ProposalDescription: 

Proposed sludge disposal facilities and associated pipelines for the treatment of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the eastern basin of the Witwatersrand, Gauteng Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Digby Wells’ services have been enlisted by AECOM to conduct the Environmental Authorisation (EA) process. The EA process is supported by detailed specialist studies for the preferred sites for sludge disposal facilities and associated pipelines for the treatment of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the eastern basin of the Witwatersrand. The EA process is conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA) and National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2009 (Act No. 58 of 2009) (NEM:WA). The Scope of Work (SoW) for the heritage study was to complete a Notification of Intent to Develop (NID) required in terms of Section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act, 1999 (Act No. 25 of 1999) (NHRA) for submission to the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) and Gauteng Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (PHRA-G). The NID included appropriate information regarding the nature of the development and the existence of potential heritage resources that may occur within the project location. This information was obtained through primary and secondary data collection, and desktop review of text-based sources respectively.
