1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) developed the SEZ policy to support and accelerate industrial development in targeted regions where socio-economic growth has been problematic. This would be achieved by the provision of special measures needed to develop targeted industrial and agricultural capabilities and attract targeted foreign and domestic direct investment. The SEZ policy has four (4) specific objectives:

— Support the development of targeted industrial capabilities and attract foreign and domestic direct investments in support of the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) and Provincial Industrial Development Strategies (PIDS’s), under the over-arching National Development Plan (NDP);

— Develop world-class industrial infrastructure in line with the requirements of the targeted industries and investments;

— Promote beneficiation and further value addition of the country’s mineral and agricultural resources; and

— Contribute to the creation of sustainable jobs and increase exports of beneficiated commodities in the targeted regions.

The Wild Coast Special Economic Zone (WCSEZ) is intended to address the under-development of industry and agriculture in the Wild Coast region, the elevated unemployment levels, particularly among the youth, and unacceptable high levels of poverty.

The viability of the proposed WCSEZ will depend on the suggested approach, which will be phased.

1) Phase 1 – mainly Sector development cluster (Agro-processing Sector) housing facilities to unlock the primary sector with the hub near Mthatha Airport.

2) Phase 2 – Services Sector that will focus on the support industries for Agro-processing. This could include Logistics and Distribution, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Call Centres and others. Further investigations need to be done to enhance the value proposition and viability of this Sector. This second Phase will also contain value added support infrastructure such as accommodation, skills and training centre, a commercial node and innovation and industrial services nodes.

It is envisioned that increased commercial activity in the area will assist in the development of the tourism sector.

The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) is a state-owned enterprise (SoE) based in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality with operations throughout South Africa. The CDC is mandated to develop and operate the 11 500 ha Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ), which was established in 1999. To this end, the CDC is tasked with the responsibility to create employment, provide training and development, and Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMME) support and development opportunities, in order to reduce unemployment, inequalities, and to eradicate poverty in the Eastern Cape (EC), with a focus on Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, in particular. Therefore, the CDC’s vision is to be the leading catalyst for the championing of socio-economic growth. Its mission is to provide a competitive investment location supported by value added business services that effectively enables socio-economic development in the EC and the rest of South Africa. In the 17 years since its establishment, the CDC has become South Africa’s most successful IDZ and has matured to become one of the biggest drivers of job creation and development of the EC economy. It is purpose-designed following the cluster model, which strategically positions related and synergistic industries and their supply chains in close proximity to one another in order to maximise efficiency and minimize turnaround times. The Coega IDZ is demarcated into 14 zones, with the focus being placed on the following sectors:

— Metals/Metallurgical;

— Automotive;

— BPO;

— Chemicals;

— Agro-processing;

— Logistics;


WSP August 2018

Page 2

— Trade Solutions;

— Energy; and

— Maritime.

The CDC strives to improve the delivery of infrastructure in the EC by addressing skill shortages, unemployment, constrained planning and project management capacity, under-expenditure, sub-standard infrastructure, and inefficiencies that characterise delivery of infrastructure by government in South Africa generally and the EC in particular. In the process, the CDC advances socio-economic development and transformation within the EC and South Africa as a whole.

The proposed project site for the WCSEZ is directly adjacent to the Mthatha Airport, with boundaries at both the north and the south of the airport as shown in Figure 1-1 below. The site is north of the R61 and to the south of the Mtata Dam.

1.2 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Public participation is understood to be a series of inclusive and culturally appropriate interactions aimed at providing stakeholders with opportunities to express their views, so that these can be considered and incorporated into the decision-making process. Effective public participation requires the prior disclosure of relevant and adequate project information to enable stakeholders to understand the risks, impacts, and opportunities of the Proposed Project.

Basic reasons why we involve public in the EIA:

— The environment is held in public trust, therefore use of environmental resources is everyone's concern.


WSP August 2018

Page 3

— Public participation is proper, fair conduct in public decision-making activities. Focus on vulnerable and disadvantaged person and offer equitable participation due to historical issues.

— A way to ensure that projects meet the citizens' needs and are suitable to the affected public.

— The project carries more legitimacy, and less hostility, if IAPs are able to influence the decision-making process.

— Finally, the final decision is informed when local knowledge and values are included and when expert knowledge is publicly examined.

1.2.1 OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the public participation process can be summarised as follows:

— Identify relevant individuals, organisations and communities who may be interested in or affected by the Proposed Project;

— Clearly outline the scope of the Proposed Project, including the scale and nature of the existing and proposed activities;

— Identify viable Proposed Project alternatives that will assist the relevant authorities in making an informed decision;

— Identify shortcomings and gaps in existing information;

— Identify key concerns, raised by Stakeholders that should be addressed in the subsequent specialist studies;

— Highlight the potential for environmental impacts, whether positive or negative; and

— To inform and provide the public with information and an understanding of the Proposed Project, issues and solutions.

1.2.2 WHAT IS AN INTERESTED AN AFFECTED PARTY?

An I&AP is defined as any person, group of persons or organisations interested in or affected by an activity, and any organ of state that may have jurisdiction over any aspect of the activity.

The difference between an I&AP and a registered I&AP:

— An I&AP can be directly or indirectly impacted on by a proposed activity.

— A registered I&AP is a person whose name has been placed on the register of registered I&APs. According to the PPP Guidance document, 2017, only registered I&APs will be notified:

- Of the availability of reports and other written submissions made to the CA by the Applicant, and be entitled to comment on these reports and submissions; and

- Of the outcome of the application, the reasons for the decision, and that an appeal may be lodged against a decision.

For the purpose of this report, registered I&APs will be referred to as Stakeholders.

