COMMENT ON THE DRAFT SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCURE ON ERF NO 22973 STRAND IN THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN METROPOLITAN
MUNICIPALITY WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE
The request for comment on the draft scoping report (SR) for the above-mentioned project dated 04 August
2021 which was received via electronic mail correspondence on 4 August 2021 by the Department of
Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEAampDP) Directorate Air Quality Management (D
AQM) has reference
The Directorate Air Quality Management (D AQM) has the following comments on the draft SR in terms of
the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act No 39 of 2004 (NEM AQA)
1 NOISE MANAGEMENT
11 If the project continues it is expected that the situation may have a negatively impact on sensitive
inhabitants in the surrounding area and if elevated may not be acceptable for recreational activities
12 It should be noted that noise generated from the proposed activity must comply with the Western
Cape Noise Control Regulations PN 2002013

Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning
2 ODOUR MANAGEMENT
21 With regards to odour management it should be noted that the specialist studies must address the
potential air quality impact from potential odour that the proposed cremator may have on potentially
sensitive receptors in the area
3 AIR EMISSIONS IMPACT MANAGEMENT
31 The draft SR indicates that there may be possible environmental impacts associated with the
construction operation closure and decommissioning phases of the proposed project
32 The D AQM notes that residents are located approximately 150 m from the proposed facility and that
an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) focussing on impacts on human health will be required
33 The D AQM notes that the draft SR proposes the undertaking of an Air Quality Study which will include
Plan of Study for Air Dispersion Modelling
34 The AQIA must include modelling for possible projections of assessing possible cumulative air quality
impacts from other crematorium facilities or other potential sources of emission in the area
35 It is also noted that the emissions from the crematoria will emanate from the combustion of fuel for
heating combustion of the of the casket or container cremation of human as well as from the
pulverising of any remains after the cremation
36 It is expected that the emissions from the fuel and from the cremation are emitted through individual
stacks from each cremator
37 Specialist studies are recommended to thoroughly interrogate and assess the operational procedures
of the proposed crematorium as these will determine the potential impacts to be experienced during
the construction and operational phases of the proposed project
4 ATMOSPHERIC EMISSION LICENSING
41 The proposed activity triggers the following Section 21 Section 21 of the National Environmental
Management Air Quality Act Listed Activity in terms of the (NEMAQA)
Category 8 (Thermal Treatment of Hazardous and General Waste) Subcategory 82 (Crematoria and
Veterinary Waste Incineration) oria of human remains and the
incineration of animal carcasses and veterinary waste
42 It is envisaged that the Licensing Authority (viz City of Cape Town) has the responsibility of dealing with
a broad range of environmental management matters that affect local communities in the area
5 GENERAL
51 It is noted that diesel will be used as the input energy It should be noted that cleaner energy sources
such as LNGLPG should be explored as alternatives
52 The site location andor building identified for this application must comply with the National Health
Act 2003 (Act No 61 of 2003) as amended and includes the buildings in which memorial ceremonies
are conducted and the cremations are carried out

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must
be made available to all Interested and affected parties during the Public Participation

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

2 ODOUR MANAGEMENT
21 With regards to odour management it should be noted that the specialist studies must address the
potential air quality impact from potential odour that the proposed cremator may have on potentially
sensitive receptors in the area
3 AIR EMISSIONS IMPACT MANAGEMENT
31 The draft SR indicates that there may be possible environmental impacts associated with the
construction operation closure and decommissioning phases of the proposed project
32 The D AQM notes that residents are located approximately 150 m from the proposed facility and that
an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) focussing on impacts on human health will be required
33 The D AQM notes that the draft SR proposes the undertaking of an Air Quality Study which will include
Plan of Study for Air Dispersion Modelling
34 The AQIA must include modelling for possible projections of assessing possible cumulative air quality
impacts from other crematorium facilities or other potential sources of emission in the area
35 It is also noted that the emissions from the crematoria will emanate from the combustion of fuel for
heating combustion of the of the casket or container cremation of human as well as from the
pulverising of any remains after the cremation
36 It is expected that the emissions from the fuel and from the cremation are emitted through individual
stacks from each cremator
37 Specialist studies are recommended to thoroughly interrogate and assess the operational procedures
of the proposed crematorium as these will determine the potential impacts to be experienced during
the construction and operational phases of the proposed project
4 ATMOSPHERIC EMISSION LICENSING
41 The proposed activity triggers the following Section 21 Section 21 of the National Environmental
Management Air Quality Act Listed Activity in terms of the (NEMAQA)
Category 8 (Thermal Treatment of Hazardous and General Waste) Subcategory 82 (Crematoria and
Veterinary Waste Incineration) oria of human remains and the
incineration of animal carcasses and veterinary waste
42 It is envisaged that the Licensing Authority (viz City of Cape Town) has the responsibility of dealing with
a broad range of environmental management matters that affect local communities in the area
5 GENERAL
51 It is noted that diesel will be used as the input energy It should be noted that cleaner energy sources
such as LNGLPG should be explored as alternatives
52 The site location andor building identified for this application must comply with the National Health
Act 2003 (Act No 61 of 2003) as amended and includes the buildings in which memorial ceremonies
are conducted and the cremations are carried out
53 The following in respect of any proposed cremation facility must be noted and adhered to
Page 3 of 3 wwwwesterncapegovza

