2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

As required by the National Framework for Air Quality Management in Republic of South Africa, the National Air Quality Officer must report on an annual basis on the progress relating to the implementation of the National Framework. The report is known as the National Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report. A set of indicators to be included in the National Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report are provided in Appendix 2 of the 2012 National Framework. These indicators have three basic functions, namely, to simplify, quantify and communicate key information about both the quality of air in South Africa and the efficacy of the air quality management process itself.

The assessment indicators are regarded as being -

 Scientifically sound;  Easy to understand and explain;  Able to develop and illustrate trends over time and differences between geographical areas;  Sensitive to the change that they are intended to measure;  Measurable and capable of being updated regularly;  Based on readily available data and information.

In accordance with the National Framework, this report provides an assessment of the indicators and additional information relating to the implementation of the National Framework. The initial drafts of this report were presented in summary by the National Air Quality Officer at the 2012 and 2013 Annual Air Quality Governance Lekgotla. The 2012 and the 2013 conferences were held from 29 - 30 October 2012 at the Orion Safari Lodge in Rustenburg, North West and from 30 September – 1 October 2013 at Cape Town International Convention Centre, Western Cape respectively .

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

The National Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report is meant to provide all stakeholders with information relating to progress in the implementation of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Act No. 39 of 2004) (hereinafter “the AQA”) and its National Framework and, most importantly, the efficacy of this implementation with specific reference to the objectives of the AQA, namely -

 Protecting the environment by providing reasonable measures for the protection and enhancement of the quality of air in the Republic;  Protecting the environment by providing reasonable measures for the prevention of air pollution and ecological degradation;  Securing ecologically sustainable development while promoting justifiable economic and social development;  Generally giving effect to section 24(b) of the Constitution in order to enhance the quality of ambient air for the sake of securing an environment that is not harmful to the health and wellbeing of people.

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

1.3 SCOPE OF THE REPORT

In line with Paragraph 5.2.3.3 of the 2012 National Framework, all municipal Air Quality Officers (AQOs), are required to submit a Municipal Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report to the provincial AQO at least one month prior to the Annual National Air Quality Governance Lekgotla. The provincial AQOs then use these reports to inform the compilation of a Provincial Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report that is to be submitted to the National AQO at least two weeks prior to the Air Quality Governance Lekgotla. The National AQO has to then compile the National Air Quality Officer’s Annual Report for presentation at the Lekgotla for ratification and submission for publication.

Given the above, the development of this report has been an iterative and integrative process that has relied on contributions from all AQOs. Every effort has also been made to ensure that the scope of this report is fully aligned with the 2012 National Framework.

2. THE NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S PROLOGUE

The year 2014 will mark a decade since the promulgation of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (39) of 2004 - AQA. In this regard, the AQA itself is currently under amendment and members of the public have been given the opportunity to make input to this significant process. The purpose of the amendment is to provide further alignment with the provisions of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998); to close regulatory gaps within the atmospheric emission licensing system and to delete certain obsolete provisions. Further, the years 2012 and 2013, in particular, presented an opportune time to look critically at the progress made in air quality management since 2004. Moreso, because 2012 was the year in which the 2007 National Framework for Air Quality Management was reviewed as required by Section 7 (5)(d) of the AQA. The lead up to the publication of the 2012 National Framework comprised a self reflection process for government, different stakeholders and the South African society at large. While, there was still some cautious language used where new projects still need to be undertaken, the 2012 National Framework is more emphatic and it drew largely on experiences gained over the years of the implementation of the inaugural 2007 National Framework.

Furthermore, we have seen an improvement over the years with regard to systems and tools for air quality management. For instance, the licensing function is now fully carried out by provincial and/or municipal authorities instead of the national department. Although there are areas of improvement in some jurisdictions, generally authorities have taken the function with enthusiasm and it seems government is geared up to fully repeal the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act (45) of 1965 – APPA on 31 March 2014. In addition, the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) continues to develop and maintain necessary tools for the effective and efficient implementation of the licensing function and to provide support to provincial and local authorities to enhance air quality management. Section 2.1 of this report gives more detail with regard to the specific systems, tools and interventions from the DEA and then the progress reports from other spheres of government in relation to air quality management.

Emission testing of diesel vehicles is one of the priorities in the Eden region. This is especially a priority in the Lakes Region where the N2 is running through or past the towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. This causes a potential risk of elevated levels of NO2 and even SO2. Sampling runs are conducted on a quarterly basis in these areas with the assistance of the Knysna Traffic Department. Vehicles that don’t pass the test are issued a warning letter and repair notice and a fine is issued to second time offenders;  The Cape Winelands District Municipality is in the process of developing an Air Quality Management System (AQMS) as set out within the AQMP.

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

 The Cape Winelands District Municipality as part of the Western Cape AQOs Forum has formulated a generic bylaw to be implemented at district level. Uncertainty regarding some implementations according to the AQA has halted this process and the districts within the Western Cape are awaiting the proper publication of the fees calculator and the declaring of controlled emitters;  The Overberg District Municipality has developed an air quality management By-Law which is still in draft form;  The Cape Agulhas Local Municipality has developed a Draft air quality management By-Law and is currently being reviewed by the DEADP;  George Local Municipality adopted their own air quality by-laws;  The DEADP has participated/provided comments on the State of Environment Outlook Report 2013.

