Interim Comment
As the proposed development footprint is located in an area of low sensitivity for palaeontological resources as per the SAHRIS PalaeoSensitivity map, no further assessment of the impact to palaeontological resources is required. In terms of archaeological heritage resources, the 2007 SAHRA Minimum Standards: Archaeological and Palaeontological Components of Impact Assessments refers to a Letter of Recommendation of Exemption that must be submitted if a proposed development area is in a disturbed context. This Letter of Recommendation of Exemption must be compiled by a qualified heritage specialist and submitted as part of the EA process.
Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the above requested report.
