1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background and Locality

The proposed development consists of the construction of a petrol filling station, convenience store and truck stop on the Remainder of Farm Thandisizwe 16691.

The requirement for a Basic Assessment Process stems from the six (6) USTsthat will be located on site:

2 x 23m3 for ULP 95;

2 x 23m3 tanks for Diesel; and,

2 x 23m3 tanks for low Sulphur Diesel.

The site is zoned as Commercial Agriculture however the following must be noted:

Potions of the property have been historically transformed, as a result of the transformation

and existing business practices on the property, the uMshwathi Local Municipality’s

valuation roll (2016) confirms that the rates being charged on the property is not for

commercial agriculture but for Rural Industrial.1 . The total property size is 245.8ha. The land

development area will transform approximately 0.6% (1.54ha) of the farm to accommodate

this development. Alternative layout options have previously been examined as per Section

8 of the Final Basic AssessmentReport.

Access to the site will be via the D173. Both access points will be utilised for the development. Movement within the development will be via one-way traffic i.e. one entrance point to the site only and one exit point for the site only along the D173. The D173 is currently a gravel access road. Approximately 200m of the D173 will be upgraded from gravel to asphalt surfacing with associated infrastructure within the existing footprint.

As per the Services Report (Appendix 5.7):

Existing services: o Roads

The surrounding road network comprises of the R33 (P6) and D173 which falls under the jurisdiction of SANRAL and the KZN Department of Transport respectively. The R33 consists of an asphalt surface, 3 lanes and is 12m wide. The D173 is a gravel surface road consisting of one lane in each direction and is 7m wide.

o Water

Water is currently supplied by Umgeni Water and will continue to be supplied by Umgeni Water during the operation. The Contractor is to ensure a licensed Municipal supply of water is utilised during the construction phase of the proposed project.

o Sanitation

As the land is vacant, no sanitation services are currently linked to the site. o Stormwater

As the site is vacant, no stormwater infrastructure or management has been implemented on site to date.

o Electricity

Existing electrical supply via Eskom lines is available on site. Proposed services:

o Roads

The internal surfaces of the development will be hardened and a portion of the D173 (approximately 200m) will be upgraded from a gravel to an asphalt surface with

1 General-Valuation-Roll-2017.pdf (umshwathi.gov.za)

Page 7: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

Final Environmental Management Programme

Page | 7

associated stormwater drainage on the provision of approval from the KZN Department of Transport.

o Sewer

A septic tank and soak away system is not considered feasible as per the Engineering Services Report and therefore a conservancy tank for the temporary storage and management of domestic effluent has been investigated within this report. This will be regularly serviced by honey suckers until a Municipal connection is available.

o Stormwater Management:

An attenuation pond (10m x 5m x 1.5m deep (75m3)) will be utilised to ensure that the stormwater run-off from the proposed development does not exceed the predevelopment flow rate of the site. A maximum outflow pipe size of 150mm diameter will be installed to drain the attenuation pond into the adjacent drainage line.

Construction Access Routes:

Access via the D173 will be utilised for the construction period.

The proposed activity is located within Ward 10 of the uMshwathi Local Municipality. The 21-digit

Surveyor General (SG) code for the cadastral land parcel, as well as property details and

coordinates, are detailed in the table below.

2.2 National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998)

The National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) is a ‘principles-based Act’ and is an

overarching statute regulating various aspects of natural resource use, integrated environmental

management and pollution control. The Act provides for sustainable development, environmental

protection, equitable distribution of natural resources and the formulation of environmental

management frameworks. The definition of the environment includes the land and water of the earth,

micro-organisms, plant and animal life or a combination of those things, and the inter relationships

among them.

The Act aims to provide for co-operative environmental governance by establishing principles for

decision-making on matters affecting the environment, institutions that will promote co-operative

governance, and procedures for co-ordinating environmental functions exercised by Organs of State.

Section 24 provides for the prohibition, restriction and control of activities which are likely to have a

detrimental effect on the environment.

