Appendices FBAR - CSIR

Hi Christo
Thanks for the feedback. I have indicated in the BAR Report Recommendations that the pier should be used for the pilot
plant. CapeNature agree with this.
The alternative only exists as a point of reference (often used in EIA) and if there is a technical problem with placing the
container on the pier (e.g. some kind of health and safety regulations for port operations). However, as you know this is
unlikely and the pier will in all likelihood be used.
I will nonetheless put your suggestion into the report before it is issued to government for decision.
Kind regards,
Greg Schreiner

Hi Greg,
It is suggested that the option to erect or place a pilot RO plant at site: Farm 949/0 is removed from the EIA process in total,
not an option. This site is located in a sensitive undisturbed protected dune vegetation area (CBA) and access to the
proposed site will cause sensitive vegetation to be disturbed and most probably eliminated during erection. Too much of a
risk.
All the best with the pilot plant trials, I hope the results will direct the final location of the RO plant.

Subject: Draft Basic Assessment Report for Desalination Pilot Plants
Dear Interested and Affected Party
Please find attached the Draft Basic Assessment Report for the operation of two desalination Pilot Plants in the Saldanha Bay
area on Farms 119, 1185 and 949 (Alternative). DEA&DP reference number E12/2/4/1-F4/16-3022/12. There will be a 40 day
commenting period from the date of receipt should you have new concerns or queries.
Please note: the issue raised at the meeting 30 March 2012 at Blue Water Bay Lodge (pre-report release with the SBWQFT
and LRPA) concerning the location of the Pilot Plant plant on the Transnet Pier (as opposed to Farm 949) has been
recognised and the Transnet Pier is the 'Preferred' option for the location of the container (please see report Appendices).
This has been discussed with Nicole Jansen, the Environmental Manager at Transnet. The second Pilot Plant will be located at
farm 119 at Danger Bay as originally intended.
Regards,
Greg Schreiner
