- SA Legal Academy
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries & the Environment has gazetted regulations on air quality management plan enforcement and implementation in approved priority areas. Immediately in force, the regulations repeal those in place for the Vaal Triangle since the May 2009.
Released in draft form in March 2023 for comment, the new regulations apply to various stakeholders, including:
- the holder of a mining-related prospecting, exploration or production right or permit
- anyone conducting a listed activity
- anyone operating a controlled emitter, and
- anyone conducting reclamation activities.
Among other things, the regulations cover:
- emission reduction targets and related management planning
- reporting requirements, and
- plan implementation funding and other resources.
Persons found guilty of a first offence under the regulations face a fine not exceeding R5m and/or a maximum prison term of five years. The penalties are doubled for any subsequent offences.
