  • Effect of Grootvlei Mine Water on the Blesbokspruit
    THE EFFECT OF GROOTVLEI MINE WATER ON THE BLESBOKSPRUIT by TANJA THORIUS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE in ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT in the Faculty of Science at the Rand Afrikaans University Supervisor: Professor JT Harmse July 2004 The Impact of Grootvlei Mine on the Water Quality of the Blesbokspruit i ABSTRACT Gold mining activities are widespread in the Witwatersrand area of South Africa. These have significant influences, both positive and negative, on the socio-economic and bio -physical environments. In the case of South Africa’s river systems and riparian zones, mining and its associated activities have negatively impacted upon these systems. The Blesbokspruit Catchment Area and Grootvlei Mines Limited (hereafter called “Grootvlei”) are located in Gauteng Province of South Africa. The chosen study area is east of the town of Springs in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality on the East Rand of Gauteng Province. Grootvlei, which has been operating underground mining activities since 1934, is one of the last operational mines in this area. Grootvlei pumps extraneous water from its underground mine workings into the Blesbokspruit, which includes the Blesbokspruit Ramsar site. This pumping ensures that the mine workings are not flooded, which would result in the gold reserves becoming inaccessible and would shortly lead to the closure of Grootvlei. This closure would further affect at least three other marginal gold mines in the area, namely, Springs-Dagga, Droogebult-Wits and Nigel Gold Mine, all which rely on Grootvlei’s pumping to keep their workings dry. Being shallower than Grootvlei, they are currently able to operate without themselves having to pump any extraneous water from their underground workings.

  • Acid Mine Drainage As a Factor in the Impacts of Underground Minewater Discharges from Grootvlei Gold Mine
    IMWA Proceedings 1998 | © International Mine Water Association 2012 | www.IMWA.info ACID MINE DRAINAGE AS A FACTOR IN THE IMPACTS OF UNDERGROUND MINEWATER DISCHARGES FROM GROOTVLEI GOLD MINE A Wood PhD, V Reddy MSc SRK, Box 55291, Northlands 2116, Johannesburg Acknowledgment: R Zorab, Grootvlei Mines Ltd; RD Walmsley, RDC; G Krige JCI Ltd. Introduction The Blesbokspruit system has developed as a semi-natural-semi-artificial drainage course for one of the major industrial and urban conurbations within the Vaal River catchment. For many years the Blesbokspruit has received increasing quantities of urban, industrial and mining minewater, all of which have impacted on the system to cause an array of water quality and quantity concerns. However, the discharges, and associated activities of man in amending the natural water regimes and drainage cycles, has also resulted in the establishment of a wetland ecosystem which has been recognised as a site of special international scientific interest and registered as a Rarnsar wetland. During 1995, as a result of incremental closure of mining activities in the East Rand geohydrological regime, Grootvlei mine became the centre of attention as significant quantities of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) contaminated underground water were discharged to the Blesbokspruit. The discharges, carried out in terms of a Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) permit, resulted in a precipitation of iron hydrolcide which, by permeating the upper reaches of the wetland, caused unaesthetic conditions and fish kills. Following an analysis of the situation, the Minister of DWAF temporarily withdrew the discharge permit subject to water quality criteria which required that certain water treatment processes be installed at the Mine.
