| Application for Amendment of Environmental Authorisation - Proposed establishment of the Exxaro West Coast Wind Farm and Associated Infrastructure, Western Cape Province (DEA Reference 12/12/20/1932) |
Exxaro Resources obtained an authorisation for the construction of a wind energy facility and associated infrastructure on a site near Brand se Baai, Western Cape Province in June 2011. In terms of this Authorisation, the project description referred to the installation of 26 wind turbine units (circa 80m in height) with a circa 100 m diameter rotor.
Following analysis of the wind data collected on site, and in finalising the site development plan, Exxaro Resources is now proposing to install up to 26 turbines with an increased hub height up to circa 100 m with a circa 100m diameter rotor.This will enable the developer to increase the net energy production for the wind farm, thereby increasing the efficiency of the facility.
In addition, it is the intention of Exxaro Resources to develop the project under a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).Exxaro Resources hereby requests the amendment of the Environmental Authorisation to reflect the SPV as the project developer.
A request for amendment of the Environmental Authorisation has been prepared , and includes the motivation for amendment, as well as the assessment of potential visual impacts and impacts on avifauna as a result in the increase in hub height. In terms of Regulation 56 of the EIA Regulations (2010), an opportunity is now provided for registered interested and affected parties to submit written comment on the amendment application. Please submit your written comment by 18 November 2011 to swjohnston@mweb.co.za.

-
An underground concrete foundation of approximately 22m x 22m to support each tower.
-
To reduce the development footprint of the proposed facility (i.e. 10 less turbines than the 50 turbines originally proposed).
A request for amendment to the environmental authorisation has been prepared, and includes the motivation for the amendment, as well as an assessment of the increased hub height on avifauna and visual impacts. In terms of Regulation 56 of the EIA Regulations (2010), an opportunity is now provided for registered interested and affected parties to submit written comment on the amendment application. Please submit your written comment by 30 September 2011 to swjohnston@mweb.co.za.

| Waste Licence for Proposed Remediation of Asbestos Contaminated Land on Railway Stations in Mpumalanga (DEA ref 12/9/11/L690/6) |
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) plans to embark on a country-wide clean-up and remediation of asbestos contaminated land along their operational footprint. The asbestos clean-up initiative is proposed in order to remediate the impacts of historical pollution caused by incidental spillage of asbestos-containing products during earlier years of transportation of processed asbestos and asbestos ores from mines to harbours for export (note that TFR no longer transports asbestos in South Africa since the banning of Asbestos in 2008). Prior to undertaking the asbestos clean-up, TFR is required to obtain a waste licence from the National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in line with the requirements of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act of 2008. Therefore, Environmental Basic Assessment Processess were undertaken for the various remediation sites. The following Raiway stations are currently being investigated:
- Nelspruit Railway Station, Mpumalanga
- Komatipoort Railway Station, Mpumalanga
- Barberton Railway Station, Mpumalanga

| Proposed Upgrading of the Existing Welgedacht Water Care Works, Gauteng Province Reference: Gaut 002/08-09/NO732 |
The East Rand Water Care Company (ERWAT) provides bulk wastewater management services to the Ekurhuleni Metro, which consists of previous municipalities of Kempton Park, Germiston, Alberton, Brakpan, Boksburg, Benoni and Springs. The existing Welgedacht Water Care Works (WCW) is currently under severe pressure from increasing wastewater volumes draining towards the plant due to new developments within the catchment. In order to adequately treat the wastewater volumes expected to drain towards the Welgedacht WCW in the short- and long-term, ERWAT are proposing the expansion of the Welgedacht WCW by approximately 100Ml/d over the next 30 years.

| Waste Licence for the Proposed Remediation of Asbestos Contaminated Land on the Nsese Railway Station in KwaZulu-Natal (DEA ref 12/9/11/L689/4) |
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) plans to embard on a country-wide clean up and remediation of asbestos contaminated land along their operational footprint. The asbestos clean-up initiative is proposed in order to remediate the impacts of historical pollution caused by incidental spillage of asbestos- containing products during earlier years of transportation of processed asbestos and asbestos ores from mines to harbours for export (note that TFR no longer transports asbestos in South Africa since the banning of Asbestos in 2008). Prior to undertaking the asbestos clean-up, TFR is required to obtain a waste licence from the National Department of Environment Affairs (DEA) in line with the requirements of the National Environment Management: Waste Act of 2008. Therefore, an Environmental Basic Assessment Process is underway for the remediation of the Nsese Railway Station in KwaZulu-Natal.
Please note that the Nsese site was deemed an "NAD" site as no asbestos was detected through the risk assessment undertaken by CSS. TFR recognises that asbestos may be present in its operational areas of the Nsese yard, in various forms, conditions and types and that an effective asbestos clean-up and management strategy is therefore required in order to manage the potential risks to empolyees, contractors and community members surrounding the site.