NEMA contains a set of principles that govern environmental management, and against which all

environmental management plans and actions are measured. Sustainable development requires the

consideration of all relevant factors including the following:

Environmental management must place people and their needs at the forefront of its concern,

and serve their physical, psychological, developmental, cultural and social interests equitably;

That the disturbance of ecosystems and loss of biological diversity are avoided, or where they

cannot be altogether avoided, are minimized and remedied;

That pollution and degradation of the environment are avoided, or, where unavoidable, are

minimised and remedied;

That waste is avoided, or where unavoidable is minimised and reused or recycled where

possible and/or disposed of in a responsible manner;

That a risk-adverse and cautious approach is applied, which takes into account the limits of

current knowledge about the consequences of decisions or actions;

That negative impacts on the environment and on people’s environmental rights be anticipated

and prevented, and where they cannot be altogether prevented, are minimized and remedied;

The right of workers to refuse work that is harmful to human health or the environment and to

be informed of dangers must be respected and protected;

The role of women and youth in environmental management and development must be

recognised and their full participation therein must be promoted;

Responsibility for the environmental health and safety consequences of a policy, programme,

project, product, process, service or activity exists throughout its life cycle;

The participation of interested and affected parties in environmental governance must be

promoted, and people must have the opportunity to develop the understanding, skills and

capacity necessary for achieving equitable and effective participation;

The participation by vulnerable and disadvantaged persons must be ensured;

Decisions must take into account the interests, needs and values of all Interested and Affected

Parties (IAP), and this includes recognising all forms of knowledge, including traditional and

ordinary knowledge;

Page 12: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

Final Environmental Management Programme

Page | 12 Terratest (Pty) Ltd

That the cost of remedying pollution, environmental degradation and consequent adverse

health effects and of preventing, controlling or minimizing further pollution, environmental

damage or adverse health effects must be paid for by those responsible for harming the

environment;

Community well-being and empowerment must be promoted through environmental education,

the raising of environmental awareness, the sharing of knowledge and experience and other

appropriate means; and

Decisions must be taken in an open and transparent manner, and access to information must

be provided in accordance with the law.

This Final EMPr has been compiled as an Appendix of a Basic Assessment Report.

2.3 National Water Act, 1998 (Act 36 of 1998) (NWA)

The NWA makes provision for the protection of surface water and groundwater resources and their

and understood the contents of the document. If necessary, the Environmental Control Officer (ECO)

(if applicable) can conduct a training session with senior personnel regarding the implementation of

the EMPr during the Operational Phase. Senior staff will be required to educate their operational

staff as to the contents of this document and how to remain compliant. All times, a copy of this

document is to be kept on-site.

3.2 Roles and Responsibilities

The implementation of this EMP requires the involvement of several stakeholders, each fulfilling a

different, but vital role, to ensure sound environmental management during the Construction and

Operational Phases. These stakeholders are discussed below.

3.1.1 Provincial Department of Economic Development, Tourism & Environmental Affairs

(EDTEA)

The EDTEA is the designated authority responsible for authorising the EMP related to the

development. The EDTEA has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Applicant complies with the

conditions of this EMP.

3.1.2 Saphire West Investments

Under South African environmental legislation, the Applicant is accountable for the potential impacts

of the activities that are undertaken and is responsible for managing these impacts. Saphire West

Investments, as the Applicant, therefore has overall environmental responsibility to ensure that the

implementation of this EMPr complies with the relevant legislation and the conditions of this EMPr.

The Applicant will appoint a Contractor to undertake the construction and operation of the proposed

development, but will still ultimately be responsible for any environmental impacts.

3.1.3 Employer's Representative (ER)

The appointed Civil and Consulting Engineers as the Employer’s Representative (ER), would act as

the Employer’s on-site implementing agent, together with the appointed Contractors during the

Construction and Operational Phases. The ER will have the responsibility to ensure that the

Employer’s responsibilities are executed in compliance with the relevant legislation and this EMPr.

