ProposalDescription: 

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) commissioned a study in 2007, completed in 2009, that aimed at identifying and determining the number of waste disposal facilities in South Africa that are not licenced. Of a total of 581 sites that were identified, 431 needed to be licensed. It was evident from the study that Local Municipalities (LMs) did not have adequate training or funding for lodging applications to licence their unlicensed waste disposal facilities or the management thereof. The Minister undertook to begin the process of licencing these sites, with a target that all would be licenced by 2013/2014. Subsequently, the DEA has identified an additional 57 municipal waste disposal facilities which must be licensed during the 2014/15 financial year. The licensing of the Riemvasmaak landfill falls within the scope of this process. The Khai Garib Local Municipality is applying for a waste management license for the closure of the existing Riemvasmaak Landfill. The landfill is located about 2.1 km south east of Riemvasmaak settlement, Northern Cape. Waste generated in the settlement of Riemvasmaak is currently collected on a weekly basis for disposal at the existing Kakamas Landfill. However, some domestic waste is currently dumped illegally, after which it is burnt at the existing Riemvasmaak landfill site.
