MCA-Public Participation Report 2
1. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
1.1 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS
This section provides an overview of the public participation process undertaken to
date in this EIA. The process flow diagram below provides a simplified graphic
overview and indicates the public participation process as well. For this application a
Scoping EIA with a Waste Management License (WML) as illustrated below will be
followed.
The principles of NEMA govern many aspects of EIA Reports, including consultation
with interested and affected parties (I&APs). These principles include the provision of
sufficient and transparent information to I&APs on an ongoing basis, to allow them to
comment, and ensuring the participation of historically disadvantaged individuals,
including women, the disabled and the youth.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The public consultation process is designed to provide information to and receive
feedback from interested and affected parties (I&AP) for use throughout the EIA
process, thus providing organisations and individuals with an opportunity to raise
concerns and make comments and suggestions regarding the proposed Project. By
being part of the assessment process, stakeholders have the opportunity to influence
the Project layout and design as well as the plan of study of the EIA.

MCA-Public Participation Report 3
Documents will be available at various stages during the EIA process to provide stakeholders with information, further opportunities to identify issues of concern and suggestions for enhanced benefits and to verify that the issues raised have been considered. The principles for the EIA that determine communication with society at large are included in the principles of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) (Act 107of 1998, as amended) and are elaborated upon in General Notice 657, titled “Guideline 4: Public Participation” (Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, 19 May, 2006), which states that: “Public participation process means a process in which potential interested and affected parties (I&APs) are given an opportunity to comment on, or raise issues relevant to, specific matters.” Public participation is an essential and regulatory requirement for an environmental authorisation process, and must be undertaken in terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations GN R.982 (December 2014). Public participation is a process that is intended to lead to a joint effort by stakeholders, technical specialists, the authorities and the proponent/developer who work together to produce better decisions than if they had acted independently. Internationally, the public consultation process complies with the Equator Principles (in particular Principles 5 and 6) and the IFC Performance Standards (PS) (specifically PSs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8). A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), provides a more comprehensive summary of the local regulatory requirements and international standards that were considered in the design of the public consultation process. The public participation process is designed to provide sufficient and accessible information to Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) in an objective manner and:
During the Scoping Phase to enable them to:
Understand the context of the EIA;
Become informed and educated about the proposed project and its potential
impacts;
Raise issues of concern and suggestions for enhanced benefits;
Verify that their comments, issues of concern and suggestions have been
recorded;
Assist in identifying reasonable alternatives; and
Contribute relevant local information and traditional knowledge to the
environmental assessment.
During the impact assessment phase to assist them to:
Contribute relevant information and local and traditional knowledge to the
environmental assessment;
Verify that their issues and suggestions have been evaluated and considered
in the environmental

Investigations and feedback has been provided;
Comment on the findings of the EIA; and
Identify further issues of concern from the findings of the EIA.
During the decision-making phase:
To advise I&APs of the outcome, i.e. the authority decision, and how the
decision can be appealed.
1.3 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DURING SCOPING PHASE
1.3.1 Identification of Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs)
I&APs were initially identified through a process of networking and referral, obtaining
information from existing stakeholder databases, liaison with potentially affected
parties in the study area, newspaper advertisements and a registration process
involving completion of a registration and comment sheet. The registration sheet
encouraged I&APs to indicate the names of their colleagues and friends who may also
be interested in participating.
I&APs representing various sectors of society include (Appendix 5):
Government (national, provincial and local);
Municipalities;
Environmental NGOs;
Conservation Agencies;
Community Representatives and CBOs;
Directly affected communities;
Business and Commerce; and
Other.
1.3.2 Register of I&Aps
The NEMA Regulations (GN R.982) distinguishes between I&APs and registered I&APs. I&APs, as contemplated in NEMA include: “(a) any person, group of persons or organisation interested in or affected by an activity; and (b) any organ of state that may have jurisdiction over any aspect of the activity”.

