ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME: PROPOSED REALIGNMENT OF THE REGIONAL ROUTE (R22) AROUND HLUHLUWE TOWN, BIG 5 HLABISA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, KWAZULU-NATAL 1. INTRODUCTION Terratest (Pty) Ltd has been appointed by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed realignment of the Regional Route (R22) around Hluhluwe town, Big 5 Hlabisa Local Municipality. This EMPr has been compiled in accordance with Government Notice (GNR) 982, Appendix 4 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (2014), as amended. In this regard, the EMPr provides mitigation measures for impacts identified in the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) by defining the relevant objectives, outcomes and actions. This EMPr has been compiled in accordance to Government Notice (GNR) 982, Appendix 4 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (2014, as amended) and is to be read in conjunction with the standard SANRAL Construction Environmental Management Plan (EMPl), appended as Appendix 1 to this document. Any reference within this document made to the term EMPr, includes the appended SANRAL EMPl document. In accordance with the Integrated Environmental Management Guidelines published by the Department of Environmental Affairs & Tourism (DEAT) in 1992, the purpose of an EMPr is “to describe how negative environmental impacts will be managed, rehabilitated or monitored and how positive impacts will be maximised”. Section 28 of NEMA (National Environmental Management Act, Act 107 of 1998) which pertains to “Duty of care and remediation of Environmental Damage” states that: "(1) Every person who causes, has caused or may cause significant pollution or degradation of the environment, must take reasonable measures to prevent such pollution or degradation from occurring, continuing or recurring, or, in so far as such harm to the environment is authorised by law or cannot be reasonably avoided or stopped, to minimise and rectify such pollution or degradation of the environment." This EMPr must therefore form an integral part of the contract documents between SANRAL and the appointed contractor during the construction phase of the project, as it outlines the methodology and duties required, such that construction can be achieved in an environmentally sustainable manner; with particular reference to the prevention and mitigation of environmental impacts caused by construction activities associated with the project. Such mitigation measures will have a financial impact on the projects costings. This EMPr is a dynamic document that may need to evolve during its implementation period, such that it recognises any new issues that may arise; or changes in the parameters of identified issues which can be addressed with required / amended mitigation. The following principles are to be adhered to, in conjunction with the EMPr, throughout construction: THE POLLUTER-PAYS PRINCIPLE This principle provides for “the costs of remedying pollution, environmental degradation and consequent adverse health effects and of preventing, controlling or minimizing further pollution, environmental damage or adverse health effects, which must be paid for by those responsible for harming the environment.” The Polluter Pays Principle must be rigorously applied throughout the construction phase of this project. PROGRESSIVE REHABILITATION Progressive rehabilitation must be undertaken throughout the construction phase of the project where areas have been impacted upon. Rehabilitation should commence as soon as construction is completed

ACTIVITY INFORMATION 3.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed realignment of the R22 around Hluhluwe town will assist in diverting traffic that is not destined for Hluhluwe, to the adjoining Mbazwana/Sodwana Bay Road. The diversion of traffic will reduce existing traffic volumes within the town, thereby reducing the risk to road users and pedestrians, reduce wear on town infrastructure and decrease road maintenance costs. In addition, travel time delays will be reduced for road users as a more direct route bypassing the town, will be available. The requirements for the realignment are as follows: • The establishment of a new SANRAL road reserve to accommodate the realignment; • Construction of a single carriageway road, with a total width of 13 meters (m), within the national road reserve of 50m. This will serve to accommodate one lane of traffic per direction; and • The single carriageway road will tie into the authorised, but not yet constructed, road-over-rail bridge and approach alignment (DEA Ref No. 14/12/16/3/3/1/1502). Whilst three Layout Alternatives were provided, this EMPr only addresses the Preferred Layout Alternative as it is considered the most practicable, feasible, cost-effective and appropriate alternative. 3.2. PROJECT LOCATION The road realignment will bypass the town of Hluhluwe, located in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal, Umkhanyakude District Municipality. Hluhluwe town is located ~85km to the north of Richards Bay and falls within the jurisdiction of the Big 5 Hlabisa Local Municipality. The proposed project is located on the Regional Route (R22), Section 1 on the outskirts of Hluhluwe town. The predominant land use to the north of the town is agriculture and tourism. In the west, the agricultural activities are centred around pineapple farming. To the north and east of the municipal boundary, the farming activities consist of mainly game farms, which support the surrounding tourism industry. iSimangaliso Wetland Park is located approximately 7.15km to the east of the realignment, and Bonamanzi Game Park is situated approximately 500m to the south-east of the proposed realignment.

The proposed realignment will take traffic in a west-east direction, 100m to the north of the town. The site is accessed ~2km off the N2, along the existing R22. A Locality Map is provided in Figure 3-1. TABLE 3-1: Start, middle, end and bend co-ordinates along the Preferred Layout alignment POINT Latitude Longitude 1 28° 0’ 39.46” 32° 14’ 57.59’ 2 28° 0’ 39.91” 32° 15’ 8.20” 3 28° 0’ 39.72” 32° 15’ 15.31” 4 28° 0’ 38.54” 32° 15’ 22.33” 5 28° 0’ 32.21” 32° 15’ 48.70” 6 28° 0’ 30.72” 32° 15’ 58.21” 7 28° 0’ 30.73” 32° 16’ 8.06” 8 28° 0’ 33.20” 32° 16’ 39.59” 9 28° 0’ 36.88” 32° 16’ 39.23” 10 28° 0’ 40.34” 32° 16’ 40.54” 11 28° 0’ 41.82” 32° 16’ 44.30” 12 28° 0’ 41.85” 32° 16’ 49.09” 3.3. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The Preferred Layout (Figure 3-2) starts east of the N2/R22 interchange approximately at existing km marker post R22-1 KM1.2 with a left curve of 1500m radius as it crosses the agricultural farm lands to the west of Hluhluwe. The alignment then continues for 325m following with a right curve of 1500m radius crossing a drainage path at approximately chainage 1500. Following on this curve the alignment heads in an easterly direction on the northern Municipal boundary of the Big 5 Hlabisa Municipality. The alignment then passes to the north of the Hluhluwe Airfield (Runway 21) at chainage 2540. The road at this position is approximately 1m in fill i.e. 1m in height and is within the approach requirements of the South Africa Civil Aviation Authority. The Preferred Alignment will then tie into the approach alignment of the road-over-rail bridge. An access underpass culvert is proposed to be constructed within the watercourse crossing. This will allow access for farm equipment under the proposed Preferred Layout and will accommodate the equipment utilised for pineapple farming. The longitudinal profile of the Underpass Culvert is illustrated in Appendix 3. Detailed design Drawings are included in Appendix 3 of this document. Access to Hluhluwe Town from the west, will be via an intersection road which tees off from the bypass route approximately 338m into the realignment, at the following co-ordinates (28° 00’ 37.76”S and 32°15’ 25.82”E). The intersection road will be approximately 230m in length. It is expected that a total of 5 minor culvert structures will be required to facilitate the movement of stormwater through the road prism. These consist of three 900mm diameter culverts and two 1200mm diameter culvert. The culverts will be located at appropriate positions to facilitate effective stormwater control. Side drains will be constructed along the R22 wherever the road is in cut. On the intersection road and at the quarterlink interchange, concrete kerb and channel combinations will be utilised to lead stormwater to appropriate drainage structures. Cross drains (culverts) will be 900mm – 1.2m in diameter. Inlet and outlet control structures to culverts will be in accordance with the SANRAL typical details. Subsoil drainage will be required to be installed along all sections of roadway in cut. The subsoil drainage details will be according to the SANRAL typical details with discharge into appropriate drainage channels. Table 3-2 lists the locations of the drainage structures that would be required to be built along the Preferred Layout.

