SAHRA Response to Notification of Development
This application constitutes a section 38 (1) application for approval by SAHRA in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 of 1999 (NHRA), as the proposed power line exceeds 300 metres in length. As such SAHRA is providing response in terms of section 38(2) with regards to this application.
SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit cannot make an informed decision on this proposed development because of the scale of the power liine and nature of the landscape. In order for SAHRA to make an informed decision, the .kml file must be uploaded to the appropriate location on SAHRIS. The .kml file must be created entirely on google earth, it must be uploaded to the palaeosensitivity section of the case, and the power line route must be mapped out as it appears on the span plan document.
SAHRA will process the case further once the case is amended as requested.
