ProposalDescription: 

Anglo American Platinum Limited: Rustenburg Platinum Mines’ (AAP-RPM) Mogalakwena Mine Complex intends to undertake a Regulation 31 Amendment process in order to amend the heights of the Waste Rock Disposal Facilities as previously approved by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy DMRE (Reference: LP 30/5/1/2/3/2/1 (050) EM). As part of this process, the existing approved Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) will be updated and aligned with this Regulation 31 Application.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Mogalakwena Mine Complex is in possession of a number of approved EMPrs for the current operation. WRD Facilities W01 and W07 were approved to a height of 60m in the 1997 approved EMPr, and WRD RS3 was similarly approved to a height of 60m in the 2001 approved EMPr. WRD facilities East (WRD020) and WRD West (WRD02) were both approved to a height of 175m and 95m respectively based on the design drawings in the 2003 approved EMPr. In 2019, the approved EMPrs were consolidated and amended as part of the Mogalakwena Expansion project. As part of the consolidation and amendment process, all approved EMPrs were combined into one EMPr which also then included the activities associated with the Expansion Project. This consolidation and amendment EMPr was approved by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) in August 2020. Although the approved design heights of WRD East (WRD020) and WRD West (WRD02) were 175m and 95m respectively, the approved 2003 EMPr had erroneously reflected their final heights as being 60m. These errors were unfortunately carried over into the 2020 approved EMPr. In addition, as WRD Facilities W01 and W07 and RS3 exceed the approved 60 m heights. Mogalakwena Mine therefore wishes to correct these errors through a Regulation 31 Amendment process. The 2020 approved EMPr will be updated and aligned with this Regulation 31 Application
