ProposalDescription: 

Thungela Resources Limited (hereinafter referred to as Thungela) operates its Navigation Colliery in Emalahleni within the Nkangala District Municipality of the Mpumalanga province. Navigation Colliery (also known as Khwezela North Operations) is an opencast thermal coal mine that produces coal for both local and international markets. It is Thungela's intention to relocate an existing 22kV Eskom powerline footprint to continue with mining development at the areas where the powerline is currently located. The proposed project will not trigger any requirement for an Environmental Authorisation (EA) or a Water Use Licence (WUL) as no listed activities or water uses are triggered under the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) or National Water Act (NWA), respectively. However, a General Authorisation for water uses will sought.

Expanded_Motivation: 

As per Section 38 (1) of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999): Subject to the provisions of subsection (7), (8) and (9), any person who intends to undertake a development as - (a) the construction of a road, wall, powerline, pipeline, canal or other similar form of linear development or barrier exceeding 300 m in length; must at the very earliest stages of initiating such a development, notify the responsible heritage resources authority and furnish it with details regarding the location, nature and extent of the proposed development. This application serves as a notice for the intent to relocate the powerline. The powerline is approximately 2.35 km long and will be relocated to a rehabilitated opencast footprint. The powerline relocation is proposed to be on the following farm portions in the Mpumalanga province: - Schoongezicht 308 JS Portion RE/308; and - Witbank No 307 JS Portion RE/61.
