1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Amandelbult Complex consists of the Tumela and Dishaba established mines, situated on the north-western limb of the Bushveld Complex. Mining at both Tumela and Dishaba Mines occurs on the Merensky and UG2 Reef horizons, with the predominant mining layout being the conventional scattered breast mining with strike pillars. Commodities mined at the mines include the platinum group metals platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium, as well as by-products gold, silver, cobalt, nickel and copper. Tumela Mine e infrastructure consists of one vertical shaft, three raisebore shafts and four decline shaft systems used to transport rock, men and material, and the mine operates at a depth of between 180 and 895 meters (m) below surface. Dishaba Mine’s infrastructure consist of one vertical shaft, one raise bore and four decline shafts and the operating depth of the underground workings is between 180 and 1 250 m below surface. Anglo American Platinum Limited: Rustenburg Platinum Mines (AAP:RPM) are proposing to establish new infrastructure on site, namely two new ventilation shafts at the Dishaba Mine, and an upgrade to the existing bus and taxi terminal at the Tumela Mine.

1.1.1 VENTILATION SHAFT PROJECT

AAP:RPM has identified the need to improve mining efficiency and productivity at its operations, so as to “Make Amandelbult Investable Again”. Several initiatives have been identified and form part of the “Making Amandelbult Investable Again” programme, with emphasis on low capital, value accretive and fast payback projects. The Amandelbult Modernisation project is one such initiative and aims to ensure the future safety and sustainability of the complex. In particular, the following modernisation initiatives form part of the project: — Hydro-power drilling and cleaning; — Electro-hydraulic drilling; — Hydropower cleaning; — Alternative explosives (emulsion explosives); and — Increased infrastructure (compressed air, power, water and ventilation). It is expected that the above listed mining mechanisms will improve mining productivity, entailing that a greater reserve will be accessed more efficiently and timeously. As an operational forecast, increased ventilation will therefore be required to provide a flow of air of sufficient volume to the progressing underground workings, and regulate the temperatures therein. It is proposed that 2 ventilation shafts (upcast and downcast shafts) are constructed North East and South East of Dishaba Mine. A power transmission line will also be required to provide power to the ventilation system, as well as access roads to access the ventilation shafts. A water pipe line that takes water to the downcast ventilation shaft Bulk Air Cooler will also be developed.

1.1.2 BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL PROJECT

AAP:RPM also proposes to upgrade the existing Tumela Mine bus and taxi rank, which is an informal area used by busses, taxis and private vehicles for transferring personnel working at Tumela Mine. This area is not an adjudicated parking area and is an un-developed dirt area with no infrastructure, no access control, no ablution facilities and no lighting at night for night shift employees. The area therefore poses a risk to health and safety to the mine employees and as such, the mine aims to develop it into a functional and safe bus and taxi terminal, thereby also responding to the mine’s ‘Elimination of Fatalities priority schedule’.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF TWO NEW VENTILATION SHAFTS AND ASSOCIATED WSP INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE UPGRADING OF AN EXISTING BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL AT November 2019 THE RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINE (AMANDELBULT SECTION), LIMPOPO PROVINCE Page 1 Project No. 41101879 ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM LIMITED: RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINES

During the construction phase, the current bus and taxi services will temporarily be re-established to an area that will be designated as a temporary facility for the phased project execution approach. This will include upfront work with regards to terminal facilities, interim roads, parking and drop-off facilities, potable water, shelters, pedestrian waiting areas, Lighting, waste management and road signage.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

This Final Assessment Report (AR) documents the process and findings of the application for the amendment of the Environmental Management Programme (EMPR) for the Amandelbult Mine (LP 30/5/1/2/3/2/1(048)EM). This report serves the purpose of amending the approved Amandelbult EMPR to be able to assess and mitigate for the additional environmental impacts that will result from the addition of the two proposed ventilation shafts at Dishaba Mine and the upgrade of the bus and taxi terminal at Tumela Mine. Due to the fact that the amendments result in a change of scope, a Part 2 Amendment Process in terms of Regulation 31 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations of 2014 (amended in 2017) is required.

1.3 TERMS OF REFERENCE

WSP Environmental (Pty) Ltd (WSP) was appointed in the capacity as independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to undertake the amendment process in terms of Regulation 31 and 32 of the 2014 EIA Regulations (as amended).

The Attendance Register and Presentation are included in Appendix A; — Payment of the prescribed application fee for the application for the variation of the EMPR was made on 6 September 2019; and — The application for the variation of the EMPR was submitted to the DMR on 16 September 2019. Section 32 of the 2014 EIA Regulations (as amended 2017) requires that the Draft Report be subject to a public participation process prior to submission to the DMR. WSP facilitated the following public participation process on behalf of AAP:RPM: — Provision of the Draft Report for a 30-day comment period as per the requirements of Section 32 (1) (b). — All registered stakeholders (as per the updated Amandelbult database) were notified by WSP of the availability of the Draft Report for comment. Copies were made available at nearby public spaces (for public access), as well as on WSP’s webpage (https://www.wsp.com/en-ZA/services/public-documents). The Final Report includes copies of all stakeholder engagement records to submit to the DMR for decision- making. All registered interested and affected parties (I&APs) will thereafter be notified of the DMR’s decision.