RIGHTS, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE STAKEHOLDER

Registered stakeholders have the right to bring to the attention of the competent authority any issues that they believe may be of significance to the consideration of the application. The rights of stakeholder are qualified by certain obligations, namely:

— Stakeholders must ensure that their comments are submitted within the timeframes that have been approved by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), or within any extension of a timeframe agreed by the Proponent, EAP or competent authorities;

— Serve a copy of the comments submitted directly to the competent authorities, the Proponent or the EAP; and

— Disclose to the EAP any direct business, financial, personal or other interest that they might have in the approval or refusal of the application.

The roles of stakeholders in a public participation process usually include one or more of the following:

— Assisting in the identification and prioritisation of issues that need to be investigated;


WSP August 2018

Page 4

— Making suggestions on alternatives and means of preventing, minimising and managing negative impacts and enhancing Proposed Project benefits;

— Assisting in or commenting on the development of mutually acceptable criteria for the evaluation of decision options;

— Contributing information on public needs, values and expectations;

— Contributing local and traditional knowledge; and

— Verifying that their issues have been considered.

In order to participate effectively, stakeholders should:

— Become involved in the process as early as possible;

— Register as a stakeholder;

— Advise the EAP of other stakeholders who should be consulted;

— Contribute towards the design of the public participation process (including timeframes) to ensure that it is acceptable to all stakeholders;

— Follow the process once it has been accepted;

— Read the material provided and actively seek to understand the issues involved;

— Give timeous responses to correspondence;

— Be respectful and courteous towards other stakeholders;

— Refrain from making subjective, unfounded or ill-informed statements; and

— Recognise that the process is confined to issues that are directly relevant to the application.

1.3 APPROACH TO STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Our approach to stakeholder engagement is based on the following principles:

— Undertake meaningful and timely participation with stakeholders;

— Focus on important issues during the process;

— Undertake due consideration of alternatives;

— Take accountability for information used;

— Encourage co-regulation, shared responsibility and a sense of ownership over the Proposed Project lifecycle;

— Apply “due process” particularly with regard to public participation as provided for in the EIA Regulations; and

— Consider the needs, interests and values of stakeholders.

The Public Participation guideline in terms of NEMA EIA Regulations, drafted by the Department of Environmental Affairs, 2017, tabulates the level of Public Participation required for various levels of anticipated project impacts. This table has been used to identify additional Public Participation methods which are required for the project. Highlighted cells indicate the applicable response to the anticipated impacts. Results of the process are shown in Table 1-1 below.

Table 1-1: Level of Public Participation (Department of Environmental Affairs (2017), Public Participation guideline in terms of NEMA EIA Regulations, Department of Environmental Affairs, Pretoria, South Africa.)

Minimum requirements for public participation in accordance to EIA Regulations must be met.

Does the area already suffer from socio-economic problems (e.g. job losses) or environmental problems (e.g. pollution), and is the project likely to exacerbate these?

Extensive consultation with RI&APs within the area should be undertaken, to gather more information on both the socio-economic and environmental problems.


Is the project expected to have a wide variety of impacts (e.g. socio-economic and ecological)?

Thorough consultation needs to be conducted with RI&APs, in order to address variety of impacts.


Public and environmental sensitivity of the project:

Are there widespread public concerns about the potential negative impacts of the project?

Broader consultation with all RI&APs will need to be undertaken.


Is there a high degree of conflict among RI&APs?

There might need to be more consultation to ensure that there is consensus reached among RI&APs.


Will the project impact on private land other than that of the applicant?

Consultation with the private land owner must be done, and all their concerns need to be addressed.


Does the project have the potential to create unrealistic expectations (e.g. that a new factory would create a large number of jobs)?

Thorough consultation that addresses the perceptions of unrealistic expectations needs to be carried out.


Potentially affected parties:

Has very little previous public participation taken place in the area?

More thorough public participation should take place within the area, to ensure that all potential and RI&APs participate.


Did previous public participation processes in the area result in conflict?

Additional consultation might be needed to ensure that issues of conflict are addressed effectively.



WSP August 2018

Are there existing organisational structures (e.g. local forums) that can represent I&APs?

Organizational structures might minimise conflict whilst maximising the participation.


Is the area characterised by high social diversity (i.t.o. socio-economic status, language or culture)

Proper consultations that address language and cultural diversity should be promoted.


Were people in the area victims of unfair expropriations or relocation in the past?

PPP should be extensive and address any unfair practices that occurred in the past.


Is there a high level of unemployment in the area?

The PPP should ensure that there are no unrealistic expectations created due to the project. The consultation should ensure that any unrealistic expectations are adequately addressed before the project starts.


Do the RI&APs have special needs (e.g. a lack of skills to read or write, disability, etc)?

Consultation should include mechanisms that will ensure full participation by people with special needs.

Minimum requirements for PP in accordance to the Act must be met as well as best practices relating to PP.

The results of the above assessment show that the following additional mechanisms would need to be employed for this project:

A public meeting with the landowners, the Link Community, was organised in order to present the EIA process and DSR. Members of the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality (KSDLM) were also invited to attend the meeting. The Link Community acquired the land following a successful land claim as explained in the FSR. This meeting was scheduled to be held on 24 April 2018, the day the EAP was also conducting distribution of the DSR and site notices at the public venues and the local authorities in Mthatha. On arrival at the venue, the EAP was informed that some members of the community were not happy with how the land claim process was proceeding.

