All relevant Health and Safety legislation will be strictly adhered to including the Occupational Health & Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993). A full Occupational Health and Safety Prograe will be developed and ipleented. Construction caps ust be situated away fro any adjacent properties and at a iniu distance of 50 away fro any watercourses, wetlands or drainage lines. As noted in the previous audit, the following still reains: The construction cap has been established and fenced with a controlled access point (refer to Plate 1). The fencing includes shade cloth that will act as a protection against wind for the waste storage areas used during construction. The cap is located on the only piece of Municipal owned land that was clear, easily accessible to all four phases of the project and not affected by the construction. Health and safety protocol and signage has been observed during the audit site inspection. No non-conforances were noted. As noted in the previous audit, the construction cap is secured thereby reducing the opportunity for criinal activity. The entrance to the construction site cap has been oved to the south for better access of the achinery (refer to Plate 1). No nonconforances were noted. All relevant health and safety requireents to be continuously adhered to.. Plate 1: Security controlled entrance to the construction site cap has oved to the south for better access of achinery.

(Conditions of the EMPr and 3.16 and 3.29 of the EA). As noted in the previous audit, all hazardous aterials will be stored in a locked container and a L above ground diesel tank will be installed within the construction cap site. The diesel tank will be within a bunded area to cater for a spill. A spill kit is available in the site office, a copy of the SCP is in the environental file kept in the site office and a list of hazardous aterials on site is kept on the wall in the site office A diesel tank trailer has been placed in a bunded area in the construction cap site office. It is noted that the diesel tank is obile and gets taken off site to refuel. Because it is obile it is not possible to copletely enclose the bunded area. Therefore, it has been recoended that the bunded area be constructed such that the floor slopes towards the back of the bunded area and includes a speed bup. This is to ensure that in the event of a spill the bunded area will be able to contain the spill. The bunded area is currently being Plate 4: A secure bunded area is currently being reconstructed in such a way that the floor slopes towards the back.

Requireent Finding Notes Action Photograph Production of dust and daage caused by dust will be liited through regular watering of the work areas (Condition of the EMPr). As noted fro the previous audit, the Contractor has anaged to use their water tanker fro another site for soil wetting to this site to iniise dust (refer to Plate 6). As noted in the previous audit, the whole of Phase 1 has been cleared and as such there is a large area of exposed soil. Sourcing raw water for construction and dust suppression is noted as a constraint as an abstraction point has yet to be identified by ethekwini in agreeent with DWS. The Contractor is currently aking use of an established abstraction point. It is however far fro the site resulting in increased costs and tie delays. Regular dust suppression spraying was however observed despite the issues (refer to Plate 6). No non-conforances were noted.

11 SRK Consulting: : Audit Report 05 Page Soil Erosion Requireent Finding Notes Action Photograph Iediately ahead of construction the developent area will be stripped and topsoil stockpiled. Works will be coordinated to liit unnecessarily prolonged exposure of stripped areas and stockpiles. Wind screening and stor water control will be undertaken to prevent soil loss. A foral stor water syste will be designed will be ipleented. (Conditions 5.1.5, 5.1.6, and of the EMPr and 3.31 and 3.39 of the EA) As noted fro the previous audit, the whole of Phase 1 has been cleared of vegetation and inforal structures. Soil copaction in the establishent of the platfors and roads has liited soil erosion and significant erosion has not been observed during site visits (refer to Plate 7). The Construction and Operation Stor Water Manageent Plan (SWMP) has been updated and sent to the departent of EDTEA and DWS, as a result to avoid a household that has been constructed along the pipeline to the discharge point. As noted in the previous audit report, the reason for the extensive clearing is twofold. Firstly, there are social issues with the counity that required the developable area to be cleared to avoid people returning to portions of the site during the construction phase. Secondly, it is not financially viable to keep a TLB on site for the duration of the construction phase. No non-conforance was noted. As noted in the previous audit report, the bers and grading of the site will not create sufficient stor water control and additional echaniss of stor water anageent were discussed with the Contractor. No nonconforance was noted. The Contractor, in consultation with the ethekwini Municipality and wetland specialist, ust ipleent ore foral stor water anageent easures to itigate the potential for soil erosion. This is particularly iportant as the site slopes north to the wetland and should a stor event occur the wetland could potentially be affected. Ipleentation of the updated SWMP will need to be prioritised. Plate 7: Current overview of the graded site and construction of platfors with no soil erosion. Construction of a sewage line is currently being constructed (refer to Plate 8).

Requireent Finding Notes Action Photograph Access to wetlands and riparian areas will be restricted. Wetland areas, buffers and other ecologically sensitive areas to be cordoned off with danger tape. (Conditions 5.1.1, and of the EMPr; Conditions 3.3.4, of the EA; and Condition 2 of the DWS Section 19(1)(B) Directive). As noted in the previous audit reports, that the counity was using the site as a vehicular access route and the counity has created a vehicle access point along the northern boundary of the site gaining access to the wetland. The concern noted in the previous audit regarding the relocated houses fro phase 1, into the wetland boundary, has been verified by the surveyor findings. There are fifteen (15) houses within the wetland buffer and only forty seven (47) houses outside the wetland buffer, (refer to appendix 5). There are however approxiately 120 beneficiary households in Phase 1. The dwellings established outside the wetland buffer will be used to ove people into, for the other phases. To prevent access to the wetland, the contractor has installed danger tape along the boundary of the access road and along the edge of the wetland buffer area (refer to the yellow arrows in Plate 8). Furtherore, concrete bollards have been placed at the ain entrance to the site thereby preventing access to the site and ergo access to the wetland (refer to Plate 9). These itigation easure appear to have liited vehicle access to the site and then through the wetland. Relocation of hoes into the wetland buffer is considered a ajor non-conforance ethekwini is to consult with Departent of Environental Planning & Cliate Protection Departent. (EPCPD) regarding an acceptable way forward with regards to the fifteen (15) houses within the wetland buffer.
