Ipulazi lomoya lase-Albany

Yiba nezwi lakho - thonya umphumela.

Endaweni ezolile yaseMakhanda kukhona usongo olucashile—amapulazi omoya angabekwanga kahle okuhlanganisa nepulazi elihlongozwayo i-Albany Wind Farm. Amaturbine amakhulu, abekwe phezu kwamagquma aphakeme kakhulu futhi acishe abe ngamamitha angama-220 ubude namamitha ayi-170 ububanzi, asongela ukubukwa okuhle kanye nokuhlukahluka kwemvelo kwezindawo ezinophawu, okuhlanganisa iMakhanda, indawo yase-Albany kanye ne-Addo Elephant National Park. Uma kuqhathaniswa, amaturbine akhona e-Waainek angamamitha angu-140 ubude.

1. 1. I-Visual Impact: Imithelela ebonakalayo ye-WEF ehlongozwayo ye-Albany (kanye nemithelela enqwabelene yamapulazi omoya esifundeni, okuhlanganisa ne-Albany WEF ehlongozwayo) ayizange icutshungulwe ngokwanele, iboniswe, iboniswe futhi idluliselwe um(aba)thuthukisi futhi ayizange icatshangwe ngendlela efanele noma ngokwenele yiziphathimandla ezivumayo.
      1. 1. Ukwehliswa koMthuthukisi kwenani lama-turbines kuya ku-25 akunciphisi noma kuguqule wonke umthelela wokubukwa olimazayo we-Albany WEF ehlongozwayo. Eqinisweni, kwenza ukuthi ukubonakala kubonakale kubi kakhulu ngokuthi amanye amaturbine asephinde amiswa phezu kwamagquma nezintaba, okuyizindawo eziphakeme kakhulu endaweni yaseMakhanda nase-Albany.
   2. Umthelela Wezenhlalo Nezomnotho: Ukwehluleka ukucabangela ngokwanele imithelela ebanzi yenhlalonhle yezomnotho yephrojekthi, kuphakamisa ukukhathazeka mayelana nemiphumela emibi engase ibe khona emphakathini wendawo kanye nesifunda saseMpumalanga Kapa.
   3. Ukuhlukahluka Kwezinto Eziphilayo kanye Nomthelela Ohlobene Nomsindo: Ukukhathazeka mayelana nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezingaba khona kanye nomthelela ohlobene nomsindo we-Albany WEF ehlongozwayo, edinga ukuhlolwa okuphelele nokucatshangelwa okufanele.
      1. I-WEF ye-Albany ehlongozwayo imaphakathi nesinye sezifunda ezixube kakhulu emhlabeni jikelele kanye nohlelo lokuzalanisa obhejane abansundu oluyimpumelelo emhlabeni wonke, oluqhutshwa futhi lwesekwa amaPaki Kazwelonke kanye NesiFundazwe esifundeni, i-ECPTA, i-WWF, abanikazi bomhlaba abazimele kanye nabaningi. abanye. Kubalulekile esifundeni kanye neplanethi ukuthi lokhu kuhlukahluka kwemvelo kuvikelwe ngazo zonke izindleko.
   4. Umphumela Wezilwane Nezinyoni: Ukukhathazeka mayelana nomthelela we-WEF ehlongozwayo ye-Albany ezilwaneni (ikakhulukazi izindlovu) kanye nezinyoni ngokuvamile, okudinga ukuhlolwa nokucatshangelwa okuphelele nokwanele, okuhlanganisa nomsindo ezilwaneni nasekuxhumaneni nezilwane. Njengezibonelo:
      1. Unjiniyela kanye nochwepheshe be-Avifaunal kanye ne-Avifaunal Ground Truthing Reports ayikhulumi futhi ayifaki ukucatshangelwa komthelela kumaVultures asengozini enkulu (okuhlanganisa nama-Cape Vultures ), okuhlanganisa umphumela okhulayo wamapulazi omoya esifundeni. Lawa ma turbines azoba nomthelela omubi kakhulu wokushayisana neminye imithelela kumanqe (nezinye izinyoni eziningi) kanye nemizamo enzima kakhulu yokuvimbela ukushabalala kwawo eMpumalanga Kapa naseNingizimu Afrika.
      2. Ucwaningo olunganele lwenziwe ngomthelela nomthelela wezinjini zomoya (kokubili ukunyakaza nomsindo) ezinhlotsheni zezilwane ezihlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa nezindlovu. Siyazi ukuthi zinomthelela kulezi zilwane futhi kuze kube yilapho lokhu kubalwa futhi kuhlolwe ngokuqiniseka kwesayensi, umgomo wokuqapha wokungawatholi amapulazi omoya kulezi zindawo kufanele usetshenziswe futhi ulandelwe.
   5. Indawo Yamagugu Namasiko: Ukwesaba mayelana nomthelela wephrojekthi kumagugu namasiko, kuphakamisa imibuzo mayelana nemizamo yokulondoloza kanye nekusasa lesifunda.
   6. Udinga Ukufiseleka: Ukushoda kwesidingo esifiselekayo, kugomela ukuthi ipulazi lomoya alidingeki kule ndawo uma kunezindawo ezifanele kakhulu.
      Njengesibonelo, ipulazi lomoya elihlongozwayo elicekeleke phansi i-Inyanda -Roodeplaat lanqatshwa ngesikhathi kudluliswa isicelo njengoba kwatholakala ukuthi maningi amanye amaphrojekthi ahlongoziwe futhi avunyiwe anamandla omoya anomthelela omncane kakhulu kwezemvelo. Lokhu kusebenza ncamashi endabeni yamapulazi omoya e-Albany nase-Addo - kunezindawo eziningi ezingcono ezingaba khona zokukhiqiza amandla azophehlwa yi-WEF ehlongozwayo yase-Albany.
