KENNISGEWING VAN ’N OMGEWINGSIMPAKEVALUERINGSPROSES

OPENBARE DEELNAMEPROSES

METAALNYWERHEIDSKORF EN GEPAARDGAANDE INFRASTRUKTUUR

NABY KURUMAN, NOORD-KAAPPROVINSIE

Projeknaam:

» Metaalnywerheidskorf naby Kuruman

Applikant:

» Noord-Kaapse Departement van Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling en Toerisme

Ligging: Die korf word beplan op Erf 6253 (Gedeelte van Erf 1), ~2 km suidoos van die dorp

Kuruman. Die beoogde terrein is in die Ga-Segonyana Plaaslike Munisipaliteit en die John

Taolo Gaetsewe Distriksmunisipaliteit en omstreke geleë.

Beoogde Aktiwiteit: Die oprigting van ’n Metaalnywerheidskorf. Staalvervaardiging sal die

hooffokus wees, terwyl dit voorsiening sal maak dat ander metaalverwante nywerhede in die

korf kan wees. Die korf sal fokus op die vervaardigingskomponent van die

mineraalveredelingswaardeketting. Die beoogde korf sal begin as ’n ontwikkelingsinisiatief,

sterk gedrewe deur ’n korfbestuursmaatskappy (KBM). Die beoogde ontwikkeling sal oor 20

jaar strek en in 4 fases oorgaan.

Aansoek om Omgewingsmagtiging: Ingevolge Artikel 24 en 24D van die Nasionale Wet op

Omgewingsbestuur (Wet 107 van 1998), saamgelees met Staatskennisgewing R982 tot R985,

moet ’n Bestekopname en ’n OIE vir die beoogde projek onderneem word. Die bevoegde

owerheid vir die projek is die Noord-Kaapse Departement van Omgewingsake en

Natuurbewaring.

Openbare Deelnameproses: Savannah Environmental onderneem die nodige

omgewingsevaluering en openbare deelnameproses. Ten einde meer inligting te bekom en
