ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED 40MW OPEN CYCLE GAS TURBINE POWER PLANT IN THE AMERSFOORT AREA, MPUMALANGA<br />
ISSUE AREA OF POTENTIAL IMPACT RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
to be large and as such the activities can impact<br />
negatively on the low intensity land use of<br />
extensive grazing.<br />
Biodiversity The following impacts/issues were identified that could<br />
affect the floristic and faunal attributes of the study<br />
area adversely:<br />
• Potential impacts on the local and regional<br />
biodiversity;<br />
• Potential impacts on sensitive/pristine habitat<br />
types;<br />
• Potential impacts on threatened/protected species<br />
and habitat;<br />
• Potential impacts on surrounding habitat and<br />
species; and<br />
• Potential impacts on fauna species.<br />
Impacts of a cumulative nature include:<br />
• Potential increase in habitat transformation (e.g.<br />
loss of habitat);<br />
• Potential increase in habitat fragmentation (e.g.<br />
loss of migratory routes); and<br />
• Potential increase in environmental degradation<br />
(e.g. loss of habitat quality).<br />
Bohlweki-SSI Environmental<br />
A detailed assessment of the study area will be<br />
undertaken within the EIA phase in order to<br />
adequately assess the potential impacts on<br />
biodiversity as a result of the proposed project and<br />
recommend appropriate mitigation measures,<br />
where required.<br />