In addition to general project management, the ER, together with the Applicant, has the

responsibility to appoint the Environmental Control Officer (ECO). Any on-site decisions regarding

environmental management, however, are ultimately the responsibility of the ER.

Method Statements must be submitted at least 20 working days prior to the date on which approval

is required to the ER. The ER must in turn accept or reject the Method Statement within 10 working

days of receipt.

Failure to submit a Method Statement may result in suspension of the activity concerned until such

time as a Method Statement has been submitted and approved.

An approved Method Statement shall not absolve the Contractor from any of his obligations or

responsibilities in terms of the contract. However, any damage caused to the environment through

activities undertaken without an approved Method Statement shall be rehabilitated at the

Contractor’s expense.

The Method Statements shall cover relevant details with regard to:

Construction procedures and location of the construction camp;

4. ENFORCING THE EMPr

The Authorisation Holder, or their designated representative/s, have an overall responsibility to

ensure that employees are aware of and familiar with the service station’s environmental

requirements. The EMPr shall be part of the terms of reference for all contractors, sub-contractors

and suppliers, as required. All contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers have to give some

assurance that they understand the EMPr and that they will undertake to comply with the conditions

therein should any works be conducted.

All senior and supervisory staff members shall familiarise themselves with the full contents of the

EMPr. They shall know and understand the specifications of the EMPr and shall be able to assist

other staff members in matters relating to the implementation of the EMPr.

All parties involved in the project must sign an acknowledgement that they are familiar with the

requirements of the EMPr. These records must be kept on file by the Applicant. Appendix A provides

an example of an EMPr Acknowledgement Form.

Any area outside the assessed footprint is considered a no-go area. Should the contractor wish to

establish an access road, site camp and material storage area outside the assessed site footprint,

authorisation from the ECO and ER will be required to ensure there is minimal risk to the environment

and to ensure no further authorisations or amendments would be required.

It is imperative to note that all recommendations with the Specialist Assessments Associated

with this project are adhered to. All recommendations by Specialists has been included as

Appendix B. The Contractor and Authorisation Holder is required to familiarize themselves

with these recommendations first and foremost during all phases of the project.

8. NON-COMPLIANCE

The Licence Holder and his representatives shall comply with the environmental specifications and

requirements on an on-going basis. Failure to do so could relate in penalties being imposed by the

EDTEA, at their own discretion.

In the event of non-compliance the following recommended process can be followed:

The ER shall issue a Notice of Non-compliance to the Contractor, stating the nature and

magnitude of the contravention. A copy shall be provided to the ECO during his / her site audit;

The Contractor shall act to correct the non-conformance within 24 hours of receipt of the notice,

or within a period that may be specified within the notice;

The Contractor shall provide the ER with a written statement describing the actions to be taken to

discontinue the non-conformance, the actions taken to mitigate its effects and the expected

results of the actions. A copy shall be provided to the ECO;

In the case of the Contractor failing to remedy the situation within the predetermined time frame,

the ER shall impose a monetary penalty based on the conditions of contract;

In the case of non-compliance giving rise to physical environmental damage or destruction, the

ER shall be entitled to undertake or to cause to be undertaken such remedial works as may be

required to make good such damage and to recover from the Contractor the full costs incurred in

doing so; and

In the event of a dispute or difference of opinion between any parties arising out of the

interpretation of the conditions of the EMPr, or a disagreement regarding the implementation or

method of implementation of conditions of the EMPr, any party shall be entitled to require that the

issue be referred to specialists for arbitration.

The ER shall at all times have the right to stop work and/or certain activities on site in the case of non-

compliance or failure to implement remediation measures.

9. ALIEN VEGETATION REMOVAL AND REHABILITATION PLAN

The Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (CARA, Act 43 of 1983) stipulates the species (a

current total of 198) that are considered alien invaders and classifies them according to three

categories:

Category 1: Plant species that may not be grown and must be eradicated.