WETLANDS AND WATERCOURSES Construction of the road realignment will require the crossing of one watercourse1, inclusive of a drainage line and an unchanneled valley bottom wetland (Figure 3-3). The centre point co-ordinates of the wetland and watercourse crossing point are as follows: TABLE 3-3: Centre point co-ordinate of the watercourse and wetland crossing point Point Co-ordinates 1. 28° 00’ 33.76” S 32° 15’ 56.59” E 3.5. NO-GO AREAS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES No no-go areas were identified in the Wetland and Vegetation Assessment or the Heritage Impact Assessment. However, recommendations regarding best practice and measures to protect the receiving environment have been included in this document. 1 As per GNR 982 of the EIA Regulations (2014, as amended) a watercourse is defined as “(a) a river or spring; (b) a natural channel in which water flows regularly or intermittently; (c) a wetland, pan, lake or dam into which, or from which, water flows; and any collection of water which the Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, declare to be a watercourse as defined in the National Water Act, 1998 (Act No. 36 of 1998)”.

3.6. APPLICABILITY OF EIA REGULATIONS (2014, AS AMENDED) In terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (2014, as amended), promulgated in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (NEMA), certain Listed Activities are specified for which either a Basic Assessment (GNR 983 and GNR 985) or a full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (GNR 984) is required. The following Listed Activities in Government Notice GNR 983 and 985 (Listing Notice 1) and GNR 984 (Listing Notice 2), which require a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment, are applicable to the proposed development: TABLE 3-4: Applicable Listed Activities in terms of the EIA Regulations, as amended THE NUMBER OF THE RELEVANT NOTICE, ACTIVTY NUMBER AND ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ACTIVITY THAT TRIGGERS LISTED ACTIVITY GNR 983 (as amended), (Listing Notice 1) Activity 12: “The development of – (ii) infrastructure or structures with a physical footprint of 100 square metres or more; where such development occurs – (a) within a watercourse.” The proposed realignment crosses a wetland / watercourse. It is anticipated that the proposed construction of the culvert infrastructure as well as the associated road construction, will exceed 100 square metres in size, thus triggering this Listed Activity. GNR 983 (as amended), (Listing Notice 1) Activity 19: “The infilling or depositing of any material of more than 10 cubic metres into, or the dredging, excavation, removal or moving of soil, sand, shells, shell grit, pebbles or rock of more than 10 cubic metres from a watercourse.” The construction of the culvert infrastructure will entail the infilling and depositing of more than 10m3 into the wetland/watercourse, thus triggering this Listed Activity. GNR 984 (as amended), (Listing Notice 2) Activity 27: “The development of a road– (iii) With a reserve wider than 30 metres.” The proposed realignment will be developed on land where there is, at present, no road reserve. The Applicant, the South African National Roads Agency Limited, is proposing to develop a road with a width of 13m and a reserve of 50m in width, thus triggering this Listed Activity. GNR 985 (as amended), (Listing Notice 3) Activity 14: “The development of – (ii) infrastructure or structures with a physical footprint of 10 square metres or more; where such development occurs – (a) within a watercourse; d. In KwaZulu-Natal, (x) Outside urban areas: (aa) Areas within 10 kilometres from national parks or world heritage sites or 5 kilometres from any terrestrial protected area identified in terms of NEMPAA or from the core area of a biosphere reserve”. The proposed road realignment will require the establishment of culvert infrastructure that will cover an extent of more than 10m² and is situated within 10 kilometres of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site. In addition, Bonamanzi Game Park is situated in close proximity to the development. As such this Listed Activity is triggered. 3.7. NATIONAL WATER ACT (ACT NO 36 OF 1998) As per the National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998), should an activity require a water use, as defined in Section 21 of the Act, a Water Use Licence or a General Authorisation registration will be required prior to the activity being undertaken. The Competent Authority in this regard is the Department of Water and Sanitation. The following water uses are applicable and a Water Use Licence / General Authorisation is being applied for in this regard by Terratest (Pty) Ltd:

• Section 21(c): Impeding or diverting the flow of water in a watercourse; and • Section 21(i): Altering the bed, banks, course or characteristics of a watercourse. 4. MONITORING 4.1. METHOD AND FREQUENCY OF MONITORING

• An independent, external ECO must audit the construction site during the construction phase of the project on a monthly basis, unless otherwise specified by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA); • A monthly construction Environmental Audit Report is to be drafted by the ECO and submitted to the Applicant / Employer for review, implementation and distribution prior to the following site audit; and • The relevant party (be it the ECO / Applicant, as per the Environmental Authorisation) has the responsibility to submit the site audit report to the relevant DEA and provincial Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA): Compliance and Monitoring Departments for the duration of the construction period. 4.2. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The implementation of this EMPr requires the involvement of several stakeholders, each fulfilling a different but vital role to ensure sound environmental management during the construction phase. The stakeholders are discussed below. 4.2.1. Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) The DEA is the designated National Authority responsible for authorising the environmental application and associated project specific EMPr. The DEA has overall responsibility for ensuring that the applicant complies with the conditions of the Environmental Authorisation (EA) and the EMPr. 4.2.2. EDTEA The Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) is the designated provincial responsible for ensuring that the Applicant complies with the Conditions of the Environmental Authorisation and EMPr. 4.2.3. Applicant: South African National Road Agency Limited (SANRAL) Under South Africa’s environmental legislation, the Applicant is accountable for the potential impacts of the activities that are undertaken and is responsible for managing these impacts. SANRAL, as the Applicant, therefore has overall environmental responsibility to ensure that the implementation of this EMPr complies with the relevant legislation and the Conditions of the Environmental Authorisation. 4.2.4. Environmental Control Officer The independent ECO appointed will monitor and review the on-site environmental management and implementation of this EMPr throughout the project. This will be done by conducting site audits and issuing monthly audit reports to the Applicant and DEA / EDTEA (should this be a requirement of the EA). The ECO is to be at the forefront of all environmental management issues. 4.2.5. Environmental Manager The Environmental Manager, or his/her appointee, will conduct daily inspections of the site to identify potential non-compliances and potential negative impacts to the environment. Findings of any non-compliances are to be noted in a register and copies thereof will be made available to the ECO and raised in construction meetings for mitigation or avoidance measures.

4.2.6. CONTRACTOR This refers to the main contractor(s) appointed by the Applicant for the construction of the project, or a portion of the project. The main contractor(s) will be responsible for complying with the EMPr and any other legislative requirements, as applicable to the contractors’ appointment for the proposed development. The contractor/s will also be responsible for drafting method statements and submitting them to the Engineer / ECO for review and approval prior to implementation. The contractor must ensure that all employees under their appointment receive appropriate training prior to the commencement of construction, as well as continuously throughout the construction process. Environmental protection measures, as listed in the EMPr and the Method Statements, are to be presented by the Contractor, or a designated appointee, to construction personnel. 4.2.7. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE Details of the organisational structure are presented in Figure 4-1. The structure illustrates the reporting procedures for stakeholders responsible for the implementation of this EMPr.

