Quarry portion 26 of farm 22 Zouterivier - further questions

[Mal Morrow]

Hello Ms Spalding, Ms Damon, Mr Massyn, Mr Viljoen -

Thanks for your previous attention.

I am reading the application for conditional use to permit clay mining on Portion 26 of Farm 22 Zouterivier (attached) in closer detail, and I find to my interest that the Council has a number of obligations.  I would like to be sure that the Council is fulfilling its obligation.  Please can you therefore supply the following material to me, that correspond to the application that was granted:

1. A copy of the Environmental Management Plan as submitted and supported by the Department of Mineral and Energy Affairs.
2. Written evidence that Cape Nature Conservation is satisfied with this plan.
3. The name and contact details of the Council representative on the Monitoring Committee, and complete minutes maintained by the Council of meetings held by the Monitoring Committee.
4. Written evidence that waste and refuse disposal are to the satisfaction of the Engineering Services Department.
5. Written evidence that water potability is to the satisfaction of the Health Services Department.
6. Written evidence that ablution facilities meet the requirements of the Engineering Services Department, the Executive Director: Health and Housing and the National Building Regulations.
7. Written evidence that the upgrading and maintenance of the existing access road is to a standard satisfactory to the Director: Engineering Services.
8. Written evidence that the operator acknowledges legal responsibility for the condition of the road.
9. Receipts and/or invoices of a financial guarantee made to the Executive Director: Engineering and Planning in respect of maintenance of the road, and evidence that this amount is still held by the Council for the purposes defined.

As the application for a conditional use to permit clay mining on Portion 26 of Farm 22, Zouterivier, was approved by the Council, then all the above items are the obligations of the Council.

I therefore seek immediate reassurance that the Council is fulfilling its obligations in respect of the conditional use.

Please supply me with the above items by return of email.  If necessary, you may post the evidence and material requested to my questions to the below address, but please ensure that I am informed of the date of postage by email or by phone.

Sincerely yours,

Mal Morrow