It must be noted that the disagreement was not targeted at the project, but was related to leadership power struggles within the community. A faction of the community had formed a parallel committee to the existing one with regards to the land claim issue. The root of the problem can be linked to the fact that the project will generate income for the individuals listed on the land claim in the form of rentals paid by the eventual inhabitants of the project area. Due to this dispute, the public meeting to present the EIA process and the potential projects impacts was cancelled and was set to be rescheduled. The EAP and the CDC proceeded to have a meeting with the KSDLM members and the community leadership at the CDC Mthatha Office. A key output of the meeting was a suggestion to employ a Social Facilitator to assist in dealing with the key issues in the community as well as engage the Chief of the local area in order to resolve the community issue. The meeting minutes and the attendance register for this follow-up meeting are attached as Appendix D-1 of this report.

It must be noted that the conflict is related to the community leadership with respect to the client and is not related to the EIA Process. The CDC has since engaged the Chief of KwaNcise Community (Chief Makaula) in order to have the issue resolved. During this meeting, it was agreed that the Chief would be approached for any potential communication with the community. He would then be responsible for communicating the outcome to the community members so that the consultants do not directly engage with the community outside of the Chief’s presence. The meeting minutes for this follow-up meeting are attached as Appendix D-2 of this report.

2 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TO DATE

2.1 SCOPING PHASE PROCESS There was no formal pre-application public participation process undertaken to obtain comments on the proposed project prior to submission of the S&EIA application. During the pre-application phase, the EAP used attendance registers of the community and landowner meetings to get stakeholder details and informally brief them on the proposed development. An advert was published in the Daily Dispatch Newspaper on 25 April 2018. Site notices were put up on 24 April 2018 at the following points:

— Mthatha High School;

— Mthatha Public Library;

— Fence on Site Boundary; and

— King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality.

2.1.1 IDENTIFICATION OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS

Section 41 of the 2017 EIA Regulations states that written notices must be given to identified stakeholders as outlined in Table 2-1.

Relevant authorities (Organs of State) have been automatically registered as I&APs. In accordance with the EIA Regulations, 2017, all other persons must request in writing to be placed on the register, submit written comments or attend meetings in order to be registered as stakeholders and included in future communication regarding the project.

DIRECT NOTIFICATION

Notification of the proposed project was issued to potential Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) and stakeholders, via direct correspondence (i.e. site notices, email and sms) on 24 April 2018. The purpose of the notification was to offer potential I&APs and Stakeholders the opportunity to register on the project database and provide input into the process at a very early stage of the process (i.e. prior to the submission of the application forms) to ensure the major concerns had been considered adequately, reducing the potential for amendments to the report following formal commencement of the process.

All notifications distributed to registered stakeholders are included in Appendix C-3 of this report.

ADVERTISEMENT

Notification of the proposed project was issued to the general public via an advertisement on 25 April 2018. As above, the purpose of the advertisement was to notify the general public of the proposed application and provide an opportunity to register on the project database and provide input into the process. A copy of the advertisement is included as Appendix C-1. The advertisement publication details are provided in Table 2-2.

The purpose of this report is for the scoping phase for the clearance of the site to allow for future projects to take place. The environmental authorisation of individual activities that will occur on the site will be done separately if they trigger any listed activities.

commercial farming operations that are located, but not limited to the King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) local municipality.

Our intended farming operations fall within the scope of the 14-sector development projects identified in Page 32 of the Draft Scoping Report.

Issue 1

As the document was read, we were weary of making offside comments as there was some degree of confusion as to whether solicited comments were on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) aspects covered in the report or the WSEZ project scope and its feasibility. The confusion arose due to the fact that, it seems, the Final Scoping Report purpose is the required approval by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) on the environmental impacts of this project.

Issue 2

There is a need to tightly align the Wildcoast Special Economic Zone (WSEZ) Final Scoping Report with the King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) local municipality's Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2017/18 - 2022 programmes that are related to or have an impact on this project.

As a key stakeholder, KSD IDP programmes speak of the development of Mqanduli as an agricultural node with AGRO processing capabilities, Viedgesville as a Logistics hub and Mthatha Airport as a spatial economic zone for linking business opportunities.

On the other hand, this project speaks of Phase 1 as focussing on 14 sector development projects (agro-processing sector) housing facilities to unlock the primary sector with the hub near Mthatha Airport. Reference is to Page 32 of the WSEZ Draft Scoping Report. Its Phase 2 speaks of developing the Services Sector within the hub, including but not limited to Logistics and Distribution.

At face value there seems to be a duplication of efforts between the two entity initiatives, i.e. KSD IDP high impact programmes and this Coega Development Corporation (CDC) initiative. The needs to be a clear

The EIA application is for the clearance of the site not the activities, the activities will need separate application after the area have been granted.

Issue 2

There has been a series of meetings that were between the KSD and the District Municipality about the WCSEZ. This means that the KSD Municipality is aware of the WCSEZ.

Issue 3

This issue is more of the strategic stance in the province that has to be directed to Coega when the individual activities are to be considered. This phase only covers land clearance to allow for future development.

Following this email trail, Mr Nyati contacted the EAP via telephone and it was further clarified that the current EIA process was separate from specific projects as it targeted getting the EA to clear the area before any future projects on the area are then individually authorised.

resolution, - or a mapped way forward towards such a resolution, of this apparent overlap between the KSD IDP and the WSEZ Final Scoping Report. This will ensure that limited financial resources will not be spread thin on projects seeking to achieve the same goal.

Issue 3

There seems to be a gap in understanding the production capacity of current primary sector players within the Wild Coast region. Will that capacity be able to provide enough production input to profitably drive the agro-prosessing facilities at full capacity or will the intended production within the allocated 164ha be able to fill the production gap? Are there initiatives and budget allocations, perhaps by the Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform (DRDAR) and/or KSD local municipality to capacitate local players within the Wild Coast region.