Category 2: Plant species with commercial or utility value that may only be grown with a permit

under controlled circumstances.

Category 3: Plant species that have amenity value and that may be grown, but not planted,

propagated, imported or traded.

Amended Regulation 15 of the CARA stipulates that Category 1 plants (Declared Weeds) will no

longer be tolerated in South Africa and must be removed. Bugweed (Solanum mauritianum) and

Indian Shot (Canna indica) are both examples of Category 1 species in terms of the CARA. If these

species are not controlled, they will multiply and become established over a greater area. This can

lead to the displacement of indigenous plant species in the surrounding area. Gum trees (Eucalyptus

sp.) are an example of a Category 2 species in terms of the CARA. Should any of these species occur

on the site, they are to be removed.

It should be noted that the CARA regulations for the legal obligations regarding alien invasive plants

in South Africa have been superseded by the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act,

2004 (Act no. 10 of 2004) – Alien and Invasive Species (AIS) Regulations which was promulgated on

1 October 2014. However, CARA has not been repealed and is still included as a reference point to

Page 42: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

Final Environmental Management Programme

Page | 42 Terratest (Pty) Ltd

use in terms of the management of AIS where certain species may not be included in the NEM:BA

AIS list (2016) made in terms of the above Regulations.

An Alien Invasive Plant (AIP) Monitoring and Control Plan is attached as Appendix C of this

document, providing greater detail on the importance, monitoring and control requirements of an

effective plan.

10. CONCLUSION

In terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998) (NEMA), everyone is

required to take reasonable measures to ensure that they do not pollute the environment. Reasonable

measures include informing and educating employees about the environmental risks of their work and

training them to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. Furthermore, in terms of NEMA,

the cost to repair any environmental damage shall be borne by the person responsible for the

damage.

If the above-mentioned management recommendations are adopted, it is anticipated that most of the

negative environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed Petrol

Filling Station, Pietermaritzburg, can be mitigated against. The appointed ECO will need to regularly

monitor the site to ensure that the required environmental controls are in place and working

effectively.

9.4 Discussion of the Impacts on the Stream and the Mitigatory Measures

The foreseen potential impacts on the stream have been considered and assessed. The finding was

that the possible impacts are generally minor and of low consequence. Standard construction and

operational mitigatory measures will reduce the risk levels satisfactorily. However, the threat posed by

possible spillage or leakage of fuels or oils into the stream is considered to be much greater and special

mitigatory recommendations are put forward, and it is critical that they are monitored and sustained.

The possibility of a buffer on the stream was considered but the project boundary is too far from the

system for any meaningful measures to be considered. The option was therefore discarded. It is,

however, strongly recommended that the area between the access road and the stream be kept free

of any construction-related activities or facilities.

The mitigatory measures are discussed in further detail below.

Construction Phase

Impacts arising from sediment entering the stream channel. The cutting of platforms for buildings as

well as the preparation of the parking areas, ancillary roads and other infrastructure, will obviously

require earthworks and will inevitably result in some downhill sediment movement. Even though the

vegetation downslope of the sites does provide some groundcover, and gradients are low, measures

should be taken to avoid further introductions. These measures include the following:

A stormwater control plan must be designed by an appropriate engineer and it must be implemented

at a very early stage of the project;

Where appropriate, silt traps and silt curtains must be used;

The bottom boundary of the construction area must be demarcated by means of a hazard tape fence

along the eastern edge of the road. No soil may be spoiled or stockpiled outside of the demarcated

area;

Care should be taken when handling soil, to ensure that material that is being moved is placed in its

final location as soon as possible and that it is stabilised there; and

Areas which may be going to remain unbuilt must be covered with topsoil gathered from the site and

be revegetated with indigenous grasses.

Impacts arising from spillage of fuels and oils from vehicles and machinery used in the construction

phase. Hydrocarbon pollution of the stream is to be avoided at all costs.

All vehicles and plant used on the site must be inspected daily for fuel and oil leaks and, if any are

found, must be removed from the site immediately to the construction camp for repairs;

Any contaminated soil must be lifted and then be held in sealed drums prior to being disposed of at an

appropriate waste disposal site;

Refuelling and oil top-ups may only be done on site if a drip tray is placed under the vehicle or plant to

catch any spillage.

Page 47: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

Page 29

No fuels or oils may be stored in bulk on the site. All containers must be bunded to 110% of their

capacity.

Impacts arising from solid and liquid wastes, including workshop wastes such as oily rags, and human

wastes, spilled in the construction area and being transported into the stream.

Containers must be provided for litter and other solid wastes. These containers must be emptied

regularly and the waste be taken to an approved site for disposal; and

The workers must have chemical toilets provided for their use. One toilet per 20 labourers is

recommended. The toilets must be regularly serviced by an approved specialist company.

Operational Phase

Impacts arising from solid waste being washed into the stream from the working area. This impact is

linked to the operational phase of the project. Although there is already waste matter in the stream, the

presence of more people closer to the stream suggests that the litter load will increase.

The management of this potential issue hinges on service delivery in the form of a garbage collection

service.

Impacts arising from leakage of hydrocarbons such as fuels from bulk storage tanks and reaching the

stream.

This risk must be avoided through good design and construction, and through proper inspection and

management as required by petrol company principles and norms.

A clean-up kit of adequate capacity must be kept at the site at all times.

Impacts arising from hydrocarbons such as fuels, oils, and bitumen from the refuelling and parking

areas entering the aquatic environment in stormwater flows.

All stormwater flows and as well as washings from the service forecourt and the parking areas must be

passed through a series of oil traps and retention ponds.

The oil traps must be cleaned regularly and the ponds be inspected for traces of oily residues which

would indicate that the traps are not functioning properly. If this is the case then corrective measures

must be applied.

Impacts arising from leakage of waste water and sewage from the conservancy tank or tanks.

Since the use of a conservancy tank or tanks has been recommended because of ground water and

geotechnical conditions at the site, regular inspections and checks for leakage must be undertaken.

Provision for such inspections must be made in the design and construction of the tank(s).

The conservancy tank(s) must be emptied regularly, and the content be disposed of at an approved

site.

Impacts arising from solid wastes and garbage from the management areas, and from the refuelling

and parking areas.

Page 48: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

Page 30

The entire site must be kept neat and tidy through daily sweeping and cleaning. Ideally wastes, such

as paper towels and workshop rags, which include hydrocarbons will be kept separate and be disposed

of at an appropriate site

Waste storage containers must be of adequate capacity and must be emptied timeously. The waste

must go to an approved disposal site.

9.5 Monitoring measures

The implementation of the management and mitigation measures put forward must be part of the

monitoring brief of the Environmental Control Officer (ECO) who will be appointed for the construction

phase of the project. As such, these management and mitigation measures must be included in the

Environmental Management Programme (EMPR) for the construction of the project.

The audits are to be conducted in accordance with Regulations 34 and 35 of the 2014 EIA Regulations,

which respectively pertain to the auditing of compliance with the EMPr, and where necessary, the

amendment of the EMPr as a result of an audit. The audit report is to be compiled in accordance with

Appendix 7 of the NEMA: EIA Regulations of 2014 which refers to the contents of the environmental

audit reports.

Prior to the start of construction, the ECO must become familiar with the site and with the various

impacts and the associated mitigatory measures outlined above. At the start of site establishment,

monitoring visits should be done on a weekly basis, but this interval may be reduced to a monthly basis

once routine construction is under way.

It is recommended that the monitoring should continue into the operational phase of the project but at

intervals of six months to a year.

