Before RPM may commence with the development of the additional mining related activities, the following environmental authorisations processes and licence amendment need to be undertaken in accordance with the relevant national legislation:
- A Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for any project related Listed Activities stipulated in the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA) and the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (Act No. 59 of 2008) (NEM:WA). The Der Brochen Mine’s existing EMPr will be amended in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act No. 28 of 2002) (MPRDA). The Scoping, EIA and amended EMPr will be submitted to Limpopo Province’s DMR for approval; and
- An updated Integrated Water Use Licence (IWUL) for any project related water uses and accompanying Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan (IWWMP) under the National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998) (NWA), for submission and approval from the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS).
The Scoping Report is now available for public review. All stakeholders are encouraged to comment on the Scoping Report by Monday, 04 March 2019, as your comments and suggestions on any aspect of the project will ultimately assist the relevant authorities to make an informed decision.
You are welcome to comment on the Scoping Report by:
