ProposalDescription: 

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES (CURRENT & PROPOSED): The site is a fully developed site within the established industrial area of Roodekop. The site characterized by paved surfaces and factory buildings. There are currently no activities taking place on site. The previous occupants of the facility were a glassmaking company. The proposed activity is to be located within the existing buildings and will require minimum alteration to building structures. All operations will take place within the confined boundaries of the facility. Equipment related to foundry operations, such as furnaces, shot blast machine and sand reclamation plant etc., will be systematically installed within the existing buildings in dedicated areas (please refer to study site description in Section 2.2), as required. The proposed installation of foundry equipment will enable the facility to melt ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, then reshape them into the desired products at or near their finished shape through the pouring and solidification of the molten metal or alloy into moulds. The proposed melting capacity at the facility at any one time while running both furnaces (i.e. 2 tonne furnace and one 1 tonne furnace) will be four heats per day per furnace, with a maximum of 10 ton per day at full capacity. The proposed installation of foundry equipment to take place at the following site: Province: Gauteng Province Address: Portions 3 and 4 of ERF 1526 Roodekop, Coordinates- Latitude: 33° 51' 59.20"S Coordinates- Longitude:18° 30' 43.87"E

Expanded_Motivation: 

A high sensitivity for archaeological and cultural heritage is associated with the proposed site as per the DFFE screening tool due to the protected area (i.e. the Ronderbult Bird Sanctuary) within 1 km from the site. The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), shows that the proposed development site is situated further than 2km from the nearest heritage sites which include: Redan Rock Engraving Site, Freedom Park, Meyer Dwelling, Meeyersdal, Alberton District, Chris Hani Memorial and Walk of Remembrance and the Grave Number A1 – Chris Hani Grave. As the site is located within an existing industrial area and is located a significant distance from the Heritage sites, Marang believes that it is improbable that the proposed activity could render any significant impact on these sites
