The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of an existing 66kV Bismarck – Naruchas transmission line including Groot Aub - Oamites T-off line and other associated infrastructures. Under the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) section 27 the activity described as “energy distribution, transmission and generation” requires an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) as it is a listed activity. The 66kV Bismarck – Naruchas, was constructed before the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the issue of the ECC for 66kV Bismarck – Naruchas transmission line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. This application also includes Groot Aub – Oamites T-Off line and other associated infrastructures which are the Bismarck, Aris, Leutwein, Groot Aub and Oamites substations