10. CONCLUSION The site proposed for the construction of a fuel filling station and truck stop on the property Farm

Thandesizwe 16691 in the Mshwati Local Municipality has been investigated. It was found that the area

is already substantially transformed from the natural state and hence that terrestrial biodiversity was in

a very poor condition. There are no wetlands within the site or near it, but the stream which passes by

the area could be at risk unless protective and mitigatory measures are carried out. The geotechnical

survey found that conditions are unsuitable for local disposal of liquid wastes, and hence that a

conservancy tank or tanks should be used. Recommendations in the regard are put forward. If they are

properly implemented it is the opinion of the specialist that the project will not result in further

degradation of the watercourse as a consequence of the construction activities. Findings of the Risk

Assessment Matrix (DWS, 2016) classify the proposed project as being “Low Risk” in most instances

or “Moderate Risk” where possible pollution from fuels and oils are considered. In situ mitigation for the

risks is possible and hence no fatal flaws to the project are noted. Therefore, there is no need to refuse

the project on environmental grounds. There will be some operational phase risks relating primarily to

solid waste dispersal, to the possibility of failure of the waste water system, and to the possibility of

leakage from the bulk fuel tanks. These risks will always be present. Their reduction is not related in

Page 49: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

any way to the construction phase of the project but is linked to operating procedures and controls.

Recommendations in regard to monitoring procedures have been put forward.

13. RECOMMENDATIONS

The recommendations made at this stage aim to provide an understanding of

geohydrological parameters and development potential therefore providing a better

projection of available resources and the set up for a management system to control

production.

The geohydrological impacts of the proposed Filling Station and associated facilities are

medium without mitigation. When including mitigation, these impacts are reduced to

low. As such, the mitigation indicated within Section 11 should form part of the

Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) to reduce the impact of the site on the

groundwater environment.

The proposed activity (development of a filling station) should consequently be authorised

with regards to the geohydrological environment inclusive of the recommended

mitigation measures presented in Table P, Q, & R.

The proposed surface water or groundwater monitoring requirement for the EMPr or

environmental authorisation is indicated on Figure 8 attached as Appendix A and relates

to the limited potential for surface water impacts from the site on the nearby river or

groundwater impacts to the underlying aquifer, particularly upon completion of the

construction phase (i.e. during the operational phase) when impact is most likely if

undetected on site. Refer to recommendations below:

Monitoring Requirements

To detect any changes in the aquifer system, as well as potential pollution derived directly or

indirectly from the proposed development, monitoring of water levels and flow rates, water

quality and trends, is imperative.

Water Level Monitoring:

The monitoring of the abstraction rates and drawdown levels of the groundwater is of

paramount importance should long term exposure to potential hydrocarbon contamination

and /or exploitation of the secondary aquifers be considered.

In our opinion, some existing boreholes are found in reasonable proximity of the proposed

site and can be used for monitoring purposes. However three (3) additional monitoring

boreholes are required.

The following measures are recommended:

The new boreholes’ static water level should be monitored quarterly to confirm hydraulic

parameters, seasonal fluctuations and sustainability.

Shallow monitoring wells must be installed around the storage tanks to ensure any

potential leakage from the lagoon is detected in time. These wells must be of uPVC or

HDPE material and have an internal diameter of at least 50mm. It is recommended that a

minimum of one up gradient and two down gradient wells be installed. The depth of the

well must be at least 2m below the depth of the storage tank.

Page 52: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

LL3570: R33 SERVICE STATION GEOHYDROLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT INVESTIGATION – JUNE 2020 – ENGEOLAB (PTY) Ltd

36

Piezometers must be installed in all wells and water level monitoring carried out and

recorded either manually or with data loggers.

Water Quality Monitoring

The existing boreholes and monitoring wells should be sampled regularly in terms of

water quality (SANS 241) guidelines for domestic use.

Initially, quarterly groundwater quality monitoring of production wells and monitoring

wells is recommended.

A proper groundwater quality monitoring program must be implemented as soon as

possible, where initial sampling and analysis should allow for all major chemical, physical,

hydrocarbon and bacteriological constituents as per (SANS 241). Follow-up sampling

could monitor elements in excess only as well as for traces of hydrocarbon

contamination.

Where water is supplied for human consumption, guidelines in terms of a water service

provider should be adhered to.