This includes the removal of additional for Amendulbult to continue mining the entire natural vegetation (and thereby further disturbing authorised ore body, which would mean production the natural ecosystem around the mine) and at the mine would eventually come to a halt , impacting on the aquatic systems (wetlands) near thereby shortening the life of mine. the mine. The ventilation shafts will therefore ensure that production at the mine continues. Subsequently, the life of mine will be extended, and the mine will continue to contribute to the local and national economy, and jobs will be retained.

Two ventilation shafts will be constructed, i.e the upcast ventilation shaft and the downcast ventilation shaft. The upcast shaft and downcast shafts together with the associated infrastructure will cover a total surface area of about 2 318 m2 and 1 600 m2 respectively. Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 illustrate the surface plans for the upcast and downcast shafts respectively. These will be constructed by the use of the ‘raiseboring’ method which comprises of two phases; ‘Phase 1’ which is the drilling/ piloting phase and ‘Phase 2’ which is the reaming phase. Prior to the commencement with Phase 1 the intersection point is identified. The intersection point is the point where the ventilation shaft will intersect with the underground workings. In Phase 1 a pilot hole is drilled from the surface to the predetermined intersection point. During this phase the underground workings are extended or developed to the intersection point and a cubby is blasted and supported, to receive the pilot hole. In Phase 2 the reamer head is positioned in the cubby and raised to the surface by the raisebore machine. The reamer head uses a turning action to cut the rock thereby widening the pilot hole. The broken rock falls down and collects in the cubby where it is loaded onto hoppers, transported to the orepass system and hoisted to the surface. The broken rock is disposed of with the existing mine waste rock and transported to the waste rock dump.

3.1.2 POWER LINE

UPCAST SHAFT POWER SUPPLY Two 2 810 m, parallel 11 kV Powelines will be constructed to transmit power from the Elandskuil substation to the upcast shaft, following the existing overhead line (OHL) routing at Dishaba Mine. The provision of a second line to each of the ventilation fans has been made as an alternative power supply /redundancy in case of a failure/destruction to the main line.

DOWNCAST POWER SUPPLY An existing 240 m buried cable will be used to transmit power to the downcast shaft until the Dishaba Mine fence line east of the mine, from which a 540 m overhead line will be erected and further transmit power to the Bulk Air Cooler situated at the shaft.

3.1.3 WATER PIPELINE

A 510 m long water pipeline (with a diameter of between 0.20 m and 0.45 m) that runs within the OHL servitude to the downcast shaft, will be constructed to provide water to the Bulk Air Cooler at the downcast shaft for underground temperature regulating purposes. The pipeline will run above surface, supported by plinths that will be constructed outside of any water courses located along the pipe. Excavations of not more than 10 m3 will be dug for the establishment of the plinths.

3.1.4 ACCESS ROAD

Two access roads will be developed to access the two shafts. A new 1 005 m long access road that runs parallel to the power line will be constructed from the main dirt road (that lies North West of Dishaba Mine) to access the upcast shaft from north of Dishaba Mine. Similarly, a 510 m long access road that runs parallel to the OHL to access the downcast shaft from a dirt road south of Dishaba Mine. An alternative to the construction of a new access road to the downcast shaft is the use of an existing gravel road that runs from Dishaba Mine South and through the downcast shaft proposed site. This alternative is recommended in preference to constructing a new road.

3.2 SCOPE OF WORKS: BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL

The proposed amendment entails the upgrading of the existing bus and taxi terminal and other associated infrastructure. This project has been identified as a high risk project on the current Elimination of Fatalities priority schedule at Amandelbult Mine. The current bus and taxi rank at Tumela Mine is an informal area where busses, taxis and private vehicles transferring personnel working at Tumela Mine. This area is not an adjudicated parking area for busses, taxis and private vehicles. Currently, this area is an un-developed dirt area with no infrastructure, no access control, no ablution facilities and no lighting at night for night shift employees. During the raining season, this dirt area develops into a muddy mess which is a risk to health and safety. The current parking area at the shopping centre is also an informal parking area for customers entering the shopping centre. Taxis are using this area as a temporary taxi rank transporting mine employees. The amount of pedestrian activity with no traffic control, no adjudicated parking areas, absence of road signs and no demarcated areas will lead to the increase of risks for accidents and injury The layout for the bus and taxi terminal upgrade is included in Appendix L. The scope of works for the upgrade is outlined below.

3.2.1 PREPARATORY WORK

The current bus and taxi services will temporarily be re-established at an area that will be designated as a temporary facility for the phased project execution approach. The temporary facility will be located at a currently disturbed area in close vicinity to a local shopping store, and will be used as a Bus, Taxi and private vehicle drop-off zone (see Figure 3-3 below). Preparatory work will also include upfront work with terminal facilities, interim roads, parking and drop-off facilities, potable water, shelters, ablution facilities, pedestrian waiting areas, kiosk buildings, lighting, waste management and road signage.

Figure 3-3: Temporary Bus and Taxi Terminal Facility

3.2.2 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL:

A new bus and taxi terminal will be constructed on the open area just north of the industrial change house. The terminal will have controlled access for busses and taxis. Approximately seven indigenous trees (i.e. Vachellia tortilis and a Searsia spp) will be removed from the area. The construction of the bus and taxi terminal will include the following components: — Demolition and removal of existing concrete slab and bus stop; — Excavation of the entire terminal footprint; — Backfilling and compacting as per specification;

— New road layer works; — New paving surface inclusive of curbing; — Erection of canopy over the tax terminal; — Erection of pedestrian waiting areas; — Erection of new Kiosk buildings; — New ablution facilities will be erected and assessed in terms of the infrastructure in comparison with the waiting time of pedestrians to get served with transportation in accordance with the Mine Operational Logistical requirements; — Construction of the Skip bin area for total terminal waste management; — Construction of new security gate house; — Installation of lighting for the area; — Installation of traffic signage and road markings; — Construction of Storm Water control to comply with the Environmental Requirements and legislation; — Water requirements for fire hydrants; — Installation of lightning detection; and — Security – Access Control and Lighting installations.

