Key insights
- Atha-Africa Ventures (Pty) Ltd was granted a water use license (Licence No: 06/481 A/ACEG) under the National Water Act, 1998, for activities including the altering of watercourses and the removal of water for underground mining.
- The water use license identifies several specific properties affected by the project, including Kromboek 93 HT, Yzermyn 86 HT, and Zoifontein 94 HT.
- The license mandates strict water quality monitoring, specifying target parameters such as pH (6.0-8.5), temperature (variation <10%), and dissolved oxygen.
- The project is required to implement long-term mitigation measures specifically to address Acid Mine Drainage (AMD).
- The license requires the submission of various technical reports, including a Stormwater Management Plan from March 2016 and a Wetland Ecological Assessment from June 2014.
- Correspondence indicates that a new application for environmental authorization would be necessary if there were changes to the listed activities or if the electricity output changed.