An early warning system must be considered for placement within the monitoring wells

or beneath the storage tanks.

Wellheads on boreholes down gradient of the proposed facility must be constructed to

prevent any ingress of surface water either from a spill or flooding.

General Management Requirements

The hydrochemical and water level values obtained from the new data sets should be

instituted as the “starting” status.

Precautions should be taken to ensure that surface run-off, potential leaks or spills do not

flow into any of the existing or monitoring boreholes and for this purpose we propose a

concrete apron around each borehole casing and inside the pump house structure.

No major lowering of the water table should take place through increased groundwater

abstraction as that could increase the hydraulic gradient and therefore accelerate

pollutant transport times.

The monitoring data should be reviewed by a hydrogeologist to establish performance

and water quality trends.

Preventative Requirements

Occasional or uncontrolled discharge of contaminants on the site could have a marked influence

on recharge, especially in the top unsaturated clayey residuum and shallow weathered bedrock

zones.

The current neutral, unpolluted hydrochemical characteristics can be impacted by increased or

uncontrolled contaminant handling or other processes associated with the proposed

development. Management and discharge of treated effluent water together with sufficient

waste spill control measures should, in our opinion maintain the unpolluted, ‘stable’ aquifer

vulnerability status and ensure a minimal risk of groundwater pollution provided that:

construction of the new facilities does not change the nature of the “protective” clayey

overburden to such a degree (more permeable) that fast infiltration becomes possible

resulting in increased pollutant transport times.

37

The base of the fuel tank excavations should be flat and free from rocks and other foreign

objects and covered by 150mm thick backfill of acceptable quality, compacted to

specification with the correct backfill material and prepared using accepted construction

practices to ensure stability of underground tanks.

To lower the potential for leachate formation, domestic waste should be placed in a

water tight container and disposed of on a regular basis.

Precautions should be taken to ensure that surface run-off, potential leaks or spills do not

flow into the sewer system without first passing through a simple gravity separator /

settlement pond or similar protective installation.

Submersible pumps should be fitted with leak detectors that check the integrity of the

pipework.

The drive way areas around the dispensers/pumps where spillage may occur during

refuelling should be graded to allow effluent to first pass through a gravity separator.

8.7 Seismic activity

According to Kijko et. al (2003), the peak ground acceleration for the area is less than

0,10 m/s2, with a 10% probability of being exceeded in a 50-year period. The seismic

activity in the area is therefore moderate.

8.8 Areas subject to flooding

A flood line study falls outside of our scope of work, however the drainage line/stream is

located some 75m away from the North Eastern boundary of the site. Therefore proper

draining of surface water would need consideration. A flood line study should be

conducted if deemed necessary.

9 Geotechnical Recommendations

9.1 Fill and trenches

All trenches and excavations must be properly backfilled and compacted in 150 mm thick

layers and compacted to 95% of modified AASHTO density.

9.2 Drainage measures

No accumulation of surface water is permitted and the entire development must be

properly drained.

Control of both surface and potential subsoil seepage is essential on this site to protect

the proposed road layer works against the ingress of water. Control of surface drainage

should be by means of the installed surface drains

Page 56: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

9.3 Cuts

The site is relatively flat with minor cuts anticipated, however where large cuts are to be

made, an assessment of the stability of the cuts may be required. A competent

geotechnical engineer should assess the stability of the cuts as well as design lateral

support if needed.

9.4 Pavement considerations

The underlain material is of G7 and less than G10 quality, it is suggested that where the

material is of quality less that G10, the in-situ strength is unsuitable for subgrade

material and competent material must be introduced with a minimum quality of a G6 or

better material. No borrow pit was included in the investigation. The G7 is suitable for

the construction of an engineered fill of selected sub-grade layer material and in

moderate stiffness of engineered fills.

10 Recommended Development

10.1 Site Suitability and Development Criteria

The investigation indicated that the site is suitable for the proposed service development

provided that certain design considerations, as mentioned hereafter, are adhered to.