3.2.3 CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW CAR WASH AREA:

The existing tar surfaced parking area in the northern area of the existing site will be upgraded by constructing a car wash complete with wash bay, drying area and store room. Water to be used for the car wash (about 100 000 l/month) will be supplied from Tumela 1 Shaft. The construction of the car wash will include the following components — Installation of a 50 m (length) x 110 mm (diameter)PVC sewer line with oil trap; — Relocation of existing shaded parking; and — Construction of a new access road (to provide access from the main road).

3.2.4 RE-WORKING EXISTING PARKING AREA:

The existing parking area between the industrial change house and new bus & taxi terminal will be tidied up by installing paving between the existing road and the perimeter fence. The area will be ripped, levelled, compacted and paved and curbs will be installed.

3.2.5 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LIGHT VEHICLE (LV) DROP-OFF AREA:

A (LV drop-off area (50 m x 60 m) will be constructed were the current vendor kiosksare located. Those will be removed for this purpose. It is apparent that a phased construction process will be implemented as the LV drop- off area can only be constructed once the current vendor kiosks have been relocated into the newly constructed kiosk buildings at the new bus & taxi terminal. Works in this area will involve the following: — Road layer works. — New paving surface with curbing and installation of traffic signs and road markings.

3.2.6 EXTENSION OF SALVAGE YARD PARKING AREA

The clearing and grubbing of an area which can accommodate 70 uncovered parking bays for 70 private light vehicles.

4 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT

This section provides a description of the baseline environment of the project area. The descriptions encompass the geographical, physical, biological, social, economic, heritage and cultural aspects of the project area.

4.1 CLIMATE

Amandelbult Complex falls within a summer rainfall region of South Africa with little to no precipitation recorded during the months of May, June, August and September. Maximum rainfall is experienced during November and December. The average annual rainfall is recorded as 529mm. The maximum summer temperature is experienced from November to February with an average high of 25°C and maximum temperatures of 37°C. The Mean Annual Precipitation at Amandelbult Complex is approximately 600 mm as measured at the South African Weather Service Station situated at Northam. Evaporation rates far exceed rainfall with an average rate of 1 240 mm between October and April and 880 mm between April and October. The main prevailing wind directions on the site vary from south-southwesterly (approx. 12%) to south-southeasterly (approx. 14%) with the southerly wind vector being the predominant wind prevailing approximately 21% of the time. Northerly winds prevail for <10% of the time. Calm wind conditions occur on average 10.5% of the time. (SRK IWWMP, 2019).

4.2 TOPOGRAPHY

The Amandelbult mining right area is divided in two by the main Rustenburg-Thabazimbi road (R510) and a Spoornet railway line, running parallel to the road. The general elevation gently decreases in an easterly direction in the mining area. The topography ranging from 980m above mean sea level (mamsl) in the south- western boundary of the site to 920 mamsl in the north-east. The eastern section of the mine, relates to the current project, is relatively flat. Two watercourses transect the mining area, i.e. the Bierspruit and the Crocodile River. The Bierspruit transects the mining area in the west and flows in a northerly direction where it flows into the Crocodile River to the north of the mining area. The Crocodile River flows in a north-westerly directions through the east of the mining area.

4.3 GEOLOGY, SOILS AND LAND TYPE

This geological description has been sourced from the Amandelbult operational Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan (SRK, 2018) and Geohydrological Investigation Report (Groundwater Complete, 2011). Amanadelbult Complex is underlain by rocks of the Rustenburg Layered Suite (“RLS”) of the Bushveld Complex. The Bushveld Complex is a layered igneous body with intruded sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup formed around 2.06 billion years ago and constitutes one of the world’s largest known layered intrusions. It is host to major deposits of Platinum Group Elements, chromite, vanadium and nickel (SRK, 2018). Land types represent areas that are uniform with respect to climate, terrain form, geology and soil. According to the Agricultural Geo-referenced Information System (AGIS, 2014), the site is situated on land type Ea70. This and the surrounding land types are associated with Gabrro and Norite of the Bushveld Complex and a narrow band of sedimentary rocks along the Crocodile River. The study area is situated in a region where erosion rates are considered as very low to low relative to other parts of the country and soils are vertic black ultramafic clays (SRK, 2018). Black turf (vertisol soil type) occurs in the area and is the result of the weathering of norite. The clay has very high swelling and shrinking characteristics between the wet and dry states. When saturated with moisture, the clays are highly impermeable to water movement, but surface cracks develop due to shrinking in the dry condition that allow for some infiltration and recharge of water before saturation is reached. Figure 4-1:

4.4 BIODIVERSITY

4.4.1 FLORA

Amandelbult Complex is situated in the Savanna biome. The Savanna vegetation of South Africa represents the southernmost extension of the most widespread biome in Africa (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). Major macroclimatic traits that characterise the Savanna biome include: — Seasonal precipitation; and — (Sub) tropical thermal regime with no or usually low incidence of frost (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). Most savanna vegetation communities are characterised by a herbaceous layer dominated by grasses and a discontinuous to sometimes very open tree layer (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). The Savanna biome comprises various vegetation types. The ventilation shafts and bus and taxi terminal project areas fall within Mucina & Rutherford’s (2006) Dwaalboom thornveld (SVcb1) vegetation type (See Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3).