MCA-Public Participation Report 5
In terms of the Regulations:
“An EAP managing an application must open and maintain a register which contains the names, contact details and addresses of: (a) All persons who; have submitted written comments or attended meetings with the applicant or EAP; (b) All persons who; have requested the applicant or EAP managing the application, in writing, for their names to be placed on the register; and (c) All organs of state which have jurisdiction in respect of the activity to which the application relates. A Register for I&APs has been opened (Appendix 5). All stakeholders on the initial database received a letter/email in April 2015 inviting them to register as I&Aps (Appendix 2). As per the EIA Regulations, future consultation during the Impact Assessment phase will only take place with registered I&APs. Stakeholders who were involved in the initial consultation will be added to the register. The I&AP register will be updated throughout the EIA process.
1.3.3 Announcement of the proposed project

1.4 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DURING THE IMPACT ASSESSMENT PHASE
Public participation during the impact assessment phase of the EIA will entail a review
of the findings of the EIA, presented in the Draft EIA and EMP Reports. These reports
will be made available for public comment. I&APs will be advised timeously of the
availability of these reports and how to obtain them. They will be encouraged to
comment either in writing (mail or email) or by telephone. Ample notification of due
dates will be provided.
All the issues, comments and suggestions raised during the comment period on the
Draft EIA Report/EMP will be added to the Comments and Response Report (CRR)
that will accompany the Final EIA Report/EMP. The Final EIA Report/EMP will be
submitted to the DEA for a decision about the proposed project.
1.5 NEXT STEPS IN THE EIA PROCESS
The Impact Assessment (IA) Phase will follow completion of the Scoping Phase (this
phase). During the IA phase, specialist studies will be conducted that will inform the
impact assessment. Issues raised by I&APs and the potential impacts of the
establishment and operation of the proposed water and waste management
components on the physical, biological and socio-economic environment of the area
will be examined in detail. In this way stakeholder issues will assist to drive the EIA
process.
When completed, the findings of the specialist studies will be integrated into a single
report, the Draft EIA report, for comment by I&APs. This report will be presented for
comment during the latter half of 2015. The Draft EIA Report will be finalised by
incorporating any additional comments received from I&APs and an Environmental
Management Programme (EMP) will be developed from the findings and
recommendations of the impact assessment studies. The Final EIA Report and EMP
will be presented to the authorities for decision-making.
1.6 LEAD AUTHORITY’S DECISION
Once the DEA have taken a decision about the proposed project, the Mawenje Public
Participation Office will immediately notify I&APs of this decision and of the opportunity
to appeal. This notification will be provided as follows:
A letter will be sent, personally addressed to all registered I&APs, summarising
the authority’s decision and explaining how to lodge an appeal should they wish
to; and
An advertisement to announce the Lead Authority’s decision will be published
in the Pretoria Newspaper.
A grievance mechanism will be established by the client to record grievances during
the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the proposed
development. A responsible person from the proposed facility will ensure that this
grievance mechanism is maintained and that grievances are attended to in a timeous
manner.

I cannot attend the open house session due to work constraints and the short notice given for this. Please register my name as indicated above and clarify me in terms of the following
1. The proposed actual location(s) within the Koedoespoort site where this hazardous landfill site will be established or erected. This is critical for the community to be able to make an informed decision
2. Are the proposed site locations not in close proximity to land-uses which are incompatible with landfilling. Lindo Park residential area is in close proximity with Transwerk Koedoespoort. Based on this, it will be advisable to attach map and explain the actual distances between the two.
3. The other point of concern is that this facility will used to handle the Germiston and Bloemfontein sites’ waste, the movement of heavy duty vehicles with hazardous waste in a residential area is worrying
4. I do understand that the proposed landfill site will not be accessible to the public, but am just concerned about the visibility of the site, we do not want an establishment that will have a negative impact on the value of our properties; this will also have an impact due to waste transportation; nuisance from the said establishment (smells, flies, rodents etc.;
5. Also advise on the type of waste that will be handled at this site, I do understand it’s a Hazardous waste landfill site, but need clarity if this is an H:H or H:h landfill site. Listing the types and quantities of waste envisaged will be of value I guess for now this is the only information that we need, the rest will follow as the process continues Ndiaphe Lenah Modau (ROSPrac) T +27 (0)11 800 6163 M +27 (0)76 584 0755 E-mail [email protected]

2015/08/06 1. Residence of Silverton and Lindopark will be directly affected by this project in the following ways:
- Health Hazard.
- Crime rate which will take place around the Lindopark area.
- Traffic impact which will affect the residence around the project.
The value of our houses will be affected by the project. The value will depreciate. The rate of unemployment in SA is very high, therefore people will be queuing to look for employment.

On the positive note if the project goes ahead the Transnet engineering company together with transnet property would like to plough back to the community by developing the open area next to the Lindopark which has been vacant for years to be made available to the community by developing in into sports and recreational facilities for the children of Lindopark.