In terms of public awareness and education, the Western Cape reported that –  The DEADP conducted councillor training sessions to capacitate councillors on the role and responsibilities of municipalities pertaining to air quality management;  The DEADP conducted a Greenest Municipality Competition (GMC) from February 2012 until September 2012. The objective of the GMC was to raise awareness about the importance of an environment that is clean and safe. Air Quality Management matters formed part of GMC assessment. The results of the GMC will be announced on 23 November 2012. The DEADP will again be involved in the GMC for 2014;  The DEADP developed a brochure on Air Quality and Climate Change co-benefits which was distributed at various awareness raising events;  The DEADP is currently developing the Western Cape Annual State of Air Quality Management Report 2012;  The DEADP participated to a career exhibition for Grade 9 learners in Paarl on 18 and 19 September 2013;  The City of Cape Town’s Education and awareness work group established through the AQMP continued to facilitate a number of projects with local communities to raise the awareness of air quality issues. The Mascot – “Sniffles the air pollution sniffing cat”, continues to be used to deliver the message of clean air to young learners;  Eden District Municiplaity continued with the Eden Clean Fires campaign. The project entails the distribution of pamphlets to identified communities with the emphasis on landfill sites where people are burning plastic for cooking purposes. Informal engagement with these people during several visits formed part of this project. People were taught: o how to make a more environmental friendly fire; o what materials must never be used to make a fire; o the health effects of smoke; o the advantages of cleaner fires.  Eden District Municiplaity established an Industrial Air Quality Forum.  Cape Winelands District Municipality in partnership with DEADP hosted a joint stakeholder workshop with Local Municipalities within the district on the Implementation of Municipal Mandate to give effect to the AQA.

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

 As part of the Municipal Health Service Education Project the Cape Winelands District Municipality presented an awareness raising campaign within the Cape Winelands region. Awareness towards Air Quality Health through interactive theatre at schools was blended with awareness raising on Environmental Health. The Cape Winelands District Municipality reached 37 361 learners at 110 schools through this initiative. Legislative requirements  The Overberg District Municipality established an AQOs Forum which comprised of the Overberg District Municipality and the associated five local municipalities as well as industries municipalities and. The forum is convened quarterly and is chaired by Bulelwa Mthakathi.

In terms of AEL, the Western Cape reported that -  The Department started with AEL Capacity Building Training Programmes for officials in the Overberg District Municipality in February 2013;  The DEADP scheduled air quality regulatory training programmes in 2013 aimed at strengthening air quality leadership by equipping officials with the tools and knowledge necessary to effectively monitor, evaluate and take effective action in terms of air emission licencing;  The DEADP Air Quality Regulatory Unit together with the Licencing Authorities started with compliance monitoring and enforcement with regard Atmospheric Emission Licencing of regulated facilities in the Western Cape Province through inspection, compliance monitoring, testing, and records review. Inspections started in June 2013 with inspections in Cape Winelands District Municipality and West Coast District Municipality;  The City of Cape Town held a workshop with the local galvanizing industry in order to facilitate AEL applications and provide information for applicants on the AEL application process and emissions monitoring and reporting requirements. The workshop was successful and managed to draw interest and attendants from other parts of the country. Currently there are a number of AEL applications in the system receiving attention. The resources and detail required for assessing and processing applications for final approval remains challenging and impacts considerably to the workload of air quality practitioners;  Correspondence has been addressed to all existing APPA Certified Scheduled Industries advising them of time frames for submission of AEL application forms. Responses from industry have generally been slow. Two “Provisional AEL’s” and one full AEL has been issued for the period. A further 3 Provisional AEL’s are being finalised and it is anticipated that these would be issued before the end of October 2012;  The City of Cape Town has adopted the DEA fee calculator and declared the fee bands in the Tariff structure for the City of Cape Town which came into effect on 1 July 2012. The recent news that National DEA is drafting a notice to prescribe processing fees well below the current widely accepted fee calculator bands is alarming and is in conflict with the current system that has been implemented in the City of Cape Town;  West Coast District Municipality issued a total of 5 Provisional AEL's, one final and one variation. A total of 4 Applications received during 2011 are still pending;  Eden District Municipality has implemented a licensing system since 1 April 2010. The processing fees as contemplated in the AQA are set in the tariff structure of the Municipality budget. The Municipality received 17 seventeen applications and issued 7 provisional licenses. Industries with provisional AEL`s were also asked to do emission monitoring as part of their licensing conditions in order to compare their emissions with the limits set as contemplated in section 21 of the Air Quality Act. Eden District Municiplaity also succeeded in enforcing air quality mitigation measures at historically problem industries in its jurisdiction by compelling industries to install bag houses, wet scrubbers, do emission monitoring do odour surveys, etc. Air Quality Information System was also developed to facilitate an electronic licensing process. All applications are received electronically and loaded on the system. All