The Dwaalboom Thornveld is restricted to and is distributed in Limpopo and North-West Provinces within flats north of the Dwarsberge and associated ridges mainly west of the Crocodile River in the Dwaalboom area but including a patch around Sentrum. South of the ridges it extends eastwards from the Nietverdiend area, north of the Pilanesberg to the Northam area at an altitude range of between 900 and 1,200m AMSL. Its main vegetation and landscape features include plains with a layer of scattered, low to medium high, deciduous microphyllous trees and shrubs with a few broad-leaved tree species. There is almost a continuous herbaceous layer dominated by grass species. According to Mucina & Rutherford (2006) Dwaalboom Thornveld is classified as Least Threatened (LT). Although the target for conservation is 19%, only 6% of this vegetation type is currently under statutory conservation in reserves such as the Madikwe Game Reserve (approximately 150km west of the project area). Cultivation and to a lesser extend urbanisation have resulted in the transformation of approximately 14% of Dwaalboom Thornveld and exotic invasive plants are present. Incidences of erosion are low to very low (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). Important taxa in the Dwaalboom Thornveld vegetation type include: — Trees: Vachellia erioloba, Vachellia erubescens, Vachellia nilotica, Vachellia tortilis subsp heteracantha, Senegalia fleckii, Senegalia burkei, Searsia lancea (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). — Shrubs: Diospyros lycioides subsp. lycioides, Grewia flava, Mystroxylon aethiopicum subsp. burkeanum, Agathisanthemum bojeri (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). — Graminoids: Aristida bipartite, Bothriochloa insculpta, Digitaria eriantha subsp eriantha, Ischaemum afrum, Panicum maximum and Cymbopogon pospischilii (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). Plant species of conservation concern (SCC) in the project area include: — Scrophulariaceae (Jamesbrittenia bergae Taxon); and — Apocynaceae (Stenostelma umbelluliferum Taxon).

4.4.2 FAUNA

The IUCN Red List Spatial Data (IUCN, 2017) lists 99 mammal species that could be expected to occur within the vicinity of the project areas (See Biodiversity Assessment attached as Appendix B). Of these species, 7 are medium to large conservation dependant species, such as Ceratotherium simum (Southern White Rhinoceros) and Equus quagga (Plains Zebra) that, in South Africa, are generally restricted to protected areas such as game reserves. These species are not expected to occur in the project area and are removed from the expected SCC list. Of the remaining 92 small to medium sized mammal species, thirteen (13) are listed as being of conservation concern on a regional or global basis (Table 4-1). The list of potential species includes: — Two (2) that is listed as Endangered (EN) on a regional basis; — Three (3) that are listed as Vulnerable (VU) on a regional basis; and — Eight (8) that are listed as Near Threatened (NT) on a regional scale.

4.6 GROUNDWATER

This groundwater description has been sourced from the Amandelbult operational Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan (SRK, 2018), Geohydrological Investigation Report (Groundwater Complete, 2011); Updated Amandelbult Groundwater Modelling Report (Golder, 2018) and Amandelbult modernisation project Hydrogeological Assessment (WSP, 2019). The Amandelbult Complex mining right area is located within a local groundwater divide. Local groundwater flow directions are towards the west/north-west (Bierspruit) and east/north-east (Crocodile River) at average gradients of 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively. The aquifer systems identified within the Amandelbult area are as follows:

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF TWO NEW VENTILATION SHAFTS AND ASSOCIATED WSP INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE UPGRADING OF AN EXISTING BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL AT November 2019 THE RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINE (AMANDELBULT SECTION), LIMPOPO PROVINCE Page 23 Project No. 41101879 ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM LIMITED: RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINES

— Alluvial aquifer in the coarse-grained alluvium deposited in the paleo-channels of the river systems. This forms a minor aquifer system regionally, but can be an important aquifer in the vicinity of the Complex; — Shallow, weathered zone aquifer that occurs in the transitional soil and weathered bedrock zone or sub- outcrop horizon; and — Fractured Bushveld Complex rock-type aquifer in transmissive fractures in the consolidated and mostly impervious bedrock. The aquifers in the area are typically considered to be minor aquifers, with relatively low groundwater potential. No springs are known to occur in the Amandelbult mining area but evidence of groundwater base flow discharge in the low-lying areas close to the Crocodile River and drainage canals does exist. The depth of the groundwater table in the study area has been determined by means of the available groundwater monitoring boreholes. Groundwater levels historically within the mine lease area vary between 5 and 20 meters below surface. The groundwater flow directions are predominately in a northerly direction which follows the Bierspruit towards the western side of the site and to the east it’s drained by the Crocodile River. There are currently numerous groundwater monitoring locations around the Dishaba Mine and the proposed ventilation shafts. Groundwater levels have remained more or less stable with only seasonal water level fluctuations in the monitoring boreholes evident.

