ProposalDescription: 

Eskom SOC Ltd, Free State Operating Unit - Distribution, (hereafter Eskom) intends to amend the Environmental Authorisation for the Construction of the 132kV overhead powerline from the Melkspruit Substation to the Rouxville Substation in the Walter Sisulu and Mohokare Local Municipalities with the Eastern Cape and Free State Provinces

Expanded_Motivation: 

Eskom SOC Ltd, Free State Operating Unit - Distribution, (hereafter Eskom) intends to amend the'Environmental Authorisation for the Construction of the 132kV overhead powerline from the Melkspruit Substation to the Rouxville Substation in the Walter Sisulu and Mohokare Local Municipalities with the Eastern Cape and Free State Provinces. In line with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations 2014 (as amended), National Environmental Act (Act No. 107 of 1998)' The amendment is required as the authorised power line route is deviating from its initial alignment around a property for about 6 kilometres as land rights cannot be obtained for a portion of land in the approved development corridor. Eskom appointed GA Environment (Pty) Ltd as Independent Environmental Consultants to conduct a Part two amendment of the Environmental Authorisation (EA), in terms of Regulation 31 of the EIA Regulations of 2014, as amended. The impacts associated with the 6-kilometre deviation were assessed by means of: • Floral Assessment (Field and Form); • Wetland/Riparian Delineation and Functional Assessment (Limosella); • Avifauna Assessment (Albert Froneman Consulting); • Palaeontological Assessment (Banzai Environmental); and • Phase1 Heritage Assessment (PGS Heritage)