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

notifications like acknowledgement of receipt of applications, request for specialist studies, scheduling of meetings and initiating of public participation processes are generated by the system;  Twenty three industries within the Cape Winelands District Municipality were regarded as listed activities in terms of Section 21 of the AQA, with two listed industries applying for an AEL prior to March 2013. Eighteen listed activities with APPA lodged an application for AEL renewal as outlined by Section 61 of AQA in respect of the APPA transitional arrangements at the end of March 2013. The remaining three industries stopped their activities in terms of Section 21 of the AQA. All 21 listed activities have been visited within the 2012-2013 period by the Cape Winelands District Municipality AQO to get an understanding of these industries. The Air Quality Management System being developed within the Cape Winelands District Municipality will capture all the AEL applications in an electronic licensing process AQMP;  Amendments to the current Section 21 legislation have been an on-going process for more than a year. The amendment would require different measures from some of these listed activities and other non- listed industries will legally be required to obtain an AEL. The current issued Provisional AEL and the AEL to ready to be issued, will both be affected by these amendments;  The Cape Winelands District Municipality AQO set out in May 2012 to visit all the facilities undertaking listed activities, to advise these industries that application for APPA conversation to an AEL must be done much earlier to ensure a smooth transition trying to avoid delays, which might be experienced if all APPA registration certificate holders wait for the last days to apply;  The AEL processing fees charging system was taken up in the Cape Winelands District Municipality tariff structure , with the ability to adapt should existing the Draft Regulations of the AEL Processing Fee Calculator be promulgated;  An APPA-AEL Compliance Inspection was done at the Rainbow Rendering Plant in in collaboration with DEADP Directorate Pollution Management, Waste Management and Environmental Compliance and Enforcement as part of the Western Cape programme to ensure compliance with Air Emission Licenses issued by the licensing authorities in the Western Cape.

More information on AELs is presented in appendix A.

In terms of compliance and enforcement, the Western Cape reported that -  The City of Cape Town tested 7053 vehicles during roadside testing operations i.t.o it’s Air Quality Management Bylaw of 2010. 48 vehicles failed the opacity standards set in the Bylaw. 37 Summonses were issued to vehicle owners for non-compliant vehicles. The CoCT issued a further 67 Awareness Notices and 40 air pollution abatement notices on owners/operators of premises, for non-compliances with other sections of the air quality management By-law;  NEMA 24 G referrals: 11 premises have been referred for investigation since the start of 2012. This investigation is still pending;  A memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreement between the City of Cape Town and the Provincial Government of the Western Cape has been entered into. This will pave the way for the designation of EMI’s in the City of Cape Town by the MEC. Names of six EMI trained staff members from the Air Quality Management Unit have been put forward for designation;  Eden District Municipality received mainly odour related complaints during this period. Odour is subjective in nature and is therefore difficult to address. Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn were the two regions where most of these odour complaints originated from. Intergovernmental Task Teams (IGTT) were formed to help resolve the multi-disciplinary issues related to odour. The IGTT meetings were chaired by the Eden District Municipality during this period and included investigation of the complaints by conducting site visits, drafting of action items with time frames and a responsible authority for each action as well as feedback to the community (complainants); o The following were positive outcomes of the IGTT in Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn: 35

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

o The location of Ambient Air Quality monitoring stations in Dana Bay and Oudtshoorn. o H2S monitoring conducted at the industry. o Installation of control equipment to address H2S release. o Investigation of all processes and implementation of control. o The appointment of specialist to conduct specialist air quality studies at industries and to report on mitigation measures. o Dispersion modelling of the pollutants emitted at the industry. o More regular inspection by all authorities concerned and regular report back to councils, MEC`s Office. o Press release to the public to keep them informed of the progress made.  Other complaints in the region were mostly related to smoke and dust. All these complaints were investigated and notices were issued to the contributing industries. Various Blitz compliance and Enforcement actions were undertaken in George and Oudtshoorn under coordination of the Compliance and Enforcement sections of the DEADP. The main purpose of these Blitz operations was to identify illegal listed activities and to address complaints from problem industries;  The Cape Winelands District Municipality air quality complaint register is being maintained and was incorporate into the electronic based MHS management system;  Due to local municipalities not having an air quality reporting system the number of complaints within then Cape Winelands District Municipality will most likely not be reported;  The majority of odour complaints received relate directly to local municipal services such as sewage network blockages and spillages. In addition the Rainbow Rendering Plant contributed to the number of odour complaints but has undergone a major re-fitment to minimise their odour releases;  Pesticides spraying and biomass burning within the agriculture sector within the Cape Winelands also contribute to the number of complaints. The Cape Winelands District Municipality expressed the need for this challenge to be escalated by DEADP at National level to find a suitable solution with all relevant National Departments;  Two AEL Compliance Inspections were undertaken in the West Coast at the Oceana Brands and Pioneer Foods Fishmeal Plants in collaboration with DEADP Directorate Pollution Management, as part of the Western Cape programme to ensure compliance with Air Emission Licenses issued by the licensing authorities in the Western Cape;  All Cape Winelands District Municipality AQM officials have been trained as EMI’s but are awaiting designation to be mandated to do AQA related compliance and enforcement;  Inspection in collaboration with DEADP Directorate Environmental Compliance and Enforcement, Waste Management and Pollution Management, to determine compliance with environmental legislation was undertaken at a farm in Wellington in the Cape Winelands District Municipality, after complaints from the public were received;  In total, there were 1081 complaints received between 2012 and 2013 in the province, DEADP (23), City of Cape Town (776), West Coast District Municipality (98), Cape Winelands District Municipality (67), Overberg District Municipality (21), Eden District Municipality (96) and CKDM (0).

