NOTIFICATION OF SUBMISSION OF AMENDED EIA APPLICATION FORM TO DEA

AVAILABILITY OF MEETING PRESENTATIONS

REMINDER NOTIFICATION OF THE AVAILABILITY OF THE DEIR AND WML VARIATION APPLICATION

Notification of submission of amended EIA Application Form to DEA

This letter serves to notify all stakeholders that an amended EIA application form (non-integrated application) was

submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) on 26 March 2018. Due to the changes to the

packaging of the various components of the Medupi FGD Retrofit Project, as explained in the two Bridging

Documents and DEIR, the submission of an amended EIA application form to the DEA was necessary due to the fact

that the EIA application was no longer an application for integrated environmental authorisation and waste

management licence in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), as

amended and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2010; and the National Environmental

Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008).

As a result, an application for authorisation in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No.

107 of 1998), and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014 only has been applied for through the

submission of the amended EIA Application Form to the DEA. A new DEA reference number will be assigned to

Medupi FGD Retrofit Project EIA process which will be communicated to all stakeholders once received.

The amended EIA Application Form, including the bridging documents and DEIR referred to above, is available for

do load fro Zitholele’s ebsite www.zitholele.co.za/environmental/) under headi g EIA for Medupi FGD .

representatives of the Waterberg Environmental Justice Forum (WEJF) on 14 March 2018, who is an active

Community Based Organisation in the local communities.

Reminder: DEIR and WML available for Public Review

This letter serves to remind you that the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) is currently available for public
