Authorisation Process Support

Environmental authorisation for reclaimation of coal residue deposit at Landau Power Lines. 

Anglo Operations (Pty) Ltd (AOL) is proposing to relocate three 400 kV power lines (owned by Eskom) and to reclaim its Landau Mine 3 mineral residue deposit (MRD). The power lines currently traverse AOL’s Landau I and II areas immediately west of the N12 freeway, south of eMalahleni. The existing power line route is at risk due to instability of mined ground surface and needs to be relocated. The proposed new power line route intersects with the Landau 3 MRD and as a result, the material needs to be removed to allow for the power line relocation. Prior to the development of the proposed projects, AOL and Eskom require environmental authorisation from the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) and Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) respectively. SRK Consulting was appointed as the independent enviromental assessment practitioner to manage and facilitate the environmental authorisation process. The project is split into two entities namely: • MRD reclamation (environmental authorisation application to be submitted to the DMR); and • Power line relocation (environmental authorisation application to be submitted to the DEA). This is a separate authorisation process of which Eskom is the applicant.
