ProposalDescription: 

The City of Ekurhuleni has been granted environmental authorisation by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) to develop the proposed Delmore Park Extension 8 housing development in Boksburg (Reference number GAUT 002/18-19/E2183). The proposed development requires bulk services, including water and sewer lines.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The study area is divided into two separate pipelines (Bulkwater and sewerage outfall) traversing through various township and informal settlement areas. The bulk water route is the most northerly pipeline located mostly within an existing township. This area is highly degraded, and no heritage resources was located along this line. The southern section (bulk sewer pipeline) is designated as the Delmore Park Main Branch and replacement of a section of the Lilianton Main Outfall Sewer. This line is located along a small section of open field next to a historical mine dump and further along an existing township development still under construction. The line follows the outer wall of the development area and end near the southern edge of the study area near a small stream that seems to be highly disturbed and polluted. The section of the Bulk Water Sewer Pipeline upgrade traversing through the open field yielded remains of older infrastructure possibly relating to the extensive mining developments in the surrounding area. Two features were recorded here as Feature 1 and Feature 2. Feature 1 is partially demolished rectangular structure built from red bricks and cement and seems to have been part of older mining infrastructure. Various other broken-down structures and dumped material litters the area, that is highly overgrown. The structure could be part of the mining history of the area and older than 60 years. Feature 2 marks a small stone cairn right next to an informal road towards the mine dump. Due to the high level of disturbance within the area it is unlikely that this cairn marks an unmarked grave and is therefore of low heritage significance. Both these features are located well away from the pipeline (Feature 1 - approximately 76 m south of the line, Feature 2 - approximately 23 meters north from the line) and no direct impact is expected on these features
