Dear Clients and Colleagues
Please take note that on 24 July 2015, the Minister of Environmental Affairs made
regulations regarding the planning and management of residue stockpiles and
residue deposits from prospecting, mining, exploration or production operation
(“Regulations”) under section 69(1)(iA) of the National Environmental Management:
Waste Act 59 of 2008 (“NEMWA”). The Regulations came into operation on date of
publication thereof, i.e. 24 July 2015.
Further, please take note that on 24 July 2015 the Minster amended the List of Waste
Management Activities that have, or are likely to have, a detrimental effect on the
environment (GN 921 of 29 November 2013). The List has been amended to include
the establishment or reclamation of residue stockpiles or residue deposits which
require a right or permit in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
Development Act 28 of 2002 under category A and category B of the listed waste
management activities.
