ProposalDescription: 

Sappi Saiccor Mill is situated in Umkhomazi Drift, approximately 50km south of Durban. The Mill manufactures dissolved wood pulp to create a wide range of consumer products, particularly viscose fibre for clothing and textiles. The Saiccor Mill was established in the 1950’s in close proximity to, and within the floodplain of, the uMkhomazi River. Sappi Saiccor proposes to raise a flood protection berm around their site to reduce the risk of the Mill being inundated during an extreme flood event. The existing flood protection measures at the Mill includes a flood berm, comprising a concrete retaining wall and a partially enclosed earth fill berm located along the western and northern boundaries, having a top level of 12m. The proposed development consists of an extension to the flood protection measures by way of raising the existing concrete and earth flood walls as well as extending the existing earth berm. Typically, the structure will have a base width of approximately 14.5m and a crest height of 4m above ground level
