Case Decision - 193937

Interim Comment
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites (APM) Unit awaits the outstanding PIA report before further comments are issued. The draft EIA and appendices must be submitted at the beginning of the Public Review period in order for an informed comment to be issued.
SAHRA would like to note at this time that to remain consistent throughout the Northern Cape, a minimum of 3 km buffer is required between any turbine placement and a National Road. The EAP must consider this during the EIA phase of the EA application process. See SAHRIS Case ID 473 official comments for more information (https://sahris.sahra.org.za/cases/roggeveld-wind-farm). The EAP may motivate for a reduction in this buffer as shown SAHRIS Case ID 8383 (https://sahris.sahra.org.za/cases/gunstfontein-wef).
