Mokala Water Pipeline Project

Mokala Manganese Mine intends constructing a water pipeline to link to the Sedibeng (Municipal) water supply. The planned pipeline is shown in the attached map and is located within Mokala Mining Right (MR) area as well as the adjacent Black Rock Mining Operation (BRMO) MR area. The pipeline details are as follows:

- Maximum length: 3650m
- Depth: 1m
- Dimensions: 4” HDPE PN16 pipe
- Throughput: 10.42-20.8l/min
- Servitude: Culvert under the R380 road– dimensions shown in the layout
- Volumes to be taken from Sedibeng: 15-30kL per day in steady state

Both BRMO and Mokala have undertaken previous heritage impact assessments covering their mining right areas. The identified heritage features in the area are shown on the attached map and none of these features are in close proximity to the proposed water pipeline.
It is understood that no additional infrastructure to the pipeline is required and that no laydown or construction campsites will be established in relation to this pipeline.

We hereby notify the SAHRA in terms of Section 38(1) of the NHRA and respectfully request confirmation that no additional heritage impact assessments etc. are required for the purposes of constructing the pipeline?
