2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Please provide a detailed description of the project.

juwi Renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd (juwi) propose to develop four 75 Megawatt (MW) Photovoltaic (PV) facilities and associated ancillary infrastructure. The proposed 1,440 hectares of Portion 6 of Farm No. 103 (locally known as Nelspoortje) is located northeast of Eskom’s Kronos substation, near Copperton in the Northern Cape. It is proposed that each 75 MW facility would be phased with a shared central 132 kilovolt (kV) substation to maximise connectivity options, while reducing the overall project costs. In order to evacuate the power generated from the proposed onsite substation, it is proposed to construct two double circuit overhead transmission lines (between 9 and 11 kilometres in length) to connect the proposed PV facilities with the existing Kronos substation. Each of the proposed PV facilities will be assessed in separate Environmental Impact Assessment Processes and the two transmission lines would be assessed separately in two Basic Assessment Processes1. This application deals specifically with the proposed 75 Megawatt Kronos Photovoltaic (PV) Facility 4 near Copperton, Northern Cape. This proposed PV facility is described in detail below. The Kronos PV4 facility would consist of the following:

• A photovoltaic component comprising of numerous rows of PV panels and associated support infrastructure to generate up to 75 MW through the PV effect.

• Facility substation: A shared central 132 kV substation. • Battery storage facility. • Underground cabling to connect the PV 4 facility to the onsite central substation. • Roads: Access roads for servicing and maintenance of the site. • Water storage. • Stormwater infrastructure. • Buildings: Buildings would likely include a connection building, control building, guard cabin,

an electrical substation and solar resource measuring substation.

Does the project form part of any of the Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIPs) as described in the National Development Plan, 2011?

YES NO����

If YES, please indicate which SIPs are applicable in Appendix 2. You are also required to provide confirmation of SIP applications from the relevant sector representative which must be attached in Appendix 2 Please indicate which sector the project falls under by crossing out the relevant block in the table below: Table 1

6. ACTIVITIES TO BE AUTHORISED For an application for authorisation that involves more than one listed activity that, together, make up one development proposal, all the listed activities pertaining to this application must be indicated.

Detailed description of listed activities associated with the project

Listed activity as described in GN R.544, 545 and 546

Description of project activity that triggers listed activity – if activities in GN R. 546 are triggered, indicate the triggering criteria as described in the second column of GN R. 543

e.g. GN R.544 Item XX(x): The construction of a bridge within 32m of a water course

e.g. A bridge measuring 5 m in height and 10m in length, no wider than 8 meters will be built over the Vaal river

GN No. R544, 18 June 2010

GN R544 Item 10 (i): The construction of facilities or infrastructure for the transmission and distribution of electricity:

(i) outside urban areas or industrial complexes with a capacity of more than 33 kV but less than 275 kV.

Onsite transmission lines, with a capacity that would likely exceed 33 kV, would be required to connect the proposed PV facility to the proposed onsite central 132 kV substation. The proposed facility is situated outside of the urban edge. This activity would therefore be triggered.

GN R544 Item 11 (iii); (vi); (x) and (xi): The construction of:

(iii) bridges; (vi) bulk storm water outlet structures; (x) buildings exceeding 50 square metres (m2) in size; (xi) infrastructure or structures covering 50 m2 or more where such construction occurs within a watercourse or within 32 m of a watercourse, measured from the edge of the watercourse.

From BGIS (2014) it appears that there are few wetlands and or drainage lines present onsite. However, this has not been ground truth and in reality more or less wetlands and or drainage lines might be present. An aquatic and storm water assessment would therefore be undertaken. If the proposed buildings and or infrastructure cover more than 50m2 and cross water bodies, then activities (x) and (xi) would be triggered. The storm water specialist might recommend the construction of bridges and or bulk storm water outlets to mitigate storm water runoff. Should this be the case, then Activity 11 (iii) and (vi) would trigger.

GN R544 Item 18 (i): The infilling or depositing of any material of more than 5 cubic metres (m3) into, or the dredging, excavation, removal or moving of soil, sand, shells, shell grit, pebbles or rock of more than 5 cubic metres from:

(i) a watercourse

Attenuation ponds may need to be constructed in order to manage storm water. Furthermore roads crossing drainage lines may require infilling or depositing of material.

GN R544 Item 22 (i); (ii): The construction of a road, outside urban areas,

(ii) where no reserve exists where the road is wider than 8metres.

Permanent roads outside the urban area may be required for the proposed PV. The width of the proposed roads and road reserves would be confirmed in the Scoping Phase.

GN R544 Activity No. 47

The widening of a road by more than 6 metres,

Existing roads may need to be widened to 8 metres

or more to accommodate construction traffic and/ or

9

or the lengthening of a road by more

than 1 kilometre -

(ii) where no reserve exists, where the existing

road is wider than 8 metres.

be used for the operation of the facility.

GN No. R545, 18 June 2010

GN R545 Item 1: The construction of facilities or infrastructure for the generation of electricity where the electricity output is 20 MW or more.

