supervision in parallel with Site Plan between 1983 and 1986. Specialist expertise in construction project impacts including having served as lead environmental

planner in Setplan’s award winning Lesotho Highlands Water Project Team. Author of over 300 Environmental Management Programme Reports (EMPRs) for mines and

quarries submitted to the Department of Minerals and Energy/Mineral Resources related to dam and road construction, commercial aggregate supplies and the mining of various minerals (salt,

diamonds, rare earths, dimension stone granite and marble, kaolin, gypsum, copper, veldspar and pegmatite minerals).

Feasibility studies/mining cost assessments and rehabilitation cost calculations. In addition to geological, mine planning and mine rehabilitation investigations Stephen has been extensively involved in researching the feasibility of mining operations. Of specific reference is his experience in:

- Compilation of monthly and annual cash flow analyses for amongst others: Messrs. Titan Lime; Grabouw (Palmiet) Quarry (a large metropolitan quarry to serve Cape Town); Prieska Gypsum mines.

- Valuation of material reserves in State expropriation cases. - Rehabilitation cost (Quantum) calculations for all mines for which EMPR’s have been

compiled (in excess of 300 to date). Such valuations include quantification of cost of removal of facilities and the site’s rehabilitation as well as assessment of the value of such facilities which may be taken over by the land owner, which costs are either deducted from royalties payable or from responsibility for rehabilitation.

- Quantum calculation for Alexkor Diamond Mine, - Quantum calculation for Transhex Group LOR mines - Rehabilitation calculation for Afrimat National - Economic assessments of mineral deposits such as the Platinum/Chrome reserves west of

the Pilanesberg as the basis for infrastructure investment by the Development Bank of Southern Africa.

Appendix 6: Draft Environmental Awareness Induction Training Manual


DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS INDUCTION TRAINING MANUAL Vioolsdrif Black Prospecting Right:

May 2019

INTRODUCTION Environmental management is a team effort. All management and staff are responsible for avoiding environmental damage/reducing environmental risk, and ensuring good environmental management.

The keys to achieving this are: - Environmental Induction Training

Should a new operator/labourer be employed from outside of the company or from another site within the company, then the site manager must briefly go through the environmental issues which would apply to that persons post as part of the induction of that person.

Training: Each and every employee must go through an environmental training process where at least the following items area covered:

o The oil/fuel management company procedures must be explained to the employees. The reason for the procedures must also be explained (i.e. to not impact on groundwater, surface water, soil quality etc.).

o The domestic and industrial waste management procedures & method must also form part of the training

o Alien vegetation management in the Prospecting Right area o Restriction of activities to the Prospecting Right Area with special restrictions

to specific areas as may be demarcated by clearly visible posts as No-Go areas. Reporting to supervisor or management if/when a demarcation post is broken or removed

o Emergency management procedures such as dealing with oil spills or fires must also be drilled

Such training will, in this case, be carried out by the site manager or the designated Environmental Control Officer (ECO)

- Being aware of the environment (natural and built) and the need to protect them. - Understanding and recognising the things to protect and the do’s and don’ts. - Knowing and appreciating the importance of the reporting procedures. - Taking pride in good environmental housekeeping and good neighbour relations. It is imperative that the site manager during monthly meetings (Environmental, health and safety meetings) emphasises the importance of minimising impact generation reducing risk. Such awareness of impact and risk generators shall be a continuous monitoring function by all personnel engaged in the site activities who should report high impact generation or increased risk levels the site supervisor/ quarry manager in order that intervention by temporary cessation of the activity can be considered by management until resolved.


1) Legal Requirements Requirement of the MPRDA:

- to have an EIA/ EMP Environmental Management Plan available on site at all times (show the document, the approved EMP, to all staff in the induction and briefly note the items it covers).

National Environment Management Act. If you don’t work according to the EMP the mine will be classified as non-conforming and may: - Result in loss of Prospecting Authorization or imposition of a fine. - Raise issues if/when applying for further Prospecting Rights.

Additional laws o National Water Act:

use of water. discharge of sewage. control of surface water. quality of stormwater discharged from site. avoidance of groundwater contamination by oils, sewage or other. prevention of impact on groundwater aquifers.

2) Targets:

Understanding of what is contained in the EIA/ EMP Understanding of the context of this Prospecting area as it relates to surrounding

legal/planning considerations. Buy-in and appreciation by staff of the need for environmental protection (especially as

it pertains to site rehabilitation and staying away from No-Go areas). Good results in internal Reporting and Environmental Performance Assessments. Understanding the content and each person’s responsibility as it pertains to

implementation of guidelines and monitoring of potential impacts.