In terms of specific air quality improvement campaigns or projects, the Western Cape reported that –  The City of Cape Town implemented Air Quality Improvement Projects in Wallacedene and Khayelitsha. These projects were aimed at bringing about a reduction in PM10 levels through the the education and awareness of the community, Councillors and officials. A multi-stakeholder approach has been adopted, with much emphasis being placed on the role Council Departments can play in terms of paving of unpaved surfaces; dust suppression through greening and tree planting; the management of domestic waste; and informal food trading;  Education pamphlets have been developed to engage with the respective target audiences in the communities;

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

 Eden District Municipality established a forum for the AQOs at B-municipality level. The forum is called the Eden AQOs Forum and meets on a quarterly basis. This forum is in line with one of the objectives of the Eden AQMP, namely the dissemination of information and a centre of expertise regarding air quality matters. Relevant topics and discussions at this forum included amongst others; o discussion on legislation; o air quality hot spots; o illegal activities; o compliance and enforcement; o noise control.

2.2 CHALLENGES

Here are some of the challenges that were highlighted in the annual Provincial Reports, —  The dependence on external service providers on the running, management and maitanance of the ambient air quality monitoring networks indicate a lack of sufficient resources for authorities to perform the functions in-house;  Most Licensing Authorities reported that there were backlogs in the conversion of the old APPA permits to new AELs. However, the backlogs were being addressed;  In some cases provinces are still Licensing Authorities, for example in the Eastern Cape the only municipalities who perform the Atmospheric Emission License function are Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality and Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM). The Province performs this function on behalf of the rest of the municipalities;  Trained EMI’s not yet degisnated to perform AQA related compliance and enforcement;  The General challenge that the municipalities face with finalising applications include amongst others incomplete applications, incorrect representation of information, inadequate public participation as well as the absence of an AEL fee calculator for cost recovery.

2.3 THE 2012 SUMMARY NATIONAL STATE OF THE AIR REPORT

The Summary of the 2012 State of Air Report was presented during the 2012 Air Quality Governance Lekgotla. The following provides a summary of the information presented:

Figures 2 and 3 show the national annual average concentrations of SO2 and PM10 from 1994 to 2012, respectively. The following is based on data from 41 air quality monitoring stations around the country as follows:  Data dating back to 1994 from seven stations owned by the CoCT;  Data dating back to 2009 from four stations owned by the CoT;  Data dating back to 2004 from four stations owned by the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality;  New data from a station owned by the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality;  Data dating back to 2007 from six stations within the VTAPA owned by the national department;  Data dating back to 2008 from five stations within the HPA owned by the national department;  Data dating back to 2000 from six stations owned by Eskom; and  Data dating back to 2003 from five stations owned by Sasol.

To provide a better illustration of the statistical distribution of the stations annual averages around the national mean average, the tenth, fiftieth, and ninetieth percentiles (the bar around each blue point) of stations are included. The top of the bar illustrates the ninetieth percentile for the calculation. This indicates that 90 percent of the stations have an annual mean equivalent to, or below, this level. Similarly, the white dots represent the fiftieth 37

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

percentile and the bottom of the bar represents the tenth percentile. They illustrate the levels for which 50 percent and 10 percent of the stations have an annual mean equivalent or below.

From Figure 2 the following should be noted:

 The national average levels of SO2 have significantly decreased since 1997; and

 Despite this decrease, there has been no further reduction of the SO2 national average since 1997.

Based on this information, the following conclusions can be made:-

 The levels of SO2 pollution are decreasing nation-wide, which indicates success in this regard;  The recent apparent up-tick in SO2 concentrations, although not yet a cause for alarm, is a cause for concern;  It is clear that continued and increased national, provincial and local action is bearing fruit and, in this, the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality and the North West provincial department should be congratulated on their specific efforts and achievements in this regard.

From Figure 3 the following should be noted regarding PM10:

 While national ambient averaged SO2 concentrations have continued to decrease, PM10 is of major concern. There is a relatively rapid air quality deterioration trend from 2003 to 2010. This is largely (but not entirely) due to the fact that data from new stations in identified pollution “hotspots” were added over this latter period. The examples are, four stations including the South Durban Basin pollution hotspot were added from 2004; five stations from the densely populated City of Johannesburg were added from 2005; six stations from the highly polluted VTAPA were added in 2007; and five stations from the highly polluted HPA were added in 2008;  Although it appears that air quality was consistently within ambient air quality standards prior to 1999, this is largely due to the fact that the data sources were not necessarily placed in pollution hotspots, i.e. some of the air quality monitoring stations were in areas of relatively good air quality.