We express our excitement and declare our full support for this project and wish it success in its endevours.

9.1 Dear Tutayi,

I came across a draft scoping report you wrote when I was doing research on Coffee Bay. I have been working on some plans for tourism developments in the Coffee Bay area and I believe that with the Coega supported SEZ initiative, the plans could be linked to what Coega is driving.

I am not sure what the next steps are in your process, however I would like to be included as a stakeholder in any future interactions with affected and interested parties in the SEZ development.

Please use my contact details shown below.

Good day,

We are still in the scoping phase of the EIA process. We have since submitted the final scoping report to the authorities so that they give their decision. If they accept our scoping phase findings, we will proceed to the EIA phase. We will then submit another draft EIA report for authorities and public review for 30 days. After this stage, we then submit the final EIA report to the authorities for them to grant the authorisation or not.

I will add you to the stakeholder database in the meantime so that you will be in our correspondence in the EIA phase. We are operating as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner on behalf of the CDC to acquire the Environmental Authorisation for the clearance of the area and the setting up of service infrastructure. However, the individual businesses that will set up will then run their individual environmental authorisation processes depending on the activities they will conduct. With regards to your project, you will need to approach the CDC as we are only responsible for the EIA process.

Appendix C-9

9.2 Dear Tutayi,

Thank you for your response.

I look forward to future correspondence from you.

I will liaise with Coega regarding the SEZ developments.

Good day

Please find the attached comments.

10.1.1 According to the Eastern Cape Biodiversity Conservation Plan (ECBCP), aquatic conservation priorities highlighted for the project area and planned development site include the catchment draining north towards the Mthatha Dam which has been identified as an aquatic Critical Biodiversity Area (CBA) 1 and 2; therefore the land-use planning must take into account the linkages between catchments, important rivers and sensitive estuaries, with a key focus around limiting transformation in CBA catchments.

The wetland habitat impact assessment report attached as Appendix E-3 of the EIR takes into account the linkages between catchments, important rivers and sensitive estuaries. It provides mitigation measures to limit transformation in CBA catchments and these have been included in the EMPr to ensure they are binding when the authorisation is issue.

Appendix E-3 of EIR

10.1.2 The Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIR) must explore the mitigation measures that will compensate for the loss of biodiversity and/or maintain biodiversity in a natural state as possible.

The EIR explores the mitigation measures that will compensate for the loss of biodiversity and/or maintain biodiversity in a natural state as possible. The mitigation measures are explored in the impact section of the EIR, the EMPr under the biodiversity section of Table 7-2. Furthermore the terrestrial ecological impact assessment which contains all the required mitigation measures has been attached as Appendix E-2 of the EIR.

Thank you.

11.1 (a) The EIAR must provide the four coordinate points for the proposed development site(s) (note that if the site has numerous bend points, at each bend point coordinates must be provided).

The coordinates for both the north and south portions of the proposed project sites have been indicated in Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 in the EIAR under Section 6.1.

Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 of the EIAR

11.1 (b) Table 2-1 in the final Scoping Report dated June 2018 does not have a description of each listed activity applied for. You are kindly requested to include a description of each listed activity applied for, as you have done in Section 6 of the application form.

The descriptions of all listed activities applied for have been added to Table 2-1 as requested.

Table 2-1 of the EIAR

11.1 (c) Section 1.2 of the final Scoping Report dated June 2018 states that the Wild Coast Special Economic Zone (WCSEZ) will be phased (this application is for phase 1), however, Activity 67 of GNR 983 (as amended), which could be triggered, has not been included as a triggered listed activity. Please confirm that this activity is not triggered by the proposed development and explain why.

This activity is not be triggered because each phase of the SEZ project will not be seen as an extension to Phase 1 as the location will be different from the one proposed in the current project. As such, each phase of the SEZ project will conduct its own impact assessment process based on the proposed activities and location.

In the event that the infrastructure is deemed to be under the threshold during the design stage, these can then be ignored as the authorisation would allow for smaller designs.

11.1 (e) If the activities applied for, or project descriptions in the application form differ from those mentioned in the EIAR, an amended application form must be submitted.

The listed activities applied for have not changed, however, the activity project descriptions in the EIAR differ from those in the application form. As such, the application form has been amended and will be resubmitted to the DEA.

The PPP conducted has been detailed in Section 3.3 of the final EIAR.

The PPP has been conducted in terms of the relevant regulations as required. Prior to the submission of the application, the CDC conducted stakeholder consultation, specifically landowner consultation as the proposed project site was part of a land claim that was awarded to local community members (Link community) in order to get approval to use the land for the project.

During the scoping phase, site notices were put up at the project site boundary fence, the local High School (Mthatha High School), Mthatha Library and at the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality. An advert was placed in the Daily Dispatch on 25 April 2018 as required. The site notices and the advert invited any member of the public interested to register on the stakeholder database. I&APs were added to the database through the scoping phase as required. The site notices and the advert also indicated the locations of the draft scoping report for their perusal in order to provide comments as well as the duration of the comment period.

Notifications in the form of email and sms were sent to the I&APs on the existing database before new additions were made in order to alert them on the availability of the draft scoping report. When the final scoping report was submitted to the DEA and the commenting authorities, the original I&APs as well as the new additions made during the registration

The ECPTA and DEA Integrated Impact Assessment Section have agreed to your proposed date of 17 September for the site visit. Before I confirm the meeting time, can you please indicate your proposed travel arrangements to the Mthatha Airport, which is where we all meet before we start with the site visit. At this point, I am working under the assumption that the DEA personnel will take the first flight out of O.R. Tambo on the day and use the first available flight out of Mthatha and that the ECPTA will require 4 hours from East London to Mthatha, making 10:00 am a suitable time.