FIGURE 4-1: Organisational structure An EMPr Acknowledgement Form is provided as Appendix 4, committing all parties involved to sound environmental practices during construction. This form must be signed and adhered to by the Contractor. 4.2.8. METHOD STATEMENTS Method Statements are written submissions by the contractor to the ECO in response to the requirements of this EMPr, or to a request by the ECO. The contractor shall be required to prepare Method Statements for several specific construction activities and/or environmental management aspects. The contractor shall not commence the activity for which a Method Statement is required until the Engineer / ECO has approved the relevant Method Statement. Method Statements must be submitted at least 20 working days prior to the date on which approval is required.

APPENDIX 1: STANDARD SANRAL CONSTRUCTION EMPR

REVISED EMPl 16 March 2018 C-1

THE SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY SOC LIMITED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN


C1001 SCOPE The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) recognises environmental management as a key component of road infrastructure development and as part of its environmental policy has developed this Environmental Management Plan (EMPl) as a tool for continual improvement in environmental performance. This EMPl prescribes the methods by which proper environmental controls are to be implemented by the contractor. The duration over which the contractor’s controls shall be in place cover the construction period of the project as well as the limited time after contract completion defined by the Conditions of Contract for Construction for Building and Engineering Works Designed by the SANRAL (1999 edition) published by the Federation Internationale des Ingenieurs-Conseils (FIDIC) as the Defects Notification Period (maintenance period). The provisions of this EMPl are binding on the contractor during the life of the contract. They are to be read in conjunction with all the documents that comprise the suite of documents for this contract, particularly the conditions of any environmental authorisation and associated Environmental Management Programme (EMPr). In the event that any conflict occurs between the terms of the EMPl and the project specifications or environmental authorisation, the terms herein shall be subordinate. The EMPl is a dynamic document subject to similar influences and changes as are brought by variations to the provisions of the project specification. Any changes to the EMPl and/or environmental authorisation cannot occur without being submitted to the SANRAL who will manage the process of amending the EMPl. The EMPl identifies the following: - Relevant parties and their responsibilities; - Construction activities that will impact on the environment; - Specifications with which the contractor shall comply in order to protect the environment from the identified impacts; and - Actions that shall be taken in the event of non-compliance. C1002 DEFINITIONS Alien Vegetation: undesirable plant growth which includes, but is not limited to all declared category 1 and 2 listed invader species as set out in the Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (CARA), 1983 regulations. Other vegetation deemed to be alien are those plant species that show the potential to occupy in number, any area within the defined construction area and which are declared to be undesirable. Construction Activity: any action taken by the contractor, his sub-contractors, suppliers or personnel during the construction process as defined in the contract documents. Environment: the surroundings within which the contract exists and comprises land, water, atmosphere, micro-organisms, plant and animal life (including humans) in any part or combination thereof as well as any physical, chemical, aesthetic or cultural inter-relationship among and between them.. Environmental Aspect: any component of a contractor’s construction activity that is likely to interact with the environment. Environmental authorisation: a written statement from the National Department of Environmental Affairs, (DEA), with the general and specific conditions and the EMPr recording its approval of an application for a planned undertaking that triggers listed activities


in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA). Environmental Impact: any change to the environment, whether desirable or undesirable, that will result from the effect of a construction activity. An impact may be the direct or indirect consequence of a construction activity. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): a systematic process of identifying, assessing and reporting environmental impacts associated with an activity and includes basic assessment and scoping and environmental impact reporting. Environmental Management Programme (EMPr): the embodiment of this EMPl to ensure that undue or reasonably avoidable adverse impacts of a development are prevented, and to ensure that positive impacts are enhanced. It thus addresses the how, when, who, where and what of integrating environmental mitigation and monitoring measures through identified projects. Road Reserve: a corridor of land, defined by co-ordinates and/or proclamation, within which the road, including access intersections or interchanges, is situated. A road reserve may, or may not, be bounded by a fence. Site; the site is defined in the FIDIC Conditions of Contract and in the scope of works. It is bound by the limits of construction as shown in the drawings or the title of the project and extends to also include the following: - Areas outside the construction zones where accommodation of traffic is placed; - All borrowpits defined in the applications approved by the relevant Department of Mineral Resources (DMR); - All haul roads constructed by the contractor for purposes of access; - Any non-adjacent sites specified in the contract documentation; - The contractor’s and his subcontractors’ camp sites; for the purposes of this EMPl includes areas outside of, but adjacent to, the road reserve that may be affected by construction activities; Spoil material: is material unsuitable for construction of the road pavement and for which no other useful purpose can be found in additional works on the project (e.g. for the provision of protection berms). Such material requires spoiling at convenient areas to be identified by the engineer and/or contractor within the Site. Spoil material does not require removal to a designated landfill site unless it contains identifiable hazardous contaminants. C1003 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (a) General Construction shall be according to the best industry practices, as identified in the project documents. This EMPl, which forms an integral part of the contract documents, informs the contractor as to his duties in the fulfilment of the project objectives, with particular reference to the prevention and mitigation of environmental impacts caused by construction activities associated with the project. The contractor should note that obligations imposed by the EMPl are legally binding in terms of this contract. In the event that any rights and obligations contained in this EMPl contradict those specified in the standard or project specifications then the latter shall prevail. (b) Statutory and other applicable legislation


The contractor is deemed to have made himself conversant with all legislation pertaining to the environment, including provincial and local government ordinances, which may be applicable to the contract. Major environmental legislation, as amended from time to time, includes but is not limited to the following: (i) Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (Act No. 43 of 1983) This act provides for control over the utilisation of the natural agricultural resources of South Africa in order to promote the conservation of soil, water sources and vegetation, as well as combating weeds and invader plants. (ii) The Constitution (Act 6 of 1996) The Constitution states that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being, and to have the environment protected through reasonable legislative and other measures to prevent pollution and ecological degradation; promote conservation and ensure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources. (iii) Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act No. 28 of 2002) This act makes provision for equitable access to, and sustainable development of, minerals and petroleum resources. (iv) National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), (Act No. 107 of 1998) This act supports the Bill of Rights within the Constitution and highlights principles of sustainable development including preservation of ecosystems and biological diversity and avoidance, minimisation and remediation of pollution and environmental degradation. It also sets the stage for the EIA Regulations. (v) National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Act No. 39 of 2004) This act provides reasonable measures for the prevention of pollution and ecological degradation; and provides for specific air quality measures; for national norms and standards regulating air quality monitoring, management and control by all spheres of government. (vi) National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (Act No. 10 of 2004) This act makes provisions to accomplish the objectives of the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity. SANRAL may be required to apply for permits to conduct certain listed activities which, together with the listed threatened or protected species, may be identified by the Minister. Section 73 (3) of this act empowers a competent authority to direct a person to take steps to remedy any harm to biodiversity resulting from the actions of that person or as a result of occurrence of listed invasive species occurring on land on which that person is the owner. Thus SANRAL may be directed to remedy harm caused by listed invasive species. (vii) National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act (Act No. 57 of 2003) This act provides for the protection and conservation of ecologically viable areas