- Why do other regions have to bring their waste to us, why can’t they dispose of them at their place?
- How long will it be contained at that place before the hole is full?
- Why was the study of asbestos only made in 2011?
- Why can’t the asbestos not be taken out and taken to Rustenburg, why do it at Koedoespoort?

2015/08/06 1. It was mentioned that once the hole is
filled up it will be closed down. My concern is what is going to happen to the structures that will be built. Is it going to be deserted or what?
2. When the asbestos is going to be dug out, what guarantee is there that the air is 100% not going to be contaminated?
3. If a go ahead is given, how long is this project going to take?

2015/08/06 Since we have environmental issues around the globe, my plea to Transnet is to make sure that they are complying with the rules and regulations of the environmental affairs. Transnet has to take the responsibility of the outcome that might be caused by the project. South Africa is one of the countries that has a concern of environmental pollution, so Transnet has to comply to minimise the environmental pollution if it might be any. As a woman, my wish to Transnet is to make sure that they put women first in their project as to empower them.

2015/08/07 We are not against the proposed plan for the hazardous waste disposal site, however as a current tenant occupying a portion of the proposed site it does have a significant commercial and social impact on the future and sustainability of our business. Our current lease expires at the end of February 2016 and as such we would request a two year extension on this lease. This would give us adequate time to find the appropriate property for our business, acquire it, get the relevant zoning and permissions, install services and build a new plant. As I’m sure you can understand, it is not a simple task to get the appropriate property at a reasonable price and it is a significant undertaking to commission a new plant and then de-commission our existing one. We currently employ approx. 60 staff all of which depend on the success of our business to support their immediate and

All we ask for is for TRE to grant us a reasonable period of time to plan, finance and arrange the moving of our operation to a new site which will greatly reduce the social impact on our staff and the commercial impact on our business. Your understanding and assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to receive any relevant communication/information pertaining to this matter as well as the upcoming meeting.
2015/07/28 Thank you for expressing your concern. Below is a description of the Waste Material that will be stored on site.

The hazardous waste generated include chemicals, oils, batteries, lead, chemical sludge etc, Non-hazardous or general waste include food waste, metal, plastic, rubber, paper, PPE, brake blocks and other material. This waste needs to be treated and managed efficiently and this is the reason for the need to develop the Koedoespoort landfill site. We do however invite you to come to the Open House Public Participation Session as attached. We will be at the Silverton Recreation Centre the whole day to show layout maps and discuss details pertaining to the specialist assessments and proposed design. 2015/07/30

2015/08/06 General concerns raised regarding noise, air quality, health, rats, birds, foul smells, gas monitoring, air quality, surface and groundwater concerns. Will there be proper lining? Bunding walls? What about the geohydrology of the area and current water users in the vicinity of the proposed project area. What’s the ration between dry and liquid waste? What rating hazardous waste will be treated? What will the compaction densities be on covered waste? Will there be buffer zones? What will the affect be on land and property values? Is DW&S involved? Who will control the waste site? Is the EIA available for perusal? Is the existing soil suitable to keep hazardous waste? Aquifer? Any miscellaneous sub-surface issues?

2015/08/06 Kindly note that I am an interested and affected party (resident of Lindo Park), thus submit my name to be registered on the database. I cannot attend the open house session due to work constraints and the short notice given for this. Please register my name as indicated above and clarify me in terms of the following
1. The proposed actual location(s) within the Koedoespoort site where this hazardous landfill site will be established or erected. This is critical for the community to be able to make an informed decision
2. Are the proposed site locations not in close proximity to land-uses which are incompatible with landfilling. Lindo Park residential area is in close proximity with Transwerk Koedoespoort. Based on this, it will be advisable to attach map and explain the actual distances between the two.
3. The other point of concern is that this facility will used to handle the Germiston and Bloemfontein sites’ waste, the movement of heavy duty vehicles with hazardous waste in a residential area is worrying

4. I do understand that the proposed landfill site will not be accessible to the public, but am just concerned about the visibility of the site, we do not want an establishment that will have a negative impact on the value of our properties; this will also have an impact due to waste transportation; nuisance from the said establishment (smells, flies, rodents etc.;
5. Also advise on the type of waste that will be handled at this site, I do understand it’s a Hazardous waste landfill site, but need clarity if this is an H:H or H:h landfill site. Listing the types and quantities of waste envisaged will be of value
I guess for now this is the only information that we need, the rest will follow as the process continues