Appendix C-11

1.4.1 As stated in a letter from the Department dated 17 July 2018; the proposed project area falls within CBA 1 therefore, the Directorate Biodiversity Conservation recommends that you explore the mitigation measures that will compensate for the loss of biodiversity and/or maintain biodiversity in a natural state as possible. You are advised to consider the use of an offset as a mitigation measure to loss of biodiversity in the area. The Biodiversity Offset Study must be submitted

A Biodiversity Offset Plan will not be developed as it is typically a complex and costly exercise. As a result, a compromise has been made to conserve part of the site (a third of the site) to protect the wetlands and biodiversity on the site and only make use of the rest. Furthermore, due to site limitations, this is the best available site for productive use of land considering lack of available land close to the airport and for access to main roads (R61 and N2) for logistics linkages.

as part of the final report and be approved prior to issuing of the Environmental Authorisation.

Due to the high costs and amount of time required, an offset plan is considered as a last resort. As such, this project will not pursue a Biodiversity Offset Plan but will rather settle to conserve a good part of the site and not develop it based on the new proposed layout as in Appendix F-3 of the final EIAR. An alternative plan has been made to limit the amount of sensitive area cleared for development and conserve part of it on the site. As such, no development will occur on Wetlands 1 and 2 including on the grassland area enclosed by Wetland 2. Therefore, development will only occur on the space between Wetland 1 and 2 as well as to the east of Wetland 2 (outside the buffer) including over Wetlands 3 and 4. A water use licensing process will be followed separately for the development within the regulated area of watercourses as required

1.4.2 With regard to the Biodiversity Offset Study please ensure that you obtain comments from this Department’s Directorate Biodiversity Planning and incorporate them in the Final Environmental Impact Assessment Report.

Due to the expected high costs, a Biodiversity Offset Study will not be conducted, however, the project team has decided to limit the area to be developed by preserving all of Wetland 2 as seen on the new maps and develop around it.

As such, this project will not pursue a Biodiversity Offset Plan but will rather settle to conserve a good part of the site and not develop it based on the new proposed layout as in Appendix F-3 of the final EIAR. An alternative plan has been made to limit the amount of sensitive area cleared for development and conserve part of it on the site.

A water use licensing process will be followed separately for the development within the regulated area of watercourses as required.

The final EIAR will be sent to the Department’s Directorate of Biodiversity Planning for comments that must be directed to the DEA case officer (Ms Bathandwa Ncube) for recommendations.

1.4.3 The development footprint minimized within the high sensitivity areas as far as possible.

The development footprint was minimised in a bid to limit development in the high sensitivity areas as far as possible. The project team made the decision to conserve a portion of the site by developing outside of Wetland 2’s stipulated buffers. NO development will occur on Wetlands 1 and 2 including on the grassland area enclosed by Wetland 2. Therefore, development will only occur on the space between Wetland 1 and 2 as well as to the east of Wetland 2 (outside the buffer) including over Wetlands 3 and 4. This is as indicated in Appendix F-3 of the final EIAR.

Good day,

We do not have a problem if all the sensitive areas will be avoided. However, regarding the wetland buffer please engage with Water affairs to ensure that it’s in compliance.

WSP made a call to Ms Thobekile Zungu of the Biodiversity Unit to discuss mitigation measures in the form of conservation outside of conducting an offset study on 15 October 2018. Following the phone call, an email trail followed.

1.5.2 As per our telephone conversation, if you comply with Water affairs buffers we do not have a problem, you can submit the report and I will comment and make recommendations if needed.

Good day,

Thank you for your response. We will run the Water Use Licensing process separately using the specialist studies conducted as supporting documentation for the application for the Water Use License. Please note that we have sent copies of all reports since the scoping phase to them, with no comment so far, however, when we run their process, we will initiate a pre-application meeting so that we clarify from the beginning what we will be applying for. In the meantime, we will continue with the Environmental Authorisation process.

Good day,

The DEA: Biodiversity Conservation Unit have proposed for a site visit either in the first week of September, or after the submission of the final EIAR. Does your unit intend to conduct a site visit as well? I am trying to coordinate in such a way that allows all parties to be present during one site visit instead of having multiple site visits. Please let me know if you have any intentions of visiting the site.

3.1 Hi Tutayi

Thanks for the email and informing us regarding the project.

Please can you provide information regarding the public participation process and dates of the EIA. Also was the draft EIA out for public comment as we did not receive an request to comment. Can you also send us website link to where all the full report can be downloaded.

Note that I will request my colleagues to stand in for me – will cc you in the communication.

WSP sought to find a contact from the ECPTA after being advised by the DEA: BCU to add them as a stakeholder. Following a phone call to the ECPTA offices and confirming the persons responsible for reviewing EIAs, the following email was sent:

Good day,

As discussed over the phone, we are the Environmental Assessment Practitioner on the proposed development of a Special Economic Zone on 2 land parcels adjacent to the Mthatha Airport. The project is now in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) phase as the scoping phase passed and was approved by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA). Please find the attached copy of the draft EIA report for your perusal. Due to size requirements, I have only put up the report and any appendices will be available on request.

The DEA: Biodiversity Conservation Unit have requested for a site visit and have asked us to ensure that you are also part of the meeting. We have proposed that the meeting be held in the week of the 17th of September. The actual date is still to be decided but it will be for that week. You have indicated that you are not available from the second week of September until October, but you can link us to another person who can attend. Please provide his/her details after your internal discussion. I will also add your details to the stakeholder database. Please

3.2 Dear Tutayi

Hope you are well.

