QUESTION 1 (Mining EMPR)
Environmental Impact Assessment for Open-Cast Coal Mining
The establishment of an open-cast coal mine can have various detrimental effects on the
receiving environment. These impacts affect multiple environmental aspects such as air
quality, water resources, biodiversity, and human health. In this narrative, we will discuss the

suggest mitigation measures that can help achieve acceptable standards. This analysis will
draw on the Lessons and the provided documents: the Project Fairway Draft Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Programme (EMP), the South
Deep Mine EMP, and the Fairbreeze Environmental Audit Report.
