Environmental aspect means the environmental characteristic/ element/ category that has the potential to be impacted upon. The environmental aspect is derived from environmental issues or concerns. Environmental Assessment Practitioner means the independent consultant who has expertise in the area of environmental concern being dealt with in the specific application and who must on behalf of the applicant, comply with the requirements of the EIA regulations (GN No R1183 of 5 September 1997, as amended) and who must have no financial or other interest in the undertaking of the activity, except with regard to the compliance with these regulations. Footprint means the total surface area of the activity/development. Listed activity means any activity as identified in GN No R1182 of 5 September 1997, as amended, in terms of section 21 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act No. 73 of 1989) (ECA), or any activity promulgated in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA), which may have a substantial detrimental effect on the environment and therefore requires prior written authorisation.

The property must be represented on a diagram held by the Surveyor General. Resource Conservation Measures means measures that have/will be taken to ensure that the environmental resources are being adequately managed, for example, water and energy conservation, waste minimisation and pollution prevention measures. Sensitive for the purposes of determining the administration fine, is defined in the Weightings per Variable per Index & Categorisation Table (Annexure C). Significance Rating referrers to a term used to evaluate how severe an impact would be, taking into account objective or scientific data as well as human values. A specific significance rating should not be confused with the acceptability of the impact (i.e. an impact of low significance is not automatically acceptable). Terms of Reference means the specific parameters within which the consultants/specialists are required to undertake the work for which they were appointed Impact Assessment Report in terms of Section 24G of the National Environmental Management Second Amendment Act, 2004 (Act No. 8 of 2004)SECTION 1: APPLICATION DETAILSActivity Applicant /Agent ofApplicant: (Please specify and attach copy of agency agreement if applicable)Contact person:Postal Address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Activity title:Departmental reference:Activity location:Co-ordinates:Latitude:..............SouthLongitude:..............EastMagisterial District:Name of Property:Farm/Erf name and numberSize of Property: (as per title deed)Closest City/Town:Distance (in km)Activity Consultant:Contact person:Postal Address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Fill in If applicableEnvironmental Assessment PractitionerContact person:Postal address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Fill in If applicablePlanning ConsultantContact person:Postal address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Is there a Terms of Reference?YesNoIf so, please attach a copy thereof to this impact assessment reportRegistered landowner/s:Contact person:Postal Address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Local authority/municipality:Contact person:Postal Address:Telephone:Cell:Email:Fax:Declaration :I hereby declare that I am fully aware of my responsibilities in terms of the EIA Regulations (Government Notice No R1183 of 5 September 1997, as amended) as well as Section 24G of NEMA, and that failure to comply with these requirements may constitute an offence in terms of Section 24F (2) of NEMA Applicant (Full names)______________________Date:________________ Place: _________________ Signature _________________________(duly authorised to sign on behalf of Applicant) Witness Full names)_____________________ Date:_________ Place:___________________ Signature__________________________ SECTION 2: ACTIVITY SCOPE & IMPACT DETAILS Please note that this section is sub-divided in 4 subsections viz: Subsection A: Details of the activity Subsection B: The receiving environment Subsection C: Identification of environmental impacts Subsection D: Infrastructural Services and capacity Please provide the following: A Locality Plan, which clearly shows the site in relation to the surrounding area.

COMMENCEMENT OR CONTINUATION OF ACTIVITIES IDENTIFIED IN TERMS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS FEBRUARY 2006 This Department requires the proponent applying for rectification to place an advertisement in a local or regional newspaper for one day. The wording for such an advertisement follows although alterations to format to improve readability are acceptable. The advertisement must allow thirty (30) days for interested and affected parties to comment and to submit objections in this regard.

A site notice, A2 (594 x 420 mm) or larger in size with the same conditions must also be erected. This notice must be displayed prominently on the site and must be protected from the weather such that the notice is clearly visible for the entire public participation period. Positioning of the notice must be in accordance with the relevant Local Authoritys by-laws. Please note that in order to ensure and promote transparency: The news paper advertisement must NOT be placed on a Public or School Holiday. The thirty days excludes school holidays but include normal weekends and public holidays. The activity applied for must be written inline with the activity as listed in terms of the Environmental impact Assessment Regulations i.e.: The change of land-use of (property name) in terms of sub-regulation 2(c) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations from Agriculture to Residential for the development of 100 cluster homes; The change of land-use of (property name) in terms of sub-regulation 2(e) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations from Open Space to Industrial for the development of 2 warehouses; The upgrading of an existing cellular monopole on (property name and location) by the addition of 3 cellular antennae and an additional base station in terms of sub-regulation 1(g) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations; The construction of a filling station on (property name and location) in terms of sub-regulation 1(c) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations; The Department will not consider proof of adverts submitted before the 30 day period has lapsed.
