ProposalDescription: 

This project as a whole (Phase 1, 2 and 3) was authorised by the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs (DAEA) in August 2012. While Phase 3 of the NAA was approved in principle as part of an initial EIA application, amendments to this portion of the pipeline are required. A significant portion of the preliminary pipeline route for Phase 3 of the NAA was proposed within Provincial, District or Local road servitudes or reserves. However, more recent discussions with the Department of Transport (DoT) indicate that future road expansion plans may be impacted by the proposed horizontal pipeline alignment, and the pipeline needs to be realigned to run outside of the road reserve in order to avoid the future road plans proposed by DoT. This readjustment necessitated a deviation in the pipeline across a new watercourse. The changes requiring approval in this Basic Assessment include: • Change in location of the 20ML Ntanda Reservoir which will be a reinforced concrete reservoir with a full supply level of 410 metres above sea level (masl) or lower; • The construction of a booster pump station to pump water to a proposed 1ML break pressure tank/reservoir; • The construction of a DN 350 steel pipeline which will link to the booster pump station and run across the valley to connect back into the already approved pipeline to the 1ML break pressure tank/reservoir.

Expanded_Motivation: 

A Heritage Impact Assessment was undertaken for the entire pipeline in June 2011. No red flag heritage sites were identified along the route, however it was identified that permits would be required for the partial destruction of three sites along the route. The updated information, including a layout of the new reservoir location and pipeline deviation was uploaded onto the Sahris Online Applications Website for comment from Amafa. Amafa confirmed that they have no objection to the proposed deviation but requires new permit application relating to the identified resources as they have expired. New permit applications have been submitted to Amafa.
