Conditions:
As the proposed line will be located in a disturbed area, is unlikely that in-situ heritage resources will be
impacted by the proposed powerline. As such, no further assessment of the impact to heritage resources is
required as per section 38(2)a of the NHRA. The applicant is advised of the following:
- If any evidence of archaeological sites or remains (e.g. remnants of stone-made structures, indigenous ceramics, bones, stone artefacts, ostrich eggshell fragments, charcoal and ash concentrations), fossils
or other categories of heritage resources are found during the proposed development, SAHRA
Development Applications Unit (DAU) (Natasha Higgitt 021 202 8660) must be alerted as per section
35(3) of the NHRA. Non-compliance with section of the NHRA is an offense in terms of section 51(1)e
of the NHRA and item 5 of the Schedule; - If unmarked human burials are uncovered, the SAHRA DAU (Natasha Higgitt 021 202 8600) must be
alerted immediately as per section 36(6) of the NHRA. Non-compliance with section of the NHRA is an
offense in terms of section 51(1)e of the NHRA and item 5 of the Schedule; See section 51(1) of the
NHRA regarding offenses; - If heritage resources are uncovered during the course of the development, a professional archaeologist
or palaeontologist, depending on the nature of the finds, must be contracted as soon as possible to
inspect the heritage resource. If the newly discovered heritage resources prove to be of archaeological
or palaeontological significance, a Phase 2 rescue operation may be required subject to permits issued
by SAHRA.