10.2 Geotechnical Site Classification

The evaluation of the foundation soils and subsequent classification of the site into

foundation classes has been carried along the guidelines as proposed by Watermayer

and Tromp (1992) and the Structural Division of the SAICE as prescribed by the

NHBRC. Based on the geology, soil profiles and laboratory testing carried out on

samples recovered from site during investigation; the site has been classified as S1/R.

Page 57: Final Environmental Management Programme Rev 1

11 Conclusion and Recommendations

No adverse conditions prohibiting the construction of structures were encountered at the

site. We recommend that the proposed service station development proceed subject to the

following condition:

The structures & foundations must be designed by an Engineer taking cognisance

of the recommendations contained herein.

11.1 Foundations

The proposed development will include light structures and filling station. Such

structures have low loads anticipated and they will not exceed 100kPa. It is therefore

recommended that the propose structures are founded on strip foundations, these

foundations should rest on competent founding materials or underlain shale bedrock.

The footings should be constructed to structural engineer’s specification.

Founding alternatives for lightly loaded single and double-storey structures include the

following:

It is recommended that the underground fuel tank be positioned on the far South West

side of the site.

The results from investigation reveal that the soft material ranges about 0.50 to about

1.00m and 3.00m below the natural ground, it is thus recommended that the deeper

excavation through the transported and residual material are excavated using a 20 ton

excavator to a depth of about 1.00m to 3.00m. The excavation is considered to be

intermediate becoming hard on reaching the underlying shale bedrock, much bigger and

stronger equipment is used. Blasting might be needed as well to install the tanks

properly.

APPENDIX C: MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND SPILL CONTINGENCY PLAN

General Materials / Plant Management and Spill Contingency Plan

Where concrete, bitumen, petrochemicals or any other hazardous substances are spilled, clean-up and

rehabilitation must be executed as a matter of urgency. Should concrete mixing be required, it must be

undertaken in a controlled environment and on a suitable surface to avoid the contamination of the soil

surrounding the area where the concrete is to be used. Any spillage or concrete that has leaked off the

designated mixing areas needs to be collected and disposed of at a registered landfill site or re-used in

construction. Waybills for safe disposal at registered landfill sites must be provided on request to the

Environmental Control Officer (ECO), if applicable.

Absorbent materials and containers (i.e. spill kits) must be kept on site at all times whether chemicals are

stored on site or transported to the site daily, all vehicles which transport chemicals to and from the site

must be equipped with appropriate spill kits and drip trays.

Any chemical spills onto soil must be reported by site staff to the Operational Manager and ECO (if

applicable). The Operational Manager must evaluate the extent of spill and must report the spill to the

Department of Economic, Development, Tourism & Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) and Department of

Water and Sanitation if it is regarded as significant. Monitoring and / or rehabilitation of impacted soils

and / or groundwater may be required depending on authority requirements. The Authorisation Holder is

responsible for the cost of monitoring and / or rehabilitation of any soils / groundwater impacted on by

chemical spills.

All site staff are to be advised to implement the following protocol should a spillage occur:

Should any chemical / hazardous substance spillages occur the following general steps must be followed:

1. Stop the source of the spill;

2. Contain the spill;

3. Report the spill to the Operational Manager. Note that all significant spills must be reported by

the Operational Manager to the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) and the Department

of Economic, Development, Tourism & Environmental Affairs (EDTEA).

4. In the case of a minor spillage, clean the affected area and drum all contaminated material for

temporary storage until the waste can be collected and disposed of by a registered hazardous

waste disposal contractor. In the case of a significant spillage, the EDTEA and DWS will advise

on appropriate emergency action protocol to be followed for the type of spillage;

5. If deemed necessary by the EDTEA or DWS, remedial follow-up action must be taken; and

6. All spillages / incidents and remedial actions taken must be documented by the Operational

Manager and kept on file for reference purposes.

The above protocol must be relayed to site staff.
