The environmental clearance certificate is for: Activity10.1 (g) (Infrastructure) The construction of communication networks including towers, telecommunication and marine telecommunication lines and cables. Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) applied for an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the erection of 3 signal towers in Ocean View in Swakopmund in 2014. The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed development was conducted by EnviroSolutions in 2014. Following the submission of the final Environmental Assessment Report, the ECC was granted as per letter dated July 2014. In accordance with the Environmental Management Act No 7 of 2007 and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations of 2012 the ECC is only valid for three years and as such the ECC has expired. MTC has thus appointed GCS Water Environmental Engineering Namibia (GCS Namibia) to apply on their behalf to the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) for the renewal of the ECC. The approved EMP which was initially submitted to MEFT was drafted in 2014 and thus requires to be updated. Furthermore, the location of one of the towers as per the original application submitted in 2014 has changed (the details are outlined in Section 2.1 of the EMP), it is thus additionally required to amend the ECC to reflect this change in location. As such the EMP has been updated and will be submitted to apply for the ECC amendment and renewal for the erection of 3 signal towers in Ocean View in Swakopmund in 2014.
