5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Please provide a detailed description of the project.

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has appointed Terratest (Pty) Ltd as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner for the ‘Upgrading of National Route R335 between Motherwell (km 5.600) and Addo (km 37.600)’ within the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) and Sundays River Valley Local Municipality (SRVLM). The improvement works will include road drainage upgrades, widening and/or replacement of bridges and culverts and all associated road furniture. The R335 between Motherwell and Addo is a major link in the road network of the Coega hinterland. It serves as a major link for traffic to the industrial production areas (manufacture of cement and clay bricks), agricultural areas (citrus farm areas) around Addo and Kirkwood, as well as to tourism areas such as the Addo Elephant National Park. The total length of the road to be upgraded will be 32 km and crosses the Coega River and Sundays River. The work to be executed will comprise the following: Route realignment The proposed upgrading will start at the WM Maku Street intersection in Motherwell (km 5.600) and will end at the southern boundary of the Addo CBD (km 37.600). A dual carriageway is proposed for the urban section within Motherwell starting at WM Maku Street (km 5.600) and continue up to the intersection with the R334 (km 9.300) where it transitions over 150 m to the start of the single carriageway. The new road alignment will be generally offset to either the left or the right of the existing road. Where possible the offset will be 7m, (left or right) in order to assist with maintaining two-way traffic accommodation while at the same time reducing the requirement for temporary deviations and stop-and-goes. It is anticipated that the only long term stop-and-go will be at the Sundays Rive Bridge in order to facilitate widening of the deck. The vertical alignment will be smoothed out along portions of the alignment to prevent sudden dips

and rises in the road surface. As a result, substantial mass earthworks (cut and fill) on the existing road will be required.

Road Drainage Drainage on the road will be achieved by a combination of the longitudinal grade and the cross fall of the road. The cross fall of the road will be increased to 2.5 % where the longitudinal grade falls below 1% and increased to 3% where the longitudinal grade falls below 0.5%. The stormwater will be collected in side drains, kerb and channel, concrete v drains or it will be allowed to run down embankments in the areas of low fill. Drainage away from the road prism will include the construction of cut-off drains at the tops of high cuts in order to avoid water spilling down the embankment. Subsoil drains will be installed to deal with groundwater in order to protect the lower road layers. Bridges and Structures 1. The following hydraulic structures will be affected by the upgrade:

a) The construction of a new bridge over the Coega River and the decommissioning of the ‘old’ Coega River Bridge.

b) The reconstruction and widening of the existing bridge on the Sundays River at km 34.80. The existing bridge is a three-span, reinforced concrete fixed arch structure with spandrel walls. As it will be necessary to widen the deck the existing balustrades and sidewalks shall be demolished, maintaining a similar, arched profile in order to accommodate a wider road profile. The new deck will accommodate a road width of 13.4 m.

c) The construction / expansion of in situ box culverts complete with inlet and outlet structures of which 2 major culverts are located on intersecting roads a short distance from the R335:

o Culvert A (new culvert) – 2 cell x 2.4m wide x 2.4m high on the DR01958 at km 0.120 o Culvert B (upgrading and expanding existing culvert) – 3 cell x 3.4m wide x 3.2m high on the R335 at

km 27.120 o Culvert C (upgrading and expanding existing culvert) – 3 cell x 3.4m wide x 3.2m high on the R335 at

km 28.825 o Culvert D (upgrading and expanding existing culvert) – 3 cell x 3.4m wide x 3.2m high on the R335 at

km 29.305 o Culvert E (upgrading and expanding existing culvert) – 3 cell x 3.4m wide x 3.2m high on the R335 at

km 30.730


Page 7 of 17

o Culvert F (upgrading and expanding existing culvert) – 3 cell x 3.4m wide x 3.2m high on the R335 at km 32.310

o Culvert G (new culvert) - 2 cell x 1.8m wide x 2 m high on the MN50267 at km 0.08 d) The construction of minor precast box culverts complete with inlet and outlet structures.

2. The construction of retaining structures (concrete and/or reinforced earth). 3. The construction of three precast culvert type underpasses to facilitate the safe movement of wildlife to either side of the road:

a) Underpass #01 crosses the R335 at km 33.240. Configuration is 1-cell x 3000mm width x 3000mm height. b) Underpass #02 crosses the R335 at km 33.270. Configuration is 1-cell x 3000mm width x 3000mm height. c) Underpass #03 crosses the R335 at km 28.050. Configuration is 1-cell x 3000mm width x 3000mm height.

Roadworks

a) Clearing and grubbing; b) Removal of topsoil for widening of the road. c) Roadbed preparation for widening of the road. d) Bulk Earthworks (Cut to fill or spoil). e) Removal of existing road layer works to stockpile. f) The construction of in-situ and imported layers; g) The construction of a C3 stabilised sub-base layer; h) The construction of a crushed stone base bitumen stabilised and unstabilised; and, i) Surfacing the road with a Cape Seal.

