTC towers.

The development is therefore expected to blend in well with the existing structures and

infrastructures in the surrounds without compromising the general visual character of the area.

5.12 Archaeological & Cultural Heritages

Desk studies, physical observations of the project site and its surrounds and discussions held

with neighbouring property owners did not reveal any items of archaeological interest or of cultural heritages. In the unlikely event of such sites (artifacts, stone tools, pottery vessels, metal objects, weapons, human bones etc.) being unearthed during the construction activities, work must be stopped and officials from the National Heritage Council summoned to the site. Work should only proceed once an „all clear‟ has been granted by NHC.

5.13 The Ecosystem

The site is in a buildup area and therefore the ecosystem has been completely altered by past

human activities.

5.14 The Socio-Economic Environment

Unemployment is a serious problem in Namibia particularly amongst the youth. There are

limited economic opportunities in many parts of the country town, with high number of young people migrating from the rural areas to urban centers in search of employment and better living conditions. The proposed development will create employment opportunities during its construction and operational phases.

It is projected that a minimum of 20 people will be employed during the construction phase

which will take about four months (4) months. The number of employment opportunities created during the operational phase of the development is projected to peak at 30 once all related commercial activities have been established and operational.

6. IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

6.1 Introduction

The potential environmental impacts likely to emanate from the proposed filling station are

assessed based on the criteria explained in this section. In line with the Environmental

Management Act, a broader definition of „Environment‟ is adopted, which includes both the

bio-physical and socio-economic components.

The objective of the Environmental Assessment Policy is to seek to achieve a balance

between positive and negative impacts, and between bio-physical impacts and social and

economic gains to the society. To the extent that is practically possible, this report will propose

and suggest measures to mitigate negative impacts associated with the filling station. Where

positive impacts are derived from the development of the filling station, measures are

suggested to enhance such positive impacts to benefit the broader society.

The assessment is made based on the information provided to the EIA Consultant by the

promoter in terms of the scope and scale of filliping station. Should such parameters change

in any material way, i.e. filling station is turned into a truck port, then some of the mitigations

as recommended in this EIA will have to be reconsidered.

6.2 Methodology

The identified impacts are assessed in terms of the standard rating scales to determine their Significance Rating based on this five criteria:

a) Nature of Impacts : refers to the effect that the proposed activity would have on the

receiving environment

b) Extent or Scale of Impact : determines the extent of the impact on a scale of 1 to 5

where 1 = site specific and 5 = international beyond the borders Namibia

c) Duration of Impact : indicates timescale or longevity of the impact

d) Intensity or Magnitude of Impacts: quantifies the impact in terms of the magnitude of

effect on the environment (Receptor) and is derived on consideration of Nature (N),

Extent (E) and Duration (D) of Impact

e) Probability of Impacts : Describes the likelihood of the impact actually occurring on a

scale as shown

Page 28: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 21

TABLE 3: Impact Assessment Methodology

RATING IMPACT DESCRIPTION QUANTITATIVE

RATING

NATURE OR STATUS OF IMPACT

Positive A benefit to the receiving environment (positive impact) +ve (positive)

Neutral No cost or benefit to the receiving environment 0 (Zero)

Negative A cost to the receiving environment (negative impact) -ve (negative)

EXTENT OR SCALE OF IMPACT

Very Low Site Specific : Impacts confined within the project site boundary within a radius of 1 km

1

Low Proximal : Impacts confined within a radius of 3 km of the project site boundary

2

Medium Local : Impacts extend beyond to within a radius of 5 km of the project site boundary

3

High Regional : Impacts extend beyond the project site boundary and have a widespread effect i.e. beyond 5 km

4

Very High International : Impacts extends beyond the project site boundary and have a national and international effect

5

1

Low Short Term : Impacts expected on a duration timescale of 1 to 2 years

2

Medium Medium Term : Impacts expected on a duration timescale of 2 to 5 years

3

High Long Term : Impacts expected on a duration timescale of 5 to 15 years

4

Very High Permanent : Impacts expected on a duration timescale exceeding 15 years

5

INTENSITY OR MAGNITUDE OF IMPACT

Very Low Negligible (Zero) and/or Very Low Impact. The impact does not affect the environment

1

Low Site Specific & Short Term Impacts, i.e. The impacts affect the environment but the natural, cultural and social functions and processes are not affected

