ESKOM - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA: 12/12/20/944) 

FOR A PROPOSED NUCLEAR POWER STATION AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE

REVIEW OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

EXTENSION OF COMMENT PERIOD

As previously announced, an opportunity to review the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) commenced on 06 March 2010 with a revised closing date of 31 May 2010.

Please be advised that the comment period has been further extended by an additional 30 days and the closing date for comment is now 30 June 2010 (117 days). You are, therefore, afforded the opportunity to use the extended period to further review the report and submit any additional comments.

Once the comments have been received a Revised Draft EIR, including its specialist studies, will be produced and placed at public venues for a further comment period of 45 days.

On behalf of the EIA Project Team, I should like to thank all those who have attended public meetings and Key Stakeholder Feedback Meetings held during the period 23 March – 25 May 2010, those who have already submitted comments on the Draft EIA Report and those who will take further time to review the reports and submit comments.

For additional information, please contact: Bongi Shinga or Dalene Murie at:
