ProposalDescription: 

The Vandyksdrift Central (VDDC) area falls within the footprint of historic underground mining operations at the old Douglas Colliery. In 2007, an amendment of the EMPR for the Douglas Colliery operations was approved, to allow pillar mining (opencast) of the area previously mined by underground bord and pillar mining. This EMPR Amendment included limited additional infrastructure in support of the opencast mining operations, as it was assumed at that stage that existing infrastructure will be used. The Consultation Scoping Report (CSR) for the proposed infrastructure development was made available for public review from 8 October to 7 November 2018, which described the proposed infrastructure development. Prior to finalisation of the Scoping Report, several changes to the proposed application are required and therefore a Revised CSR has been compiled. In addition to changes in the infrastructure layout, the proposed VDDC opencast pit boundary as determined through the pre-feasibility investigation differs from the mine layout in the 2007 approved EMPR amendment. An area of approximately 196 hectares in the latest mine lay-out was not included in the previous mine layout and is therefore not approved to be opencast mined. This application is taking place in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
