Subject: RE: Upgrade of road

Good day Ms Theron,

Apologies for the long delay in returning this email, these details were only became available

recently. Please note, the answers to your questions are highly dependent on a variety of

project considerations, not least of which is the environmental authorisation, financing and

contractor agreements, so there will in all likelihood be changes in this regard between now

and then still.

The anticipated construction commencement currently is expected around March 2017.



36

Construction is expected to take 30 months, and there will be three stop and go’s operating

simultaneously (as anticipated currently).

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Thank you and have a good day further,

Hi Gideon

In reference to:

BASIC ASSESSMENT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF NATIONAL ROUTE 2, SECTION 3 FROM KM 0 AT CALEDON TO KM 48.6 AT RIVIERSONDEREND


http://www.capenature.co.za/





52

Is there any update as to where you are with the Basic Assessment Process currently?

As mentioned before, we have a golf estate approval to develop this land and the land that

you have identified could have a significant impact on our development with the possible loss

of development opportunities. We will also have to appoint our Town Planners and

Environmental Consultant (incur additional costs) if the approved SDP (in accordance to the

EIA ROD) has to change due to this process.

I just want to inform you that we do own the land across the N2 (erf 4032, as well the portion

of the remainder of Erf 2862). This land is not earmarked for development and it is therefore

preferable that the alignment of the N2 could be done in such a manner so that this land

(northern side of N2 – erf 4032 and the portion of the remainder of erf 2862) could be used

instead of our golf estate land (erf 4031) and the portion of of the remainder of erf 2862 on

the southern side of the N2.

Please find attached the plans applicable to this.

Thanks

AIM OF THIS DOCUMENT

The purpose of this document is to ensure that people interested in or affected by the proposed

project are provided with information about the proposal, the process being followed and

provided with an opportunity to be involved in the environmental assessment process.

Registering as an Interested and/or Affected Party (I&AP) allows individuals or groups the

opportunity to contribute ideas, issues, and concerns regarding the project. I&APs also have an

opportunity to review all reports and submit comments on those reports. All comments received

are included in the reports submitted to the Competent Authority.

THE PROPONENT

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited ('SANRAL') is a South African parastatal,

which operates in terms of its founding legislation, The South African National Roads Agency

Limited and National Roads Act (Act No. 7,1998). As such, SANRAL is mandated for the

financing, management, maintenance and development of South Africa's national road network.

The South African government, represented by the Minister of Transport, is the sole shareholder

and owner of SANRAL. In order to maintain and upgrade the abovementioned N2 section,

SANRAL have appointed JG Afrika Pty Ltd (Formerly known as 'Jeffares and Green Engineering

and Environmental Consulting') to produce the upgrade designs, and manage the project through to

the operation phase. JG Afrika subsequently appointed EOH Coastal and Environmental Services

Pty Ltd (‘EOH CES’) as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner to apply for Environmental

Authorisation.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PRACTITIONER

EOH COASTAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES (EOH CES) is specialised in

environmental and social impact assessments and environmental management has been appointed

by SANRAL SOC Ltd to conduct the required Basic Assessment for the proposed project. EOH

CES was established in 1990 when we were involved as lead consultants for a large mineral mining

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in South Africa, and since completing that first EIA, we

have expanded our scope of work to provide a wide variety of environmental advisory services to

public and private-sector clients both within South Africa and internationally.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) proposes the upgrade of National Road 2

(N2), Section 3 (Figure 2.1), which is 48.22 km long and located between Caledon and the

Riviersonderend municipal boundary, within the Theewaterskloof Local Municipality of the

Western Cape.

The N2 road was originally constructed around 1980 and received subsequent seal overlays, the

latest being a 19 / 6.7 mm double seal in 2007. The first 20 kilometres of the project has suffered

recurring failures, which have been routinely treated by means of glass grids treatments (fiber glass

squares used as under layer, allowing for horizontal but not vertical cracking), in situ stabilisation as

well as crack seal and deepening of side drains. The existing pavement has a variable prism,

however, on average, the road consists of the following road prisms:

Standard two-way two-lanes, consisting of 3.7m lanes and 2.4m shoulders.

