Appropriate permits obtained from SAHRA prior to the disturbance or destruction of heritage sites. An incident reporting system will be used to record non-conformances to the EMPr. OBJECTIVE 12: Minimisation of visual impacts associated with construction During the construction phase heavy vehicles, components, equipment and construction crews will frequent the area and may cause, at the very least, a cumulative visual nuisance to landowners and residents in the area as well as road users. The placement of lay-down areas and temporary construction camps should be carefully considered in order to not negatively influence the future perception of the project. Secondary visual impacts associated with the construction phase, such as the sight of construction vehicles, dust and construction litter must be managed to reduce visual impacts. Project Component/s Power line Laydown areas Ancillaries Access Potential Impact Visual impact of general construction activities Potential scarring of the landscape due to vegetation clearing. Activity/Risk Source The viewing of the mentioned by observers on or near the site. Mitigation: Minimal visual intrusion by construction activities and construction accommodation and Target/Objective intact vegetation cover outside of immediate works areas. Mitigation: Action/Control Responsibility Timeframe Ensure that vegetation is not unnecessarily removed during the Contractor Planning and construction period. construction Retain / re-establish and maintain natural vegetation in all areas outside Contractor Planning of the development footprint/servitude. Align power line as far from identified sensitive visual receptors (home Eskom or Planning and steads, N14, urban residential areas) as possible within the identified contractor construction corridor. Reduce the construction period through careful logistical planning and Eskom or Planning and productive implementation of resources. contractor duration of construction Restrict the activities and movement of construction workers and Contractor Construction vehicles to the immediate construction site and existing access Ensure that rubble, litter, and disused construction materials are Contractor Construction appropriately stored (if not removed and then disposed regularly at licensed waste facilities. Reduce and control construction dust using approved dust suppression Contractor Construction techniques as and when required (i.e. whenever dust becomes apparent). Restrict construction activities in close proximity to sensitive receptors to Contractor Construction daylight hours whenever possible in order to reduce lighting impacts.
