Maintenance Management Plan (2202k)

Description:

The City of Cape Town is proposing to construct five new stormwater outlet structures and associated litter traps at strategic points along the Lourens River, as well as a stomrwater detention pond on Erf 3308, as part of the emergency flood alleviation measures currently being implemented in Somerset West.  The proposed activities require environmental authorisation and CCA has thus been appointed to undertake a Basic Assessment process for the proposed project.
