Details of the activity(s) covered by the Environmental Clearance Certificate: 2.1 Title of the Activity The application for the environmental clearance certificate renewal and transfer for the proposed fuel station development on Erf 1889, Extension 7, Rundu, Kavango East Region. Location of Activity The proposed fuel station development on Erf 1889, Extension 7, Rundu, is situated on the corner of Independence Avenue and Usivi Road about 4 km towards the east of the Rundu town centre and about 2 km south of the Okavango River, within the Kavango East Region (see Appendix A). 2.3 Nature of Activity The activities to be undertaken at Erf 1889, Ext 7, Rundu, will consist of the fuel retail building with ancillary services, two underground fuel storage tanks (23 m3) of unleaded petrol, provision of additional space alongside the tank farm for the installation of additional tanks in future (if required), fuel dispensing islands inclusive of pump island servicing equipment and forecourt furniture. Furthermore, the fuel station will also comprise fuel dispensing island canopy, water/oil separator suitably located for ease of connections, high density Polyethylene (HDPE) fuel delivery pipeline system and tanks fitted with submersible pumps and ancillary equipment (automatic tank gaging etc.). The components of the fuel station will also include a dispensing islands fitted with fuel dispensers for pressure system (comparative benchmarking analysis for "suction" vs. "pressure" system to be completed) and Septic tank or connections to municipal services. The fuel station will have a 24 hour convenience (quick) shop. In terms of Civil and structural design and layout for site, kerb lines, concrete hard standing areas and containment slabs, layer works and appropriate forecourt and surrounding surfacing (where required), road marking, subsurface spill containment drainage system to interceptor and subsurface storm water system. The site is bordered by tarred roads to the north and west and has three existing access points, of which two (northeast and east) enable vehicle access whereas the third access point (southwest) is only suitable for people on foot. The national water utility, NamWater supplies bulk water from the Okavango River to the Rundu Town Council, which provides the water to its customers (i.e. Rundu residents). The electricity system in the town is run by the Northern Regional Electricity Distributor (NORED). There is a variety of business activities within the town. For security, traffic and police officers are presents 24 hours in the town and many of the shops are having their own security guards. Rundu is connected to the rest of the national roads' network via B8, B10 and C45 main roads. There are tarred and gravel roads within the town. 2.4 Scale and Scope of the Activity During the construction phase, earth works will be carried out in certain areas of the project site in order to install the necessary services infrastructure. This will require soil excavation, possible removal of the existing River Red Gum tree (Eucalyptus Camadulesis) within the construction site footprint and the movement of heavy construction vehicle and equipment. Electricity will be supplied by the northern regional electricity distributor (NORED). Temporary employment opportunities will be created. However, the number of people to be employed during this phase is not yet known. The construction workers are expected to be housed in the town district and not on the site. The following activities will take place, in terms of infrastructure and service provision: Installation of potable water pipelines; Installation of wastewater disposal pipelines; and Installation of electrical cables for power supply. The appointed contractor will construct a temporary boundary wall (most probably using corrugated iron sheets) to minimise air and noise (nuisance impact). The wall will also provide access control to the construction site. Construction waste will be kept on-site during construction, and removed on a regular basis to the Rundu Town Council solid waste management facility. The proposed fuel station development has not yet been implemented to date.
