101August 2010 8848• As a minimum, dust fallout measurements should be undertaken in the vicinity of theBoitshepi site to establish dust fallout levels around the site. These dust fallout levels willprovide an indication of nuisance dust impacts; and• The site operator should control on-site fugitive dust emissions by effective managementand mitigation due to the potential cumulative impacts of this pollutant in the study area.Residual ImpactOn successful implementation of the proposed mitigation measures the impact will be lesssignificant and will be minimised to a Moderate (alternative 2 and 3) to High impact(alternative 1).Table 31: Impact Rating Matrix for Air Quality during the construction phase(Alternative 1-3).Type of Impact Significance Spatial Temporal Probability RatingInitial HIGH Local Long Term Is occurring 3.66 – HighAdditionalAlternative 1UnacceptableAlternative 2and 3LOW Study site Short Term Could happen 1.2 – LowCumulative HIGH Local Long Term Is occurring 3.66 – HighResidualAlternative 1UnacceptableAlternative 2and 3HIGH Study site Short Term Very Likely2.1 –Moderate11.1.9 Cultural EnvironmentInitial ImpactThe Phase I HIA study for the proposed extension of the Boitshepi Waste Disposal Siterevealed none of the types and ranges of heritage resources as outlined in Section 3 of theNational heritage Resources Act (No 25 of 1999).Therefore, there is no initial impact at all on the current state of heritage/ cultural resources(NO IMPACT). This is applicable to all alternatives that have been considered for theproposed project.Additional ImpactIt is possible that the Phase I HIA study that was undertaken might have failed to noticepossible heritage resources in the project area as heritage remains may occur beneath theexisting Boitshepi Waste Disposal Site and could only be exposed if the waste disposal siteZITHOLELE CONSULTING
