ProposalDescription: 

This Construction and Operational Environmental Management Plan (CEMP and OEMP) has been compiled for the 5MW Hopefield Small Wind Farm Project to be constructed and operated by Hopefield Small Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd. The project involves the construction and operation of a wind energy facility as well as its associated infrastructure. This project received Environmental Authorisation on 11 June 2014 (refer to Appendix A). Following a competitive bidding process under the Department of Energy’s (DoE’s) Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPP) for small projects, 5MW Hopefield Small Wind Farm was awarded Preferred Bidder status in bid window one (round one for small projects). Construction is due to commence after financial close is achieved, which is targeted to take place in Q4 of 2016. This Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) is an update of the draft EMPr submitted with the Basic Assessment (BA) for the project and responds to condition 14 (refer to Table 1.1 below) of the Environmental Authorisation of 11 June 2016 (DEA Ref No.:14/12/16/3/3/1/1099) as well as recommendations of the specialist walk-through surveys. Changes made have been underlined for ease of reference. The EMPr has been developed on the basis of the findings of the BA and subsequent walkthrough assessments conducted of the Optimised Layout as per conditions 35 and 107 of the EA (DEA ref No.: 14/12/16/3/3/1/1099), and must be implemented to protect sensitive on-site and off-site features through controlling construction, operation and decommissioning activities that could have a detrimental effect on the environment, and through avoiding or minimising potential impacts. This EMPr is applicable to all by Hopefield Small Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd employees and contractors (including subcontractors) working on the pre-construction, construction, and operation and maintenance phases, as well as decommissioning (if and when applicable), of the Hopefield Small Wind Farm. The document will be adhered to, updated as relevant throughout the project life cycle as it is seen as a living document that could respond to real-time changes. This document fulfils the requirement of the Department and is an update of the draft EMPr submitted with the BAR.