| Transmission power lines between Koeberg 2 and Omega Substation, Western Cape Province - Reference 12/12/20/1218 |
Eskom Holdings Limited (Eskom) is conducting a feasibility study of new conventional nuclear generation in the greater Cape region, with potential sites at Duynefontein (adjacent to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station), Thuyspunt (near Jeffreys Bay) and Bantamsklip (near Pearly Beach). This is known as the Nuclear-1 project which is still faily open in terms of the location of the plant as well as the type and number of units to be installed. The transmission integration must therefore accommodate such uncertainties as far as practicable. As such, Eskom Transmission is investigating possible transmission power line routes from each of these three sites.

| Mokopane Integration Project, Limpopo Province - Reference 12/12/20/1187 |
In order to support the upsurge in demand for the platinum group metals in the Mokopane area, and to support the reliability of electricity supply to the Polokwane area, Eskom Transmission is proposing the introduction of the Mokopane Integration Project. This project includes the construction of the following components:
- A new substation near Mokopane
- Integration of the new substation into the transmission system by looping in and out of one of the existing Matimba-Witkop 400kV transmission power lines, a distance of approximately 10 km.
- A new 400kV transmision power line between the Delta Substation (near the Medupi Power Station) and the proposed new Mokopane Substation, a distance of approximately 150 km.
- A new 400kV transmission power line between the new Mokopane Substation and the existing Witkop Substation (near Polokwane), a distance of approximately 60 km.
- A new 400kV transmission power line between Delta Substation and the existing Witkop Substation, a distance of approximately 200 km.
- Extension of the existing Witkop Substation and associated works to integrate the new Mokopane Substation into the Transmission grid (e.g. access roads, communication tower) and accommodate new lines at existing substations (e.g. the construction of new feeder bays within the existing substation sites).
Feasible substation and transmission power line alternatives have been identified for investigation within a broader study area. Towns/villages which are located within the study area include Lephalale, Seleka, Shongoane, Bakenburg, Lekalakala, Bakoni Ba Matlala, Mokopane, Matlala, Vaaltyn, Mashashane and Maraba.
In terms of Section 24 and 24D of the National Environmental Management Act (No 107 of 1998), as read with Government Notices R385 (Regulations 27-36) and R387, a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) are required to be undertaken for this proposed project. Initially two applications were lodged with DEAT and were given Application Reference numbers 12/12/20/1187 (substation and turn-in lines) and 12/12/20/1140 (transmission lines). These applications have subsequently been consolidated under Application Reference number 12/12/20/1187.
In this regard, Savannah Environmental has been appointed as an independent consultant to undertake the required EIA process, and ILISO Consulting has been appointed to undertake the required public participation process for the proposed project. In undertaking the environmental studies, Savannah Environmental will be assisted by the following specialists:
- Riaan Robbeson of Bathusi Environmental Consulting - Biodiversity specialist
- Megan Diamond of Endangered Wildlife Trust - Avifauna specialist
- Julius Pistorius - Heritage specialist
- Lourens du Plessis of MetroGIS - Visual specialist
- Nonka Byker and Anita Bron of MasterQ Research - Social impact assessment. land use and tourism
The Environmental Authorisation for the project was issued by DEA on 1 December 2010.

| Application for Amendment of Environmental Authorisation - Proposed AB's Wind Energy Facility, Eastern Cape Province (DEA Reference 12/12/20/1738) |
DNA Wind Farm obtained an authorisation for the construction of a wind energy facility and associated infrastructure on a site near Indwe, Eastern Cape Province (DEA Ref No: 12/12/20/1738) on 27 June 2011. This environmental authorisation (EA) included authorisation for up to 24 wind turbines with a tip height of up to 140 m. Analysis of the wind resource, as well as technology changes have resulted in proven turbines that capture more energy for a given wind speed. The project developer is now proposing to:
• Increase the hub of the wind turbines from 90m to a maximum hub height of up to 105m
• Increase the maximum tip height from 140 m to 150 m.
In terms of Condition 1.6 of the EA, an applicant can apply to the competent authority for a change or deviation from the project description. A request for amendment to the environmental authorisation has been prepared, and includes the motivation for the amendment, as well as an assessment of the increased hub height on avifauna, as well as potential visual impacts. In terms of Regulation 56 of the EIA Regulations (2010), an opportunity is now provided for registered interested and affected parties to submit written comment on the amendment application.
