Final Comment
As this is an amendment application of an EMPr, the SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites (APM) Unit has no objection against the amendment subject to the following conditions that must be adhered to:
Should any objects of archaeological or palaeontological remains be found during the rehabilitation activities, work must immediately stop in that area and the Environmental Control Officer (ECO) must be informed.
The ECO must inform the South African Heritage Recourse Agency (SAHRA) and contact an archaeologist and/or palaeontologist, depending on the nature of the find, to assess the importance and rescue them if necessary (with the relevant SAHRA permit). No work may be resumed in this area without the permission from the ECO and SAHRA.
If the newly discovered heritage resource is considered significant a Phase 2 assessment may be required. A permit from the responsible heritage authority will be needed.
