Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) operates numerous gold mines in South Africa and has a concentration of mining activities in the Welkom-Virginia area of the Free State Province. Harmony’s Target Operations, which are located in the vicinity of the town of Allanridge, Free State Province, comprise the following components:  Target 1 Shaft;  Target 2 Shaft;  Target 3 Shaft (under care and maintenance);  Freddie’s Shaft and Freddie’s Dam; and  Target Plant. Harmony is proposing to construct a new slurry and return water pipelines from its TGT 2 Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) in order to deposit tailings at the Freddies 9 TSF as Target 1 and 2 TSF have reached their final design height and have become unserviceable. The pipelines will be a flanged steel pipes installed above-ground on pre-cast concrete plinths.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed development is situated between the towns of Allanridge and Odendaalsrus and is 21 km north of the town of Welkom in the Free State Province. The proposed development site is located in Allanridge west of the Nyakallong Township, Matjhabeng Local Municipality within the district boundaries of Lejweleputswa District Municipality. The proposed pipelines are sited largely on Harmony-owned or municipal land. The two pipelines will be installed parallel to each other. The proposed return water pipeline of about 8.3km long will starts from Freddies 9 Return Water Dam (RWD) with coordinates 27°50'31.66"S and 26°40'32.30" to TGT 2 TSF with coordinates 27°47'32.23"S and 26°38'20.25"E where it is connected to the existing pipelines towards the Target Plant. The two pipelines run parallel to each other along the proposed route.