Ancillary Roadworks

a) Construction of bus/taxi stops with shelters; b) Fencing of the road reserve; c) The provision of road markings; d) The installation of road studs; e) The installation of new road signs; f) The erection of guardrails; g) Pedestrian facilities, including sidewalks where appropriate; h) Top-soiling and grassing of cut and fill slopes; and i) Finishing off the road reserve, spoil areas and borrow pits.

Please note that an Application for a Mining Permit for material sources for seven borrow pits is to be applied for. However, as the Competent Authority related to mining right and permit applications is the Department of Mineral Resources, a separate application is being undertaken and will not be dealt with further under this Application.

7. ACTIVITIES APPLIED FOR For an application for authorisation that involves more than one listed activity that, together, make up one development proposal, all the listed activities pertaining to this application must be provided below.

Activity No(s): Provide the relevant Basic Assessment Activity(ies) as set out in Listing Notice 1 (GN R983)

Describe the portion of the proposed project to which the applicable listed activity relates.

GNR 983

(Listing Notice

1), as

amended:

Activity 19

“The infilling or depositing of any material of more than 10 cubic meters into, or the dredging, excavation,

removal or moving of soil, sand, shells, shell grit,

pebbles or rock of more than 10 cubic meters from –

(a) A watercourse;”

Construction of the new Coega River Bridge

and new culverts as well as the expansion of

the existing Sundays River Bridge and existing

culverts will require the excavation and

removal of material from the various

watercourses. As the cumulative volume of

material to be excavated from the

watercourses is anticipated to be 3000 m³, this

Listed Activity is triggered.

GNR 983

(Listing Notice

1), as

amended:

Activity 27

“The clearance of an area of 1 hectares or more, but less than 20 hectares of indigenous vegetation,

except where such clearance of indigenous vegetation

is required for-

(i) the undertaking of a linear activity…”

It is to be noted that whilst this exclusion

applies to the upgrading of the R335 road, it

does not apply to the proposed bridge and

culvert structures, site camps and stockpile

areas. As such, it is anticipated that

cumulatively, in excess of 1ha of indigenous

vegetation will be cleared during the

construction process and as such this Listed

Activity is triggered.

GNR 983

(Listing Notice

1), as

amended:

Activity 31

“The decommissioning of existing facilities, structures

or infrastructure for –

(i) any development and related operation activity or

activities listed in this Notice, Listing Notice 2 of 2014

or Listing Notice 3 of 2014…”

The new Coega River Bridge will be

constructed adjacent to the existing bridge

structure. Once construction is completed, the

‘old’ bridge will be decommissioned and demolished and would trigger Activity 19 (of

LN1) and Activities 12 and 14 (of LN3) if it was

to be constructed. As such, this Listed Activity

for the decommissioning of this structure is

triggered.

GNR 983

(Listing Notice

1), as

amended:

Activity 48

“The expansion of –

(i) infrastructure or structures where the physical

footprint is expanded by 100 square metres or more;

Where such expansion occurs-

(a) within a watercourse;

(c) if no development setback exists, within 32 metres

of a watercourse, measured from the edge of a

watercourse…”

The cumulative expansion of the Sundays

River Bridge and culvert structures will exceed

100m² and will occur within watercourses, as

well as within 32m of watercourses. As such,

this Listed Activity is triggered.

GNR 983

(Listing Notice

1), as

amended:

Activity 56

“The widening of a road by more than 6 metres, or the lengthening of a road by more than 1 kilometre-

(i) where the existing reserve is wider than 13.5

metres…”

The proposed upgrading of the R335 road will

exceed a road widening width of 6 metres and

has a reserve of 30 metres (a maximum total

road width of 13.4m applies) and as such this

Listed Activity is triggered.


Page 13 of 17

Activity No(s): Provide the relevant Basic Assessment Activity(ies) as set out in Listing Notice 3 (GN R985)


GNR 985

(Listing Notice

3), as

amended:

Activity 12

“The clearance of an area of 300 square metres or more of indigenous vegetation except where such

clearance of indigenous vegetation is required for

maintenance purposes undertaken in accordance with

a maintenance plan.

a. Eastern Cape

i. Within any critically endangered or endangered

ecosystem listed in terms of section 52 of NEMBA or

prior to publication of such a list, within an area that

has been identified as critically endangered in the

National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment 2004…”

The alignment of the R335 at the Coega River

Bridge passes directly through what is

characterised as Albany Alluvial Vegetation,

which has an endangered status as per

SANBI status. The construction of the new

Coega River Bridge is anticipated to require

the clearing of in excess of 300m², and as

such this Listed Activity is triggered.

