Summary
A 2014 letter from the South African Department of Environmental Affairs to the manager of Lethabo Power Station confirming the closure of a pre-compliance notice following the resolution of several environmental non-compliances identified during a 2009 inspection.
Key insights
- The Department of Environmental Affairs closed a pre-compliance notice for Lethabo Power Station after the facility addressed several environmental concerns identified during an inspection on 3 November 2009.
- The facility resolved an issue regarding the unauthorised dumping of sludge from the Water Treatment Plant onto the Ash Dump, having ceased the activity in 2009 and providing proof of disposal at the Enviroserv landfill site (Holfontein) for 2010 and 2011.
- To address a damaged liner at the Maturation Pond, the facility applied for a Waste Management License (WML) to construct a new pond, which will allow for the removal of the current pond's contents and replacement of the liner.
- The facility addressed non-compliances related to a 1993 waste permit by applying for a WML to close and rehabilitate the landfill site and by obtaining an Integrated Water Use License (IWUL) to manage water quality requirements.
- The Department accepted evidence that a diesel spillage from September 2009 was effectively cleaned and the affected area was appropriately rehabilitated.
