The proposed development will have a development footprint of one point three five hectares (1.35 ha) situated on a parcel of land with a combined footprint of approximately twenty one and a quarter hectare (21.25 ha). Therefore the proposed feedlot will have a coverage of approximately 13 500m2. The already existing feedlot will receive an additional 1000 heads of cattle to the 800 that are already present. This project will entail the clearing of vegetation where after construction of the feedlot will commence. The feedlot will be constructed in a North Western / South Eastern direction, adjacent to an already existing feedlot. Additional to the above, more cattle will be inserted into the already existing feedlot which leads to the expansion of the currently existing feedlot. The proposed project entails the development of the following infrastructure and activities: Development of feedlot pens: The proposed feedlot will accommodate 2000 cattle. The development footprint of the proposed project are +- 13 500m2. 1000 additional heads of cattle will be inserted into the already existing feedlot. A road of approximately 200 metres in length and wider than four (4) metres are proposed. The construction of a manure dam (5000m3) are proposed. The expected water use after completion of the proposed project are 3800 (cattle) × 50 (litres) = 190 000 litres per day = approximately 5 7000 000 litres per month. The effluent that will be created will lead to a total of 3m3 per year and 3-4 Kilograms of manure per day, per head of cattle.