GNR 985

(Listing Notice

3), as

amended:

Activity 14

“The development of –

(ii) infrastructure or structures with a physical footprint

of 10 square metres or more;

where such development occurs –


(c) …within 32 meters of a watercourse, measured from the edge of the watercourse;

excluding the development of infrastructure or

structures within existing ports or harbours that will not

increase the development footprint of the port or

harbour.

(a) In Eastern Cape:

i. Outside urban areas, in:

(aa) A protected area identified in terms of NEMPAA,

excluding conservancies;

(hh) Areas within 10 kilometres from national parks or

world heritage sites or 5 kilometres from any other

protected area identified in terms of NEMPAA or from

the core area of a biosphere reserve.”

The footprint of the Coega River Bridge, within

the Coega River, proposed to be demolished

and reconstructed, will exceed the 100m²

footprint. In addition, new drainage culverts

will be established along the upgraded

alignment. The majority of the proposed

development will occur outside an urban area

(see Appendix 7).

A section of the R335 bisects the Tregathlyn

Game Farm, listed on the DEA Screening Tool

as a Protected Area. Within this portion of the

alignment, one new culvert (Culvert A) is to be

constructed with a footprint of 23.04m² (4.8m x

4.8m). The construction of Culvert G, a new

culvert, falls within 7.6km of the Addo

Elephant National Park and has a footprint of

12.96m² (3.6m x 3.6m). Based on these

factors this Listed Activity is triggered.

GNR 985

(Listing Notice

3), as

amended:

Activity 18

“The widening of a road by more than 4 metres, or the lengthening of a road by more than 1 kilometre.

(a) Eastern Cape:

i. Outside urban areas:

(aa) A protected area identified in terms of NEMPAA,

excluding conservancies;

(gg) Areas within 10 kilometres from national parks or



the core area of a biosphere reserve;

(kk) A watercourse…”

The proposed upgrading of the R335 will

involve the widening of the road by more than

4m and the majority of the proposed site falls

outside the urban area. The proposed site

falls within 10 km from the Addo Elephant

National Park. In addition, the road traverses

the Sundays and Coega Rivers as well as

unnamed watercourses at which the culverts

will be constructed. This Listed Activity is

therefore triggered.

amended:

Activity 23

“The expansion of –

(ii) infrastructure or structures where the physical

footprint is expanded by 10 square metres or more;

where such expansion occurs –


(c) if no development setback has been adopted,

The bridge crossing the Sundays River will be

expanded by more than 910m² (130m x 7m).

In addition Culverts C, D, E and F will all be

expanded (each having a footprint of 34.68m²

(10.2m x 3.4m). The proposed sites fall within

10 km from the Addo Elephant National Park.

In addition, the road traverses the Sundays

and Coega Rivers as well as unnamed

watercourses at which the culverts will be

constructed. This Listed Activity IS therefore

triggered.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Provide details of the public participation process proposed for the application as required by Regulation 41(2) of GN R982 of 04 December 2014, as amended.

Prior to submitting an Application to the Department of Environmental Affairs, Terratest advertised the application in one (1) local newspaper. Site notices were erected along the upgrade alignment. A Background Information Document (BID) was disseminated via letter drop, email and postage, to all landowners and IAP’s situated along the R335. These circulations notified members of the public of the proposed activity and provided details on how Interested and Affected Parties could participate in the process. Terratest also submitted the BID to key stakeholders, Government Departments and members of the public who had requested to be registered. Following the commencement of the Public Participation Process period, Terratest will submit an Application Form to the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA). Concurrently, the Draft Basic Assessment Report (DBAR) will be circulated to key stakeholders, Government Departments and copies will be made available for public review at the local municipal office and public library, as well as for download off the Terratest (Pty) Ltd website. As prescribed within GN R.982 of the 2014 EIA regulations (as amended), the DBAR will be made available for review and comment for a period of 30 days. Once the aforementioned commenting timeframes have expired, the EAP will consolidate all comments received on the application, address any concerns or queries raised and finalise the BAR and Environmental Management Programme (EMPr). The BAR and EMPr will then be submitted to the DEA for review and decision making. All of the PPP to be undertaken will be in accordance with GN R.982 of NEMA (Act 107 of 1998), as amended.

• Strengthen economic development in Port Elizabeth through a manganese rail capacity from Northern Cape

• A manganese sinter (Northern Cape) and smelter (Eastern Cape)

• Possible Mthombo refinery (Coega) and transshipment hub at Ngqura and port and rail upgrades to improve industrial capacity and performance of the automotive sector.

SIP 4: Unlocking the economic opportunities in North West Province

• Acceleration of investments in road, rail, bulk water, water treatment and transmission infrastructure

• Enabling reliable supply and basic service delivery

• Facilitate development of mining, agricultural activities and tourism opportunities

• Open up beneficiation opportunities in North West Province.