4.7 SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS

This Socio-Economic description has been sourced from the Amandelbult Social Impact Assessment (Tony Barbour Environmental Consulting and Research, 2019) for the project and operational Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan (SRK, 2018). Thabazimbi Local Municipalit’s main economic activity is mining activities, primarily in platinum, iron-ore, andalusite and limestone. Other economic activities that also play a significant role in the municipality’s economic activity are hunting and agriculture. There is a significant potential for tourism to also contribute the local economy. The retail and manufacturing sectors contribute very little to the local economy. The official unemployment rate in 2011 was 20.6% in Thabazimbi and the youth unemployment rate was 26.9%. No data was collected as part of the 2016 Community Household Survey. These number could have significantly changed over the last couple years. There are a number of operations in the area but Amandelbult Platinum Mine remains the biggest operation and employer in the Municipality. The mining sector is thus the most significant employer in the Thabazimbi Municipality area and has contributed significantly to in-migration to the area. Access municipal services as measured in terms of flush toilets, refuse removal, piped water and electricity, deteriorated between 2011 and 2016 in the municipality. This is likely to be linked to in-migration to the area and the increase in informal households. The IDP for Thabazimbi Municipality identified numerous service delivery challenges, such as water and sanitation. Most households have access to piped water and just over three quarters of households have waterborne sanitation with many of the remaining households largely reliant on ventilated improved pit latrines. Thabazimbi Municipality intends to meet the basic service needs of communities by improving access to water and sanitation from 82.5% to 100% by 2022. In addition to the social infrastructure provided by the Thabazimbi Municipality, Amandelbult residential area with ancillary land uses including business, social and other erven at the Anglo Platinum Mine. Amandelbult is a fully functional township and totally independent from Thabazimbi Municipality regarding infrastructure services, i.e. water, sanitation, electricity, roads and stormwater.

5 IMPACT ASSESSMENT

5.1 IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

To ensure a direct comparison between various specialist studies, a standard rating scale has been defined and was used to assess and quantify the identified impacts. The impact assessment used a rating criteria as per the 2014 EIA regulations and the following rating criteria was used to determine the significance of the identified impacts. Impacts are assessed in terms of the following criteria: a) The nature, a description of what causes the effect, what will be affected and how it will be affected. Table 5-1: Nature or type of impact

NATURE OR TYPE OF IMPACT DEFINITION

Beneficial / Positive An impact that is considered to represent an improvement on the baseline or introduces a positive change.

Adverse / Negative An impact that is considered to represent an adverse change from the baseline, or introduces a new undesirable factor.

Direct Impacts that arise directly from activities that form an integral part of the Project (e.g. new infrastructure).

Indirect Impacts that arise indirectly from activities not explicitly forming part of the Project (e.g. noise changes due to changes in road or rail traffic resulting from the operation of Project).

Secondary Secondary or induced impacts caused by a change in the Project environment (e.g. employment opportunities created by the supply chain requirements).

Cumulative Impacts are those impacts arising from the combination of multiple impacts from existing projects, the Project and/or future projects.

5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS: VENTILATION SHAFTS

This section provides a summary of the additional impacts that will result from the proposed development of ventilation shafts. These impacts were identified and assessed through specialist studies that were undertaken to inform this assessment report.

5.2.1 BIODIVERSITY IMPACTS

A Biodiversity Assessment (Appendix B) was undertaken by Martinus Erasmus of The Biodiversity Company to understand the additional potential impacts that may result from the development. The proposed activities may lead to the loss and destruction of habitats, direct mortalities and displacement of fauna and flora. The removal of natural vegetation to accommodate infrastructure may reduce the habitat available for fauna species and may reduce animal populations and species compositions within the area, at least temporarily. Land clearing destroys local wildlife habitat and can lead to the loss of local breeding grounds, nesting sites and wildlife movement corridors. The potential impacts associated with the various project stages have been assessed and rated accordingly as shown in Table 5-9 below. Table 5-9: Biodiversity Impact Significance Rating

— Following decommissioning, disturbed areas will remain Negative Medium Low vulnerable to erosion for some time.

— Following decommissioning, the site will be highly Negative Medium Low vulnerable to alien plant invasion

5.2.2 WETLAND IMPACTS

A Wetland Impact Assessment (Appendix C) was undertaken by WSP during which all wetlands and associated water courses within the vicinity of the project area, that may be potentially impacted upon by the proposed development were identified. Two seep Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) units (wetlands) were identified within 500m of the proposed infrastructure, namely S1 and S2. Wetland system S1 is located approximately 100m from the proposed underground powerline at the nearest point. Wetland systems S2 is located approximately 70m away from the proposed downcast ventilation shaft, however, the proposed overhead powerline and access road to the downcast ventilation shaft does pass through the S2 wetland system. The wetland habitat assessment determined that the proposed construction, operation and decommissioning of the proposed infrastructure does have the potential to impact the identified wetlands, with impact ratings between Low and Medium. However with mitigative measures in places, including the application of buffer zones and the relocation of the proposed powerline and access route to the downcast ventilator shaft, the risks associated with the proposed infrastructure are Low. Potential impacts on the wetlands were assessed and rated as shown in Table 5-10 below.