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must
be made available to all Interested and affected parties during the Public Participation
Process in terms of section 38 (3)(b) (iiA)

We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community

Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of

Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

Reasons for my strong objection
1 Foul smellstink that will be a result of the cremations2 Pollution and health hazard due to smoke and gasses3 This will most definitely negatively affect all property values in the area4 The planned development is in a highly populated area which also includes 3 schools
I thus strongly object the planned development of the crematorium

33 On Page 20 of the draft Scoping Report it is noted that the proposed development will be located within approximately 150m of residential homes The air quality impacts and potential health impacts associated with the proposed facility must be assessed in the draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report In addition to this the monitoring and management of atmospheric emissions must be addressedManagement and the relevant departments within the City of Cape Town must be obtained in this regard
34 Whilst it is noted that alternative fuel sources and cremator technology alternatives were investigated and stack height alternatives were identified and will be assessed as part of the EIA phase given the close proximity to residential areas alternatives may need to be further reported on It is understood that Blue Cranes currently operates a funeral home in Gordon s Bay and intend to establish their own crematorium however should the proposed crematorium not be deemed suitable on this site additional site alternatives may need to be identified and investigated

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must
be made available to all Interested and affected parties during the Public Participation
Process in terms of section 38 (3)(b) (iiA)
83 The 2017 National Framework for Air Quality Management in the Republic of South
Africa No1144 of 26 October 2018 Section 56 compels you to make application via
the System for National Atmospheric Emissions Licencing (SNAEL) Portal website
wwwsaaelipenvironmentgovzaSAAELIP to the City of Cape Town as the licencing
authority
84 An AEL processing fee will be levied as prescribed by Regulation 250 of 11 March 2016

incorporating dust odour and fugitive emissions must be devised and must be included
in the EMPr during the EIA process which will be required to be implemented
throughout all phases of the proposed project and requires prior scrutiny and approval
by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Officer Therefore the FEMP must include the following
911 The handling storage and disposal of ash as a waste product must also be taken
into consideration and demonstrate that no air pollution nuisances are incurred
912 The applicable method statements applicable to air pollution to include at least
the following

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius
Does not provided other options
Consulrative process not community friendly It limit broad participation
Timing of scoping report excludes many people due to covid 19 level 3
Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling
11 9321 140216 Galiel Ebrahim

I wish to place on record that as home owner in George Street Strand I stronkly object to the plannedcrematorium as stipulated in the District Mail dated 26082021
Reasons for my strong objection
1 Foul smellstink that will be a result of the cremations2 Pollution and health hazard due to smoke and gasses3 This will most definitely negatively affect all property values in the area4 The planned development is in a highly populated area which also includes 3 schools
I thus strongly object the planned development of the crematorium

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must
be made available to all Interested and affected parties during the Public Participation
Process in terms of section 38 (3)(b) (iiA)
83 The 2017 National Framework for Air Quality Management in the Republic of South
Africa No1144 of 26 October 2018 Section 56 compels you to make application via
the System for National Atmospheric Emissions Licencing (SNAEL) Portal website
wwwsaaelipenvironmentgovzaSAAELIP to the City of Cape Town as the licencing
authority
84 An AEL processing fee will be levied as prescribed by Regulation 250 of 11 March 2016
Annexure A (below) The processing fees must be paid prior to the AEL application
therefore the applicant must engage the AQO so that an official invoice is generated
Once payment is made proof thereof must be submitted before the online AEL
application is further processed Below is the excerpt extracted from the Regulation
4
85 If and when the Environmental Authorisation(EA) is granted in terms of NEMA by the
Department of Environmental Affairs and Development amp Planning (DEADampP) a copy
of the EA must also be uploaded on SAAELIP as supporting documentation
9 Compliance with the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act 2004 (Act No
39 of 2004) as amended (NEM AQA) -Part 6 Measures in respect or dust noise and
offensive odours
91 A Site Specific Comprehensive Fugitive Emissions Management Plan (FEMP)
incorporating dust odour and fugitive emissions must be devised and must be included
in the EMPr during the EIA process which will be required to be implemented
throughout all phases of the proposed project and requires prior scrutiny and approval
by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Officer Therefore the FEMP must include the following
911 The handling storage and disposal of ash as a waste product must also be taken
into consideration and demonstrate that no air pollution nuisances are incurred
912 The applicable method statements applicable to air pollution to include at least
the following
9121 Identify all possible sources of odour and dust with the affected area
9122 Detail the best practicable measures to be undertaken to mitigate odour
and dust emissions