Standard two-way two-lane lanes with climbing lanes – 3.7m passing lanes, 3.4m climbing

lanes and 1.5m shoulders.


65

Sub-standard cross-sections- 2 x 3.7m lanes, 1x3.7m climbing lane and 0.7m shoulders with

climbing lanes passing over the crown.

The main items of the work to be undertaken in terms of construction are the road widening’s,

culvert lengthening and bridge widening’s. The construction will necessitate the establishment of a

Contractor’s and Engineers campsite, in the form of a construction camp. Only the sections between

km 0 and km 1.1 and km 2.1 and km 3.1 (adjacent to Caledon) will not be widened, with the

remainder of the road between the two towns requiring widening on the southern side of the road,

by one lane width.

1.1.2 Roadwork’s

The general roadworks include the following:

The accommodation of two-way traffic.

The crushing, screening and stockpiling of material from cuttings at road widening’s.

The clearing of vegetation (approximately 65.11 x 103 m2 in area)

The construction of fills and cuts.

The construction of granular pavement layers from material obtained from commercial

sources.

The construction of gravel wearing-course.

Resealing the existing surface.

The painting of road markings.

Installation of route marker boards and road signs to indicate climbing lanes.

Implementation of rumbles strips to enhance the safety of intersections.

Erection of guardrails at bridge approaches and high fills and possibly at new passing lanes.

Application of seal overlays at rest areas.

Replacement of road studs on new surfacing.

Finishing off of the road reserve.

1.1.3 Drainage and culverts

The drainage and culvert works include:

The removal and replacement of earth side drains where affected by road widening’s.

Cleaning sub-surface drains and culverts.

The extension of culverts affected by road widening’s (various major and minor culverts)

Removal and replacement of concrete drains affected by the road widening’s.

The widening of three bridges.

RELEVANT LEGISLATION

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations, made in terms of Section 24 of

Chapter 5 of the National Environmental Management Act (Act No 107 of 1998), and the

related Lists of Activities (Government Notices (GN) R.982, issued on the 4th December

2014) specify the activities that require either a Basic Assessment, or a full Scoping and EIA

respectively.

The major aspects of this project include the following:

1. Addition of new climbing lanes;

2. Lengthening of existing climbing lanes;

3. Widening of the existing road with 3.7m wide climbing lanes, 3.5m through lanes, 1.5m

wide surfaced shoulders and 0.5m wide gravel shoulder rounding;

4. Upgrading of existing intersections /accesses,

5. Upgrading of road signs at adjoining roads at intersections.

6. Extension of culverts, where relevant;

7. Removal and replacement of concrete drains, where relevant;

8. Removal and replacement of earth drains, where relevant;

9. Investigations of fill material sources; and

10. Widening of the road on the southward side by one lane width.

As such, the proposed project is subject to a Basic Assessment Report in terms of the

following activities, which are likely to be triggered:

*Please note: Only summary descriptions are included here for the sake of brevity. Please

consult the Government Notices (GN) R.982, 983 and 984, of the EIA Regulations (4th

December 2014) for a complete listing and description of each activity mentioned here.

APPROACH TO THIS BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT

The BA for the proposed project is presently in the planning phase. This phase serves

primarily to inform the public and relevant authorities about the proposed project and to

determine any impacts. These impacts will then be extensively addressed during the

environmental impact assessment studies. Only after the full Basic Assessment Report has

been submitted will the relevant authorities make a decision.

A Draft Basic Assessment Report (dBAR) will be compiled which will comprehensively

describe the activities and impacts that the project may have on the receiving environment,

including specialist reports and details from the PPP process. The dBAR and Environmental

Management Programme (EMPr) will be submitted for a 30 day public comment period.

Subsequent to the review and commenting period, a Final BAR will be compiled for

submission to Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA). This will include all public

comments and response to issues raised by I&APs.

Should the authorities grant approval via an environmental authorisation, all registered

I&APs will be notified accordingly and given the opportunity to appeal against the decision,

should they so wish.
