APPENDIX E: COMMENTS AND RESPONSES REPORT
This Section of the report provides the details of the Public Participation Process followed for the proposed project. Public participation provides for the involvement of Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs), in forums that allow them to voice their opinions and concerns, at an early stage of the proposed project. Such engagement is critical in the BAR, as it contributes to a better understanding of the proposed project among I&APs, and raises important issues that need to be assessed in the EIA process. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TO DATE There are four key steps within the overall public participation process. These include -
Notifying I&APs of the BAR process;
Holding public meetings;
Making provision for I&APs to review and comment on all reports before they are finalised and submitted to the competent authority; and
Making a record of responses to comments and concerns available to I&APs. Notifying Interested and Affected Parties of the proposed project Background information document
A Background Information Document (BID) was prepared that provided basic information on
the proposed project, the BAR process and contact details for registration as an I&AP. The
BID was sent to all persons and organisations identified as I&APs as well as landowners and
surrounding land owners via e-mail. In the cases where no email addresses were available,
BIDs were distributed in person. The list of identified I&APs and a copy of the BID are