9124 Identify the line management responsible for the implementation
9125 Establish a register for recording all complaints received by the person
regarding dustfall and odour as well as the recording follow-up actions
and responses to the complaints
913 Excavation activities and construction must be managed and be compliant with
the National Dust Control Regulations R 827 National Environmental
Management Air Quality Act 39 of 2004
92 An Environmental Control Officer (ECO) must be appointed and undertake all the
responsibility as documented in the EMPr to ensure that the odour and dust
management aspects are adequately addressed and implemented at the
commencement and throughout the project

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

MEMORANDUM
Attention Lauren King
Environmental amp Heritage Management ndash Eastern Region
Spatial Planning amp Environment Directorate
The Air Quality Management Department has scrutinised the SCOPING REPORT for the
Crematorium Erf 22973 Strand Cape Town with DEAampDP Reference Number
16336A357207721 received on 16 August 2021
The information provided was reviewed therefore from an air quality management
perspective we wish to provide comments in this regard as follows
1 Based on the information provided it is acknowledged that the proposed activity triggers
a listed activity Category 8 Thermal Treatment of General and Hazardous Waste Sub-
category 82 Crematoria and Veterinary Waste Incineration in terms of the National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act (NEM AQA) 39 Listing Notice No 893 dated
22 November 2013
2 With reference to Appendix I Vendor guarantee where the following is stated
COMMENT ON THE SCOPING REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM BLUE CRANE
FUNERALS (PTY) LTD ERF 22973 STRAND WESTERN CAPE
SRK PROJECT NUMBER 572359
2
21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below
7 A detailed Specialist Air Quality Study will be required in order to comprehensively assess
the impacts of the activity on the receiving environment and sensitive receptors The
completion of an Atmospheric Impact Report in terms of Regulation 747 dated 11 October
2013 must be provided and the air dispersion modelling must be conducted in terms of
the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Regulations 533 dated 11 July 2014 as amended
3
71 We direct your attention to the to the Plan of Study with WKC Reference Number
J21068 dated 21 April 2021 submitted by you to this department for comment and a
subsequent written responsecomment dated 19 May 2021 was provided to you
Please be advised that our comments must be factored in when drafting and compiling
the Atmospheric Impact Report
72 The content of our response must be reflected in the updated Plan of Study for our
further review It is noted that the report proposes various alternative stack heights and
therefore the dimensions (height amp diameter) of the various stacks must be modelled to
prove compliance with the new plant minimum emission standards and that air
pollution nuisances will not caused
8 We further acknowledge that this report forms part of the Public Participation Process (PPP)
and is undertaken by SRK as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP)
as prescribed by Section 38 of NEM AQA Once the PPP has been concluded a Public
Participation Report must be compiled and submitted with your Atmospheric Emission
Licence (AEL) Application Should objections be received such objections must be
adequately addressed by the EAP in the report Should no objections be received a
declaration must be signed by the EAP as proof thereof
81 The public participation process is crucial and must be advertised in two local
newspapers circulating within the area where the activity is conducted Because the
PPP has commenced and the advert already placed please provide proof of
placement in the media in the Public Participation Report
82 The Public Participation Report which include the comments and responses must be
submitted with the submission of the Atmospheric Emission Licence Application must
be made in terms of Section 37 of the National Environmental Management Air
Quality Act (NEMAQA) 39 2004 as amended The completed application form must
be made available to all Interested and affected parties during the Public Participation
Process in terms of section 38 (3)(b) (iiA)
83 The 2017 National Framework for Air Quality Management in the Republic of South
Africa No1144 of 26 October 2018 Section 56 compels you to make application via
the System for National Atmospheric Emissions Licencing (SNAEL) Portal website
wwwsaaelipenvironmentgovzaSAAELIP to the City of Cape Town as the licencing
authority
84 An AEL processing fee will be levied as prescribed by Regulation 250 of 11 March 2016
Annexure A (below) The processing fees must be paid prior to the AEL application
therefore the applicant must engage the AQO so that an official invoice is generated
Once payment is made proof thereof must be submitted before the online AEL
application is further processed Below is the excerpt extracted from the Regulation
4
85 If and when the Environmental Authorisation(EA) is granted in terms of NEMA by the
Department of Environmental Affairs and Development amp Planning (DEADampP) a copy
of the EA must also be uploaded on SAAELIP as supporting documentation
9 Compliance with the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act 2004 (Act No
39 of 2004) as amended (NEM AQA) -Part 6 Measures in respect or dust noise and
offensive odours
91 A Site Specific Comprehensive Fugitive Emissions Management Plan (FEMP)
incorporating dust odour and fugitive emissions must be devised and must be included
in the EMPr during the EIA process which will be required to be implemented
throughout all phases of the proposed project and requires prior scrutiny and approval
by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Officer Therefore the FEMP must include the following
911 The handling storage and disposal of ash as a waste product must also be taken
into consideration and demonstrate that no air pollution nuisances are incurred
912 The applicable method statements applicable to air pollution to include at least
the following

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius
Does not provided other options
Consulrative process not community friendly It limit broad participation
Timing of scoping report excludes many people due to covid 19 level 3
Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling
11 9321 140216 Galiel Ebrahim