5.2.3 AIR QUALITY IMPACTS

The construction phase of the development will generate a lot of dust emissions as a result of excavation and drilling activities, as well as the operation and movement of heavy machinery and vehicles. These impacts are temporary and can be effectively minimised through the implementation of management measures and as such, have been assigned a low impact significance. Table 5-11 below summarised the airy quality impacts. Table 5-11: Air Quality Impacts Significance

5.2.4 NOISE IMPACTS

The drilling and excavation activities during the construction phase of the ventilation shafts will result in elevated noise levels that will impact on the surrounding farm landowners as well as faunal life. This impact will however be temporary and limited to the construction phase. Table 5-12 below summarises the impact significance before and after mitigation. Table 5-12: Noise Impacts Significance

5.2.5 SOCIAL IMPACTS

A Social Impact Assessment (Appendix D) was carried out by Tony Barbour. The assessment focused on understanding the potential negative and positive impacts associated with the proposed development on the surrounding communities. The key positive impact associated with the development includes the creation of employment and business opportunities. The development enables the modernization initiative, which will improve the efficiency and productivity on the mine for the remaining 33 years of the life of mine. This in turn will ensure the retention of jobs and the continued socio-economic benefits associated with the mine. This positive impact is of high significance given its long term and significant socio-economic contribution. Negative impacts include the destabilization of family structures and social networks associated with the influx of job seekers and construction workers, as well as the health and safety risks to the farmers and neighbouring communities. These have been rated to be of low significance. Worthy of noting is that the project is only an extension of existing mining activities which have already adjusted the social dynamics within the neighbouring local communities and as such, the intensity of the changes that will be brought about by the project are minimal. The impacts are detailed in Table 5-13 below. Table 5-13: Social Impact Significance Rating

5.2.6 HERITAGE IMPACTS

Archaentos was appointed to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (Appendix E) in the study area. Following a site visit and a brief desktop assessment, it is the opinion of the heritage specialist that the project may be exempted from conducting a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) based on the following factors: — The proposed development is within an area already entirely disturbed by mining activities. — There are limited natural vegetation on both sites, an indication of former disturbance. — Although vegetation cover is dense and reasonably high, it mainly consists of pioneer species and grass. — Various HIA studies have been done in the broader geographical region in the past. In certain cases no heritage sites were noted. In other cases graves and Iron Age sites have been found. These are however located outside of the mine boundary (SAHRIS database; Archaetnos database). An exemption from carrying out a HIA was therefore given by the heritage specialist, with the condition however, that should any objects or features, as well as graves and burials be uncovered during construction activities on site, work will cease immediately and an archaeologist will be contacted as a matter of urgency to assess such occurrences.

5.2.7 SOIL AND LAND CAPABILITY IMPACTS

A Soil and Land Capability study (Appendix F) was undertaken by WSP to assess the potential impacts that the proposed project may have on the receiving environment’s land capability. The following was deduced from the study: — The site is dominated by Vertic soils, whose shrink-swell clay properties pose significant limitations to agriculture. — The site is not currently being used and is predominantly covered by long grasses and shrubs. Identified potential soils impacts as a result of the proposed development include soil contamination, compaction and erosion, as well as sedimentation, change in land form and a loss of topsoil. Table 5-14 indicates the significance rating of these impacts. Table 5-14: Soil and Land Capability Impact Significance Rating

5.2.8 HYRDOLOGY

A Hydrological Impact Assessment (Appendix G) was undertaken to assess the project’s potential impacts on the hydrology of the area. Primary potential impacts identified include a change in the flow regime (and therefore potential source of the crocodile river) as a result of the road alignments, and potential contamination of the rivers from the potential contamination sources. The impacts are summarised in Table 5-15. Table 5-15: Hydrology Impact Significance

5.2.9 HYDROGEOLOGY

Potential impacts on the groundwater resources identified during the Hydrogeology Assessment (Appendix H) include the percolatiton and lateral migration of contaminants into groundwater resources, as well as the drawdown of water levels in nearby local aquifers as a result of the lowering of groundwater resources as dewatering is carried out by the ventilation shafts. The impacts significance are detailed in Table 5-16. Table 5-16: Groundwater Impacts Significance

5.2.10 CLOSURE

A Closure Plan (Appendix I) was compiled by The MSA Group to assess the risks associated with the closure and decommissioning of the proposed new ventilation shafts (in addition to all other mining infrastructure at the end of life of mine) and associated surface infrastructure. All natural (air quality, biodiversity, surface and groundwater reserves), health and safety, socio-economic and financial risks and impacts relating to the decommissioning and closure of the ventilation shafts were assessed (and are summarised in Table 5-17) prior to and after the implementation of mitigation measures. Highly significant impacts (prior to the implementation of management measures) include the loss of income, health and safety risks associated with the possible collapse of remnant infrastructure, loss of agricultural potential due to a decreased land capability and various environmental consequences as a result of failure to implement the final rehabilitation and closure plan.

— Loss of income and jobs Negative High Medium

— Visual intrusion of decommissioning activities associated Negative Medium Low with a ventilation shafts

— Failure to implement the final rehabilitation, Negative High Low decommissioning and closure plan for the proposed ventilation shafts (due to budget restraints and/or shortcomings)

RESIDUAL RISKS POST CLOSURE The closure risk assessment also included an assessment of the residual risk that would remain after implementation of the closure actions and management interventions during decommissioning. The assessment concluded that there are negligible residual risks associated with the ventilation shafts development only. The majority of the latent environmental risk relates to the existing operations (specifically existing and future underground mining). It was recommended that residual environmental liabilities be addressed holistically as part of the existing operational requirement in terms of the NEMA Financial Provisioning Regulations.