Based on Figure 16, the following conclusions can be made:-  Particulate matter is the greatest national cause for concern in terms of air quality;  The fact that a national average of annual averages is in the vicinity of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), let alone above the standard, is a real cause for concern;  It is clear that continued and increased national provincial and local action is required in order to bring particulate concentrations down to acceptable levels; and  Finally, regrettably many South Africans may be breathing air that is harmful to their health and well- being.

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

2.3.1 NAQI Derivation from Annual Averages of PM10 and SO2

To derive the NAQI, the annual averages of PM10 and SO2 in Figure 2 and 3 are first normalised by the annual average NAAQS. Based on the normalised ratios of the average concentrations, we define the NAQI as the maximum between the normalised ratios of the national annual averages of PM10 and SO2, that is, for each year the NAQI is the maximum of the Figure 3. The NAQI is calculated as:

Where:  Annual average concentrations are the average of stations annual averages for each pollutant (from Figures 2 and 3. 3  Nineteen (19) and 50 represent the annual NAAQS for SO2 (ppb) and PM10 (µg/m ).

3 For example, in 2011 the national annual average SO2 and PM10 were 7.6 ppb and 46.2 µg/m , respectively. The indicator for 2011 is then defined as the maximum of the following ratios

Hence for 2011, the NAQI is 0.92, and is defined by normalised ratio of PM10 against the annual NAAQS of PM10. Figure 4 below shows the NAQI derived from the national annual averages of SO2 and PM10 from 1994 to 2012.

Figure 4: The National Air Quality Indicator of South Africa from 1994 to 2012.

The following can be deduced from the NAQI trends in Figure 4:  As the NAQI is based on the annual average NAAQS, a NAQI less than 1 shows compliance with the NAAQS of either SO2 or PM10; hence air quality that is not harmful to human health and well-being;  A NAQI below above 1 indicates noncompliance with the NAAQS of either SO2 or PM10; hence air quality that is harmful to human health and well-being;  Between 1994 and 1999, SO2 was the pollutant that defined the national indicator;  Since 2000, PM10 has defined the NAQI;  Although it appears that there has been a continuous air quality deterioration trend since 2000, this is largely (but not entirely) due to the fact that data from new stations in identified pollution “hotspots” such as VTAPA and HPA were added over this latter period.

2.3.2 NAQI Reporting Phases

The number of monitoring stations reporting to SAAQIS changes over the years as more monitoring stations begin to report to the SAAQIS. Also, the NAAQS annual average of PM10 is getting stricter from 01 January 2015. These changes would impact the credibility of the NAQI as the value will be derived from a continuously moving baseline and target. For these reasons, the NAQI will be defined over specified reporting phases/periods during which the number of monitoring stations and the NAAQS are constant:

 NAQI Reporting Phase I - 2008 to 2014 o In this phase, the NAQI will be based on the monitoring stations that have been operating since 2008. 3 o The annual average NAAQS of PM10 will be 50 µg/m . 41

o The NAQI from 2008 annual averages of PM10 and SO2 will serve as the baseline for this reporting phase. o It is envisaged that, once more networks start reporting to the SAAQIS, particularly with the increase in historical observations, a better picture on the trends will emerge.

 NAQI Reporting Phase II – from January 2015 to 2020 o In this second phase, all stations measuring PM10 and SO2 from 2014 will be incorporated into the development of the NAQI. 3 o The annual average NAAQS of 40 µg/m of PM10 will also apply. o The NAQI from 2014 annual averages of PM10 and SO2 will serve as the baseline for this reporting phase. o It is also envisaged that by 2014, all government stations will be reporting to SAAQIS.

 NAQI Reporting Phase III and future phases o To be defined in the future and specified in future National Frameworks.

In conclusion, the majority of stations used to derive the NAQI are located in those areas that have been identified as experiencing significant human exposure to air pollution. As such, while the air quality might not indicate the national average since most of these zones are in urban areas, these ambient air quality measurements are representing the areas where people are most impacted by the adverse effects of air pollution in the country. For this reason, the NAQI should be used cautiously with background stations as these stations are specifically sited outside the zones of maximum human exposure. Including the background stations in the NAQI development could dilute the impact on human health, and possibly bias the efficacy of air quality management policies. It is for these reasons that the department has also developed dedicated regional air quality indicators for the Vaal Triangle Airshed and Highveld Priority Areas in order to measure the effectiveness of priority area AQMPs.

