Met al die nywerheidsprojekte in die pyplyn in die Saldanha-omgewing kan niemand bybly met al die verwikkelinge nie.
Hoewel nywerheidsontwikkeling onvermydelik en noodsaaklik is vir ekonomiese groei en om in die behoeftes van inwoners te voorsien, is dit net positiewe vooruitgang as dit verantwoordelik, volhoubaar en streng volgens wetgewing en beheermaatreëls toegepas en bestuur word en nie die lewensgehalte van inwoners en hul leefomgewing bedreig nie.
Openbare deelname-prosesse is dus noodsaaklik om te verseker dat inwoners weet wat die onderskeie ontwikkelings behels en watter impak dit gaan hê – en veral om hul insette in die proses te gee.
Die volgende projekte is reeds in ‘n gevorderde beplanningstadium en goedkeuring is onderhewig aan openbare insette.

Background
BP South Africa (Pty) Ltd is proposing to develop a filling station with a capacity of (115
m³ (ULP 95 (Petrol) = 2 x 23000 litre tanks, LRP 95 (Petrol) =1 x 23000 litre tank and
D50 (Diesel) = 2 x 23000 litre tanks. Four pump islands will be canopy covered and the
service station will also have a convenience store.
The Study
BP South Africa (Pty) Ltd appointed Geomeasure Group (Pty) Ltd to undertake an application for environmental authorization to the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning as per the requirements of Section
24(5) of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). A legislative review has indicated that the application triggers the requirement for a Basic Assessment
under the National Environmental Management Act: GNR 983, Activity 14:
“the development of facilities or infrastructure, for the storage, or for the storage and handling, of a dangerous good, where such storage occurs in containers with a combined capacity of 80 cubic meters or more but not exceeding 500 cubic meters”
The proposed scope of work for the environmental process will follow the procedure detailed in GNR 982 (Appendix 1) of the EIA Regulations (2014), promulgated in terms of Section 24(5) of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). The
assessment will involve consultation with all Interested and Affected Parties (neighbours, NGOs, local conservancies, authorities, public etc) and assessment of any potential
environmental impacts associated with the project. Regular consultation with the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning will be undertaken to ensure that environmental regulations are complied with throughout the
process.
