ProposalDescription:

Mr Bezuidenhout is also a registered EAP and Aquatic Ecologist. The project entails the incorporation of a washing plant at an existing coal siding that is leased from Transnet Freight Rail. The activities include receiving of coal product by truck over a weighbridge, coal stockpiling, and shunting and loading of the washed coal product. Other activities include dust suppression and general housekeeping such as grading roads and cleaning coal spillage around the rail line. Due to the Broodsnyersplaas siding being operational before the promulgation of the Environmental Conservation Act, 1989, no Environmental Authorisation has been applied for by the former South African Railways. Puleng Resources (Pty) Ltd is applying for an Environmental Impact Assessment in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No 107 of 1998) (as amended).
