1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 TERMS OF REFERENCE

Sasol South Africa (Pty) Limited operating through its Secunda Synfuels Operations (Sasol) appointed WSP

Environmental (Pty) Ltd (WSP) as an independent environmental consultant, to undertake a compliance audit

and compile an audit report according to the requirements of the National Environmental Management Act (No.

107 of 1998) as amended (NEMA). This report presents the findings of the compliance audit completed for the

Environmental Authorisation (EA) (Reference number: 17.2.4.EV7 issued on 06 December 2002) for the period

December 2014 to February 2019.

1.2 OIL BLENDING FACILITY (AUTHORISATION NUMBER:

17.2.4.EV7)

An EA was issued to Sasol by the Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Environment,

Southern Highveld Region Environmental Management; for the construction of an oil blending facility that

enables processing, blending and loading of oil products at Sasol Carbo-Tar.

The project was aimed at upgrading potential fuel oil by blending it with a higher-grade fuel oil to a final

composition of flash point, density and viscosity desired by the market.

The oil blending facility is comprised of the following installations:

— Four oil-blending tanks with agitators steam coils and attachments;

— Four oil pumps and motors;

— Storage of fuel oil products;

— Loading of fuel oil products into road tanker for transportation to the customers; and,

— Infra structural support from Sasol Carbo Tar.

Figure 1 provides an overview of the location of the facility.

The EA was issued on 06 December 2002, and it has been confirmed that the construction phase was completed

prior to December 2014 (i.e. outside the audit period).

2 AUDIT SCOPE The 7 April 2017 amendment to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations introduced the

requirement for the auditing for all EAs and EMPrs in effect on 8 December 2014 and submission of audit

reports to the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) by 7 December 2019 and every five years thereafter.

This audit is designed to meet the requirements of Regulation 34 of the EIA Regulations, 2014.

The audit period runs from December 2014 to February 2019, therefore any construction related conditions that

would have been relevant pre-December 2014 are considered not applicable (outside audit period).

The objective of the audit was to:

— Assess the level of compliance with the conditions of the EA;

— Identify and assess any new impacts and risks that result from undertaking the activity;

— Make recommendations in order to achieve compliance in terms of the EA; and,

— Ensure the commitments contained in Condition 9.01 of the Exemption are completed, more specifically:

— “Records relating to the compliance/non-compliance with the conditions of the authorization must be

kept in good order. Such records must be made available to this Department within seven (7) working

days from the date of the written request by the Department for such records”.


WSP June 2019

Page 4

3 AUDIT METHODOLOGY The International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) 14010, ISO 14011 and ISO 14012 guideline documents

were utilised as a template during the compliance audit process. This methodology ensures that the compliance

audit was conducted in a systematic and independent manner that was documented and objectively evaluated to

determine compliance to the EA conditions.

The audit process comprised the following:

— Confirmation of the audit checklist;

— Site inspection (12 March 2019);

— Review of documentation relevant to the conditions of the EA (e.g. records, permits/certificates/maintenance

logs/monitoring results/previous reports etc.); and

— Compilation of an audit report.

3.1 AUDIT CHECKLIST

WSP compiled an audit checklist to assist with the EA compliance audit (Section 4).

3.2 SITE INSPECTION

Ziyaad Kadwa conducted the site inspection on 12 March 2019. The findings and observations of the site visit

are recorded and summarised in Section 4 with evidence included in Table 2. Key personnel interviewed

included:

— Piet Kleynhans (Area Manager; TPS Production: Carbo Tar).

— Collin Jaynarain (Area Manager; Gas Liquor Separation: Unit 213).

3.4 AUDIT COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT

WSP utilised a pre-prepared audit checklist to assist with the audit execution (Table 2). The checklist included

the conditions and associated requirements as specified in the EA.

Each condition was verified, either by reviewing documentation, interviewing employees and/or visually

inspecting the facility. Each condition was rated in accordance with Table 1 below, and recommendations with

associated target completion dates included.

It should be noted that some of the EA conditions were apportioned according to the elements requiring

compliance assessment therein. Although some elements of the condition may have been compliant, if one of

the elements was determined to be non-compliant, the entire condition has been reported as such (and counted

as such during percentage compliance calculation). This apportionment further allowed for the development of

focussed recommendations and timeframes.

Table 1: Compliance Level Definition and Target Completion Dates

COMPLIANCE LEVEL DEFINITION

Compliant (C) Sasol could provide evidence for compliance with the commitment and condition and/or

relevant actions were implemented.

Non-compliant (NC) Specified commitments, conditions and documents were not in place or implemented

according to the requirements of the EA. Non-complaint conditions are given target

completion dates, as follows:

— Short term: 0 – 6 months.

— Medium term: 6 – 12 months.

— Long term: 12 – 18 months.

Not applicable (N/A) These are commitments are either not required yet or not applicable to Sasol.

— Conditions marked as “Noted” are considered information points only.

— Where conditions are considered “not auditable” within the scope of this assessment this

is stated and explained within the condition commentary.

Refer to Section 4 for the detailed audit findings (including evidence, recommendations and target completion

dates).
