ProposalDescription: 

In order to facilitate the management of a decommissioning mine and an operational mine, Sasol Mining wants to separate the current approved 2011 integrated Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) into two separate management programmes.

Expanded_Motivation: 

One for the Middelbult Colliery (decommissioning mine) and one for the Shondoni Colliery (operational mine). In addition, Sasol Mining’ Shondoni Colliery wishes to expand its operations to a new Block 8 North Reserve Area. This will require that four prospecting rights be included into the larger mining right (MP 30/5/1/2/3/2/1/138 MR) applicable to the coal reserve area. This proposed project will focus on the operations of the Shondoni Colliery and all the related current and proposed activities. Proposed activities include the underground mining associated with the new Block 8 North Reserve Area as well as four new ventilation shafts. To ensure sufficient ventilation, these shafts are required in the north, north western region of the Shondoni Colliery EMPr boundary area. The proposed project requires Environmental Authorisation (EA) in terms of the provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act No. 28 of 2002; MPRDA), the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998; NEMA) as well as the National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998; NWA). Based on the nature of the proposed activities at Shondoni Colliery, the necessary applications have to be supported inter alia by a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment and Reporting (S&EIR) Process as provided for in the 2014 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (GNR 982 of 04 December 2014), as amended.
