ProposalDescription: 

Farm Excelsior 358 RE, F04200000000035800000, The Mantsopa Local Municipality requires building material to be used in construction projects for the upgrading of various infrastructure in the surrounding area. Therefore, a borrow pit/ gravel quarry is proposed in order to source the above mentioned construction material.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed site is linear in nature due to the volcanic mechanisms that were present during the intrusion of the dolerite pipe. This means that the 5ha borrow pit area will not be a uniform block but more an elongated rectangle as the dolerite pipe is excavated. The site is easily accessible from the R 703 which is the main road in and out of Excelsior. Once on the R 703, turn onto the R 709 and keeping going for 1 km, where the site will be on the left. Please refer to Appendix 4 which contains the site locality map. The purpose of registering a borrow pit will be for the supply of construction materials for the surrounding area. Only mobile and temporary structures will be used during the operational period of the borrow pit which includes the office site and space for vehicle parking of ± 0, 5 ha. A 940 m fence will be erected around the borrow pit totalling a surface area of approximately 4, 4 ha. The site will impact an area of approximately 4, 5 ha. Due to the nature of the material (weathered dolerite) only Excavators and TLBs will be used in the extraction process. Mining of dolerite will be executed as a shallow surface mining operation which makes “cuts” or a minable faces to mine before moving on to the next cut. No blasting will be required.