5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS: BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL

This section provides an assessment for the newly identified and anticipated impacts that will result from the construction activities to be undertaken to upgrade the bus and taxi terminal at Tumela Mine. Impacts have been rated according to the impact rating methodology detailed in Section 5.1 of this report, and a significance rating has been assigned to each impact prior to and after the implementation of suggested mitigation measures. The detailed impact assessment is included in Appendix K.

5.3.1 AIR QUALITY IMPACTS

GENERATION AND EMISSION OF DUST AND PARTICULATE MATTER (PM) Air quality guidelines are provided by the ambient dust concentration limits prescribed by SANS 1929:2005. Whilst these guidelines are currently not enforceable they do serve as recommendations for good practice.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF TWO NEW VENTILATION SHAFTS AND ASSOCIATED WSP INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE UPGRADING OF AN EXISTING BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL AT November 2019 THE RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINE (AMANDELBULT SECTION), LIMPOPO PROVINCE Page 36 Project No. 41101879 ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM LIMITED: RUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINES

SANS 1929:2005 sets out dust deposition rates, expressed in units of mg.m-2.day-1 over a typical 30-day averaging period. During the construction phase, dust and vehicular emissions will be released as a result of demolitions (of existing bus and taxi terminal infrastructure), excavations as well as earth moving machinery and trucks transporting construction material. The emissions will, however, have short term impacts on the immediate surrounding areas which can be easily mitigated and thus the authorisation of such emissions will not be required. All construction phase air quality impacts will be minimised with the implementation of dust control measures detailed in Table 5-18 and the dust impacts will be short term in nature. EXHAUST FUMES There are no anticipated dust issues during the operational phase as the site will be paved, however, low impacts are expected with regards to fumes from the onsite vehicles on the site. The operational impacts of the terminal on air quality is indicated in Table 5-18. Table 5-18: Air Quality impact from dust and PM generation during Construction Phase

WITHOUT WITH IMPACTS IDENTIFIED STATUS MITIGATION MITIGATION

Construction Phase

— Generation and emission of dust and particulate matter Negative Medium Low (PM)

Operational Phase

— Exhaust Fumes Emissions Negative Low Low

5.3.2 NOISE IMPACTS

Elevated noise levels are likely to be generated by the construction activities (machinery and vehicles) and the workforce. The Occupational Health and Safety Act Regulations state that no employer or self-employed person shall require or permit any person to enter any workplace under his or her control where such person will be exposed to noise at or above the 85 dBA noise-rating limit. It is important to note that noise impacts (nuisance factor) may vary in the different areas as a result of the surrounding land uses and will be temporary in nature. Due to the temporary and limited nature of the project activities, coupled with the fact that there are a limited number of noise receptors around the project area, the impacted is regarded as low. The construction impact on noise is indicated in Table 5-19Table 5-19. Table 5-19: Noise impacts during the construction phase

5.3.3 SOIL EROSION AND CONTAMINATION IMPACTS

SOIL EROSION During the construction phase, measures should be implemented to manage stormwater and water flow on site. If the stormwater and water flow is not regulated and managed onsite, it could cause significant erosion of soil on the stockpiles and/or exposed surfaces (exposed during demolitions and excavations). The construction impact on soil erosion is indicated in Table 5-20.

SOIL CONTAMINATION During construction activities, construction vehicles/trucks/machinery as well as hazardous substances stored on the site might spill and contaminate the soil and groundwater resources. The impact of the construction phase on soil pollution is indicated in Table 5-20. Table 5-20: Soil erosion and compaction impacts from construction activities

5.3.4 BIODIVERSITY IMPACTS

VEGETATION REMOVAL The construction phase will involve the removal of seven indigenous trees (i.e. Vachellia tortilis and a Searsia spp) that are present at the current informal terminal. This is however limited as the proposed site has already been transformed and has no vegetation cover with the exception of the few large trees. The construction impact on the removal of these trees is indicated in Table 5-21 . Table 5-21: Vegetation loss Impact from construction activities

5.3.5 GROUNDWATER IMPACTS

DETERIORATION IN WATER QUALITY There is a potential to affect the groundwater quality in the area. This is influenced by spills and leaks, the storage of chemicals, mixes and fuel. Any contaminants that are not cleaned from the ground will seep into underground water resources. The impact of construction on change in water quality is shown in Table 5-22: Impacts on groundwater during the construction phase

5.3.6 TRAFFIC IMPACTS

During the construction phase the project area will experience a slight increase in traffic due to the movement of trucks, construction vehicles and machinery. The impact of additional traffic during construction is however expected to be minimal and short term, and has therefore been assessed as a low impact (Table 5-23) Table 5-23: Traffic impacts during the construction phase

5.3.8 NO-GO ALTERNATIVE

The no-go alternative will mean none of the negative or positive impacts described above will come into effect. As such the potential health and safety risks associated with the current area will remain.

6 UPDATE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Provisions have been made in the existing EMPR for the construction and operation of existing mining infrastructure. These provisions are made to ensure minimal environmental impact and damage occurs. Newly identified mitigation and management measures associated with the proposed developments are detailed in this section and must be adhered to as an addition to the existing EMPR. Monitoring of the application of mitigation measures should be undertaken on a continuous basis to ensure effective application of all recommendations.

6.1 VENTILATION SHAFTS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Table 6-1 provides all management and mitigation measures to be implemented during the construction and operational phases of the proposed additional ventilation shafts (and their associated infrastructure).

