1575 Kareerand Pipeline

MWS plans to construct an additional 800mm diameter return water pipeline along the existing pipeline route from
Kareerand Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) to Midway Dam to increase pumping rate of return water from Kareerand TSF
to the reclamation pump stations. The infrastructure planned is an additional 11.1km return water pipeline. The water
from Kareerand is the main source of water for the reclamation operations and the proposed pipeline will increase the
volume of return water available for reclamation and processing at MWS plant.
The proposed project is located on farms Kareerand 444 ptn 7, Wildebeestpan 442 ptn 0, Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn
57, Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn 5, Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn 38, Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn 8, Hartebeesfontein 422 ptn
41, Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn 91,and Hartebeestfontein 422 ptn 93. The proposed return water pipeline is located approximately 7.5km north-east of the town Orkney and 16km
south-east of Klerksdorp Central. The proposed pipeline will start at Kareerand TSF (starting point: 26°54'18.97"S,
26°52'34.89"E) and end at Midway Dam (ending point: 26°53'18.42"S, 26°48'1.91"E). This project is located in the Matlosana Local Municipality, North West Province.