2

Medium Local Scale and/or Short Term Impacts, i.e. The environment is altered but natural, cultural and social functions and processes continue, albeit in a modified way

3

High Regional and/or Long Term Impacts, i.e. The natural, cultural or social functions or processes are altered to the extent that it will temporarily cease

4

Very High International and /or Permanent Impact, i.e. The natural, cultural or social functions or processes are alerted to the extent that it will permanently cease

5

PROBABILITY OF IMPACT

Improbable The possibility of the impact to materialize is very low because of either design, historical experience or implementation of adequate corrective actions

2

Probable There is a distinct possibility that the impacts as identified in the Scoping Assessment will actually occur

4

Highly Probable

It is most likely that the impacts as identified will occur regardless of any prevention or corrective action taken

6

Definite The impacts as identified will definitely occur regardless of any prevention or correction action taken

6.3 Significance Rating

After the assessment of an impact in accordance to the preceding five criteria, the significance of an impact is determined through a synthesis of the aspects produced in terms of their:

Nature (N),

Extent (E)

Duration (D)

Intensity (I), and

Probability (P). These ratings are now used to calculate a Significance (S) rating, using the formula shown below: An impact can be given a rating of Low, Medium and High as shown in Table.

Significance Rating (S) = (Sum of Extent + Duration + Intensity) x Probability

TABLE 4: Determination of Impact Significance Rating

Rating Description Significance

Rating

Low Impact Low Significance - This implies that the impact will not have a direct influence on the decision

<25

Medium Impact Medium Significance - This implies that the impact could influence the decision unless effectively mitigated

25-50

High Impact High Significance - This implies that the impact must have an influence on the decision

>50

7. IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

In the section below, all possible impacts associated with the proposed development are discussed in details while possible mitigation measures are described in the EMP section of the EIA document. Positive impacts are discussed first followed by negative impacts.

7.1 POSITIVE IMPACTS

7.1.1 Employment Creation

The filling station will help to combat unemployment as new job opportunities will be created during both phases – construction and operational. It is projected that a minimum of twenty (20) employment opportunities will be created during the construction phase followed by another thirty (30) during the operational phase.

7.1.2 Boost to the Local Economy

It is expected that, in general, people from Erongo Region and from within the town of Walvis Bay will be hired to work at the service station and related business activities. This will contribute to the local economy in that employees will be spending their disposable incomes in the town through payment of services (rates & taxes, water bills and electricity) to the local council coffers and buying groceries from local shops hence boasting the local economy. During the construction phase, it is expected that the successful contractor will procure construction materials (cement, stones, bricks, brick force, steel products, roofing, plumbing, tiling, electrical goods, etc.) required from local building material suppliers.

Page 30: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 23

As noted in the previous section of this report, energy plays a pivotal role in economic growth and development. The development of a filling station will help to improve accessibility of petroleum products to the local residents, hence boasting the local economy.

7.1.3 Imparting of New Skills

New employees will be hired, especially from the youth section of the population. Those employees without previous working experiences have to be couched and given on-the-job training and therefore helping them to acquire useful skills and knowledge to help them throughout their working life.

7.1.4 Contribution to the Local and National Economy

As a local company, KHP is expected to source its petroleum products from fuel suppliers and distributors which pay taxes to the State. In addition, KHP will also be sourcing merchandise for its convenience shop from other traders and as such, liable for tax payments (PAYE, company income tax, VAT, etc.) and other levies (social security commission, workmen‟s compensation, etc.) and therefore contributing to the national coffer and to the national economy.

7.1.5 Training of Employees

It is imperative that all employees who will be hired to work on this development undergo induction training on all aspects related to the environment with emphasis placed on how their activities, the materials or products that they use and handle can harm the environment.

All impacts as identified in the scoping assessment and recommended mitigation measures should be conveyed to the prospective employees during such training session. The provisions of the EMP should be explained to all workers and any sub-contractors (electricians, artisans, plumbers, bricklayers, etc.) who may be hired by the main contractor. Where possible, translation should be provided for the benefit of those employees with limited understanding of the official language.

All employees who have undergone an environmental awareness induction are expected at the end of such training to be able to:

define the terms associated with the environment

understand the potential impacts that the project is likely to cause

outline the processes that affect the environment

recognize what waste does to the environment

demonstrate what can be done to help prevent harmful impacts to the environment The developer has to ensure that training has been offered prior to the workers starting with construction activities. A copy of the EMP should be provided to the Site Agent/Site Manager and that the content is well understood and conveyed to all employees.