3) Why do we need Environmental Management? It is an integral part of normal good management (Good Housekeeping) on the prospect A)

of the quarry site, the loading sites and their access roads together with:

Safety of the employees, the other road users, pedestrians and all farming activities.

Efficiency (Productivity).

Planning (specific activities in specific areas).

Avoidance of potential damage to adjacent properties or natural systems (no off-road vehicle turning in the veld etc.)

The prospecting is part of the larger environment and may have an impact in terms of: B)

Vegetation (explain about Critical Biodiversity Areas).

Visual impact (albeit distant) from surrounding land-users.

Dust generation.

Noise.

Safety,

Threat of fire to adjacent natural systems or agrarian uses (grazing/crops).

Generation of silt which can enter the stream causing turbidity affecting natural habitat and/ or irrigation systems


Any NO GO/ fenced-off/ demarcated areas must be respected: C)

They are important to preserve sensitive areas (botanical or other).

Point these areas out to staff on the ground (i.e. not just from the EIA/ EMP) as being all areas outside of the prospecting permission.

Integration of the prospecting area with surrounding land uses / users requires that the D)

following be limited through proper action by the staff:

Excessive areas of disturbance.

Lack of successful rehabilitation (topsoil management).

Noise.

Define monitoring programme responsibilities in accordance with EIA/ EMP provisions E)

Daily checking of equipment for oil leaks, reverse safety hooters/ safety lights and normal vehicle lights and management of systems by all staff.

4) Who does the damage to the Environment? Management: A)

(i) by not being fully informed themselves of the content of the EMP and other decisions/controls.

(ii) by not informing the staff of proper procedure and the environmental consequences of incorrect activities.

(iii) by not conducting regular monitoring. (iv) by not developing their own personal sensitivity to environmental impact. (v) by not maintaining good neighbourliness

Equipment Operators: B)

(i) by driving equipment or moving items like pipes or cables outside of demarcated roadways, movement areas.

(ii) by dumping material in veld (outside of demarcated areas). (iii) by beginning to move material or dump material before topsoil has been

removed. (iv) By not reacting and not immediately reporting fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid leaks.

General Staff: C)

(i) Use of the veld as a toilet (NOT ALLOWED) (Acquaint staff with the facilities provided).

(ii) Littering with lunch wrappings, bottles. (iii) Short-cut walking paths. (iv) Causing of fire or failure to report fire or threat of fire as soon as it is seen

(whether generated by quarry activities or outsiders).

5) What the Staff should be aware of to look out for: - Allocated and demarcated storage or dump areas:

Don’t dump anywhere else!! If in doubt ask first!!


- Fenced off/No-go areas All areas outside of the Prospecting Permission Approved /Demarcated/

Fenced Area Strictly no tolerance of staff movement onto adjacent farms without

authorization. Don’t enter these areas and don’t drive into them. Haulage to take place only along selected/ prescribed access routes

- Recognise NO GO areas and Don’t disturb them. Don’t drive into them. Don’t walk through them. Don’t use them as toilet areas.

- Oil, fuel or hydraulic leaks As soon as you see these, report them to the operator or the

foreman/manager.

- Know the on-site refuelling/ greasing and oil change procedure if you are involved in it to know how to avoid pollution.

- Acquaint yourself with the use of the hydrocarbon clean-up kit and where it is kept

- Report littering

- Recognise (know the difference between) domestic waste and industrial waste

and use correct procedures for their disposal.

- Recognise the threat of fire Immediately report any threat of fire or fire if seen. Strictly no fires permitted on site.

6) Fire Reporting Procedure and Oil, Fuel, Hydraulic Leaks

If you see a fire/leak starting or threat of fire in the veld take the following action: Make safe what you are doing at the time. Leave your task and report the fire/leak to the nearest supervisor / manager.

7) Other non-urgent environmental incidents reporting procedure

These include littering, unnecessary damage to vegetation, etc. Report these at end of shift or lunch time to supervisor/ manager who shall record environmental incidents in an incident book, to report on them during annual audits.

8) Penalties for Environmental Damage

Bring employee attention specifically to:

Fines.

Conditions in employment contract.

Animal snaring, stock theft or fruit picking:

a. Grounds for immediate dismissal. b. Will be reported to the police for prosecution.
