Mogalakwena waste strategy February 2011__________________________________________________________________________________1. INTRODUCTIONThe elimination of waste in its entirety will not be feasible but through the systematicapplication of the waste hierarchy (see figure 1) it might be possible to reach a point in futurewhere recovery, reuse and recycling and alternative disposal technologies overtake landfillsas preferred means of disposal. The strategy seeks to provide norms and standards toensure group uniformity in managing waste.Figure 1: waste hierarchy (NWS)Action plans will be instituted to ensure compliance with the waste strategy. Figure 2 showsthat the waste strategy aims to change our current practice where disposal to landfill formsthe major component of our waste management, to focus on waste reduction with disposal asa last resort only.Figure 2: Journey towards an ideal waste hierarchy3

Mogalakwena waste strategy February 2011__________________________________________________________________________________2. SCOPEThis document is applicable to Mogalakwena Mine including the mine and two concentrators.This waste strategy addresses the Hazardous and Non-hazardous waste management asidentified in the National Environmental Management: Waste Act. no.59 of 2008. Thefollowing elements will be considered:• Waste stream identification, catégorisation, classification & quantification;• Permitting requirements as per legislation ;• Waste Minimisation, Reuse & Recycling; and target setting;• Internal (SHE database) and external (SAWIS) Reporting ;• Waste Disposal and treatment.4

Mogalakwena waste strategy February 2011__________________________________________________________________________________3. WASTE CATEGORIZATION, CLASSIFICATION & QUANTIFICATIONObjectives:• Identify all different waste streams• Categorise all different waste types• Proper management of the different waste types• Waste manifest system (records and quantities) is required to track hazardous wastemanagement cycle from generator, transport and final management.• Waste must not be mixed or diluted.• Waste must be managed within 3 months (i.e. no indefinite storage of waste).• Consideration of the MSDS on the hazardous material waste productsSchedule 1: Pre-classified WasteGeneral Waste• Domestic waste;• Building and Demolition waste;• Inert waste;• Business waste (except with components that maybe hazardous);• Waste tyres;• Garden waste;• Post consumer packaging (paper, plastic, glass);• Animal carcassesHazardous Waste• Health Care Risk Waste (HCRW);• Asbestos Waste;• General waste contaminated with hazardouswaste / chemicals3.1.

Mogalakwena waste strategy February 2011__________________________________________________________________________________4. PERMITTING REQUIREMENTSAnglo Platinum has proposed an assessment methodology that could assist operations inorder to determine whether a legal obligation arises to obtain a waste management license inrespect of a particular activity or waste type. The two phased assessment to determinewhether the Waste Act applies can therefore be illustrated as follows:Q1: Is the wastematter one of thefollowing:Debris, discard, tailings, slimes,screening, slurry, waste rock, foundrysand, beneficiation plant wasteYesWasteAct doesnot applyQ2: If not, is thewaste matter:Any other waste product which is objectivelyviewed as forming a legitimate part of the miningapplication concerned with mining of a mineral orany activity directly incidental thereto.WASTE ACT APPLIES: FURTHER ASSESSMENTREQUIREDNoIs it waste as defined in theWaste Act?YesIs it a listed waste management activity?YesNoNoWastemanagementlicence notrequiredIs it lawful?YesNoWaste Management LicenserequiredAll operations are therefore required to determine whether the waste Act applies by doing theassessment before end of March 2011. Those that are found to have landfill/storagecapacities which are above the required thresholds will apply for waste authorisation in termsof the Waste Act.17

The site has been registeredwith LEDET and a Basic Assessment has been conducted. The EIAprocedure must be completed.• The Basic Assessment must still be submitted to LEDET.• Public Consultation Process.• Completion of a full EIA.• An authorisation through a Record of Decision from LEDETmust be obtained.• The landfill must be developed and commissioned.Five non hazardous salvage and waste transfer areas have beenidentified between the North and South Concentrators, that exceedthe threshold limit and which require an EIA.• A consultant must be appointed to conduct a joint EIA for the 5sites.• Completion of the EIA process.• An authorisation through a Record of Decision from LEDETmust be obtained.MineSRKSRKSRKLEDETMineConcentrators.Consultant.LEDETJune 2011July 2011Dec 201120122012June 20112012201218

Mogalakwena waste strategy February 2011__________________________________________________________________________________5. WASTE MINIMISATION, RE-USE & RECYCLING; AND TARGETSTarget:We will strive to reduce the quantities of waste disposed of, in our landfill by 15% (2008baseline) by 2014. Hence, we aim to reduce quantities of waste disposed to landfill by 2.5%a year. To achieve the latter target, waste minimization will be included in the scope of worksfor all our waste management contractors as a key performance indicator.Projects will focus on further increasing re-use and recycling of waste streams to decreasethe volume of waste currently sent to landfill.Mogalakwena graph40001200000035001000000030002500800000020006000000150040000001000500200000002008 2009 2010 YTD201111-Jan 11-Feb 11-Mar 11-Apr 11-May 11-Jun 11-Jul 11-Aug 11-Sep 11-Oct 11-Nov 11-Dec0Waste recycled Waste to Landfill Tonnes Milled TargetCurrent 2010 data indicates that the general waste disposed to landfill increased by 15% ofthe total waste disposed as compared to 2009.

WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSALSection.2 (a) (iv) of the Waste Act clearly indicates that the treatment and disposal of waste isa “last resort” within the hierarchy of waste management measures. In terms of wastetreatment and processing, DEA supports the development of alternatives to landfill, includingincineration and gasification in so far as they generate energy.Table 11.