Page 31: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 24

The same training as described above should be offered to all those employees who will be hired and recruited by the promoter for the Operational Phase of the facility.

The nature of the impact is POSITIVE and significance rating is VERY HIGH.

Mitigation

employment should be provided to deserving employees without discrimination on the

basis of race, origin, gender or political affiliation

people from marginalised communities such as the Sun people and bushmen should be

considered for employment

disabled people should also be considered for suitable vacancies

7.1.6 Socio and Economic Impacts

Unemployment is a serious problem in Namibia particularly among the youths especially in the rural areas where economic activities are rather limited. The proposed development will create employment opportunities during its construction phase and the operational phase. It has been projected that a minimum of 30 people will be employed during the operational phase while the construction period is expected to provide employment opportunities to anything between 20 and 30 people.

The disadvantage which comes with this type of development is that, once the construction activities are observed on site, quite a large number of jobseekers will flock to the site in search of employment. This has an added disadvantage in that too many unemployed people will hang around the premises in the hope of finding a job.

The peripheries of filling stations have also become attractive hotspots for informal traders such as street hawks and vendors. These informal traders are targeting the travelling public who are often dropped off or catching taxis/buses at services stations, to sell their products to. The drawback here is that criminals are also attracted to such hotspots. It is therefore important that the safety of patrons using the filling station is assured and safeguarded.

7.2 NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 7.2.1 Traffic Congestion

The proposed fuel service station is sandwiched between Sam Nujoma Avenue to the south

and New Western Avenue to the west and 2nd Avenue to the north and east. Sam Nujoma and

New Western Avenue are relatively especially during the peak morning hours and knock-off

hours in the afternoon. 2nd Avenue is not a busy road. The filling station is therefore expected

to contribute to traffic congestion on this part of the township. However, this can be minimised

by providing multiple accesses to the filling station, i.e. one access via Sam Nujoma and

another access via New Western Avenue.

.

Mitigation:

Provide multiple accesses to the filling station, one access via Sam Nujoma Avenue and another access via New Western Avenue

establish and clearly mark entry and exit points to the filling station

provide adequate parking space within the service station yard

Page 32: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 25

7.2.2 Stormwater Control and Site Drainage

The town of Walvis Bay does not have any stormwater systems or standards largely because the average annual rainfall is approximately 15 mm. However, more rainfall has been received in Walvis Bay over the last few years often resulting in flooding of street roads. Surface water from the paved areas is likely to contain amounts of oils and greases, the design should therefore ensure that used water from sections of the filling station where spills are anticipated, should passes through properly constructed oil interceptors. This will reduce surface runoff from impacting on natural the environment around the service station. Lack of a proper site surface drainage will result in water clogging up and accumulating on the service station making movements of traffic and people cumbersome. The potential impact associated with surface runoff can be effectively mitigated.

Mitigation:

ensure that an engineering solution is designed and constructed to handle and divert

stormwater effluent around the filling station service excessive water

provide adequate oil interceptors should be provided

7.2.3 Waste Generation and Management Various types of waste are expected to be generated during the Construction and Operational phases. Waste management has to include the management of both solid and liquid wastes. Suitable waste skips have to be provided in which different types of waste is stored.

Litter blown from the project site may accumulate in the surrounding areas resulting in visual nuisance. Sources of waste, anticipated volumes and recommended disposal/mitigation measures are as given in the table below.

Ensure adequate training is provided to employees

Page 34: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 27

7.2.5 Noise Impacts

Noise is unwanted/undesirable sound that can affect job performance, safety and health of humans. Psychological effects of noise include annoyance and disruption of concentration. Physical effects include loss of hearing, pain, nausea and interference with communications when the exposure is severe. The construction activities will involve the use of machinery and other miscellaneous sources of noise for construction site (concrete mixers, trucks delivering construction materials such as bricks, sand, aggregate, etc.). This is not likely to cause any significant degradation of the local environment because it will be limited to the construction site. In addition, the noise levels produced are unlikely to exceed the background levels in the adjacent industrial area of Walvis Bay. The impact will be for a short period, i.e. construction phase only.

