Proposed development of a sand mine borrow pit outside of Van Wyks Vlei

An Environmental Authorisation was obtained for the construction of a water pipeline between Carnarvon and Van Wyksvlei. The contractor however requires bedding material for the pipeline. Hence, application is made for a borrow pit on Farm Vredelus. The total estimated volume of material will amount to approximately 24 400 m³. The borrow pit will be a strategic borrow pit, with the mining of materials only to take place until completion of the construction of the water pipeline.
