NOTICE REGARDING FINAL BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF A SEWERAGE NETWORK IN
PENHILL, KUILSRIVER, CAPE TOWN
The City of Cape Town proposes to install a sewerage network for waterborne sewage disposal in the residential area of Penhill,
which currently rely on conservancy tanks and vacuum tanker services for sewage disposal.
Ecosense has been appointed by the City of Cape Town as independent environmental consultants to undertake a basic assessment
process for the project, including public participation for environmental authorisation from the Department of Environmental Affairs
and Development Planning (DEADP).
The draft Basic Assessment report for the proposed project was available for comment at the end of last year and we subsequently
received a number of comments from residents, state departments, as well as the City’s various Service departments and
Environmental and Heritage Management Department.
The draft report and environmental management programme have been finalised to incorporate the comments received, as well as
to include details of public participation. A detailed comments and responses report have been included as Appendix F6 to the
report, which addresses the concerns received. The main changes to the report are a rewrite of the alternatives considered and an
inclusion of the various comments received on the draft report.
There is an opportunity for comment on the Final Basic Assessment Report for 21 days from Thursday 2 April 2015 to Friday 24 April
2015. The project reference number for the relevant project must accompany any correspondence and comments. A hard copy of
the report is available in the Eerste River Public Library at the c/o Bobs Way and Beverly Street, Eerste River. The document is also
available on our website at http://www.ecosense.co.za/downloads.html. Comments can be sent to Kozette Myburgh on
kozette@ecosense.co.za, or at the above address.
Stakeholders are reminded of the requirements in the Regulations that set timeframes are adhered to, and that you notify us of any
direct business, financial, personal or other interest that you may have in the approval or refusal of the application.
Your inputs are valuable and we thank you for your participation in this process.
Kind regards,
Kozette Myburgh
