The assessment area consists of a single footprint area of approximately 535 ha in size. The area is partly situated on Portion 1 of the Farm Bultfontein no 327 (SG 21 Digit Code: C03100000000032700001) and Portion 2 of the Farm Folmink no 331 (SG 21 Digit Code: C03100000000033100002) respectively.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed project area is approximately 217 ha in surface size and is situated on Portion 1 Farm Bultfontein 327 (SG 21 Digit Code: C03100000000032700001) and Portion 2 of the Farm Folmink 331 (SG 21 Digit Code: C03100000000033100002) extending approximately 1850 ha. The proposed pump station is situated on Portion 1 of the Farm Bultfontein no 327 (SG 21 Digit Code: C03100000000032700001) whilst the proposed water pipeline route traverses the same farm portion. The farm is located approximately 40 km north-west of the town of Prieska towards Marydale. The property is in the name of Great Force Investments (Pty) Ltd, with Mr. Hennie de Bod (the applicant) as the sole director. No consent is thus required. The property falls inside Siyathemba Local Municipality which, in turn, forms part of the greater Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality. Access to the proposed project area is obtained by way of the R 383 provincial road as the farm is situated directly to the East of the R 383 provincial road. The company Great Force Investments (Pty) Ltd. is proposing to commence with the process of procuring the Farm Bultfontein No. 327 as well as Portion 2 of the Farm Folmink 331 near the town of Prieska in the Northern Cape Province (217 ha). The reason for the intended procurement is for establishing grazing pastures on the farm of natural previously uncultivated land. This also includes a pipeline and pump station in order to obtain water from the Orange river for irrigation purposes. Layout Alternative 1 (Preferred Alternative) The preferred layout alternative includes three separate areas. Areas 1, 2 and 3 are 11,2; 199 and 7,34 ha in size respectively. The total area development area of this alternative equates to 217 ha. Smaller, temporary camps will then be laid out within the larger areas and grazed by means of a rotational system. These camps will then be irrigated by using pivot irrigation. Layout Alternative 2 The preferred layout alternative includes two separate areas. Areas 2 and 3 are 199 and 7,34 ha in size respectively. The total area development area of this alternative equates to 210 ha. Smaller, temporary camps will then be laid out within the larger areas and grazed by means of a rotational system. These camps will then be irrigated by using pivot irrigation.