Please can you send me a kml/kmz or shp outlining the locality of the proposed Mthatha SEZ. I would like to upload the files to QGIS with our sensitivity data and distribute the maps and Report to my colleagues for comments.

Hi Shane,

We acknowledge had not added you to the stakeholder database at the beginning of the project, hence there was no communication to you during the scoping phase. The draft EIAR was submitted on 10 August 2018 to the stakeholders, commenting and competent authorities that were identified during the scoping phase. This was done via publication of a Newspaper advert, The Daily Dispatch, which was published on 25 April 2018 as well as site notices that were put up at the Mthatha Library, Mthatha High School, King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality and at the site fence on 24 April 2018.

The hard copies of the draft EIAR for public engagement were made available at the Mthatha Library and Mthatha High School as well as our company website under the link below on 10 August 2018:

https://www.wsp.com/en-ZA/services/public-documents

Stakeholders were informed of the availability of the report via email and sms. The public comment period is expected to end on 10 September 2018, however, since the meeting is only occurring during the week of the 17th of September, we can incorporate your comments if you can relay them to us on the day of the proposed site visit before we then submit the final EIAR. Please note that the report is available on the link above, however, due to size constraints all appendices are available on request as will be indicated on the website.

3.5 Dear Mr Chifadza

Please note that my colleague, Ms Makeleni (cc’d in this email) will attend the site meeting on 17 September. Please can you send us more information regarding the location of the meeting as well as time.

Good day,

Thank you for the response. I will confirm with the team regarding the date so that they can make their travel arrangements. I will send a formal meeting request to ensure we are all on the same page. As shown in the kmz, the two proposed land parcels are directly adjacent to the Mthatha Airport with one on the north and the other to the south. For security reasons, we arrange all site visits in conjunction with the Mthatha Airport Security Manager to arrange for access to the land parcels, hence, we will congregate at the airport security desk first so that we all move as a group.

At this point, my assumption is that the DEA personnel and myself will be using the first flight out of Johannesburg and arrive at 07:30. In order to accommodate those traveling from East London, we can set the meeting to start at 10:00 as this will give your team enough time to drive back during the day, although we will have to wait 2,5 hours for your arrival and after your departure. If Ms Makeleni is from the Mthatha office of the ECPTA, please let me know so that we can set travel times that allow for more flexible travel. I will send a formal meeting request

She pointed out that on the actual GIS layers, the site was not within the Nature Reserve boundary and that this would be indicated in the comments. She also indicated that she would send the correct layers to use for the maps as indicated below:

78 of the Draft BAR is incorrect. Please correct the map with the spatial data provided to WSP on 5 October.

We note that the Special Economic Zone comprise of two preferred sites, namely Phase 1 North and Phase 1 South. Based on our spatial information only the preferred site for Phase 1 North falls within 5 km buffer of our nearest protected area, Luchaba Nature Reserve which fall within the Mthatha Moist Grassland in the Grassland Biome (Mucina and Rutherford). Due to the different land uses in between Luchaba Nature Reserve and proposed preferred site for the Special Economic Zone, we foresee no negative impact on the Luchaba Nature Reserve.

Nature Reserve relative to the site location. This is indicated as Figure 8-19 of the final EIAR.

3.6.1.2 The ECPTA is also the custodian of the Eastern Cape Protected Area Expansion Strategy (ECPAES). None of the proposed development sites does not fall in any of the priority expansion areas identified by the ECPAES. However, based on the landscape characteristics and different land uses between the proposed Special Economic Zone and priority expansion areas, we foresee no threat to the priority expansion areas identified within the ECPAES.

Good afternoon Bathandwa

Thanks for the attendance register.

Will be speaking for the regional Environmental Impact Management (EIM) section.

Apart from other Biodiversity issues, one major concern was the issue of wetlands around and on the proposed site for the SEZ. However, it was comforting to note that this issue is covered in the studies conducted and submitted to your offices. Would also advise for consultation with Department of Water Affairs, just to get their stand on the issue, and maybe considering recreational facilities for one of the least degraded wetlands as part of compensating for the severely degraded wetlands. Municipality was part of the site visit and meeting, so will not talk to availability of infrastructure, I believe the issue was tackled during the meeting.

If there is anything you would like clarity on please do not hesitate to contact me.

WSP responded to the email on 26 September 2018

Good day,

We have sent all the reports to date (Draft Scoping, Final Scoping and Draft EIA) to the DWS, however, we have not had a response to date. Follow ups will be made as well. Furthermore, there will be formal consultation done again when the Water Use Licence is applied for.

BACKGROUND AND LOCATION

The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) proposes to develop a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in the Wildcoast area of Mthatha around the Mthatha airport. The SEZ will be for commercial and industrial development and will be occupied by various types of businesses, which in turn, will require their own individual authorisations when they intend to develop. Due to the nature of the construction, the CDC is required to follow a Scoping and Environmental Impact Reporting (S&EIR) process to gain environmental approval prior to the commencement of the Proposed Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATION

The following legislative requirements are applicable: — NEMA: GNR 327, Activities 9, 10, 12, 19 and 24; — NEMA: GNR 325, Activity 15; and — NEMA: GNR 324, Activities 4, 12, 14 and 15.

The following legislative requirements are applicable for triggered water use activities: — NWA: Section 21(c) impeding or diverting the flow of water in a watercourse and Section 21(i) altering the bed, banks,

course or characteristic of a watercourse. REGISTRATION

WSP Environment and Energy (WSP) has been appointed as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP), to manage the S&EIR process. Parties wishing to formally register as stakeholders in order to offer their comment on the Proposed Project are requested to forward their full contact details to the EAP at the details provided below. Registered stakeholders will be forwarded all future correspondence, and notified individually of additional opportunities to participate in the process.

