ProposalDescription: 

Application in terms of NEMA for the Opencast Mining of Coal for Kebrafield (Pty) Ltd on the farm Roodepoort 151 IS portion 17 in the vicinity of the town of Pullenshope in Mpumalanga.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Eco Elementum (Pty) Ltd has been appointed by Eyethu on behalf of the applicant Kebrafield (Pty) Ltd to undertake the Scoping Environmental Impact Assessment and Water Use Licensing Application for the Opencast Mining of Coal in terms of the the mining right which has been awarded to Kebrafield (Pty) Ltd, MP30/5/1/2/2/479 MR. The mining right includes various farms and associated farm portions although for this specific project only the farm Roodepoort 151 IS portion 17 in the vicinity of the town of Pullenshope in Mpumalanga is being applied for. The project falls within the district municipality of the Nkangala District while the local authority is the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality. This report entails an application for authorisation in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2010, and falls within the jurisdiction of the Department: Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Mpumalanga Provincial Government. The proposed project relate to the opencast mining of approximately 800 000tons of high grade coal over a period of approximately three years. When coal seams are near the surface, it may be economical to extract the coal using open cut (also referred to as open cast, open pit, or strip) mining methods. Open cast coal mining recovers a greater proportion of the coal deposit than underground methods, as more of the coal seams in the strata may be exploited. The activity will cover approximately 50 hectares and is situated next to the town of Pullenshope downstream of the Eskom Hendrina Power Station.
