Will the project involve use, storage, transport, handling, production or release of substances or materials (including solid waste) which could be harmful to the environment? 3. Will the project release pollutants or any hazardous, toxic or noxious substances to air? 4. Will the project cause noise and vibration or release of light, heat energy or electromagnetic radiation? 5. Will the project lead to risks of contamination of land or water from releases of pollutants onto the ground or into surface waters, groundwater, coastal wasters or the sea? Impact applicable to this project? Yes / No / ? . Briefly describe Is this likely to result in a significant effect? Yes/No? Why? Yes No Concerns were addressed, participants were satisfied with explanations. Yes No No concerns were raised Yes No Project is likely to improve the situation Yes No No concerns were raised Yes No The project leads to a reduction of water contamination; this was Specific comments received J Mndolovu wanted to know the difference between the effects of sawdust and coal burning. It was explained that both fuel burning meas pollution on a local level but only coal has an impact onm a global level (climate change.) Frans Mongwe indicated that his views as presented to the meeting he addressed were that the project is positive as pollution is dangerous. He indicates that members at boilers have been requesting regular medicals because they were worried about coal impact.
6. Are there any areas on or around the location which are protected under international or national or local legislation for their ecological value, which could be affected by the project? 7. Are there any other areas on or around the location, which are important or sensitive for reasons of their ecology, e.g. wetlands, watercourses or other water bodies, the coastal zone, mountains, forests or woodlands, which could be affected by the project? 8. Are there any areas on or around the location which are used by protected, important or sensitive species of fauna or flora e.g. for breeding, nesting, foraging, resting, overwintering, migration, which could be affected by the project? 9. Are there any inland, coastal, marine or underground waters on or around the location which could be affected by the project? 10. Is the project location susceptible to earthquakes, subsidence, landslides, erosion, flooding or extreme or adverse climatic conditions e.g. temperature inversions, fogs, severe winds, which could cause the project to present environmental problems? Socioeconomic and Health Impacts 11. Will the project involve use, storage, transport, handling, production or release of substances or materials (including solid waste) which could be harmful to human health or raise concerns about actual or perceived risks to human health? 12. Will the project release pollutants or any hazardous, toxic or noxious substances to air that could adversely affect human health?

It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font. page 51 Peter Mlangeni works at the boiler. He is positive about the project and supports it. He previously asked management to go for medicals once in three months because he saw the health risks of the coal and the smoke. Project sounds excellent to him as the risk of air pollution will be reduced.