PROGRESS MADE KEY ACTIVITIES Government Capacity Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) for Air Quality  DEA has been providing support to local authorities in coordinating Air Quality Management Implementation Task Teams (ITTs) meetings and implementing ITT activities and action plans. Six ITTs were established and now functional in VTAPA and HPA, chaired by AQOs in District and Metros. ITTs were established to coordinate implementation of AQMPs in Priority Areas and are consist of Government officials, Industries, and NGOs. They provide an opportunity for all role players to report their progress, develop action plan discuss challenges and coming up with measures to address such challenges.  DEA conducted a two days capacity building training workshop on air quality monitoring, data analysis and management in Pretoria on the 9 and 10 September 2013. The workshop trained Officials from all spheres of government who are responsible with air quality monitoring and data management from the three priority areas. Thus, the HPA, VTAPA and WBPA. The training was focused on specific items such as basic theory of air quality management, measurements of air quality and meteorology, data presentation, analysis and validation. It was also coupled with illustrations from real applications and real data. The training was conducted by an international expert on air quality monitoring, Mr Hakan Tornevik from Opsis.  DEA also held a number of authorities meetings. The meetings are usually attended by officials from local government, provincial and national department responsible with air quality to discuss progress made by authority in implementing AQMPs’ interventions, discuss challenges and coming up with action or implementation plans. In these meetings authorities share and assist each other in addressing challenges they may have. Both HPA and VTAPA authorities meetings are held on a quarterly base.  AQMP implementation plans were developed together with officials from local and provincial department. Sedibeng District Municipality It has been identified that a number of local municipalities in SDM have minimum capacity for managing air quality. SDM realised that there is a need to maximise the limited resources available to achieve maximum impact. This is done by ensuring that municipalities complement each other in terms of the available skills. Hence the development of a joint compliance monitoring plan, joint awareness campaigns activities, etc. Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM)  ELM now has an existing and dedicated Environmental Management Section responsible to air quality management.  Four (4) Environmental officers were designated as an Environmental Management Inspectors (EMIs) in November 2013 by GDARD MEC. EMIs will be responsible with environmental compliance, monitoring and enforcement, provide support to SDM in monitoring AEL conditions compliance.

SUMMARY OF PROGRESS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VTAPA AND HPA

PROGRESS MADE KEY ACTIVITIES Monitoring: AQMP Department of Environmental Affairs implementation Multi Stakeholder Reference Groups (MSRGs) are used as an important component of monitoring progress with implementation of the AQMP. MSRG meetings are held on a quarterly basis to provide opportunity to stakeholders to report and monitor progress. In the past year, the MSRG meetings were held on the 22 May 2013, 29 August 2013 and on the 22 November 2013. Hosting MSRGs are an important part of AQMP implementation, particularly in obtaining data needed to implement the AQMP, identify challenges and finding solutions. ITT chairs are given opportunity to report their progress. In addition MSRG also present a platform for industries to present their achieved improvements through implementing emission reduction strategies. Compliance monitoring Sedibeng District Municipality: and enforcement  SDM has an existing programme for compliance monitoring which is developed annually and is implemented in collaboration with all local municipalities in SDM.  SDM developed air quality municipal By-Laws which have just been approved. The by-laws are to be used in the control of biomass and waste burning, regulation of small industries, etc. Projects conducted in Department of Environmental Affairs VTAPA  VTAPA AQMP mid-term review: DEA conducted a mid-term review of the AQMP in 2013. The purpose of the VTAPA AQMP review was, to amongst other things, establish the current status of the air in the VTAPA, set new goals to improve the quality of the air and provide a basis for the development of implementation strategies, to review progress on interventions implementation, and identify significant gaps and provide recommendations to strengthen intervention implementation. Key findings of the report included the redefining of the baseline of ambient air quality and setting of associated objectives for the area. The plan review further acknowledges current and future economic realities, and addresses the possible need for changes to functional and operational structures, AQM systems and management objectives in light of poor performances, changing circumstances, the commitment to continual improvement and any other relevant factors. The plan was published in 2013 and is available on the SAAQIS website.

SUMMARY OF PROGRESS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VTAPA AND HPA

PROGRESS MADE KEY ACTIVITIES  VTAPA health Study Project: DEA is also conducting a Vaal health study project. This is a three year project which started in 2013 and will end in 2015. The project aims to determine the current health status of the population in the VTAPA and to provide baseline information that will be used in management and planning. The project comprised two parts: (1) a community health survey, and (2) a human health risk assessment using modelled air quality data. The study also involves carry out a household survey, performing epidemiological analysis, identifying baseline human health status, understanding the relationship between human health and environmental concentrations of air pollutants using surveyed symptoms (from the questionnaire) and activity log books, understanding the relationship between human health and environmental factors using results of the epidemiological study, carrying out a medical survey including lung function testing and sampling of blood, among children in primary schools, determining whether there is an association between daily fluctuations in ambient air pollution levels and fluctuations in health status among children and identifying the potential for human health risks for the population in the whole VTAPPA, related to the physical and/or chemical properties of modelled air pollutant concentrations.  A number of stakeholders consultation meetings were held in Vereeniging on the 7 October 2013, Diepkloof on the 25 October 2013, Sebokeng on the 12 November 2013, Zamdela on the 27 November 2013 and community survey has been conducted in Zamdela, Vereeniging, Sebokeng and Diepkloof.

3.1.5.1 Table 24 Passive Sampling Project Results Since the partial entry into effect of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Act No. 39 of 2004, “the AQA”) on 11 September 2005, and the subsequent development of its national framework for air quality management in South Africa, the DEA has attempted to identify areas that require attention within the Republic with emphasis mostly on Metropolitan and District Municipalities. In doing so, the department developed Table 24 of the 2007 National Framework for air quality management in South Africa which used a subjective grading system which classifies these areas as either “potentially poor” or “poor”. Essentially, an area can move upwards from being “potentially poor” to become “poor” or vice-versa.