21 It is noted that supplier cannot guarantees the effectiveness and efficiency of the
cremators and abatement equipment to meet the new plant Minimum Emission
Standards(MES) for the listed activity Sub-Category 82 in relation to Regulation 89
when overloaded
22 Your attention is directed to the fact that nationally many cremators are not able to
achieve compliance with the prescribed new plant Minimum Emission Standards
therefore copies of the Equipment Stack Test results showing compliance with the MES
as stated in the Vendor guarantee is requested
3 It is noted that the proposed facility will be located in a General Industrial 1 zoned area
which houses other industrial activities
31 However it is further noted that the closest residential area is approximately 150 m to
the south and an informal settlement is located ~270 m east of the site on the periphery
of the area zoned for General Industry 1 adjacent to Strand Secondary School which
are regarded as a sensitive receptor trigger
32 From an air quality management perspective we are concerned that the close
proximity of the operations to human habitation especially sensitive receptors is of
great concern which may pose potential health risks and nuisances to the receiving
environment if not adequately managed in accordance within the required legislative
contexts and provisions
4 The operations conducted at the facility must comply with all the applicable provisions as
prescribed by the Cityrsquos Air Quality Management (AQM) Bylaw 7662 dated 2016 and the
AQM Bylaw must be referenced in the pending Environmental Management Programme
(EMPr) submitted in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
5 We take cognisance that the proposed incineratorcremator will use diesel as the
preferred fuel source to operate the equipment
6 You are requested to provide supporting documentation regarding the specifications of
the equipment used for cremation burner abatement equipment and associated stack
for our understanding and decision-making purposes and this information will also be
required for the Specialist Air Quality Study referred to below

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue

Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

Strand Release of the Scoping Report for Public Review
EXTERNAL Good day CapeNature would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on this application Our comments are as follows
1 The conclusions of site verification regarding plant animal aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity sensitivities are accepted Considering that the development will occur in an existing warehouse on property that has been completely transformed (developed) and is located in a developed area there are negligible risks to biodiversity and we therefore have no objection to the development

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius
Does not provided other options
Consulrative process not community friendly It limit broad participation
Timing of scoping report excludes many people due to covid 19 level 3
Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

EXTERNALAfternoon
I wish to place on record that as home owner in George Street Strand I stronkly object to the plannedcrematorium as stipulated in the District Mail dated 26082021
Reasons for my strong objection
1 Foul smellstink that will be a result of the cremations2 Pollution and health hazard due to smoke and gasses3 This will most definitely negatively affect all property values in the area4 The planned development is in a highly populated area which also includes 3 schools
I thus strongly object the planned development of the crematorium

EXTERNAL Good day CapeNature would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on this application Our comments are as follows
1 The conclusions of site verification regarding plant animal aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity sensitivities are accepted Considering that the development will occur in an existing warehouse on property that has been completely transformed (developed) and is located in a developed area there are negligible risks to biodiversity and we therefore have no objection to the development
CapeNature reserves the right to revise initial comments and request further information based on any additional information that may be received Kind regards

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

Reasons for my strong objection
1 Foul smellstink that will be a result of the cremations2 Pollution and health hazard due to smoke and gasses3 This will most definitely negatively affect all property values in the area4 The planned development is in a highly populated area which also includes 3 schools
I thus strongly object the planned development of the crematorium

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

8 9221 05712 John Pretorius

Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

I wish to place on record that as home owner in George Street Strand I stronkly object to the plannedcrematorium as stipulated in the District Mail dated 26082021
Reasons for my strong objection
1 Foul smellstink that will be a result of the cremations2 Pollution and health hazard due to smoke and gasses3 This will most definitely negatively affect all property values in the area4 The planned development is in a highly populated area which also includes 3 schools
I thus strongly object the planned development of the crematorium

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

Timing of scoping report excludes many people due to covid 19 level 3
Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school
5 9121 161952 Dirk De Jongh Strongly disagree to the building of a crematorium in this area
6 9121 195335 Shameegha Smith
7 9121 210526 Nazeem Williams Health hazard for my childrenwho are at a schoolSMP Schoolwhich is 300meter away from proposed site
8 9221 05712 John Pretorius

Consulrative process not community friendly It limit broad participation
Timing of scoping report excludes many people due to covid 19 level 3
Does not provided for by Gelderberg structure plan
9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature

Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds

10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

1 81521 190727 Reinhold Visser
We are truly against the idea of an crematorium in our neighborhood and we feel we have already lost so much value in our property that we have
built up over years We are already disadvantaged and being tread upon by various businesses in our area that is negatively impacting on our
livelihoods and comfort of living We will not entertain any idea of this nature
2 81521 211915 Clinton Thomas This is far too close to the residential area whether industrial or not Blue Crane should look elsewhere for a venue
3 82721 121410 Yaasin Jakoet We are totally and utterly against this facility going upnin our community
4 83121 174824 Yagya Baderoen I object to the facility due to the close proximity of the residential area and the primary school

