Interim Comment
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites (APM) Unit requests that an assessment of the impact to palaeontological resources be conducted as part of the EA application process, as the proposed development is located within an area of moderate palaeontological sensitivity as per the SAHRIS PalaeoSensitivity Map. The assessment must be conducted by a qualified palaeontologist and must comply with the SAHRA 2012 Minimum Standards: Palaeontological Components of Heritage Impact Assessments. Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the above.
SAHRA advises the applicant to follow the process in terms of section 23(1)b of the NEMA Regulations in order to extend the EA process to comply with this comment.
