The following comments are made as a requirement in terms of section 38 of the NHRA.
- 38(2)a and 38(5) – The HIA formally requested by HWC must also be submitted to SAHRA, so that SAHRA can review the HIA for resources that fall under SAHRA's remit, specifically MUCH resources in this case.
- 38(3) – The HIA must include a section with a detailed chance find's procedure that at the minimum states the following for the coastal zone: "If any evidence of maritime heritage resources or other categories of heritage resources are found during the proposed development, SAHRA DAU (Natasha Higgitt 021 202 8660 / [email protected]) and SAHRA MUCH (Ruan Brand 021 642 8672 / [email protected]) must be alerted without delay as per section 35(3) of the NHRA. Non-compliance with this section of the NHRA is an offense in terms of section 51(1)e of the NHRA and item 5 of the Schedule".
