The Development of Appropriate Procedures Towards and After Closure of Underground Gold Mines from a Water Management Perspective
THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES TOWARDS AND AFTER CLOSURE OF UNDERGROUND GOLD MINES FROM A WATER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE Report to the WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION by W Pulles, S Banister and M van Biljon on hehalf of PULLES HOWARD & DE LANGE INCORPORATED RISON GROUNDWATER CONSULTING cc WRC Report No: 1215/1/05 ISBN No: 1-77005-237-2 MARCH 2005 Disclaimer This report emanates from a project financed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and is approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC or the members of the project steering committee, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A need was identified by the Water Research Commission to undertake research into the issue of mine closure planning from a water management perspective in the South African gold mining industry. Initially a project was conceived that was based on undertaking a more detailed study on the development of a coherent and integrated closure planning process for a case study region – the Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeestfontein (KOSH) area. This approach was eventually abandoned due to the unwillingness of the gold mines in this region (other than Anglogold) to participate in the project. The project methodology was subsequently modified and approved by the project Steering Committee to rather study the complete South African gold mining industry and develop a closure planning methodology that would have application throughout the industry. In support of such an industry-wide study, an assessment would be undertaken of the current status of closure planning contained within the mine EMPRs. -

CILLIERS Terblanche, R.F., T.L. Morgenthal and S.S. Cilliers. 2003. The vegetation of three local- ities of the threatened butterfly species Chrysoritis aureus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae). Koedoe 46(1): 73–90. Pretoria. ISSN 0075-6458. The vegetation and habitat characteristics of three localities of Chrysoritis aureus at the Alice Glockner Nature Reserve, Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve and Malanskraal farm near Heidelberg in South Africa, were compared. A numerical classification technique, TWINSPAN, was used and refined by using Braun Blanquet procedures to classify the vegetation at the different localities. A DCA ordination was applied to confirm the results of the classification. Although the general vegetation structure at the three habi- tats of Chrysoritis aureus were found to be similar, marked differences in the floristic composition were evidenced. A different sub-community, compared to the vegetation at Suikerbosrand and Alice Glockner Nature Reserve, was recorded at the Malanskraal habitat of Chrysoritis aureus. These differences in floristic composition, but with simi- larities in vegetation structure, indicate the possible importance of fire for the ultimate survival of these butterflies in the Rocky Highveld Grassland. The host plant of Chrysoritis aureus, Clutia pulchella, collected at Malanskraal differed markedly and consistently in their morphology, compared to the individuals from the habitats at Suikerbosrand and Alice Glockner Nature Reserve. These differences in the floristic composition of one of the habitats compared to the others, raise research questions con- cerning the butterfly metapopulation structure, since the subpopulations seem to be adapted to slightly different habitat conditions. -

Paper Number: 3552 Structural Development of the Potchefstroom Thrust and Fault System, Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa Matt Terracin1, Musa S. D. Manzi1, Kim A. A. Hein1 1 University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg, PBag 3, 1 Empire Street, WITS 2050, Gauteng Email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Although the Witwatersrand Basin (Wits) has been researched for well over 100 years, very little is known about the subsurface structures within the basin outside of the mining areas [1]. This project examines a set of 2D reflection seismic data acquired by Anglo Gold Ashanti Ltd. as part of the exploration of the Wits from 1986 to 1993. This project focuses on the area around the city of Potchefstroom Known as the Potchefstroom Gap. Within this area the gold bearing reefs of the Witwatersrand and Ventersdorp supergroups are poorly developed or inconsistently present along strike. Truter (1936) proposed a westerly verging thrust/fault based on stratigraphic relationships to account for the loss of ground [2]. However, after 80 years of exploration no cohesive model has been developed for the sporadic presence of well mineralized reefs encountered during drilling. We herein present the first full structural and developmental model for this region that integrates surface, subsurface and drilling data. This new model revises previous structural interpretations by demonstrating that the Potchefstroom thrust/fault does not exist and illustrates the gap is the result of the complex interaction between three major Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic structures (Fig 1), consisting of 2 south-easterly verging thrusts, and a normal fault downthrown to the south-east. -

Signature of the Student:………………………………………………………… Signature of the Supervisor:………………………………………………………. Signature of the Co-supervisor:………………………………………………………… i ABSTRACT Rapid worldwide urbanisation has noteworthy ecological outcomes that shape the patterns of global biodiversity. Habitat loss, fragmentation, biological invasions, climate- and land-use change, alter ecosystem functioning and contribute to the loss of biodiversity. This warrants the study of urban ecosystems and their surrounding environments since biodiversity is essential for economic success, ecosystem function and stability as well as human survival, due to the fact that it provides numerous ecosystem goods and services. Furthermore, agroecosystems are continuously expanding to meet human needs and play a distinctive role in supplying and demanding ecosystem services, consequently impacting biodiversity. With anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems increasing exponentially, pressure on ecosystem services are intensifying and ultimately unique urban environments that are perfect for the establishment of alien species is created. The proportion of native species in urban areas has increasingly been reduced due to urbanisation, while the proportion of alien species has markedly increased. -