   7. Ukubonisana Nomphakathi (Ukubamba Iqhaza Komphakathi): Ukuntuleka kokubonisana nomphakathi okwanele kanye nokungenelela kokuhlanganyela komphakathi, okuhlanganisa ukungabikho kwemihlangano yomphakathi ukuze kuchazwe ngokwanele ipulazi lomoya kanye nemithelela yalo engaba khona (kanye nomthelela wamapulazi omoya anqwabelene).
      1. Ukukhawulela ukubamba iqhaza komphakathi kwamanje kuma-I&AP abhalisiwe akwanele futhi umphakathi ogcwele kufanele ufakwe (nokukhangisa komphakathi okugcwele, njll). Izikhangiso ezicela umphakathi ukuthi ubhalise njengama-I&AP's zaziyiminyaka eminingi edlule (isikhangiso sephephandaba esisodwa ku-Grocott's Mail ngo-2018 kanye nesinye isikhangiso ephephandabeni i-Herald ngoJulayi 2021).
      2. Ayizange ibe khona eminye imizamo yokuxhumana okuphumelelayo efana nezikhangiso zamaphephandaba endawo kanye nezincwadi, ukweluleka imiphakathi yendawo kanye nethinteke kakhulu (njengoba ingeke isibone isikhangiso sephephandaba esingacacile) futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, akukaze kube nomhlangano womphakathi chaza i-Albany WEF ehlongozwayo kanye nemithelela yayo emphakathini.
      3. Inqubo ibingenele futhi ingenangqondo (ikakhulukazi ukuthi awukho umhlangano womphakathi owake waba khona).
         Le nqubo yesicelo ibilokhu iqhubeka cishe iminyaka engu-6 manje futhi kunabantu abaningi abasha kanye nezinguquko endaweni kanye nesifunda kusukela ngo-2018. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umthuthukisi uye washintsha kakhulu ububanzi bentuthuko phakathi kuka-2018 namanje. Uhlelo Lokugcina Lokuphathwa Kwemvelo lwakamuva kanye nenani lokugcina lesakhiwo senjini esebenza ngomshini kuya izinguquko ezinkulu ezinolwazi olusha olubalulekile kanye nomphakathi jikelele kanye nawo wonke ama-I&AP's angenzeka anelungelo lokwaziswa ngokugcwele futhi anikezwe ithuba lokuphawula.
      4. Imibiko yokugcina ye-EMPr kanye Nochwepheshe manje ihlanganisa nengqalasizinda yegridi okokuqala ngqa? Lokhu ngaphambilini bekuyingxenye yenqubo yayo ye-EIA futhi kuyisihloko sezikhalazo ezahlukene. Umphakathi kanye nama-I&AP's okungenzeka awakaze anikezwe ithuba lokubheka lolu lwazi oluhlanganisiwe.
      5. I-WEF ehlongozwayo yase-Albany (yodwa ngokwayo futhi ngokuqongeleleka namanye amapulazi omoya ahlongozwayo nagunyaziwe) izoba nomthelela omubi kakhulu eMakhanda naseMpumalanga Kapa futhi umphakathi unelungelo lokwazi nokwaziswa ngokugcwele.
   8. Umthelela Wokuvakasha Kwemvelo Nezilwane Zasendle: Umthelela Wezokuvakasha Kwemvelo Nezilwane Zasendle: Ukucatshangelwa okunganele kwemvelo nomthelela wezokuvakasha kwezilwane zasendle we-Albany WEF (kanye nomthelela oqongelelekayo wamapulazi omoya esifundeni), isici esibalulekile sokulinganisela kwemvelo yesifunda namandla ezokuvakasha. Lokhu akucatshangelwanga ngokwanele noma akunakiwe ngunjiniyela kanye neziphathimandla.
      1. UNgqongqoshe wenze lezi zitatimende ezilandelayo futhi wagcizelela okulandelayo maqondana nezinhlobonhlobo zemvelo nezokuvakasha (okuhlanganisa nenkulumo yakhe yosuku eNgqungqutheleni Yokutshalwa Kwezimali Kwezokuvakasha ye-SANParks). Izinqumo ezenziwayo zokuthola amapulazi omoya ezindaweni ezibucayi kakhulu nasezindaweni ezinkulu zezokuvakasha, okuhlanganisa ipulazi lomoya lase-Albany, azivumelani nalezi zitatimende nezimiso:
         1. 1. “Igalelo lezokuvakasha njengento egqugquzela ukukhula komnotho waseNingizimu Afrika angeke libukelwe phansi. Imboni yezokuvakasha ayigcini nje ngokucindezela abasebenzi abaningi ngakho-ke ingumdali omkhulu wemisebenzi uma ichuma, futhi iyimboni enomphumela omkhulu wokuphindaphindeka, efaka isandla ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile kweminye imikhakha eminingana eyinhloko kanye neyesibili ochungechungeni lwenani layo.
            2. Izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nemvelo enempilo ingenye yezimpahla ezinhle kakhulu zezokuvakasha, imali yazo yemvelo, futhi iyisisekelo ekukhuleni kwayo isikhathi eside; emva kwakho konke, ukuhamba ngokukhululeka kukhuthazwa ngokuyinhloko yithuba lokuzibandakanya nemvelo namasiko.
            3. Ngakho-ke ukongiwa kwemvelo nezokuvakasha kuncike kwezinye ezicini eziningi, lapho zithuthukiswa futhi zilawulwa ngendlela eqhubekayo nethembekile, ezokuvakasha zingaba usizo ekuvikeleni izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nemali engenayo yezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke ibalulekile ekuxhaseni ngezimali ukuvikelwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.”

