Project Background: An integrated EIA and waste management licensing process (DEA Ref 14/12/16/3/3/3/61) is currently underway for the co-firing of gas, produced by the Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) operations, at the Majuba Power Station. This includes all associated infrastructure i.e. production and injection wells, monitoring boreholes, wastewater treatment works, new service roads, and, a new condensate (process water) dam. On 02 April 2013, the final Environmental Scoping Report (ESR) was accepted by the DEA. The compilation of the draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) was drafted thereafter. It should however be noted that during the ESR phase irregularities in the permitting of the existing Pilot Plant were noted and thus a rectification process was entered into for portions of the existing infrastructure not covered by the existing permits. As such the draft EIAR cannot be concluded at this point as it may not be submitted prior to the environmental authorisation for rectification being issued by the DEA. The application entails the rectification of the construction of the following infrastructure: Pipelines internal to site: main pipeline to Majuba Power Station crosses one (1) perennial stream and one (1) river. Raw water dam: ± 3,000 m 3 situated within the Gasifier 1 footprint serving as emergency water supply. Condensate (process water) dam: ± 12,000 m 3 in size situated within Gasifier 1 s footprint. Borrow pit: ± 2.5 ha, established on the farm Roodekopjes 67HS developed to fill up an old borrow pit on the same farm and for construction of the project s roads. Access and service roads: new roads developed to access the Pilot Plant infrastructure of approximately ± 6.7 km, crossing 4 (four) watercourses. Gas Treatment Plant (GTP): simplified pilot version established with a footprint of 30 x 60 m consisting of (a) heat exchanger, (b) liquid separation vessels, (c) emergency gas flare stack, (d) auxiliary pumps and motors, and (e) other small equipment. Hazardous substance storage: bulk storage diesel tanks 2 x 23 m 3 (46 m 3 ) within a bunded area. Water treatment plant (WTP): water filtration plant with 2 x 23 m 3 (46 m 3 ) tanks that are used for the separation of water and waste. All illegal activities commenced on the farm Roodekopjes 67 HS (Portions 1, 2, 3 and remaining extent) where the UCG Pilot Plant and associated infrastructure are located. The farm as well as the above-mentioned portions are owned by Eskom.
