SEC PROJECT NUMBER: 0140210 DEA&DP REFERENCE NUMBER: NOT YET OBTAINED To whom it may concern, Sillito Environmental Consulting (SEC) has been appointed by the City of Cape Town to undertake an application for an Environmental Authorisation to construct a sewer pipeline in the Kuils River area. Currently nine properties (erven 2423, 2424, 2426, 7409, 7410, 8112, 8113, 8114 and 8115) within Kuils River are currently serviced by means of a conservancy tank situated on erf 8115 which is pumped out twice a week. In line with the City of Cape Town’s objective to provide on-site water borne sewerage (City of Cape Town, Water and Sanitation Standard, 2008) in all urban areas, the City of Cape Town proposes to install a connector sewer pipeline to serve these erven in question. The preferred option for this, (gravity system) would be to install a deep sewer pipeline running in a southeastern direction along Van Riebeck Road and connecting to the existing 600mm diameter sewer in the area. It is anticipated that the pipeline most likely will not fit within the road reserve itself and as such will have to run through a portion of the adjacent erven: Erf 8115, Erf 928, Erf 10571, Erf 18030, Erf 915, Erf 935, Erf 936, Erf 922. The proposed activity triggers two activities listed in terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations published in 2010 in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998) as amended. The activities in question are listed as follows: Government Notice R544 Activity 11 Government Notice R544 Activity 18 As such, a Basic Assessment process is required to apply for authorisation of the construction of the pipeline. As the registered landowner, you will be included in the database of the affected parties and so will be given the opportunity to review and comment on the assessment reports produced for this application process. Public participation is anticipated to commence in approximately one month’s time. In the meantime, please may we have your contact details (email and telephone number) so that we may liase with you directly in future rather that by post?

Reis was vol hoogtepunte Vir die graad 11-leerder van die Hoërskool Durbanville wat die Julie-vakansie na Engeland getoer het, was dit die een hoogtepunt op die ander. Dit was nie net Tamarin Valentine van Morningstar se eerste keer op ’n vliegtuig nie, maar ook haar eerste oorsese reis. Sy het saam met haar Engels-onderwyser, Gina Mantel-Böhr, die toer na Engeland onderneem – ’n jaarlikse instelling by dié skool. Die hele Morningstar-gemeenskap het Tamarin ondersteun en gehelp om geld in te samel. Haar ma, Sophia, het braaigeleenthede en modevertonings gehou. Dit is ook moontlik gemaak danksy ’n skenking van die Heath-skool in Engeland verlede jaar toe die skool Suid-Afrika besoek het. Hulle kon nie Robbeneiland besoek weens weersomstandighede nie, en het toe die geld wat dit sou kos, aan die Primêre Skool Alpha in Morningstar geskenk. Tamarin was hoofmeisie by dié skool op laerskool en die skool het dit aan Tamarin bewillig vir haar oorsese reis. Hulle het op 25 Junie vertrek en drie weke daar deurgebring. Vir Tamarin was die London Eye, asook Buckingham Palace en die “changing of the guards”, van die talle hoogtepunte. Sy som die ervaring met een woord op: “Ongelooflik!” Ander hoogtepunte was hul besoek aan die Londen-museum, die kerkdiens wat hulle in St Paul’s-katedraal bygewoon het en ’n piekniek in Green Park – nogal met spesiale eetgoed van Sainsbury’s. Sy was bevoorreg om beide die stad én die platteland te sien. Sy was ook in Wallis, waar die besoek aan die Cardiff-kasteel nog ’n hoogtepunt vir haar was. Volgens Mantel-Böhr was Tamarin deurentyd ’n ware ambassadeur vir die Hoërskool Durbanville én SuidAfrika. Met haar terugkoms is sy met ’n banier by die huis terugverwelkom, en haar ouers het op dieselfde dag ’n braai gehou om dankie te sê vir almal wat gehelp het om Tamarin se droom te verwesenlik. Tamarin Valentine (links voor) staan hier voor die Suid Afrikaanse ambassade in Londen.