         Izindawo ezifanele zemvelo nezilwane zasendle ezibucayi eMpumalanga Kapa ziyizindawo zokulimela ukuhweba ezinzima yingakho ukuvakasha kwemvelo kanye nezilwane zasendle kanye neminye imisebenzi yezohwebo ehlobene nezilwane zasendle kube ngumsebenzi womnotho okhula kakhulu eMpumalanga Kapa. Ezokuvakasha kanye nalawa mabhizinisi ahlobene adala amathuba emisebenzi esimeme futhi azovula eminye imisebenzi eminingi esikhathini esizayo. Baphinde basekele amabhizinisi amaningi ahlobene ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile futhi akulona ihaba ukusho ukuthi ezokuvakasha ziyayisindisa le ndawo yaseMpumalanga Kapa.

         Uma abathuthukisi bamapulazi omoya kanye nohulumeni bengathathi indlela enokuqonda nenolwazi mayelana nokubeka amapulazi omoya eMpumalanga Kapa (okuhlanganisa nokungavumeli i-Albany WEF nganoma yiluphi uhlobo), umphumela onqwabelene wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okhaphethi ngokungakhethi emapulazini omoya IMpumalanga Kapa kanye nezindawo zayo ezibucayi kanye nezokuvakasha kanye nezilwane zasendle zizocekela phansi ezokuvakasha namandla esifundazwe.

   9. Umthelela Wokunwetshwa Kwendawo Evikelekile: Umthelela Wokunwetshwa Kwendawo Evikelekile: Ukukhathazeka mayelana nomthelela we-Albany WEF ekukhuleni Kwezindawo Ezivikelekile kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwe-Albany Biodiversity Corridor kanye ne-Addo-Amathole Biodiversity Economic Node, okuphakamisa ukukhathazeka mayelana nemiphumela yesikhathi eside yemvelo. Empeleni, ukwakhiwa kwepulazi elihlongozwayo lokuphehla umoya i-Albany (kokubili ngokwalo futhi ngokunqwabelana namanye amapulazi omoya ahlongozwayo ezindaweni ezibucayi), kuzovimbela ukunwetshwa kwendawo evikelwe kakade okuvele kuhleliwe futhi osekuvele kwenziwa esifundeni, ngaphezu kokucekela phansi ukusimama kwendawo evikelekile ekhona. izindawo)..