SIP 5: Saldanha-Northern Cape development corridor

• Integrated rail and port expansion

• Back-of-port industrial capacity (including an IDZ)

• Strengthening maritime support capacity for oil and gas along African West Coast

• Expansion of iron ore mining production and beneficiation.

SIP 6: Integrated municipal infrastructure project Develop national capacity to assist the 23 least resourced districts (19 million people) to address all the maintenance backlogs and upgrades required in water, electricity and sanitation bulk infrastructure. The road maintenance programme will enhance service delivery capacity thereby impacting positively on the population.

SIP 7: Integrated urban space and public transport programme Coordinate planning and implementation of public transport, human settlement, economic and social infrastructure and location decisions into sustainable urban settlements connected by densified transport corridors. This will focus on the 12 largest urban centres of the country, including all the metros in South Africa. Significant work is underway on urban transport integration.

SIP 8: Green energy in support of the South African economy Support sustainable green energy initiatives on a national scale through a diverse range of clean energy options as envisaged in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2010) and support bio-fuel production facilities.


Page 32 of 17

Indicate capacity in MW:

SIP 9: Electricity generation to support socioeconomic development Accelerate the construction of new electricity generation capacity in accordance with the IRP2010 to meet the needs of the economy and address historical imbalances. Monitor implementation of major projects such as new power stations: Medupi, Kusile and Ingula. Indicate capacity in MW:

SIP 10: Electricity transmission and distribution for all Expand the transmission and distribution network to address historical imbalances, provide access to electricity for all and support economic development. Align the 10-year transmission plan, the services backlog, the national broadband roll-out and the freight rail line development to leverage off regulatory approvals, supply chain and project development capacity.

SIP 11: Agri-logistics and rural infrastructure Improve investment in agricultural and rural infrastructure that supports expansion of production and employment, small-scale farming and rural development, including facilities for storage (silos, fresh-produce facilities, packing houses); transport links to main networks (rural roads, branch train-line, ports), fencing of farms, irrigation schemes to poor areas, improved R&D on rural issues (including expansion of agricultural colleges), processing facilities (abattoirs, dairy infrastructure), aquaculture incubation schemes and rural tourism infrastructure.

SIP 12: Revitalisation of public hospitals and other health facilities Build and refurbish hospitals, other public health facilities and revamp 122 nursing colleges. Extensive capital expenditure to prepare the public healthcare system to meet the requirements of the National Health Insurance (NHI) system. The SIP contains major builds for 6 hospitals.

SIP 13: National school build programme A national school build programme driven by uniformity in planning, procurement, contract management and provision of basic services. Replace inappropriate school structures and address basic service backlog and provision of basic services under the Accelerated School Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI). In addition, address national backlogs in classrooms, libraries, computer labs and admin buildings. Improving the learning environment will strengthen outcomes especially in rural schools, as well as reduce overcrowding.

SIP 14: Higher education infrastructure Infrastructure development for higher education, focusing on lecture rooms, student accommodation, libraries and laboratories, as well as ICT connectivity. Development of university towns with a combination of facilities from residence, retail to recreation and transport. Potential to ensure shared infrastructure such as libraries by universities, FETs and other educational institutions. Two new universities will be built - in Northern Cape and Mpumalanga.

SIP 15: Expanding access to communication technology Provide for broadband coverage to all households by 2020 by establishing core Points of Presence (POPs) in district municipalities, extend new Infraco fibre networks across provinces linking districts, establish POPs and fibre connectivity at local level, and further penetrate the network into deep rural areas. While the private sector will invest in ICT infrastructure for urban and corporate networks, government will co-invest for township and rural access, as well as for e-government, school and health connectivity. The school roll-out focus is initially on the 125 Dinaledi (science and maths-focussed) schools and 1525 district schools. Part of digital access to all South Africans includes TV migration nationally from analogue to digital broadcasting.

SIP 16: SKA & Meerkat SKA is a global mega-science project, building an advanced radio-telescope facility linked to research infrastructure and high-speed ICT capacity and provides an opportunity for Africa and South Africa to contribute towards global advanced science projects.

SIP 17: Regional integration for African cooperation and development Participate in mutually beneficial infrastructure projects to unlock long-term socio-economic benefits by partnering with fast growing African economies with projected growth ranging between 3% and 10%.


Page 33 of 17

The projects involving transport, water and energy also provide competitively-priced, diversified, short and medium to long-term options for the South African economy where, for example, electricity transmission in Mozambique (Cesul) could assist in providing cheap, clean power in the short-term whilst Grand Inga in the DRC is long-term. All these projects complement the Free Trade Area (FTA) discussions to create a market of 600 million people in South, Central and East Africa.

SIP 18: Water and sanitation infrastructure A 10-year plan to address the estimated backlog of adequate water to supply 1.4m households and 2.1m households to basic sanitation.
