ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED 40MW OPEN CYCLE GAS TURBINE POWER PLANT IN THE AMERSFOORT AREA, MPUMALANGA GEOGRAPHICAL CHANGE PROCESSES Bohlweki-SSI Environmental Expected Change Process Yes No Expected Impact Project Phase Status for change in land use in the area? (2100MW CCGT). In such a case, the presence of an OCGT plant and its associated infrastructure might prohibit future developments encroaching upon the plant footprint or pipeline servitudes, which means that land is lost for development and mining will be extended over these areas.