R AFAEL Nadal said he’slooking to carry the mo-mentum from his 11th

Monte Carlo Masters title into

the rest of the clay-court seasonafter beating Kei Nishikori inS u n d ay ’s final.

The world number one showedno signs of rustiness in Monacoas he raced through his first ATPtournament since January with-out coming close to dropping aset.

The 31-year-old will now turnhis attention to upcoming bidsfor 11th titles in Barcelona and atthe French Open.

“It’s important for my confi-dence. It’s true that the longestmatch here was one hour 30(minutes). That’s great news,”said Nadal.

“Today is a day to enjoy thisbecause winning a tournamentlike this one doesn’t happen ev-ery day.

“But tomorrow I need to startbeing focused on the next week.It’s not the moment to stop anddisconnect your mind.

“It’s the moment to stay fo-cused and to keep holding thatgood momentum after winningseven matches in a row on claynow this year.” Nadal only re-turned from a hip injury inSpain’s Davis Cup quarterfinalagainst Germany earlier thismonth, where he won both of hissingles matches in straight sets.

The Spaniard had retired fromhis Australian Open last-eightclash with Marin Cilic in Jan-uary, but showed no signs offitness problems in Monte Car-lo.

“There remains a lot of theclaycourt season, hopefully,hopefully, a lot of matches,” hesaid.

“I hope to have the chance tobe healthy for the whole clay-court season. That’s it, yeah, it’san important beginning.

“My goal is always the samething – to be healthy, because if Iam not healthy, I cannot have

any goals.” The victory keptNadal ahead of Roger Federer atthe top of the world rankings andwas also an outright record 31stMasters title, pulling him out of atie with Novak Djokovic.

Twenty-four of those success-es have come on clay, on whichNadal has now won 36 consec-utive sets.

The 16-time Grand Slam cham-pion said that he’s just trying toenjoy every moment of the latterpart of his career.

“My true feeling is that thesekind of things are not going tohappen forever, so I just try toenjoy and to play with full pas-sion and with full energy andconcentration, full love for thesport for as long as I can,” headded.

“I know the day to say goodbyeis closer than 10 years ago.

“It’s something that I am notworried about, but it’s a realthing. So I’m just enjoying everyday and trying to play with thebest attitude possible, to keepbeing happy playing tennis.”

Nadal extended his Open-erarecord as the man to have wonthe most titles at the same event,having first won in Monaco as an18-year-old in 2005, and he knowsit will be a hard mark for futureplayers to beat. “Eleven titleshere, it’s unbelievable, so... It’ssomething difficult to imagine,”he said. — AFP

Good day,

Thank you for the response. I will confirm with the team regarding the date so that they can make their travelarrangements. I will send a formal meeting request to ensure we are all on the same page. As shown in the kmz, thetwo proposed land parcels are directly adjacent to the Mthatha Airport with one on the north and the other to thesouth. For security reasons, we arrange all site visits in conjunction with the Mthatha Airport Security Manager toarrange for access to the land parcels, hence, we will congregate at the airport security desk first so that we all moveas a group.

At this point, my assumption is that the DEA personnel and myself will be using the first flight out of Johannesburgand arrive at 07:30. In order to accommodate those traveling from East London, we can set the meeting to start at10:00 as this will give your team enough time to drive back during the day, although we will have to wait 2,5 hoursfor your arrival and after your departure. If Ms Makeleni is from the Mthatha office of the ECPTA, please let meknow so that we can set travel times that allow for more flexible travel. I will send a formal meeting requesttomorrow to Ms Makeleni after I find out how the DEA personnel intend to travel so that we do not assumeanything.

The draft EIAR was submitted on 10 August 2018 to thestakeholders, commenting and competent authorities that were identified during the scoping phase. This was donevia publication of a Newspaper advert, The Daily Dispatch, which was published on 25 April 2018 as well as sitenotices that were put up at the Mthatha Library, Mthatha High School, King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipalityand at the site fence on 24 April 2018.

The hard copies of the draft EIAR for public engagement were made available at the Mthatha Library and MthathaHigh School as well as our company website under the link below on 10 August 2018:

The project is now in the EnvironmentalImpact Assessment (EIA) phase as the scoping phase passed and was approved by the Department of EnvironmentalAffairs (DEA). Please find the attached copy of the draft EIA report for your perusal. Due to size requirements, I haveonly put up the report and any appendices will be available on request.

The DEA: Biodiversity Conservation Unit have requested for a site visit and have asked us to ensure that you are alsopart of the meeting. We have proposed that the meeting be held in the week of the 17th of September. The actualdate is still to be decided but it will be for that week. You have indicated that you are not available from the secondweek of September until October, but you can link us to another person who can attend.

Good afternoon Bathandwa

Thanks for the attendance register.

Will be speaking for the regional Environmental Impact Management (EIM) section.

Apart from other Biodiversity issues, one major concern was the issue of wetlands around and on the proposed sitefor the SEZ. However, it was comforting to note that this issue is covered in the studies conducted and submitted toyour offices. Would also advise for consultation with Department of Water Affairs, just to get their stand on theissue, and maybe considering recreational facilities for one of the least degraded wetlands as part of compensatingfor the severely degraded wetlands. Municipality was part of the site visit and meeting, so will not talk to availabilityof infrastructure, I believe the issue was tackled during the meeting.

If there is anything you would like clarity on please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm regardsVuyokazi Silo066 470 2328

From: Chifadza, TutayiSent: Tuesday, 29 May 2018 12:24To: 'Langa Nyati'Cc: [email protected]: RE: Comments on the Wild Coast SEZ Draft Scoping Report

Good day,

The purpose of this report is for the scoping phase for the clearance of the site to allow for future projects to takeplace. The environmental authorisation of individual activities that will occur on the site will be done separately ifthey trigger any listed activities.

