ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED 40MW OPEN CYCLE GAS TURBINE POWER PLANT IN THE AMERSFOORT AREA, MPUMALANGA 9.1.4. Socio-cultural Change Processes Bohlweki-SSI Environmental Socio-cultural change processes that are associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project include changes such as health and safety aspects and sense of place. The concept of ‘health’ is not only limited to physical health (i.e. the absence of ailments or illness), but also includes mental and social health. The expected changes that can occur in relation to health and safety aspects can be as a result of the presence of the proposed OCGT demonstration plant and associated infrastructure (such as elevated, above ground pipelines) during operation, as well as the presence of construction workers and/or job seekers during construction. Table 9.4 below provides an overview of the expected change process as well as the expected impacts that might occur as a result of the change process taking place. These potential impacts will be assessed in detail during the Impact Assessment phase. E02.JNB.000308 ESKOM HOLDINGS LIMITED 01 80 08/10/2009