representative of South Africa’s biological diversity, natural landscapes and seascapes. (viii) National Environmental Management: Waste Act (Act No. 59 of 2008) This act aims to regulate waste management practices through provision of national norms and standards, specific waste measures, licensing and control of waste activities, remediation of contaminated land as well as providing for compliance and law enforcement. (ix) National Forests Act (Act No. 84 of 1998) This act makes provision for promoting the sustainable management and development of forests, and for the protection of certain forests and trees for environmental, economic, educational, recreational, cultural, health and spiritual purposes. (x) National Heritage Resources Act (Act No. 25 of 1999) This act provides for an integrated and interactive system for identification, assessment and management of South Africa’s heritage resources, and empowers civil society to nurture and conserve their heritage resources. (xi) National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998) This act makes provision for the protection of surface water and groundwater and their sustainable management for the prevention and remediation of the effects of pollution, as well as for the management of emergency situations. (x) The South African National Roads Agency Limited and National Roads Act (Act No. 7 of 1998) C1004 ADMINISTRATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS Copies of this EMPl shall be kept at the site office and must be distributed to all senior contract personnel who shall familiarise themselves with its contents. Implementation of this EMPl requires the involvement of several stakeholders, each fulfilling a different but vital role as outlined herein, to ensure sound environmental management during the construction phase of a project. (a) SANRAL SANRAL and anyone acting on SANRAL’s behalf is accountable for the potential environmental impacts of any activities that are undertaken and is responsible for managing these impacts. (b) The Engineer The engineer has been appointed by, and acts for, SANRAL as its on-site implementing agent and carries the responsibility to ensure that the contractor undertakes its construction activities in such a way that SANRAL’s environmental responsibilities are not compromised. The engineer will, within seven days of receiving a contractor’s request for approval of a nominated Designated Environmental Officer (DEO), approve, reject or call for more information on the nomination. The engineer will be responsible for issuing instructions to the DEO where environmental considerations call for action to be taken.


If in the opinion of the engineer the DEO is not fulfilling his/her duties in terms of this EMPl, the engineer may, after discussion and agreement with SANRAL, exercise his powers under FIDIC general condition of contract and instruct replacement of the DEO in writing and with stated reasons. (c) The Contractor The contractor is responsible for project delivery in accordance with the prescribed specifications, among which this EMPl shall be included. The contractor shall receive and implement any instruction issued by the engineer relating to compliance with the EMPl including the removal of personnel or equipment. Compliance with the provisions contained herein or any condition imposed by the environmental approvals shall become the responsibility of the contractor through an approved Designated Environmental Officer (DEO). The contractor shall nominate a person from among his site personnel to fulfil this function and submit to the engineer for his approval the curriculum vitae of the proposed DEO. This request for approval shall be given, in writing, at least fourteen days before the commencement of any construction activity clearly setting out reasons for the nomination, and with sufficient detail to enable the engineer to make a decision. (d) The Designated/Dedicated Environmental Officer (DEO) Once a nominated representative of the contractor has been approved he/she shall become the DEO and shall be the responsible person for ensuring that the provisions of this EMPl are complied with during the life of the contract. The DEO shall submit regular written reports to the engineer, but not less frequently than once a month. The DEO may undertake other construction duties unless the Appendix to Tender prescribes this position as ‘dedicated’ as opposed to the standard position being ‘designated’. However, the DEO’s environmental duties shall hold primacy over other contractual duties and the engineer has the authority to instruct the contractor to reduce the DEO’s other duties or to replace the DEO if, in the engineer’s opinion, he/she is not fulfilling his/her duties in terms of the requirements of this EMPl. Such instruction will be in writing clearly setting out the reasons why a replacement is required. As a minimum the DEO shall have an accredited diploma qualification in environmental or natural sciences or equivalent and a minimum of 2 years’ experience in a similar role in construction or other environmental regulatory field. In addition to the compliance duties relating to EMPl the DEO shall also provide full cooperation whenever the contractor is subjected to regular environmental audits. (Note to compiler: the environmental sensitivity of the project will dictate whether the approved DEO should be able to assume other construction duties, or should be a dedicated officer with no other encumbrances. Such decisions will need to be made in conjunction with the relevant project manager and the Appendix to Tender appropriately completed). (e) Environmental Control Officer (ECO) The Environmental Control Officer (ECO) is an independent environmental specialist appointed by the engineer to objectively and regularly monitor the contractor’s compliance with the conditions of the authorisations issued for the project and the approved EMPr (that is this EMPl augmented with specifics of the project). These are external audits and the regularity is determined by the environmental authorisations..


C1005 TRAINING (a) Qualifications The (DEO) shall have the minimum qualifications as prescribed above, and must be conversant with all legislation pertaining to the environment applicable to the contract. He/she must be appropriately trained in environmental management and possess the skills necessary to impart environmental management skills to all personnel involved in the contract. The contractor shall ensure that adequate environmental training takes place. All employees shall have been given an induction presentation on environmental awareness. Where possible, the presentation needs to be conducted in the language of the employees. (b) Content Apart from induction environmental training should, as a minimum, include the course content below and no induction or course should be given until the engineer has been afforded the opportunity to appraise it and provide comment. (i) The importance of conformance with all environmental policies and the consequences of departure from standard operating procedures; (ii) Environmental impacts, actual or potential, caused by work activities, prevention measures to avoid them and mitigation measures when they occur; (iii) Work force roles and responsibilities in achieving conformance with the environmental policy and procedures, including emergency preparedness and response requirements; and (iv) The environmental benefits of improved personnel performance. (c) Induction In the case of permanent staff the contractor shall provide evidence that such induction courses have been presented. In the case of new staff (including contract labour) the contractor shall inform the engineer when and how he intends concluding his environmental training obligations. C1006 ACTIVITIES/ASPECTS CAUSING IMPACTS Typical environmental aspects and impacts associated with road construction are listed in Table 1: Aspects and Impacts Associated with Road Construction. Actual impacts will differ from project to project and, therefore, so may the mitigation measures employed. The commonest aspects and impacts are addressed separately and typical avoidance and/or mitigation measures described. The list and descriptions are not by any means exhaustive and they shall be used for guideline purposes only.


Table 1: Aspects and Impacts Associated with Road Construction Aspect Impact Waste generation/storage Water pollution; nuisance; visual impact Water use and stormwater discharge Change in flow regime and/or reduction in downstream availability; soil erosion: water pollution Vehicle use and maintenance Air pollution; noise Chemical/fuel storage Water/air/soil pollution; health impacts; accidents e.g. spills, fire Site clearing; earthworks; layer-works; seal works Change in landform; impact on heritage resources; noise; soil erosion; air pollution River bridges; installing drainage structures Water pollution; impact on river flows; noise Land acquisition Loss of land &/or livelihood; change in landuse; Acquisition of building material from borrow pits Change in landform and use (a) General approach The role of the DEO cannot be underestimated and once approved he/she shall be on the site at all times, and before the contractor begins each construction activity he/she shall give to the engineer a written statement setting out the following: (i) The type of construction activity about to be started. (ii) Locality where the activity will take place. (iii) Identification of the environmental aspects and impacts that might result from the activity. (iv) The methodology of impact prevention for each activity or aspect. (v) The methodology of impact containment for each activity or aspect. (vi) Identification of the emergency/disaster potential for each activity (if any) and the reaction procedures necessary to mitigate impact severity. (vii) Treatment and continued maintenance of impacted environment. The contractor shall programme his work in such a way that each cause and effect of a construction activity is also identified and the activity planned so as to prevent any impact from happening and shall demonstrate that he is capable of carrying out any repair and reinstatement of the damaged environment. These requirements shall be concurrent with the time constraints to produce method statements for each construction activity in compliance with the provisions of these project specifications. The contractor shall provide such information in advance of any or all construction activities provided that new submissions shall be given to the engineer whenever there is a change or variation to the original. The engineer may provide comment on the methodology and procedures proposed by the


