ProposalDescription: 

Portion 12 of Farm Buffelsvlei 69 is situated approximately 5km North-East of Colesberg, between the R717 and N1, in the Northern Cape Province. The correct property number of the farm is 12/69 since amended in 1989, and not 69. The application is for the clearance of 19,9 ha of indigenous vegetation on Portion 12 of Farm Buffelsvlei 69, Colesberg, to establish a centre pivot development for the cultivation and irrigation of lucerne. This will trigger Activity 27 of GN R983 Listing Notice 1. Lucerne will be irrigated by using existing centre pivots from areas on the same property where planting is not anymore possible. Treated effluent water flowing through Buffelsvlei will be used for the irrigation as approved by the Water Use License (WUL) for the Municipal Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW). The WUL indicate that 486 700m3 at 12 167,50m3/ha may be cultivated on 40ha. The crop pre-scribed is Lucerne. This crop will not allow for the cultivation of other crops during the season when lucern is not productive. Application will be made to also plant other crops during the Lucerne “off season” so that crops such as oats or maize or teff can be planted to fully utilise the available water.