The proposed PV facility would have a generation capacity of 75 MW; as such this activity is triggered.

GN R545 Item 15: Physical alteration of undeveloped vacant or derelict land for residential retail, commercial, recreational, industrial or institutional use where the total area to be transformed is 20 ha or more.

The predominant farming activity of the site is assumed to be grazing. It is therefore assumed that this activity would be triggered as DEA has indicated that it considers grazing land to be ‘undeveloped’ land.

GN No. R546, 18 June 2010

GN R546 Item 14 (a)(i): The clearance of an area of 5 ha or more of vegetation where 75% or more of the vegetative cover constitutes indigenous vegetation:

(i) All areas outside urban areas.

The clearance of more than 5 ha of vegetation where 75 % or more of the vegetative cover constitutes indigenous vegetation outside urban areas will be required for the project. As such this activity will be triggered.

Please note that any authorisation that may result from this application will only cover activities specifically applied for. Co-ordinate points indicating the location of each listed activity must be provided with the relevant report (i.e. either BAR or EIR). Please provide a project map indicating any sensitive areas (e.g. critical biodiversity area, World Heritage Site, etc.) overlaid by the study area in Appendix 6. A project schedule, indicating the different phases and timelines of the project, must be attached as Appendix 7. 7. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Provide details of the public participation process proposed for the application as required by Regulation 54(2) of GN R. 543, dated June 2010.

• To ensure that the full range of Interested & Affected Parties (I&APs) including stakeholders, regulatory authorities, community leaders, landowners, neighbouring landowners, key Non-Government Organisations and civic associations, as well as general members of the public, are consulted at the applicable time and in the appropriate manner; and

• To ensure the communication of key information to registered I&APs, and to encourage feedback in the language of preference.

Authority Consultation: Authority consultation represents the first stage of the PPP. Representatives from the relevant national, provincial and local departments will be consulted during Scoping. The purpose of consultation with the authorities at this stage in the process is to ensure that the authorities are aware of and understand what is being proposed, and that Aurecon has a clear understanding of what the authorities will require. In addition to DEA, consultation with the following authorities is envisaged (additional authorities may be added once more information is obtained):

• Department of Agriculture; • Northern Cape Provincial Department of Environment and Nature Conservation (DENC);

10

• Eskom; • Department of Water and Sanitation; • Provincial and District Roads Departments; • Pixley ka Seme District Municipality; • SiyaThemba Local Municipality; • Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; • Northern Cape Transport, Roads and Public Works; • Department of Transport; • South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL); • Civil Aviation Authority (CAA); • South African Heritage Resources Agency; • Square Kilometer Array; • Department of Energy (Northern Cape): Regional Energy Director; • Northern Cape Provincial Heritage Resources Authority; • Other national/provincial departments where deemed necessary; and • Local government authorities.

Public Consultation during the Scoping Phase: The public will be notified of the availability of the Draft Scoping Report for a 30 day public comment period and of the opportunity to raise issues and concerns for inclusion in the investigation. Public consultation during the Scoping Phase would involve the following activities:

• Placement of poster/notices, at the entrance of the proposed site, and advertisements (to be placed in one local newspaper namely Die Gemsbok) to notify the public of the proposal and the availability of the Scoping Report for comment, and to invite them to register their interest such that they can raise any issues or concerns.

• Compiling an I&AP database (to be developed in consultation with the local authorities). This database will list all potential and registered I&APs and stakeholders including relevant authorities, the owners and occupiers of the property on which the development is proposed, all owners and occupiers of land adjacent to the site, the relevant municipality, the applicable Municipal Councillors and other representatives of the affected wards.

• Notify all I&APs on the database of the availability of the Draft Scoping Report in writing and provide them with a non-Technical Summary. The report will be made available for comment as follows:

• Hard copies will be lodged at the most central public library (i.e. the Prieska (Elizabeth Vermeulen) Public Library) and Nelspoortjie Guesthouse;

• Hard and digital copies will be circulated to relevant authorities; and

• Digital copies will be made available on the Aurecon Public Participation website (www.aurecongroup.com).

Registered I&APs and authorities will have 30 days (as required in terms of the amendments to the 2010 EIA Regulations, published in September 2014) in which to comment on the Draft Scoping Report. All relevant comments will be documented in a Comment and Responses Report (CRR), which will include copies of all of the submissions received, a summary of the issues raised, and the responses from the Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) and the Proponent. Where relevant, the Plan of Study for EIA will be revised to address particular issues and concerns, if required. The draft will be amended and finalised as necessary. The CRR will be included with the Final Scoping Report, which will be made available at the same locations as the drafts. All registered I&APs will be notified of the availability of the Final Scoping Report. Registered I&APs will have 21 days (as required in terms of the EIA Regulations) in which to comment on the Final Scoping Report. Any comments received from I&APs will be included in a CRR along with the responses from the project team. The CRR will be submitted to DEA for consideration.
