Transnet LimitedProposed RO Plant: Port of SaldanhaFinal Basic Assessment ReportGlossaryTERMBasic AssessmentBenthicBioregionCompetent AuthorityDesalinationEcosystemEndemicEnvironmentEnvironmentalImpact AssessmentEnvironmentalManagement PlanListed ActivitiesMaricultureDESCRIPTION / EXPLANATIONBasic Assessment is the level of environmental assessment appliedto activities listed in GN R.386 identified in terms of Sections 24 and24D of NEMA. The process is informed by Section 22, 23, 24, 25 and26 of the Regulations (GN R. 385) in terms of Chapter 5 of NEMA.The activities identified in GN R.386 are smaller scale activities: theimpacts of these activities are generally known and can be easilymanaged.Organisms living in or on the sediments of aquatic habitats (lakes,rivers, ponds, etc).A territory defined by a combination of biological, social, andgeographic criteria, rather than geopolitical considerations; generally,a system of related, interconnected ecosystems.The competent authority is the environmental authority responsiblefor making an informed decision on environmental applicationssubmitted for a proposed activity. The competent authority for thisapplication is the DEAT.A chemical process of removing salt from water (in this case seawater).A community of plants, animals and organisms interacting with eachother and with the non-living (physical and chemical) components oftheir environment.Having localised occurrence or distribution.All of the biotic and abiotic factors that act on an organism,population, or ecological community and influence its survival anddevelopment.A method of analysis which attempts to predict the likelyrepercussions of a proposed development on the social and physicalenvironment of the surrounding area.An action plan or system which addresses the how, when, who,where and what of integrating environmental mitigation andmonitoring measures throughout an existing or proposed operation oractivity.Activities identified by the Minister of Environmental Affairs andTourism in terms of Section 24 and Section 24D of the NEMA whichmay have a detrimental effect on the environment and which may notbe commenced without prior written authorisation from the competentauthority.

Transnet LimitedProposed RO Plant: Port of SaldanhaFinal Basic Assessment ReportTERMParabolic DuneSystemPermeatePiggingPotable waterPrimary (embryo)duneQuayReverse Osmosis(RO)SustainabledevelopmentDESCRIPTION / EXPLANATIONInland dunes generally in the shape of a hairpin, and with trailingarms running parallel to the wind direction. Generally stable and wellvegetated.The potable water produced as a result of the RO process.A system often employed on marine pipelines for regularmaintenance cleaning, in which a “pig” (bullet-shaped device withbristles) is introduced into the pipeline to mechanically clean out thestructure.Water that is safe to drink, free from pollution, harmful organisms andimpurities.Unstable, mobile dunes usually found just above the high water markof the sea.A platform that runs along the edge of a port or harbour, wherevessels are loaded and unloaded.A method of producing pure water by forcing saline or impure waterthrough a semi permeable membrane through which salts orimpurities cannot pass.Development that meets the needs and aspirations of the currentgeneration without compromising the ability to meet those of futuregenerations.viPrepared by the PDNA/SRK Joint Venture