DEO, but he shall not be responsible for the contractor’s chosen measures of impact mitigation and emergency/disaster management systems. However, the contractor shall demonstrate at inception and at least once during the contract that the approved measures and procedures function properly. (b) Spillages Streams, rivers and dams shall be protected from direct or indirect spillage of pollutants such as refuse, garbage, cement, concrete, sewage, chemicals, fuels, oils, aggregate, tailings, wash water, organic materials and bituminous products. In the event of a spillage, the contractor shall be liable to arrange for professional service providers to clear the affected area. Responsibility for spill containment and treatment (whether hazardous or not) lies with the contractor. The individual causing a spill, or who discovers a spill, must report the incident to his/her DEO or to the engineer. The DEO will assess the situation in consultation with the engineer and act as required. In all cases, the immediate response shall be to contain the spill. The exact treatment of polluted soil / water shall be determined by the contractor in consultation with the DEO and the engineer. Areas cleared of hazardous waste shall be re-vegetated according to the engineer’s instructions. Should water downstream of the spill be polluted, and fauna and flora show signs of deterioration or death, specialist hydrological or ecological advice will be sought for appropriate treatment and remedial procedures to be followed. The requirement for such input shall be agreed with the engineer. The costs of containment and rehabilitation shall be for the contractor’s account, including the costs of specialist input as well as the sampling and testing of the water quality upstream and downstream of the spill. Water quality sampling and testing, and further treatment shall continue until upstream and downstream results correspond with each other. (c) Water use and control The contractor’s use of water shall take into consideration that it is a scarce commodity, and shall be optimised. Authorisation shall be obtained from the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) before water is drawn from streams or new boreholes developed. The contractor shall also ensure that any stream deviations or diversions are undertaken in such a manner that the impact on the environment is minimised. Method statements shall be submitted to the engineer for comment, detailing how the work will be undertaken, what risks are foreseen and what measures will be employed to minimise such risks. Notwithstanding any comments by the engineer, work on stream deviations or diversions shall be undertaken in accordance with the General Authorisation. The quality, quantity and flow direction of any surface water runoff shall be established prior to disturbing any area for construction purposes. Cognisance shall be taken of these aspects and incorporated into the planning of all construction activities. Before a site is developed or expanded, it shall be established how this development or expansion will affect the drainage pattern. Recognised water users / receivers shall not be adversely affected by the expansion or re-development. No water source shall be polluted in any way due to proposed changes. Streams, rivers, pans, wetlands, dams, and their catchments shall be protected from erosion and flooding by dredging, daylighting, removal of debris and vegetation, etc. These shall also be protected from direct or indirect spillage of pollutants such as refuse, garbage, cement, concrete, sewage, chemicals, fuels, oils, aggregate, tailings, wash water, organic materials and bituminous products. The contractor shall submit to the engineer his proposals for prevention, containment and


rehabilitation measures against environmental damage of the identified water and drainage systems that occur on the site. Consideration shall be given to the placement of sedimentation ponds or barriers where the soils are of a dispersive nature or where toxic fluids are used in the construction process. The sedimentation ponds must be large enough to contain runoff so that they function properly under heavy rain conditions up to 1:5 year severity. The contractor shall submit to the engineer the results of the baseline water quality test taken above and below the site of the proposed activity; and thereafter monthly testing results or at the frequency as may be specified by the Water Use Licence / General Authorisation where applicable. No taking-over can be authorised until the water quality is shown to be at pre-construction levels or better. (d) Vegetation management The contractor shall be responsible for the management of vegetation by protection of indigenous vegetation, especially identified protected species, and the prevention of alien vegetation germinating in areas disturbed by road construction activities within and outside the road reserve. This includes, for example, service roads, stockpile areas, stop/go facilities, windrows and wherever material generated for or from road construction has been stored temporarily. This responsibility shall continue for the duration of the defects notification period. The project specification may instruct the removal of CARA and/or NEMBA-listed category 1 and 2 alien species and planting of specified indigenous species. (e) Dust control Dust caused by construction activities shall be controlled by means such as water spray vehicles and applied at sufficient frequency so as not to cause nuisance to adjacent habitation or affect farming activities or natural vegetation. Vegetation cover should also be kept for as long as possible to reduce the area of exposed surfaces. Dust emissions from batching and screening plants shall be subject to the relevant legislation and shall be the subject of inspection by the relevant authorities. (f) Noise control The contractor shall endeavour to keep noise generating activities to a minimum. Noises that could cause a major disturbance, for instance blasting and crushing activities, should only be carried out during the hours prescribed by the conditions of contract (i.e. normal hours). Should such noise generating activities have to occur at any time outside normal hours the people in the vicinity of the noise-generating activity shall be warned about the noise well in advance and the activities kept to a minimum. Relevant legislation shall also be taken into consideration, and any practical mitigation measures adopted. No noise generating activity outside of normal hours, regardless of its proximity to residences, can take place without application to the engineer for approval. The application shall be accompanied by the noise containment measures proposed. (g) Energy consumption The contractor shall take into consideration the impacts of high energy consumption, both from a cost and emissions point of view. Energy use shall be minimised, and where possible, alternative energy sources such as solar utilised. Furthermore, the contractor shall undertake a study of the consumption of carbon units his chosen method of construction produces in the execution of his programme. In conjunction with the engineer who will provide complete cooperation in this study, a month by month output shall be compiled and efforts made to see how these outputs can be curtailed and reduced.


C1007 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES The contractor shall undertake “good housekeeping” practices during construction as stated in the COLTO Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges and the FIDIC conditions of contract. This will help avoid disputes on responsibility and allow for the smooth running of the contract as a whole. Good housekeeping extends beyond the wise practice of construction methods that leaves production in a safe state from the ravages of weather to include the care for and preservation of the environment within which the site is situated. The construction activities addressed below shall become part of the contractor’s obligations regarding his programme of work and incorporated into the required method statements for workmanship and quality control. a) Site establishment i) Site Plan The site refers to an area with defined limits on which the project is located. The contractor shall establish his construction camps, offices, workshops, staff accommodation and testing facilities on the site in a manner that does not adversely affect the environment. However, before any site establishment can begin, the contractor shall submit to the the ECO for his/her comments and to the engineer for his approval, plans of the exact location, extent and construction details of these facilities and the impact mitigation measures the contractor proposes to put in place. The plans shall detail the locality as well as the layout of the waste management facilities for litter, kitchen refuse, sewage and workshop-derived effluents. The site offices should not be sited in close proximity to steep areas, as this will increase soil erosion. Preferred locations would be flat areas along the route. If the route traverses water courses, streams and rivers, it is recommended that the offices, and in particular the ablution facilities, aggregate stockpiles, spoil areas and hazardous material stockpiles are located as far away as possible from any water course. No camp establishment, including satellite camps, can be placed within 150 metres of an identified wetland unless the contractor has applied to DWS and received authorisation to do so. Regardless of the chosen site, the contractor’s intended mitigation measures shall be indicated on the plan. The site plan shall have been submitted and approved before establishment commences. Detailed, electronic colour photographs shall be taken of the proposed site before any clearing may commence. These records are to be kept by the ECO and the engineer for consultation during rehabilitation of the site in order that rehabilitation is, as a minimum, done to a standard similar to pre-construction activities. ii) Vegetation The contractor has a responsibility to inform his staff of the need to be vigilant against any practice that will have a harmful effect on vegetation. The natural vegetation encountered on the site is to be conserved and left as intact as possible. Vegetation planted at the site shall be indigenous and in accordance with instructions issued by the engineer. Only trees and shrubs directly affected by the works, and such others as may be indicated by the engineer in writing, may be felled or cleared. In wooded areas where natural vegetation has been cleared out of necessity, the same species of indigenous trees as were occurring shall be re-established. Protected trees may not be removed without a permit from the Department of


Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Contravention of a notice of listed protected tree species under the National Forests Act, 1998 is regarded as a first category offence that may result in a fine or imprisonment for a period up to three years, or to both a fine and imprisonment. The DEO must be conversant with the latest gazette of declared protected trees. Rehabilitation shall be undertaken using only indigenous tree, shrub and grass species. Special attention shall be given to any search and rescue operation identified during the environmental assessment process, and any removal to an on site nursery for continuous nurturing and protection and later replanting. Any proclaimed weed or alien species that propagates during the contract period shall be cleared by hand before seeding. Fires shall only be allowed in facilities or equipment specially constructed for this purpose. The need for a firebreak shall be determined in consultation with the Engineer and the relevant authorities, and if required a firebreak shall be cleared and maintained around the perimeter of the camp and office sites. iii) Water management Water for human consumption shall be available at the site offices and at other convenient locations on site. All effluent water from the camp / office sites shall be disposed of in a properly designed and constructed system, situated so as not to adversely affect water sources (streams, rivers, pans, dams etc). Only domestic type wastewater shall be allowed to enter this system. iv) Heating and cooking fuel The contractor shall provide adequate facilities for his staff so that they are not encouraged to supplement their comforts on site by accessing what can be taken from the natural surroundings. The contractor shall ensure that energy sources are available at all times for construction and supervision personnel for heating and cooking purposes. b) Sewage management Particular reference in the site establishment plan shall be given to the treatment of sewage generated at the site offices, site laboratory and staff accommodation and at all localities on the site where there will be a concentration of labour. Sanitary arrangements should be to the satisfaction of the engineer, the local authorities and legal requirements. Safe and effective sewage treatment will require one of the following sewage handling methods: septic tanks and soak-aways, dry-composting toilets such as “enviro loos”, or the use of chemical toilets which are supplied and maintained by a specialist service provider. The type of sewage management will depend on the geology of the area selected, the duration of the contract and proximity (availability) of providers of chemical toilets. Should a soak-away system be used, it shall not be closer than 800 metres from any natural water course or water retention system. The waste material generated from these facilities shall be serviced on a regular basis. The positioning of the chemical toilets shall be done in consultation with the engineer. Toilets and latrines shall be easily accessible and shall be positioned within walking distance from wherever employees are employed on the works. Use of the veld for this purpose shall


not, under any circumstances, be allowed. Outside toilets shall be provided with locks and doors and shall be secured to prevent them from blowing over. The toilets shall also be placed outside areas susceptible to flooding. The contractor shall arrange for regular emptying of toilets and shall be entirely responsible for enforcing their use and for maintaining such latrines in a clean, orderly and sanitary condition to the satisfaction of the Engineer. c) Waste management The contractor’s intended methods for waste management shall be outlined and implemented at the outset of the contract, and shall be to the satisfaction of the engineer. Opportunities for avoiding, reducing, reusing and recycling of materials should be identified upfront, as should constraints for their implementation. All personnel shall be instructed to dispose of all waste in the proper manner. i) Solid waste Solid waste shall be stored in an appointed area in covered, tip-proof metal drums or similar container for collection and disposal. Disposal of solid waste shall be at a licensed landfill site or at a site approved by the relevant authority in the event that an existing operating landfill site is not within reasonable distance from the project area. No waste shall be burned or buried at or near the project area. ii) Litter No littering by construction workers shall be allowed and particular emphasis on litter control measures shall apply at stop/go facilities. During the construction period, the various contractor’s facilities shall be maintained in a neat and tidy condition and the site shall be kept free of litter. At all places of work the contractor shall provide litter collection facilities for later safe disposal at approved sites. iii) Hazardous waste Hazardous waste such as oils shall be disposed of at an approved landfill site. Special care shall be taken to avoid spillage of bitumen products such as binders or pre-coating fluid to avoid water-soluble phenols from entering the ground or contaminating surface water. Under no circumstances shall the spoiling of bituminous products on the site, over embankments, in borrow pits or any burying, be allowed. Unused or rejected bituminous products shall be returned to the supplier’s production plant. Any spillage of bituminous products shall be attended to immediately and affected areas shall be promptly reinstated to the satisfaction of the engineer. iv) Construction and demolition waste The opportunity for recycling and reuse of construction and demolition waste as fill for road embankments, land reclamation and drainage control must first be explored and take priority before the option of declaring these materials a ‘waste’. The contractor is encouraged to actively engage with authorities and landowners adjacent to the site and identify where such ‘waste’ materials can be usefully deployed to repair existing environmentally damaged areas such as erosion dongas.


d) Control at the workshop The contractor’s management and maintenance of his plant and machinery will be monitored according to the criteria given below: i) Hazardous Material Storage Petrochemicals, oils and identified hazardous substances shall only be stored under controlled conditions. All hazardous materials such as bitumen binders shall be stored in a secured, appointed area that is suitably fenced, bunded and has restricted entry. Storage of bituminous products shall only take place using suitable containers to the approval of the ECO and the engineer. The contractor shall provide proof to the engineer that relevant authorisation to store such substances has been obtained from the relevant authority. In addition, hazard signs indicating the nature of the stored materials shall be displayed on the storage facility or containment structure. Before containment or storage facilities can be erected the contractor shall furnish the engineer with details of the preventative measures he proposes to install in order to mitigate pollution of the surrounding environment from leaks or spillage. The preferred method shall be a concrete floor that is bunded. Any deviation from the method will require proof from the relevant authority that the alternative method proposed is acceptable to that authority. The proposals shall also indicate the emergency procedures in the event of misuse or spillage that will negatively affect an individual or the environment. ii) Fuel and gas storage The contractor shall take cognisance of the limits set by legislation for the storage of fuels and acquire the necessary authorisation for storage capacity beyond these. An adequate bund wall, 110% of volume, shall be provided for fuel and diesel areas to accommodate any leakage spillage or overflow of these substances. The area inside the bund wall shall be lined with an impervious lining to prevent infiltration of the fuel into the soil. Any leakage, spillage or overflow of fuel shall be attended to without delay. Gas welding cylinders and LPG cylinders shall be stored chained in a secure, well-ventilated area exterior to any building wall. iv) Oil and lubricant waste Used oil, lubricants and cleaning materials from the maintenance of vehicles and machinery shall be collected in a holding tank and sent back to the supplier. Water and oil should be separated in an oil trap. Oils collected in this manner, shall be retained in a safe holding tank and removed from site by a specialist oil recycling company for disposal at approved waste disposal sites for toxic/hazardous materials. Oil collected by a mobile servicing unit shall be stored in the service unit’s sludge tank and discharged into the safe holding tank for collection by the specialist oil recycling company. All used filter materials shall be stored in a secure bin for disposal off site. Any contaminated soil shall be removed and replaced. Soils contaminated by oils and lubricants shall be collected and disposed of at a facility designated by the local authority to accept contaminated materials.