Issue 1

The EIA application is for the clearance of the site not the activities, the activities will need separate application afterthe area have been granted.

Issue 2

There has been a series of meetings that were between the KSD and the District Municipality about the WCSEZ. Thismeans that the KSD Municipality is aware of the WCSEZ.

Issue 3

This issue is more of the strategic stance in the province that has to be directed to Coega when the individualactivities are to be considered. This phase only covers land clearance to allow for future development.


T +27 11 3611390F +27 11 361 1301M +27 73 7701635From: Langa Nyati [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Sunday, 27 May 2018 19:41To: Chifadza, Tutayi <[email protected]>Cc: [email protected]: Comments on the Wild Coast SEZ Draft Scoping Report

Dear Tutayi,

Thank you for providing us a platform to raise issues on this very important initiative by the CoegaDevelopment Corporation (CDC).

Who we are:

We represent Embo Farms (Pty) Ltd (reg no. 2018/081989/07), which is a 100% black woman-ownedcompany. It has intentions of establishing commercial farming operations that are located, but not limited tothe King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) local municipality.

Our intended farming operations fall within the scope of the 14-sector development projects identified inPage 32 of the Draft Scoping Report.

2

Issue 1

As the document was read, we were weary of making offside comments as there was some degree ofconfusion as to whether solicited comments were on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) aspectscovered in the report or the WSEZ project scope and its feasibility. The confusion arose due to the fact that,it seems, the Final Scoping Report purpose is the required approval by the Department of EnvironmentalAffairs (DEA) on the environmental impacts of this project.

Issue 2

There is a need to tightly align the Wildcoast Special Economic Zone (WSEZ) Final Scoping Report withthe King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) local municipality's Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2017/18 - 2022programmes that are related to or have an impact on this project.

As a key stakeholder, KSD IDP programmes speak of the development of Mqanduli as an agricultural nodewith AGRO processing capabilities, Viedgesville as a Logistics hub and Mthatha Airport as a spatialeconomic zone for linking business opportunities.

On the other hand, this project speaks of Phase 1 as focussing on 14 sector development projects (agro-processing sector) housing facilities to unlock the primary sector with the hub near Mthatha Airport.Reference is to Page 32 of the WSEZ Draft Scoping Report. Its Phase 2 speaks of developing the ServicesSector within the hub, including but not limited to Logistics and Distribution.

At face value there seems to be a duplication of efforts between the two entity initiatives, i.e. KSD IDP highimpact programmes and this Coega Development Corporation (CDC) initiative. The needs to be a clearresolution, - or a mapped way forward towards such a resolution, of this apparent overlap between the KSDIDP and the WSEZ Final Scoping Report. This will ensure that limited financial resources will not bespread thin on projects seeking to achieve the same goal.

Issue 3

There seems to be a gap in understanding the production capacity of current primary sector players withinthe Wild Coast region. Will that capacity be able to provide enough production input to profitably drive theagro-prosessing facilities at full capacity or will the intended production within the allocated 164ha be ableto fill the production gap? Are there initiatives and budget allocations, perhaps by the Department of RuralDevelopment and Agrarian Reform (DRDAR) and/or KSD local municipality to capacitate local playerswithin the Wild Coast region.

We express our excitement and declare our full support for this project and wish it success in itsendevours.

I came across a draft scoping report you wrote when I was doing research on Coffee Bay. I have been working onsome plans for tourism developments in the Coffee Bay area and I believe that with the Coega supported SEZinitiative, the plans could be linked to what Coega is driving.

I am not sure what the next steps are in your process, however I would like to be included as a stakeholder in anyfuture interactions with affected and interested parties in the SEZ development.

Good day,

Thank you for the response. I will confirm with the team regarding the date so that they can make their travelarrangements. I will send a formal meeting request to ensure we are all on the same page. As shown in the kmz, thetwo proposed land parcels are directly adjacent to the Mthatha Airport with one on the north and the other to thesouth. For security reasons, we arrange all site visits in conjunction with the Mthatha Airport Security Manager toarrange for access to the land parcels, hence, we will congregate at the airport security desk first so that we all moveas a group.

At this point, my assumption is that the DEA personnel and myself will be using the first flight out of Johannesburgand arrive at 07:30. In order to accommodate those traveling from East London, we can set the meeting to start at10:00 as this will give your team enough time to drive back during the day, although we will have to wait 2,5 hoursfor your arrival and after your departure. If Ms Makeleni is from the Mthatha office of the ECPTA, please let meknow so that we can set travel times that allow for more flexible travel. I will send a formal meeting requesttomorrow to Ms Makeleni after I find out how the DEA personnel intend to travel so that we do not assumeanything.

This was donevia publication of a Newspaper advert, The Daily Dispatch, which was published on 25 April 2018 as well as sitenotices that were put up at the Mthatha Library, Mthatha High School, King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipalityand at the site fence on 24 April 2018.

The hard copies of the draft EIAR for public engagement were made available at the Mthatha Library and MthathaHigh School as well as our company website under the link below on 10 August 2018:


Stakeholders were informed of the availability of the report via email and sms. The public comment period isexpected to end on 10 September 2018, however, since the meeting is only occurring during the week of the 17th ofSeptember, we can incorporate your comments if you can relay them to us on the day of the proposed site visitbefore we then submit the final EIAR. Please note that the report is available on the link above, however, due to sizeconstraints all appendices are available on request as will be indicated on the website.