Mitigation

limit construction hours to daylight only

avoid unnecessary long idle, hooting & revving of construction vehicles

construction vehicles should be well maintained to avoid excessive noise levels

7.2.6 Impacts on the Ecosystem

The proposed development is in a buildup area and as such the biodiversity has been degraded by human activities. The nature of the impact is therefore NEUTRAL and the

significance rating is LOW to INSIGNIFICANT. Mitigation

give due regard to the protection of the ecosystem

comply with the EMP

7.2.7 Visual Impacts

The prominent man-made features observed around the project site are communication towers for MTC, Telecom, advertisement boards (billboards) and electrical powerlines. During the construction phase for this specific project, visual intrusion will take the form of overhead cranes, scaffolding and the general traffic at the construction site. After the construction phase, a tall canopied forecourt structure will remain as a permanent feature intruding on the open view of the horizon. If littering and illegal dumping on the site are not controlled, this could increase the visual impact of the proposed development.

Mitigation

train employees on good housekeeping

protect amenity values

7.2.8 Archaeological and Cultural Heritage

Desk studies and site observation did not reveal any items of known archaeological or areas of heritage and cultural interests on the project site itself or in the vicinity of the development. In the unlikely event of any such items being unearthed during the construction phase, work

Page 35: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 28

must be stopped and officials from the National Heritage Council and the Namibia Police summoned to the site. Work should only proceed once an all „Ok‟ has been granted by NHC.

Mitigation

give due respect to issues of cultural heritage

comply with the EMP

7.2.9 Fire Risk and Control

Petroleum products present significant risk to the environment due to their inflammable nature. This implies that the proponent must put adequate measures in place to prevent and control possible fire explosions. The nature of impact is NEGATIVE and the significance rating is MEDIUM with mitigation.

Mitigation

ensure the facility is kept clean and free from fire hazards and litters

naked fire should be avoided – place notice signs prohibiting smoking within the fuel retail service station boundaries

all electrical installation on the premises should be carried out by qualified and certificated artisans

install fire control appliances (portable fire extinguisher, both CO2, dry powder and water types and sand buckets)

ensure employees are adequately trained in the use of firefighting devices and conduct regular fire drills at least once a year

ensure all equipment and tools are regularly serviced and well maintained

implement leakage detection mechanism

gas cylinders (if the fuel service will sell LPG) should be kept outside in an open air (not inside a building) and regular leakages checks should be conducted

observe safety measures (no use of cellphone, avoid smoking, etc. when on the fuel service station)

7.2.10 Health and Safety

Safety is of paramount importance in the execution of any project activity. During the Construction and Operational Phases, access to the project site has to be secured and restricted so as to ensure that the health & safety of employees, members of the general public who may visit the premises are protected and safeguarded.

This would include risks associated with operating construction machinery on site, excavating trenches and the installation and/or connection of services (water, sewer & electricity). Neglect to apply applicable industry safety standards could lead to incidents and accidents which are undesirable and often associated with costly consequences.

Page 36: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 29

During the Operational Phase, exhaust emissions from fuel combustion is another safety hazard. Depending on the efficiency of the refinery process, combustion of petrol produces mainly CO2 (±13%), water (±13%) and Nitrogen (±73%). A very small portion of N is converted to Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and some to Nitrate Hydrocarbons. Incomplete combustion leads to the production of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) fuel, Nitrogen Oxides and Lead in thousands of compounds both in gas and particulate phases. VOCs are hazardous to human health, for instances, long exposure to Benzene could lead to cancer (EHC, 2003). NOx causes irritation of respiratory track and may exacerbate asthma and may damage blood vessels. Extended exposure to Lead (Pb), could lead to several physiological disorders in man with the most sensitive parts being kidney, blood and the nervous system. The emissions may also contaminate the environment including soil and water. Mitigation CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Enforce strict safety precautions during the construction. These should include provision of PPEs (overalls, helmets, dust masks, welding shielding/goggles, earmuffs, safety boots, etc.)

Ensure supervision of works is carried out by competent staff that sees to it that correct materials are procured and used, that proper mixing of elements is adhered to and that a high standard of workmanship is maintained throughout the construction.

Construction site should be sealed off from non-construction workers and the general public.