9 9221 145017 Lyndon Fortuin
Objection to proposed crematorium
1 The site is located within 500m from habitable dwellings which is contra regulations relating to the management of human remains See Regulation
18(1)(a) of the National Health Act The legislator enacted this legislation to protect those in close proximity to proposed crematoria against the
harmful effects of poisonous gasses These include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chloride mercury
vapour and arsenic gasses It is well documented that safe filtration is not possible The constant smoke and air pollution unlike the emissions of any
other business in the area will desecrate the current clean skies across the Helderberg basin
2 Proper due processes were not followed to inform all habitable dwellings within a 500m radius of the site of the proposed crematorium
3 Constitutional rights of residents are disregarded in regard to section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
4 Childrens rights are disregarded in regard to section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996
5 A wide area will be polluted due to endemic winds
6 Air pollution will may create heart conditions which are comorbidities to Covid 19 and could exacerbate the Covid 19 pandemic
10 9321 102702 Elizabeth Fortuin BCF must abide by the legislation of the National Health Act that no crematorium be erected within 500m of any residential dwelling

OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM OF BLUE CRANE FUNERALS
This is a formal objection to the proposed crematorium and associated infrastructure which Blue Crane Funerals (Pty) Ltd (BCF) intends to develop at Erf 22973 28 De Kock Street Strand This letter is sent to Dan Plato Executive Mayor of the City of Cape Town for attention and comment Leiston Eiston Senior Environmental Consultant of SRK Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd Environmental Consultants for noting a formal objection to the proposed development and Editor of the District Mail Tasmin Cupido for publishing in the local newspaper
We are residents in the Strand who live in close proximity to the proposed crematorium It is our submission that the City of Cape Town (CCT) should never have entertained this development for the following reasons
1 The By-Law of CCT on Cemeteries Crematoria and Funeral Undertakers of 2011 at 52(2)(a) provides that the application has to comply with all applicable legislation One of the most important applicable legislative provisions is contained in the National Health Act no 61 0f 2003 (NHA) Section 18(1)(a) of the NHA provides that a cremation facility must be located at least 500m from any habitable dwelling CCT needs to note that a RDP development is located less than 200m away in the same street as the proposed crematorium The Strand Muslim Primary School is located approximately 300m away from the proposed crematorium and residents in George Street Hammond Street Van Rheede Street and Nolte Street are all located less than 500m away from the proposed crematorium as the crow flies How does CCT propose to bypass national legislation The legislation is not there for decorative purposes It is intended to set a minimum standard for the prevention of health hazards to citizens and animals in close proximity to harmful chemicals emissions of crematoriums It has been well documented in studies notably a study done by the Cooperative Memorial Society on the effects of cremation on the environment (httpswwwcalgarymemorialcom) that crematoriums are responsible for the emission of harmful chemical gasses which include carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chlorides mercury vapour as well as arsenic and selenium It is conceivable that those effected could sue CCT and BCF if their health is compromised by a development which was approved in contravention of national legislation
2 The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996 (the Constitution) in section 24 of the Bill of Rights provides that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being and that the state has the duty to ldquo(i) prevent pollution and ecological degradation (ii) promote conservation and (iii) secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social developmentrdquo The Constitution therefore obliges the City to inter alia prevent pollution while also promoting economic development but only if the development is reasonable and justifiable This site for the proposed crematorium cannot be justified at the cost of the health of the community even if a demand exists for such a service because BCF needs to find a suitable location which complies with the standards of the NHA The rights of the family of the deceased and the financial interests of the developer cannot be justified and outweigh the rights of living residents school children and animals of the community
3 If the development is approved the health of residents more remote from the proposed crematorium will also be affected because the air pollution will be carried by winds endemic to the Strand area The value of residential properties in close proximity to the
2
development as well as properties further away from the development of BCF will be negatively affected due to the carrying wind pollution The affected areas will include the Greenways Golf Estate and more affluent Strand areas The users of the Strand Boardwalk recreational facility much valued for exercise and recreation will also suffer the effects of the pollution The Strand is also home to many senior citizens who has chosen this seaside village as their final retirement destination They too will be effected by the pollution
4 We have taken the liberty to question some residents of the RDP township further down the street from the proposed development for input and found that none of them seem to be aware of the BCF crematorium Their health will be directly affected by the pollution which is indicative of the fact that proper due processes were not followed It is also an indication of a total disregard for the rights of the less privileged whose rights to equality are protected under section 9 of the Constitution
5 Childrenrsquos rights are protected under section 28 of the Constitution Section 28(1)(d) protects the child from maltreatment We suggest that pollution is a form of maltreatment In terms of section 28(2) the childrsquos best interest is of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child It is submitted that pollution on the doorstep of a primary school affecting the health and safety of children must be of paramount importance Such a health and safety hazard cannot be in their best interest
6 It is common knowledge that air pollution leads to the dropping of blood oxygen levels in our bodies which creates heart conditions a comorbidity which has a direct bearing on COVID19 (httpsaljazeeracom) Does CCT really want to be seen to exacerbate the very pandemic which they so desperately seek to address with their vaccination campaign We think not
For all the above reasons it is our submission that the proposed crematorium of BCF and the associated infrastructure should be rejected
The writers will appreciate more objections which must be made prior to the closing date for objections on 6 September 2021 Kindly direct objections to Lauren Eiston Senior Environmental Consultant SRK Consulting tel 021 6593060 email LeistonSRKcoza or httpsformsofficecom

