Case Decision - 197504

SAHRA Response to Notification of Development
This application constitutes a section 38 (1) application for approval by SAHRA in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 of 1999 (NHRA), as the proposed power line exceeds 300 metres in length. As such SAHRA is providing response in terms of section 38(2) with regards to this application.
SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit cannot make an informed decision on this proposed development because the information provided to this case is not enough to determine decisively that heritage resources will not be disturbed or damaged by the proposed power line construction. In order for SAHRA to process this case, the SAHRA requests that the project description on the actual case application must align with the information provided in the DESD and span plan document. The SAHRA also requests the submission of ground level photographs of the power line route and an amended .kml file that maps the power line route as it appears in the survey diagram.
If historical features are identified in the photographs, then an assessment of impacts to heritage resources will be required in terms of section 38(2)a.