At the time of the development of 2007 National Framework and subsequently its Table 24, there was limited information and data to devise an objective system of identification of such areas, let alone the verification and validation of their upward or downward movement within the air quality rating system described in Table 24. As a consequence and given the limited air quality monitoring capability in South Africa, it has become increasingly difficult to monitor, verify and validate the air quality rating reflected on Table 24. However, with the recent development of the National Air Quality Indicator (NAQI) in the 2010-2011 financial year and the finalisation of the Government-owned Air Quality Monitoring Network Audit, the department identified the need of developing an air quality rating system based on robust data and information. With the audit confirming the need for extending the current air quality monitoring initiatives in the country and taking into account the expensive nature of running continuous air quality monitors, it appears that the cost-effective means of developing sound data and information is through a national passive sampling campaign targeting areas identified in Table 24. The government-owned station audit also confirms that the majority of the areas listed in Table 24 do not have continuous ambient air quality monitors (see map of sampling locations below). Hence, it appears that even at this point in time, there is no proper means of reviewing the air quality ratings on Table 24.

The department has commenced with implementation of the AQMP support programme (DEA, 2012) that is available on SAAQIS. The purpose of the programme is to provide the necessary technical support to all spheres of government in developing their AQMPs as required by section 15 of the AQA. Each year, specific and special focus is given to selected provinces. These provinces are prioritised based on the number of municipalities of concern that do not have AQMPs. The technical support includes, but not limited to  providing the necessary information required for AQMP development,  providing the necessary training on AQMP development,  attending AQMP project PSC meetings,  assisting in development of AQMP interventions  assisting in developing motivations for AQMP projects

During the last year, the DEA provided technical support to LEDET by attending all the project PSC meetings to provide technical advice, contributing to gathering of emissions data and assisting in the development of interventions strategies. The objective was to ensure that the AQMP developed could be easily and effectively be adopted by municipalities in the province. In the next financial year (2013/14), the support programme will focus on Kwazulu Natal, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape. 75

3.10.2.1 The 7th Annual Air Quality Governance Lekgotla

The DEA hosted its 7th Annual Air Quality Governance Lekgotla was held on 29 and 30 October 2012 at the Orion Safari Lodge in Rusternburg, North West. The theme for the 2012 Air Quality Governance Lekgotla was “Sharpening of the air quality technical and legislative aspects for improved service delivery”. Various AQA technical and regulatory tools have been developed or are being amended towards the fulfilment of the right of all to an environment that is not harmful to health and well-being. The National Framework for Air Quality Management, which was established in 2007 as contemplated in Section 7 of the AQA, is currently under review, the S21 of the AQA (Listed Activities and Associated Minimum Emission Standards) is being amended, ambient air quality monitoring is expanding across the country, to mention a few.

The 2012 Air Quality Governance Lekgotla, therefore, focused on The objective of the Annual Air quality government’s unified implementation of the AQA and sharpening of its technical and legislative tools. The following presentations were made: Governance Lekgotla was –“All government air quality managers,  The 2012 State of Air Report and the National Air Quality Indicator through their knowledge of what can and (DEA, Mr Tsietsi Mahema); should be done gained during the  Ambient air quality monitoring in the National Priority Areas Lekgotla, are inspired to build, (SAWS, Dr. Gregor Fieg); strengthen and / or fine-tune their tools Ambient air quality monitoring in the Mpumalanga Province (MP  towards the implementation of the AQA.

The Air Quality Governance Lekgotla was followed by a Multi-stakeholder Workshop on 31 October, hosted in collaboration with NACA and the NACA Annual Conference on 01-02 November 2012 under the auspices of the DEA/ NACA MoU. The three events marked the 2012 Annual National Air Quality Week (ANAQW).

3.10.2.1 The 8th Annual Air Quality Governance Lekgotla

The 8th Annual Air Quality Governance Lekgotla was held at Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 30 September to 01 October 2013. The Lekgotla was held back to back with International Union of Air Pollution Prevention and Environmental Protection Associations (IUAPPA) congress hosted by NACA from 30 September – 4 October 2013. The theme for the 2013 Lekgotla was “Towards the First Decade of Unified and Sustainable Air Quality Governance in South Africa”. Air quality officials from all spheres of government reflected on the interventions implemented since the promulgation of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (No. 39 of 2004) (AQA), to enable them to devise possible solutions towards improvement of air in the country.