I stand amazed at the flagrant arrogance of Blue Crane Funerals (BCF) which has the audacity to build a crematorium right on my doorstep a few hundred meters away from my home where the air quality is currently still clean and safe to use Residents should note that BCF intends to build a crematorium at 28 De Kock Street Strand Those who intend to object need to do so before the deadline of 6 September 2021 Objections must be directed to SRK Consulting Lauren Eiston e-mail tel 021 6593060 My objections include the following
1 According to City of Cape Town (CCT) by-Law on Cemeteries Crematoria and Funeral Undertakers of 2011 the application for approval has to comply with all applicable legislation The Scoping and Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of SRK notes a number of Acts but fails to note the National Health and Safety Act 61 of 2003 (NHA) Section 18(1)(a) of the NHA does not allow the location of a crematorium less than 500m away from any habitable dwelling for obvious reasons Air pollution emissions from crematoria include hazardous gasses such as carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chlorides mercury vapour arsenic and selenium The EIS notes the existence of dwellings 150m away from the site and an informal settlement in close proximity to the site but fails to disclose a RDP development located in the same street as the proposed crematorium Consequently these residents are not considered stake holders although their health will be adversely affected by the air pollution generated by the facility There is also a Muslim Primary School located less than 300m away from the site Residents at Onverwacht Weltevreden and Greenways Golf Estate will be negatively impacted How BCF propose to bypass national legislation and why CCT entertains an application which is in obvious violation to national legislation is unclear
2 The EIS states that the air quality of the General Industry zoned industrial area is already of poorer quality to that of surrounding residential areas due to emissions from auto repair shops panel beaters transportation companies and the like but none of these have two 10m high stack chimneys with diesel fired cremators as a constant source of air pollution The current emissions are insignificant compared to what BCF intends for the site
3 Due to the prevailing winds in the Strand the air pollution will be carried across the skyline and pollute a much wider area than the immediate areas to the site
4 The constant air pollution will negatively impact on the value of properties in close proximity and those further away from the site
5 Consent to the application will open the door widely for constitutional law litigation based on the constitutional rights of residents to a clean environment and childrenrsquos rights not to be maltreated in any form including air pollution Class actions against CCT and BCF are also foreseeable if residents suffer health problems due to the emission of poisonous gasses The financial interests of BCF and the rights of the deceased cannot be justified and outweigh the rights of the living especially when those living in the same street as those responsible for emitting poisonous gasses are protected by the NHA
6 Air pollution leads to comorbidities such as heart conditions which has a direct impact on COVID 19 CCT should not be seen to exacerbate the very pandemic they seek to address with their vaccination campaign

OBJECTION TO AIR POLLUTING CREMATORIUM OF BLUE CRANE FUNERALS
I stand amazed at the flagrant arrogance of Blue Crane Funerals (BCF) which has the audacity to build a crematorium right on my doorstep a few hundred meters away from my home where the air quality is currently still clean and safe to use Residents should note that BCF intends to build a crematorium at 28 De Kock Street Strand Those who intend to object need to do so before the deadline of 6 September 2021 Objections must be directed to SRK Consulting Lauren Eiston e-mail LeistonSRKcoza tel 021 6593060 My objections include the following
1 According to City of Cape Town (CCT) by-Law on Cemeteries Crematoria and Funeral Undertakers of 2011 the application for approval has to comply with all applicable legislation The Scoping and Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of SRK notes a number of Acts but fails to note the National Health and Safety Act 61 of 2003 (NHA) Section 18(1)(a) of the NHA does not allow the location of a crematorium less than 500m away from any habitable dwelling for obvious reasons Air pollution emissions from crematoria include hazardous gasses such as carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chlorides mercury vapour arsenic and selenium The EIS notes the existence of dwellings 150m away from the site and an informal settlement in close proximity to the site but fails to disclose a RDP development located in the same street as the proposed crematorium Consequently these residents are not considered stake holders although their health will be adversely affected by the air pollution generated by the facility There is also a Muslim Primary School located less than 300m away from the site Residents at Onverwacht Weltevreden and Greenways Golf Estate will be negatively impacted How BCF propose to bypass national legislation and why CCT entertains an application which is in obvious violation to national legislation is unclear
2 The EIS states that the air quality of the General Industry zoned industrial area is already of poorer quality to that of surrounding residential areas due to emissions from auto repair shops panel beaters transportation companies and the like but none of these have two 10m high stack chimneys with diesel fired cremators as a constant source of air pollution The current emissions are insignificant compared to what BCF intends for the site
3 Due to the prevailing winds in the Strand the air pollution will be carried across the skyline and pollute a much wider area than the immediate areas to the site
4 The constant air pollution will negatively impact on the value of properties in close proximity and those further away from the site
5 Consent to the application will open the door widely for constitutional law litigation based on the constitutional rights of residents to a clean environment and childrenrsquos rights not to be maltreated in any form including air pollution Class actions against CCT and BCF are also foreseeable if residents suffer health problems due to the emission of poisonous gasses The financial interests of BCF and the rights of the deceased cannot be justified and outweigh the rights of the living especially when those living in the same street as those responsible for emitting poisonous gasses are protected by the NHA
6 Air pollution leads to comorbidities such as heart conditions which has a direct impact on COVID 19 CCT should not be seen to exacerbate the very pandemic they seek to address with their vaccination campaign
I sincerely trust that CCT will not approve the application for the development of this crematorium