e) Clearing the site In all areas where the Contractor intends to, or is required to clear the natural vegetation and soil, either within the road reserve, or at designated or instructed areas outside the road reserve, a plan of action shall first be submitted to the Engineer for his approval. Working areas shall be clearly defined and demarcated on site to minimise the construction footprint. ‘No-go- areas’ and other sensitive areas shall also be clearly demarcated on site, and staff must be made aware of them. The plan of action shall contain a photographic record and chainage/land reference of the areas to be disturbed. This shall be submitted to the engineer for his records before any disturbance/stockpiling may occur. The record shall be comprehensive and clear, allowing for easy identification during inspections. f) Soil management i) Topsoil Topsoil shall be removed from all areas where physical disturbance of the surface will occur and shall be stored and adequately protected. The contract will provide for the stripping and stockpiling of topsoil from the site for later re-use. Topsoil is considered to be the natural soil covering, including all the vegetation and organic matter. Depth may vary at each site. The areas to be cleared of topsoil shall include all storage areas. All topsoil stockpiles and windrows shall be maintained throughout the contract period in a weed-free condition. Weeds appearing on the stockpiled or windrowed topsoil shall be removed by hand. Soils contaminated by hazardous substances shall be disposed of at an approved waste disposal site. The topsoil stockpiles shall be stored, shaped and sited in such a way that they do not interfere with the flow of water to cause damming or erosion, or itself be eroded by the action of water. The Contractor shall ensure that no topsoil is lost due to erosion – either by wind or water. Areas to be top-soiled and grassed shall be done so systematically to allow for quick cover and reduction in the chance of heavy topsoil losses due to unusual weather patterns. The Contractor’s programme shall clearly show the proposed rate of progress of the application of topsoil and grassing. The Contractor shall be held responsible for the replacement, at his own cost, for any unnecessary loss of topsoil due to his failure to work according to the progress plan approved by the Engineer. The Contractor’s responsibility shall also extend to the clearing of drainage or water systems within and beyond the boundaries of the road reserve that may have been affected by such negligence. ii) Subsoil The subsoil is the layer of soil immediately beneath the topsoil. It shall be removed, to a depth instructed by the engineer, and if not used for road building it shall be stored and maintained separately from the topsoil so that neither stockpile is contaminated by the other. This soil shall be used for rehabilitation purposes by first spreading it over the excavated slopes without interfering with or contaminating the stockpiled topsoil. Whilst in stockpile it shall be maintained free from erosion and weed infestation in the same way as for topsoil stockpile maintenance. g) Earthworks and layerworks This section includes all construction activities that involve the mining of all materials, and their subsequent placement, stockpile, spoil, treatment or batching, for use in the permanent works, or temporary works in the case of deviations. Before any stripping prior to the commencement of construction, the Contractor shall have complied with the


requirements of of this EMPl. In addition, the Contractor shall take cognisance of the requirements set out below. i) Quarries and borrow pits The Contractor’s attention is drawn to the requirement of the Department of Mineral Resources, that before entry into any quarry or borrow pit, an Environmental Authorisation for the establishment, operation and closure of a quarry or borrow pit shall have been approved by the Department. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that he is in possession of the authorisation prior to entry into the quarry or borrow pit. The conditions imposed by the relevant authorisation are legally binding on the Contractor and may be more extensive and explicit than the requirements of this specification. In the event of any conflict occurring between the requirements of the specific authorisation and this EMPl the former shall apply. ii) Excavation, hauling and placement The Contractor shall provide the ECO and the Engineer with detailed plans of his intended construction processes prior to starting any cut or fill or layer. The plans shall detail measures by which the impacts of pollution (noise, dust, litter, fuel, oil and sewage), erosion, vegetation destruction and deformation of landscape will be prevented, contained and rehabilitated. Particular attention shall also be given to the impact that such activities will have on the adjacent built environment. The Contractor shall demonstrate his “good housekeeping”, particularly with respect to closure at the end of every day so that the site is left in a safe condition. iii) Spoil sites The Contractor shall be responsible for the safe siting, operation, maintenance and closure of any spoil site he uses during the contract period, including the defects notification period. This shall include existing spoil sites that are being re-entered. Before spoil sites may be used proposals for their locality, intended method of operation, maintenance and rehabilitation shall be given to the ECO for his/her comments and to the Engineer for his approval. The location of these spoil sites shall have signed approval from the affected landowner before submission to the ECO and the Engineer. No spoil site shall be located within 500m of any watercourse. A photographic record shall be kept of all spoil sites for monitoring purposes. This includes before the site is used and after re-vegetation. The use of approved spoil sites for the disposal of any waste shall be prohibited. Spoil sites will be shaped to fit the natural topography. Depending on availability, these sites shall receive a minimum of 75mm topsoil and be grassed with the recommended seed mixture. Appropriate grassing measures to minimise soil erosion shall be undertaken by the Contractor. This may include both strip and full sodding. The Contractor may motivate to the Engineer for other acceptable stabilising methods. The engineer may only approve a completed spoil site at the end of the defects notification period upon receipt from the Contractor of a landowner’s clearance notice. . iv) Stockpiles The contractor shall plan his activities so that materials excavated from borrow pits and cuttings, in so far as possible, can be transported direct to and placed at the point where it is to be used. However, should temporary stockpiling become necessary, the areas for the stockpiling of excavated and imported material shall be indicated and demarcated on the site plan submitted in writing to the Engineer for his approval. The contractor s proposed measures for prevention of environmental damage, containment and subsequent rehabilitation shall also be submitted.


