<strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Report</strong>(b)the type of activity to be undertaken;The ACSA preferred site is currently used as an ACSA staff car parking area, whilst the ACSAalternative site is used as a coach staging area and is landscaped. At present no alternativeactivities/ land use for the sites are proposed other than their current use and proposed PFSuse. To accommodate the existing site uses should these be replaced with the proposed PFSuse, ACSA is able to provide sufficient alternative staff parking (preferred site) and only aportion of the coach staging area will be used, should development of the alternative site occur.(c)the design or layout of the activity;Three layout options (A, B and C) have been proposed by Sasol (Appendix A). The entranceand exit positions and locations of the USTs are identical in each layout option. The layoutoptions vary only in the positioning of the forecourt, convenience shop and fast food outlets.Sasol have indicated in terms of ease of development of the site and economic feasibility, thatlayout Option A is the preferred option.(d)the technology to be used in the activity;Apart from the standard PFS technology proposed, given the sensitivities of the adjacent Mdloticatchment, a double walled “Permatank” and additional monitoring has been recommended. Inaddition Stage 1 Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Vapour Recovery Systems, as approved by ACSAshould be installed onto fuel dispensing nozzles at the refuelling and forecourt areas.(e)the operational aspects of the activity; andNo alternative operational aspects of the activity are proposed, again standard industry PFSoperational procedures will be applied(f)the option of not implementing the activityShould ACSA not undertake the construction of the PFS, the sites will remain as is and willcontinue to be used as the ACSA staff car parking (preferred site) and as the coach stagingarea (alternative site). The KSIA will however remain without an operational PFS and airportusers will continue to experience inconvenience in not being able to attain fuel for their vehiclesat a close and convenient location. The nearest PFS is located 6km away, outside of the airporttraffic flow routes. The other JV sites proposed will have development delays due to re-zoningapplications being required (refer to discussion in Section 4 (a) above).Sections B 5 – 15 below should be completed for each alternative.Note: This has been undertaken for only the two ACSA site alternatives (preferred andalternative site) and not the proposed JV Sites.5. ACTIVITY POSITIONIndicate the position of the activity using the latitude and longitude of the centre point of the sitefor each alternative site. The co-ordinates should be in degrees, minutes and seconds.
