ProposalDescription: 

ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (AIA) OF A DEMARCATED SURFACE PORTION ON THE FARM VLAKPAN 59 FOR THE PROPOSED VLAKPAN PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT, SIYANCUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, PIXLEY KA SEME DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE

Expanded_Motivation: 

A Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant, known as the Vlakpan Solar Park Solar Park is proposed on the farm Vlakpan (982.7512 ha in extent). At the site, two initial footprint areas (Alternative 1 & 2) were identified and at least 6 areas of archaeological or heritage potential were located during AIA surveys of the two areas. A third footprint alternative (Alternative 3) covering up to 210ha of less sensitive areas in Alternative 1 & 2 was then proposed which incorporated initial recommendations pertaining to these sensitive heritage receptors and this alternative has been designed to avoid impact on heritage receptors. The solar facility will have a maximum generating capacity up to 75 MW.