The areas chosen shall have no naturally occurring indigenous trees and shrubs present that may be damaged during operations. Care shall be taken to preserve all vegetation in the immediate area of these temporary stockpiles. During the life of the stockpiles the Contractor shall at all times ensure that they are positioned and sloped to create the least visual impact, constructed and maintained so as to avoid erosion of the material and contamination of surrounding environment and kept free from all alien/undesirable vegetation. After the stockpiled material has been removed, the site shall be re-instated to its original condition. No foreign material generated / deposited during construction shall remain on site. Areas affected by stockpiling shall be landscaped, top soiled, grassed and maintained at the Contractor’s cost until clearance from the Engineer and land owner is received. Material milled from the existing road surface that is temporarily stockpiled in areas approved by the Engineer within the road reserve, shall be subject to the same condition as other stockpiled materials. Excess materials from windrows, in situ milling or any leftover material from road construction activities may not be swept off the road and left unless specifically instructed to do so in the contract documentation or under instruction from the Engineer. The ECO shall comment on and the engineer shall approve the areas for stockpiling and disposal of construction rubble before any operation commences and shall approve their closure only when they have been satisfactorily rehabilitated. v) Blasting activities Wherever blasting activity is required on the site (including quarries and/or borrow pits) the Contractor shall rigorously adhere to the relevant statutes and regulations that control the use of explosives. h) On site plant i) Crusher, screening plants and concrete batching plants Crushing plants and concrete batching plants, whether sited inside or outside of defined quarry or borrow pit areas, shall be subject to the requirements of the applicable industrial legislation that governs gas and dust emissions into the atmosphere. Such sites will be the subject of regular inspections by the relative authorities during the life of the project. In addition, the selection, entry onto, operation, maintenance, closure and rehabilitation of such sites shall be the same as for those under section C1007(g)(i) of this EMPl, with the exception that the Contractor shall provide additional measures to prevent, contain and rehabilitate against environmental damage from toxic/hazardous substances. In this regard the Contractor shall provide plans that take into account such additional measures as concrete floors, bunded storage facilities, linings to drainage channels and settlement dams. Ultimate approval of these measures shall be from the relevant authority, as shall approval of closure. The Engineer will assist the Contractor in his applications to the relevant authority. Screening activities shall be undertaken so that dust and noise is minimised. This can be done by carefully choosing the site for the activity, and by using slightly damp material. Effluent from concrete batch plants and crusher plants shall be reused where possible or treated in a suitable designated sedimentation dam to the legally required standards to prevent surface and groundwater pollution. The designs of such a facility should be


submitted to the engineer for approval. ii) Asphalt Plant Asphalt plants shall be subject to the applicable legislation that governs establishment and operation of batching plants.. The Contractor shall be responsible to obtain the necessary permit from the relevant authority. (Note to compiler: If this option forms part of the planned design implementation then consideration must be given to an extended Time for Completion in order to allow the contractor to acquire the necessary authorisations.) Operation of the plant shall conform to the same requirements as for a crushing plant or concrete batching plant under C1007 (h) (i) above. C1008 AREAS OF SPECIFIC IMPORTANCE Any area, as determined and identified within the project documents as sensitive or of special interest within the site shall be treated according to the express instructions contained in these specifications or the specific environmental authorisation as well as the approved EMPr. The Contractor may offer alternative solutions to the Engineer in writing should he consider that construction will be affected in any way by the hindrance of the designated sensitive area or feature. However, the overriding principle is that such defined areas requiring protection should not be changed. Every effort to identify such areas within the site will have been made prior to the project going out to tender. The discovery of other sites with archaeological or historical interest that have not been identified shall receive ad hoc treatment. Note to compiler: During the design stage it is incumbent on the design engineer to undertake research in order to identify such areas of special importance, and where identified, they shall be given prominence in this section of the project specifications. Particularly the services of the South African Heritage Resource Agency (SAHRA) and the provincial equivalent authority, if any, shall be sought when research is undertaken. a) Archaeological sites If an artefact on site is uncovered, work in the immediate vicinity shall be stopped immediately. The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions to prevent any person from removing or damaging any such article and shall immediately upon discovery thereof inform the engineer of such discovery. The South African Heritage Resource Agency (SAHRA) is to be contacted, and a SAHRA-registered archaeological consultant may undertake the necessary work involved in confirming the find and advising on how it should be preserved or removed. Work may only resume once clearance is given in writing by the archaeologist. (Read with FIDIC condition of contract clause 4.24 as). If a grave or midden is uncovered on site, or, then all work in the immediate vicinity of the graves/middens shall be stopped and the engineer informed of the discovery. The South African Heritage Resource Agency and the South African Police Services (SAPS) should be contacted and in the case of graves, arrangements made for an undertaker to carry out exhumation and reburial. The undertaker will, together with SAHRA, be responsible for attempts to contact family of the deceased and for the place where the exhumed remains can be re-interred.


C1009 REHABILITATION The Contractor shall be responsible for the re-establishment of grass within the road reserve boundaries for all areas disturbed during construction. This includes, for example, service roads, stockpile areas, stop/go facilities, windrows and wherever material generated for, or from, construction has to be stored temporarily, and designated or instructed areas outside the road reserve. It also includes the area where site offices were erected which may require rehabilitation at the end of the contract. All construction material, including concrete slabs and barbecue (braai) areas shall be removed from the site on completion of the contract unless written approval from the relevant landowner demonstrates it is to be left in place. Responsibility for re-establishment of vegetation shall extend until expiry of the defects notification period. However, SANRAL reserves the right to continue holding retention monies (or not releasing guarantees in lieu of retention) depending upon the state of cover at the end of the defects notification period. Such extension may continue until closure of the relevant quarry or borrow pit has been secured, Rehabilitation of affected areas should be undertaken as early as possible when the relevant activities are done in order to reduce further environmental damage. All re-vegetation should be undertaken using indigenous vegetation. The standard of rehabilitation should be to the satisfaction of the Engineer and the relevant authorities. The Department of Minerals Resources will only issue closure certificates for borrow pits and quarries when they are satisfied with the rehabilitation undertaken. It should also be noted that in some cases there is a requirement for a final environmental audit covering the extent of the project. C1010 RECORD KEEPING The Engineer and the DEO will continuously monitor the contractor’s adherence to the approved impact prevention procedures and the DEO shall submit regular written reports to the ECO and to the Engineer, at least once a month. The DEO will report the environmental compliance performance of the project at regular site meetings. The Engineer shall issue to the Contractor a notice of non-compliance whenever transgressions are observed. The DEO shall document the nature and magnitude of the non-compliance in a designated register, the action taken to discontinue the non-compliance, the action taken to mitigate its effects and the results of the actions. The non-compliance shall be documented and reported to the engineer in the monthly report. Copies of all authorisations shall be kept on site and made available for inspection by visiting officials from SANRAL, relevant authorities or internal/external auditors. C1011 COMPLIANCE AND PENALTIES The Contractor shall act immediately when a notice of non-compliance is received and correct whatever is the cause for the issuing of the notice. Complaints received regarding activities on the construction site pertaining to the environment shall be recorded in a dedicated register and the response noted with the date and action taken. This record shall be submitted with the monthly reports and an oral report given at the monthly site meetings. Any non-compliance/ommissions with the procedures in this EMPl, environmental authorisations and approved EMPr constitute a breach of the Conditions of Contract. Regulatory financial penalties imposed on SANRAL shall be passed onto the defaulting parties. .


C1012 PROJECT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS Note to compiler: 1. The contractor will be bound by the terms of this EMPl regardless that some of them might not be part of an EMPr authorised by a competent authority. 2. It is intended that this standard EMPl be the base document for the development of the draft of each EMPr that is to accompany each application to the relevant competent authority. 3. The EAP’s identification of an activity requiring inclusion of mitigation or action in the EMPr should preferably use verbatim the relative text in this EMPl. However, if the EAP can show that his/her version is an improvement then the engineer in liaison with the relevant project manager should be aware of the amendment and approve the change. 4. It is preferable to improve this EMPl than create different versions of the same mitigation. Proposals for improvement are encouraged. 5. This section of the EMPl should be used by the EAP to record site specific activities and proposed mitigation measures. A graphic display of these will be a useful visual aid.