Provide for first aid facilities and emergence response plan

Provide toilet facilities and suitable change rooms for workers

OPERATIONAL PHASE

Ensure that employees undergo regular medical check-ups (at least twice a year)

Vehicles should be switched off to minimise emissions

Ensure proper aeration within the premises

PPEs should be provided to employees and wearing thereof enforced

Install first aid facilities

Develop a fire emergence response plan

Develop an accident response plan

Provide washroom facilities for the workers

7.2.11 Covid-19 Control and Prevention

This EIA is conducted during the time when the whole world is battling to contain the spread of the deadly SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Depending on the type of work being performed and exposure risk, it is incumbent upon the employers to provide a safe and corona-free working environment and for the employees to comply with the control and prevention measures AS provided by the Ministry of Health & Social Services.

Page 37: Filling Service Station - Gov

EIA for a New Filling Station for Kalahari Holdings – WVB Page 30

Mitigation The Covid-19 general guidelines recommended to be applied by the employers, employees and patrons during the two phases of the filling station are:

Wash your hands frequently with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds

Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands

Practice social distancing by staying a distance of at least 2 meters from the next person when queuing at the filling station or any other place

Avoid close contact with people who are sick with Covid-19

Wear face mask which covers the mouth and nose

Comply with laws and regulations as announced by the authority from time to time

Observe and comply with symbols in the figure below:

8. EVALUATIONS & CONCLUSION 8.1 Environmental Economic Criteria

A final qualitative assessment is considered in terms of the criteria used in the field of Environmental Economics. These criteria are explained by Stauth (1983), namely:

Efficiency Criterion,

Equity Criterion, and

Intergenerational Equity Criterion.

8.2 Efficiency Criterion A project is considered to be efficient if it brings about a net benefit to society. If some people are made better off without anyone else being made worse off, then a project is considered efficient in environmental economics terms. This project will bring significant economic benefits to the residents of the town of Walvis Bay – a town faced with an influx of people emigrating from the rural area to urban area in search of employment opportunities and better living conditions. The project will create employment opportunities during its Construction and Operational Phase and will further support secondary industries and commercial opportunities in the town through the procurement of goods and services.

8.3 Equity Criterion The equity criterion relates to the distribution of costs and benefits in the affected society. A project is equitable if it brings about a situation in which the distribution of social well-being is improved. The envisaged operation will benefit the local people without disadvantaging them in any way. They will not suffer any displacement or loss of land or be subjected to adverse health conditions. Direct benefits will include remuneration to employees, while indirect benefits would include increased work opportunities in the supporting industries, i.e. transport companies, suppliers of building materials, etc.

8.4 The Intergenerational Equity (or Sustainability) Criterion This criterion considers the economic impacts on future generations, i.e. it extends the considerations of equity to future generations. Thus a project should be able to make the present generation better off without making future generations worse off. It should be able to provide benefits to future generations without degrading the resource base that the society depends on for its wellbeing. The development proposed by KHP does not pose any significant threats to human health.

8.5 Conclusion Overall the economic benefits that accrue from the proposed developed will by far outweigh the limited negative impacts on the biological, natural and socio-economic environments. The filling station is expected to perform positively in relation to the efficiency, equity and sustainability criteria. It is recommended that an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) be granted to Kalahari Holdings PTY Ltd for its proposed development in the town of Walvis Bay.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS

1. INTRODUCTION

Public Participation Process (PPP) is an integral part of the EIA process as outlined in Section of 27(1) (h) of the Environmental Management Act and Section 32 of Environmental Assessment Regulations. One of the objectives of the Scoping Assessment for this development was to identify key stakeholders so as to involve them in the EIA process.

Generally, the PPP is a platform which affords an opportunity to stakeholders, who are classified either as Interested and Affected Parties (IAPs) to the proposed development. During the PPP, such stakeholders are given an opportunity to express their views, comments and/or to voice any concerns which they might have with regard to the proposed development. In broader terms, the objectives of the PPP are the following:

to increase awareness and public confidence and in so doing to maximize benefits and minimize risks

to ensure transparence and accountability in decision-making and therefore less conflict, since decisions are deemed to have been made through consensus

to secure approval from stakeholders which gives some form of assurance and a sense of partnership with the proposed development and prevents unnecessary disputes and costs associated with litigations

2. PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT

The project was announced in the local newspapers on the dates as shown in the table below.

The EIA Notices describing the proposed project, its location, the proponent and the EIA

Consultant were also affixed on the premises of the site earmarked for the development. Due

to the Covid-19 outbreak, no public information sharing meeting was held, however, IAPs

were invited to submit their comments and or concerns via emails so as to limit the spread of

the Coronavirus. The adverts are attached to the end of this section.