development as well as properties further away from the development of BCF will be negatively affected due to the carrying wind pollution The affected areas will include the Greenways Golf Estate and more affluent Strand areas The users of the Strand Boardwalk recreational facility much valued for exercise and recreation will also suffer the effects of the pollution The Strand is also home to many senior citizens who has chosen this seaside village as their final retirement destination They too will be effected by the pollution
4 We have taken the liberty to question some residents of the RDP township further down the street from the proposed development for input and found that none of them seem to be aware of the BCF crematorium Their health will be directly affected by the pollution which is indicative of the fact that proper due processes were not followed It is also an indication of a total disregard for the rights of the less privileged whose rights to equality are protected under section 9 of the Constitution
5 Childrenrsquos rights are protected under section 28 of the Constitution Section 28(1)(d) protects the child from maltreatment We suggest that pollution is a form of maltreatment In terms of section 28(2) the childrsquos best interest is of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child It is submitted that pollution on the doorstep of a primary school affecting the health and safety of children must be of paramount importance Such a health and safety hazard cannot be in their best interest
6 It is common knowledge that air pollution leads to the dropping of blood oxygen levels in our bodies which creates heart conditions a comorbidity which has a direct bearing on COVID19 (httpsaljazeeracom) Does CCT really want to be seen to exacerbate the very pandemic which they so desperately seek to address with their vaccination campaign We think not
For all the above reasons it is our submission that the proposed crematorium of BCF and the associated infrastructure should be rejected
The writers will appreciate more objections which must be made prior to the closing date for objections on 6 September 2021 Kindly direct objections to Lauren Eiston Senior Environmental Consultant SRK Consulting tel 021 6593060 email LeistonSRKcoza or httpsformsofficecom

OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED CREMATORIUM OF BLUE CRANE FUNERALS
This is a formal objection to the proposed crematorium and associated infrastructure which Blue
Crane Funerals (Pty) Ltd (BCF) intends to develop at Erf 22973 28 De Kock Street Strand This
letter is sent to Dan Plato Executive Mayor of the City of Cape Town for attention and comment
Leiston Eiston Senior Environmental Consultant of SRK Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd
Environmental Consultants for noting a formal objection to the proposed development and Editor
of the District Mail Tasmin Cupido for publishing in the local newspaper
We are residents in the Strand who live in close proximity to the proposed crematorium It is our
submission that the City of Cape Town (CCT) should never have entertained this development
for the following reasons
1 The By-Law of CCT on Cemeteries Crematoria and Funeral Undertakers of 2011 at
52(2)(a) provides that the application has to comply with all applicable legislation One of
the most important applicable legislative provisions is contained in the National Health Act
no 61 0f 2003 (NHA) Section 18(1)(a) of the NHA provides that a cremation facility must
be located at least 500m from any habitable dwelling CCT needs to note that a RDP
development is located less than 200m away in the same street as the proposed
crematorium The Strand Muslim Primary School is located approximately 300m away
from the proposed crematorium and residents in George Street Hammond Street Van
Rheede Street and Nolte Street are all located less than 500m away from the proposed
crematorium as the crow flies How does CCT propose to bypass national legislation
The legislation is not there for decorative purposes It is intended to set a minimum
standard for the prevention of health hazards to citizens and animals in close proximity to
harmful chemicals emissions of crematoriums It has been well documented in studies
notably a study done by the Cooperative Memorial Society on the effects of cremation on
the environment (httpswwwcalgarymemorialcom) that crematoriums are responsible
for the emission of harmful chemical gasses which include carbon dioxide carbon
monoxide nitrogen oxide sulpher dioxide hydrogen chlorides mercury vapour as well as
arsenic and selenium It is conceivable that those effected could sue CCT and BCF if their
health is compromised by a development which was approved in contravention of national
legislation
2 The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996 (the Constitution) in section 24 of
the Bill of Rights provides that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful
to their health or well-being and that the state has the duty to ldquo(i) prevent pollution and
ecological degradation (ii) promote conservation and (iii) secure ecologically sustainable
development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social
developmentrdquo The Constitution therefore obliges the City to inter alia prevent pollution
while also promoting economic development but only if the development is reasonable
and justifiable This site for the proposed crematorium cannot be justified at the cost of the
health of the community even if a demand exists for such a service because BCF needs
to find a suitable location which complies with the standards of the NHA The rights of the
family of the deceased and the financial interests of the developer cannot be justified and
outweigh the rights of living residents school children and animals of the community
3 If the development is approved the health of residents more remote from the proposed
crematorium will also be affected because the air pollution will be carried by winds
endemic to the Strand area The value of residential properties in close proximity to the
2
development as well as properties further away from the development of BCF will be
negatively affected due to the carrying wind pollution The affected areas will include the
Greenways Golf Estate and more affluent Strand areas The users of the Strand
Boardwalk recreational facility much valued for exercise and recreation will also suffer the
effects of the pollution The Strand is also home to many senior citizens who has chosen
this seaside village as their final retirement destination They too will be effected by the
pollution
4 We have taken the liberty to question some residents of the RDP township further down
the street from the proposed development for input and found that none of them seem to
be aware of the BCF crematorium Their health will be directly affected by the pollution
which is indicative of the fact that proper due processes were not followed It is also an
indication of a total disregard for the rights of the less privileged whose rights to equality
are protected under section 9 of the Constitution
5 Childrenrsquos rights are protected under section 28 of the Constitution Section 28(1)(d)
protects the child from maltreatment We suggest that pollution is a form of maltreatment
In terms of section 28(2) the childrsquos best interest is of paramount importance in every
matter concerning the child It is submitted that pollution on the doorstep of a primary
school affecting the health and safety of children must be of paramount importance Such
a health and safety hazard cannot be in their best interest
6 It is common knowledge that air pollution leads to the dropping of blood oxygen levels in
our bodies which creates heart conditions a comorbidity which has a direct bearing on
COVID19 (httpsaljazeeracom) Does CCT really want to be seen to exacerbate the
very pandemic which they so desperately seek to address with their vaccination
campaign We think not
For all the above reasons it is our submission that the proposed crematorium of BCF and the
associated infrastructure should be rejected
The writers will appreciate more objections which must be made prior to the closing date for
objections on 6 September 2021 Kindly direct objections to Lauren Eiston Senior Environmental
Consultant SRK Consulting tel 021 6593060 email LeistonSRKcoza or

development as well as properties further away from the development of BCF will be
negatively affected due to the carrying wind pollution The affected areas will include the
Greenways Golf Estate and more affluent Strand areas The users of the Strand
Boardwalk recreational facility much valued for exercise and recreation will also suffer the
effects of the pollution The Strand is also home to many senior citizens who has chosen
this seaside village as their final retirement destination They too will be effected by the
pollution
4 We have taken the liberty to question some residents of the RDP township further down
the street from the proposed development for input and found that none of them seem to
be aware of the BCF crematorium Their health will be directly affected by the pollution
which is indicative of the fact that proper due processes were not followed It is also an
indication of a total disregard for the rights of the less privileged whose rights to equality
are protected under section 9 of the Constitution
5 Childrenrsquos rights are protected under section 28 of the Constitution Section 28(1)(d)
protects the child from maltreatment We suggest that pollution is a form of maltreatment
In terms of section 28(2) the childrsquos best interest is of paramount importance in every
matter concerning the child It is submitted that pollution on the doorstep of a primary
school affecting the health and safety of children must be of paramount importance Such
a health and safety hazard cannot be in their best interest
6 It is common knowledge that air pollution leads to the dropping of blood oxygen levels in
our bodies which creates heart conditions a comorbidity which has a direct bearing on
COVID19 (httpsaljazeeracom) Does CCT really want to be seen to exacerbate the
very pandemic which they so desperately seek to address with their vaccination
campaign We think not
For all the above reasons it is our submission that the proposed crematorium of BCF and the
associated infrastructure should be rejected
The writers will appreciate more objections which must be made prior to the closing date for
objections on 6 September 2021 Kindly direct objections to Lauren Eiston Senior Environmental

Hello Lelston
Ive read your introductory document for the drafting of a petition
for signature by the rate-payer associations and residents around
De Kock Street Strand in which the Municipal ward Councillors and
Sub-Councils should be involved as well as the Parliamentary
Representative for the constituency concerned
Official written complaints should be lodged with the Municipal and
Provincial Departments of Environmental Affairswith regard to the
threat of unhygienic air-pollution which will emanate from the
chimney-stack of the proposed crematorium
Both the social-media and the local newspapers should be utilised
to inform the public of the harmful effects of the smoke pollution and
contamination of the air in and around the proposed crematorium which
should be vigorously and vehemently opposed and objected to with the
threat of property rate-payers withholding in an attorneys trust banking
account their monthly rates payments in the event of the construction
of the crematorium being proceeded with regardless of the mass of
objections thereto
Aproper petition provides for the names and signatures of the petitioners
I wish you every success with your petition