Box 30134 Tokai 7966 Attention: Kirsty Robinson By email: [email protected] Dear Kirsty Draft Basic Assessment Report for the Proposed Sewer Connection Pipeline for Erf 8115 and Adjacent Properties in Kuils River, Cape Town (DEA&DP ref. no.: 16/3/1/1/A5/43/1037/14) CapeNature would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed development and would like to make the following comments. Please note that our comments only pertain to the biodiversity related impacts and not to the overall desirability of the proposed development. The route (including alternatives) traversed by the proposed pipeline is located within an urban area and has been transformed, as verified by the Biodiversity Network. There is however a wetland classified as Other Ecological Support Area on two of the larger erven traversed. The termination point of the pipeline is on the banks of the Kuils River. A freshwater ecological specialist study was undertaken, which verified that the wetlands are highly disturbed and of low ecological value and also indicated the poor, modified condition of the Kuils River. The Kuils River does still however perform an important functional and ecosystem services role as the major drainage line in the area. CapeNature supports the findings of the freshwater ecological specialist study and all the proposed recommendations must be implemented. In particular, mitigation measures must be implemented to ensure no spillages of sewage into the Kuils River during the operational phase as this has the potential to result in impacts of high significance. CapeNature reserves the right to revise initial comments and request further information based on any additional information that may be received. Yours sincerely Rhett Smart For: Manager (Scientific Services) The Western Cape Nature Conservation Board trading as CapeNature Board Members: Mr Eduard Kok (Chairperson), Prof Gavin Maneveldt (Vice Chairperson), Ms Francina du Bruyn, Mr Mico Eaton, Dr Edmund February, Prof Francois Hanekom, Mr Carl Lotter, Dr Bruce McKenzie, Ms Merle McOmbring-Hodges, Adv Mandla Mdludlu, Mr Danie Nel global From: Sent: To: Subject: Kirsty Robinson 20 October 2014 02:21 PM 'Rhett Smart' RE: DEA&DP Request for Comments for Proposed sewer pipeline, Kuilsriver (DEA&DP Ref: 16/3/1/1/A5/43/1037/14) Good afternoon Rhett, SEC acknowledges receipt of Cape Nature’s comments on the above mentioned project in compliance with the feedback received from DEA&DP, thank you. SEC notes that Cape Nature supports the findings and recommendations of the freshwater ecological specialist study and further notes that Cape Nature agrees that the proposed recommendations of the freshwater study must be implemented. Mitigation measures, as recommended by the freshwater specialist, to ensure no spillages of sewage enter the Kuils River during the operational phase have been included in the Environmental Management Plan and will be implemented accordingly. Further, as per comment 3.5 of the DEA&DP: Land Management comment on the Draft BAR dated 8th September, the existing EMP will be revised to include a river maintenance management plan to guide future river maintenance work. This will be included as an appendix to the EMP and circulated with the Final BAR.

SEC PROJECT NUMBER: 0140210 DEA&DP REFERENCE NUMBER: 16/3/1/1/A5/43/1037/14 Dear Rhett, Nine properties erven 2423, 2424, 2426, 7409, 7410, 8112, 8113, 8114 and 8115, (hereafter known as “Erf 8115 and the adjacent erven”) within Kuils River are currently serviced by means of a conservancy tank situated on erf 8115. The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department pump this conservancy tank twice a week and as such, the operation and maintenance costs are high. The applicant, City of Cape Town, thus proposes to construct a sewer connection pipeline to connect Erf 8115 and the adjacent properties to the existing bulk sewer infrastructure in the area. The proposed activity triggers the following listed activities which are listed in terms of Government Notice No. 544 of 2010, which is promulgated in terms of the NEMA: GN No. R. 544 Activity No11: The construction of: (xi) infrastructure or structures covering 50 square metres or more; Where such construction occurs within a watercourse or within 32 metres of a watercourse, excluding where such construction will occur behind the development setback line. GN No. R. 544 Activity No 18: The infilling or depositing of any material of more than 5 cubic metres into, or the dredging excavation, removal or moving on soil, shells, pebbles or rock of more than 5 cubic metres from: (i) a watercourse The Draft Basic Assessment Report was sent out for the 40 day period of public comment between 30th July 2014 and 8th September. As per point 3.3 of the attached DEA&DP Land Management Region 1 feedback, DEA&DP commented that as a loss of wetland habitat and biota could be expected during the construction of the pipeline within the wetland, comment must be obtained from Cape Nature in this regard. The aforementioned comment must be included in the final BAR to be distributed for public comment. As such, SEC has sent, for your review and comment, 1 CD and 1 hardcopy of the Draft Basic Assessment Report for the proposed sewer connection pipeline for Erf 8115 and the adjacent erven located in Kuilsriver, Western Cape. Comments should be submitted in writing to Kirsty Robinson at SEC: Tel: 021 712 5060 5 Fax: 021 712 5061 Postal address: PO Box 30134, Tokai, 7966 Email: [email protected] Please could comments be sent to SEC as soon as possible.