The following presentations were made during the two day event:  The 2013 Lekgotla Aims and Objectives – National Air Quality Officer, Dr Thuli N. Mdluli;  The 2013 State of Air Report and the National Air Quality Indicator (DEA, Mr Tsietsi Mahema);  Air quality management, systems and tools in the Western Cape (WC DEADP, Dr Joy Learner);  Ambient air quality monitoring and reporting in the Kwazulu-Natal Province (KZN DAEA, Mr Jethan Kalidass/ Mr Jay Puckree);  Air quality monitoring and reporting in the Gauteng Province (GDARD , Ms Lydia Muditambi);  National Norms and Standards for Air Quality Monitoring: An Authorities’ Perspective (DEA, Dr Patience Gwaze);  Baseline Study for Clamp Kilns in South Africa and Possible Regulatory Approaches (DEA, Dr Gregory Scott);  Section 21: Animal Matter Processing and Burning Grounds – Future Regulatory Refinements (DEA, Mr. Olebogeng Matshediso);  Requirements for the National Atmospheric Emission Inventory System Reporting Regulations (DEA, Mr Thabo Setshedi);

The Air Quality Lekgotla was followed by a Multi-stakeholder Workshop on 02 October 2013, hosted in collaboration with NACA. The topics discussed during the workshop was the proposed Offset Policy for Air Quality Management, and the ambient air quality monitoring norms and standards currently being developed by the DEA. This was a great opportunity as the government officials interacted with local and international air quality management experts as most of them participated in the IUAPPA congress.

4. NEW AND EMERGING PRIORITY AIR QUALITY ISSUES

4.1 AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMMES

Numerous studies and interaction have indicated from time to time that there was a recognizable contribution to air quality problem from sources other than from industrial sources. These sources included dust from mine dumps, pollution from domestic fuel burning, pollution from waste burning in an uncontrolled environments etc. This financial year (2013/14) the DEA drafted the Air Quality Improvement Programs Five (5) year Plan document. The objective of this Plan is to introduce different ways to manage air pollution from small scale industrial activities in South Africa. The plan sets the scene and guides the different spheres of government and other role players on ways to address air pollution from sources other than the Section 21(AQA) Listed Activities. The Plan complements control approaches already developed by local Authorities/governments. It includes locally appropriate measures, as well as control measures that the DEA encourages to be implemented nation- wide. The overall objective of this Plan is to complement the activities outlined in the AQMPs drafted by different sphere (National, Provincial, District municipalities and Local municipalities) of Government in terms of section 15 of Air Quality Act, (Act No. 39 of 2004). The other objective is to fulfill the requirements of section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic. Section 24 of the Constitution states that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being and to have the environment protected, for the benefit of the present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that:  Prevent pollution and ecological degradation  Promote conservation; and  Secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.

A guide document was also compiled for use by authorities. This guide document will be used to inform dust controlling as one of the response that both the industries and authorities should consider in their effort to improve air quality. The document provides a guide in the management of dust using the following facilities as an example:

 Dust from mining operations (mine dust and dumps); and  Storage and handling of ore and coal not situated on the premises of a mine or works as defined in the Mines Health and Safety Act 29/1996 for Locations designed to hold less than 100 000 tons.

2012 -2013 NATIONAL AIR QUALITY OFFICER’S REPORT ON AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

The requirements of the dust management are guided and controlled by National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004 (Act No. 39 of 2004), National Dust Control Regulation, 2013. Although this guide is sector specific, it will be applicable to various sectors that generate dust with minor modification.

The development and action plan measures of the Air Quality Improvement Programs Five (5) year Plan document (Including the guide document) were implemented in three (3) phases:

 First stage was the Initial Draft Plan/ guide document by The Department of Environmental Affairs (Development Phase);  Second stage was the consultation and inputs from interested and affected stakeholders (Consultation Phase), the Working Group II Members and the Local Authorities. The gaps discovered in the proposed Plan/guide document were closed through inputs and comments from these consultations (Recommendations Inputs Phase);  In the final stage, the Plan phases and the guide document were finalised and submitted for Approval (Plan Approval Phase;  The Final phase involved the initiation of activities (implementation) as outlined in the plan document.

5 WAY FORWARD

It is evident from the report that despite all the efforts that DEA, provinces and local authorities are investing in implementing the AQA, there is still a lot more to be done to achieve air that is not harmful to health and well-being of the people in South Africa. The current state of air, based on ambient air quality monitoring across the country, shows that significant strides have been made in reducing ambient levels of sulphur dioxide. However, particulate matter is still a pollutant of concern in some areas, with levels exceeding national ambient air quality standards considerably. In this regard, all spheres of government should continue to strengthen the implementation of air quality management plans towards reducing levels of particulate pollution.

The accuracy of air quality measurements cannot be over-emphasized as we cannot manage what is unkown or not understood. In light of this, emphasis must be placed on ambient air quality monitoring across the spheres of government. As we celebrate the growth in the number of government-owned monitoring stations (102 monitoring stations) and the fact that they report to the SAAQIS, going forward the target must shift from acquiring new monitoring stations to ensuring proper maintenance of these existing state assets. Members of the public need to have access to credible ambient air quality monitoring information so as to assess the state of air in line with their right to an environment (in particular – air) that is not harmful to their health and well-being. Moreover, such information is important to all stakeholders including researchers, academia, etc and for government to report compliance, as the case may be, to national ambient air quality standards.

Finally, there is a renewed focus going ahead to address other sources of pollution that are unconventional but highly significant due to their impact. The initiation of air quality improvement programs seeks to address these but more critically, the development of government-wide strategies to address domestic combustion of dirty fuels and vehicle tail-pipe emissions has begun. Stakeholders have started participating and owning their different roles in these processes and this indicates a concerted focus to clean up the air and to keep clean air clean. Together, we look forward to cleaner and healthy air in the years ahead.
