Interim Comment
The SAHRA Development Applications Unit (DAU) notes the submission of the draft Scoping Report and Heritage Sensitivity report by PGS Heritage (Pty) Ltd and the recommendation for a field based Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) to be undertaken by a suitably qualified archaeologist. The SAHRA awaits the submission of the HIA report, along with the draft EIAr and its appendices.
In addition, the study area is located in a region of Very High and Moderate Palaeontological Sensitivity according to the SAHRIS palaeomap, and a palaeontologist must be appointed to undertake a palaeontological impact assessment (PIA) and the report must be uploaded to the case for commenting in the EIA phase.
