Puma Energy (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd requested Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) Ltd to undertake an environmental assessment for an existing fuel retail facility situated on erf 225, Opuwo. The facility supplies diesel and unleaded petrol from underground storage tanks via dispensers on a forecourt area. To comply with South African National Standards, the Proponent plans to refurbish the facility. Once complete, the facility will supply fuel via dispensers in a forecourt area from three underground tanks, with a combined capacity of 69 m3. Continued operations of the fuel retail facility include filling of the underground storage tanks from road transport tankers; dispensing of fuel to customers; tank dips and fuel volume reconciliation; as well as general operational activities and maintenance procedures associated with a fuel retail facility. The environmental assessment is conducted to determine all environmental, safety, health and socio economic impacts associated with the construction and operations of the facility. Relevant environmental data has been compiled by making use of secondary data and from a reconnaissance site visit. Potential environmental impacts and associated social impacts were identified and are addressed in this report. Due to the nature and location of the facility, limited impacts are expected on the surrounding environment, see summary impacts table below. The facility is surrounded mainly by informal to semi-formal businesses. It is recommended that environmental performance be monitored regularly to ensure regulatory compliance and that corrective measures be taken if necessary. The fuel retail facility plays a role in contributing to a reliable supply of fuel to the residents and business sector of Opuwo as well as to the transport and tourism industries.