6.2 BUS AND TAXI TERMINAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

The EMPR presented in Table 6-2 below provides mitigation and management measures to be implemented during the construction and operational phase of the bus and taxi terminal upgrade development.

Basic reasons why we involve public in the Amendment Process: — The environment is held in public trust, therefore use of environmental resources is everyone's concern. — Stakeholder engagement is proper, fair conduct in public decision-making activities. Focus on vulnerable and disadvantaged person and offer equitable participation due to historical issues. — A way to ensure that projects meet the citizens' needs and are suitable to the affected public. — The project carries more legitimacy, and less hostility, if interested and affected parties (I&APs) are able to contribute and raise concern / support to be considered in the decision-making process. Finally, the final decision is informed when local knowledge and values are included and when expert knowledge is publicly examined.

7.1.1 OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the stakeholder engagement process can be summarised as follows: — Identify relevant individuals, organisations and communities who may be interested in or affected by the proposed amendments; — Clearly outline the scope of the proposed amendments, including the scale and nature of the existing and proposed activities; — Identify shortcomings and gaps in existing information; — Identify key concerns, raised by Stakeholders; — Highlight the potential for environmental impacts, whether positive or negative; and — To inform and provide the public with information and an understanding of the proposed amendments, issues and solutions

7.2 WHAT IS AN INTERESTED AND AFFECTED PARTY?

An I&AP is defined as any person, group of persons or organisations interested in or affected by an activity, and any organ of state that may have jurisdiction over any aspect of the activity. — The difference between an I&AP and a registered I&AP: — An I&AP can be directly or indirectly impacted on by a proposed activity. — A registered I&AP is a person whose name has been placed on the register of registered I&APs. According to the PPP Guidance document, 2017, only registered I&APs will be notified: — Of the availability of reports and other written submissions made to the Competent Authority (CA) by the Applicant; and — Of the outcome of the application, the reasons for the decision, and that an appeal may be lodged against a decision. For the purpose of this report, registered I&APs will be referred to as Stakeholders.

8 CONCLUSION

This Final Amendment Report is submitted in support of the application for amendment of the EMPR issued to Amandelbult Complex for the operation of the Dishaba and Tumela Mines in the Limpopo Province. The proposed amendments do not trigger any of the NEMA listed activities but constitute a change of scope and as such, a Part 2 Amendment Process in terms of Regulation 31 of the EIA Regulations (2014) is required. WSP was appointed to undertake the amendment process in terms of Regulation 31 and 32 of the EIA Regulations (2014), as amended. In addition, various specialists were appointed to assess the proposed amendments to the EA. This assessment report provides a description of the proposed additional developments that AAP:RPM wishes to undertake, and details the aspects associated with the construction and operation. A detailed description on the existing and receiving environment (bio-physical as well as socio-economic) is provided based on findings from the specialist surveys and existing information. Stakeholder engagement was undertaken from the onset of the project in a transparent and comprehensive manner. The public were engaged through provision of the Draft Assessment Report, so as to afford all Interested and Affected Parties an opportunity to input on the proposed development. Outcomes of all comments received from the public review period have been recorded and responded to in the final Assessment Report. Based on the environmental description, specialist surveys as well as the stakeholder engagement, a detailed impact assessment was undertaken and, where relevant, the necessary management measures have been recommended. In summary, the assessment assessed both biophysical and socio-economic environments and identified appropriate management and mitigation measures. Primary impacts on the receiving environment identified through the assessment are summarised below: — Further habitat fragmentation by the proposed ventilation shafts surface infrastructure impacting on the remaining faunal life in the project area, as well as the electrocution of vultures buy the proposed OHLs. — The removal of indigenous trees (i.e. Vachellia tortilis and a Searsia spp) from the existing informal bus and taxi terminal to accommodate the new terminal infrastructure — Impact on the identified wetlands near Dishaba Mine, by the ventilation shafts and their associated infrastructure (particularly the proposed powerline and access route to the downcast ventilator shaft). — Minor changes in the surface flow regime caused by the alignment of access roads to the ventilation shafts — Very little contamination of surface (Crocodile and Bierspruit Rivers) and groundwater resources from potential oil and hydrocarbon spills — Generation and emission of dust and noise during the construction activities of both the ventilation shafts and bus and taxi terminal Worthy of noting, is that the proposed project areas have already undergone significant transformation due to the surrounding mining, agricultural and human activities and as such, the extent and magnitude of most of the proposed activities’ impacts on the actual natural environment are minor. Furthermore, it should be noted that the majority of the impacts are associated with construction activities, which are temporary and will cease after the construction phase. If implemented effectively and timeously, the management and mitigative measures will significantly reduce and eliminate some of the identified impacts. It is important that the socio-economic impacts of the proposed projects are assessed within the context of improving efficiency and productivity at the mine for the remaining 33 years of the life of mine. These initiatives will also improve worker health and safety. The construction/establishment phase of the developments will create significant socio-economic opportunities associated with the capital expenditure of between R 1.9 and 2.6 billion and also create employment opportunities. The biophysical impact assessment revealed that there are no environmental fatal flaws and no significant negative impacts associated with the proposed project should mitigation and management measures be implemented. In addition, it should be noted that the socio-economic impacts associated with the project are positive .These proposed developments will contribute significantly to the overall productivity (and therefore future) and safety of Amandelbult.