SEC has registered you as an Interested and Affected party for this project. As such, you will be notified of all further developments in relation to this project. In light of your concerns raised, I have spoken to the project engineer to obtain further input. The pipeline will be underground (approximately 3metres deep at its deepest point). According to the project engineer, as the system is a closed water system (a standard system used throughout the City of Cape Town), it is very unlikely that any smell will emanate with the system. I trust that this is in order. Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A freshwater ecological specialist study was undertaken, which verified that the wetlands are highly disturbed and of low ecological value and also indicated the poor, modified condition of the Kuils River. The Kuils River does still however perform an important functional and ecosystem services role as the major drainage line in the area. Cape Nature supports the findings of the freshwater ecological specialist study and all the proposed recommendations must be implemented. In particular, mitigation measures must be implemented to ensure no spillages of sewage into the Kuils River during the operational phase as this has the potential to result in impacts of high significance. Cape Nature reserves the right to revise initial comments and request further information based on any additional information that may be received. Mitigation measures, as recommended by the freshwater specialist, to ensure no spillages of sewage enter the Kuils River during the operational phase have been included in the Environmental Management Plan and will be implemented accordingly.

The development footprint will have a diameter of 3metres within which the pipeline will be lain. 2. The deepest point of excavation will be 2.5metres. 3. It has been ascertained that the pipeline will not fit within the paved portion of the road reserve and as such it will be lain adjacent to the paved portion of the road reserve and run within a small portion of each of the adjacent erven. 4. All landowners of the erven which will have the pipeline running through them have been verbally notified by Daveng. 5. Total length of the pipeline will be 510metres with approximately 10 manholes. 6. It is anticipated that the material that will be need to be excavated in order to lay the pipeline will be sand. Should this be the case, the sand will be excavated and laid to one side (not on the portion where the wetland is currently). Once the pipeline has been lain, the sand will be used as backfill. Should the material be clay or another type of material that is difficult to use as backfill (very wet, or lots of rubble), it will be excavated and either re‐used elsewhere if possible or relocated to a general waste landfill. The excavated area containing the pipeline will then in filled in with sand. 7. Option 1 (preferred option) Cheaper option Will lie adjacent to already existing infrastructure It is a requirement of the developer to build a sewer connection pipeline It will link up with the existing sewerage infrastructure to the South along Van Riebeck Road. Positive impact for adjacent landowners as they can connect to the system 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. Will allow for further development on portions of land that has already bee developed (as they can connect to the system). No risks in terms of potential overflow as it is a gravity system which will join into the existing infrastructure. Long term, sustainable solution Option 2 (non‐preferred option) More expensive Will involve constant maintenance Dependent on electricity which if for whatever reason fails, will mean that the sewerage could overflow into the surrounding area resulting in damage to property, infrastructure and human health Not a sustainable option Fewer people can access the system Will involve the redevelopment of roads which will be both costly as well as have a social impact (in terms of access and impacting local business) No further development can occur as a result of the infrastructure will be “locked in place” The construction phase is anticipated to last approximately 1 month. Technology Alternatives involve the following: (preferred option) PVC‐ lasts the longest, durable, long term solution, no impact on the surrounding environment, good quality and doesn’t breakdown. Fibre‐cement‐ only has a 20 year life span which will mean replacement in 20 years (costly and further unnecessary impacts) GRP fibreglass‐ very expensive and only used for smaller pipes. Not a preferable option. The condition of the signing over of the title deed was that the pipeline would need to be constructed‐ this has never been done. It is anticipated that the pipeline will not fit entirely within the road reserve and as such will have to run through a portion of each of the adjacent erven along Van Riebeck Road. This would mean that the pipeline would be about 1 metre from the road. The surrounding land use of the area is mixed and comprises of both residential as well as business, a school, a hospital, 2 x service stations as well as a car park. Expected capital value of the activity after completion is R850 000 The construction phase will last approximately one month. During that time the work will done by a combination of manual labour and machine. It is anticipated that approximately 5‐ 8 previously disadvantaged individuals will be hired to undertake the construction. This will provide employment for approximately one month. The expected value of employment per person is R200.00 (amounting to R4000.00 per person per month). Any water required during the construction phase will be supplied by water tanker. Municipal water is not anticipated to be required. Municipal power supply is not anticipated to be required as diesel generators will be used to supply all required power on the site.
