ProposalDescription: 

RER Investments Pty Ltd requires services of a team of professionals to develop a fuelling station and storage on Proposed portion 1 of portion 115 of the farm Malelane 389 JU, ERF 192 and Portion 138 of the farm Malelane No. 389 JU within Nkomazi Local municipality and Ehlanzeni District Municipality in Mpumalanga Province. The proposed project entails the construction / development of a fuelling station, weigh bridge, parking, office, workshop and storage. The Fuel Storage Tanks will be above and below the ground. The proposed fueling station intend to install: • Storage of 1 000 000L in total • 200 000L Underground for the Unleaded Petrol (ULP) • 800 000L above ground for diesel. A borehole monitoring system will be implemented for the underground fuel storage. The applicant provides road transportation of bulk fuel products and operates its own fleet of tankers. Thus, the main purpose of the project is to construct fuel tanks for the storage of fuel. The stored fuel will mainly be used by the applicant to fill the tanks of its own fuel transportation trucks. Due to the existing land use, the site is in degraded condition and the natural vegetation composition has been transformed to a large degree. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be conducted in terms of the 2014 regulations EIA Regulations as amended in 2017 which fall under the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) to obtain Environmental Authorisation (EA)

Expanded_Motivation: 

Preferred alternatives The preferred site is ideally located for the proposed Fuelling station and storage as easy access can be obtained from the Lion street. The proposed development site is surrounded by housing, municipal offices, agriculture and light industrial land uses. The applicant owns two properties (ERF 192 and portion 138 of the farm Malelane 389 JU) and in the process of finalising to obtain legal ownership of the other portion (Proposed portion 1 of portion 115 of the farm Malelane 389 JU). Alternative 2 - Locality As an alternative, the construction of a fuelling station and storage at another site, in an industrial part of Malelane can be considered. However, this option is not viable, as the applicant technically owns the preferred site. No other alternatives will be discussed or considered for this EIA process or in this Scoping Report due to the above mentioned reasons. No-go Alternative Not constructing a fuelling station and storage. The applicant will then have to buy diesel from other companies (at a higher price) and this will have cost implications.
