SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERT REPORT OF DR. RANAJIT (RON) SAHU EVALUATING THE UPDATED AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED LEPHALALE COAL MINE
This document consists of two distinct parts: a supplemental expert report by Dr. Ranajit (Ron) Sahu evaluating the air quality impact assessment (AQIA) for the proposed Lephalale Coal Mine, and a comprehensive Spatial Development Framework (SDF) for the Lephalale Local Municipality. Dr. Sahu concludes that the mine will cause substantial adverse particulate matter (PM) impacts, exceeding national standards even with mitigation. The SDF section provides a long-term spatial plan for the municipality, focusing on the 'energy hub' of Africa, rural development, and the management of urban sprawl and environmental protection.
