Electricity cannot be stored and must be used as it is generated. Therefore, electricity must be

generated in accordance with supply-demand requirements. Eskom Holdings Limited (Eskom)

provides energy and related services, including the generation, transmission, distribution and supply

of electricity. Eskom currently generates approximately 95% of the electricity used in South Africa.

The reliable provision of electricity by Eskom is thus critical for industrial development, related

employment and sustainable development in South Africa.

In order to be able to adequately provide for the growing electricity demand, Eskom have identified

various technologies in different locations. As part of its capacity expansion programme, Eskom

Holdings Limited will construct a 4800 MW coal-fired power station, named Medupi, in the Lephalale

area in the vicinity of the existing Matimba Power Station. A positive Record of Decision was received

on the 21st of September 2006. This Environmental Management Programme (EMP) pertains to the

construction phase of the Medupi Power Station, to be constructed on the farm Naauwontkomen 509

LQ (station centre line co-ordinates: X: +2 622 675 and Y: -57 470) with the ash dump potentially on

the farm Eenzaamheid 687 LQ (see figure 1.1).

1.1. Overview of the Proposed Project

Medupi Power Station will have a maximum installed capacity of up to 4800 MW. The power plant

and associated plant (terrace area) would require an area of 700 ha, and an additional 1000 ha would

be required for ancillary services, including the possibility of on-surface ashing facilities. Eskom and

Exxaro (previous Kumba Resources) are currently investigating the feasibility of in-pit ashing, where

the ash from Medupi Power Station would be taken directly to the pit at Exxaro’s Grootgeluk Mine,

for disposal. If this ash disposal is found to be feasible, no on-surface ash disposal would take place at

Medupi Power Station.

Medupi Power Station will be a super-critical, pulverised fuel power station, utilising direct dry-cooled

technology. The power station will utilise electrostatic bagfilters as its primary pollution abatement

technology (for particulate emissions, anticipated to be less than 50mg/Sm3), and will have low NOx

burners inherently built into the boiler for efficient combustion and thus lower NOx emissions. In

terms of sulphur oxide emissions, the power station will be constructed to be FGD (flue gas

desulphurisation) ready, i.e. physical space will be allowed for the FGD plant and the smokestacks

lined with FGD compatible materials, should the power station be retrofitted with it at a later stage.

When fully operational, the power station would strive towards a zero liquid effluent discharge

philosophy.

Coal for Medupi Power Station will come from the Exxaro’s adjacent Grootegeluk Colliery, to be

delivered to the power station via conveyor belts. The Grootegeluk Colliery, which also services the

existing power station, is located to the immediate west of Matimba Power Station. An estimated 7.3

million tonnes per year of coal (measured on a dry basis) is required for the first three units at the

Medupi Power Station.

The Power Station is proposed to be constructed and commissioned in phases in order to meet the

growing demand of electricity. Appropriate technology alternatives have been investigated by Eskom

from a technical and economic feasibility perspective through pre-feasibility studies. All Eskom's

existing operational coal-fired power stations utilise pulverised fuel technology (PF). The first phase of

this proposed power station will consist of 3 units, each with a nominal installed capacity of 750 MW,

Eskom Generation Environmental Management 9 2010/04/26

Environmental Management Plan for the Construction Phase of the new Medupi Coal-Fired Power

Station in the Lephalale Area, Limpopo Province Revision 2, April 2010

pulverised fuel combustion. The second phase, once formally approved via the Eskom approval

processes, will also comprise 3 x 750 MW units, pulverised fuel combustion.

The power station structure will be approximately 130 m high and approximately 700 m wide, subject

to final designs. The required stacks, 2 in total, would be approximately 250m in height, subject to

final designs. Direct-cooling technology will be applied, with only a small open evaporative system for

critical auxiliaries that cannot be accommodated by the main cooling system. No cooling towers will

be constructed for the main cooling system. Other related infrastructure would include an HV yard,

coal stockpile (with a terrace footprint of approximately 61 hectares and a storage capacity of

approximately 2 million tonnes) and associated conveyor belts, and a potential ash dump, with

infrastructure such as transmission lines being planned to integrate the station into the national

electricity grid. The EIA for the Transmission lines is a separate process and has been initiated.

It would take approximately 48 months to construct the first generating unit, after which subsequent

units would be completed at nine month intervals. During the construction period, there will be

approximately 38 main contractors (boiler, turbine, civil, smokestacks, etc) on-site, with between 100300 different subcontractors on-site at any given point during the construction period. The

construction period is said to last up to 6 years (six units). At the peak of the construction period,

there will be approximately 7400 people on-site. Appendix A is an indication of the phasing of

manpower over the 6-year construction period.

Construction activities would include inter alia the following enabling works:

x Terracing

x Terrace and Contractors’ Yards roads and lay-down areas

x Stormwater drainage

x Sewerage

x Construction electricity ring main

x Construction potable and raw water supplies

x Construction telecommunications

2.2. Environmental Specification: Awareness and Competence

It is important to ensure that all personnel have the appropriate level of environmental awareness

and competence to ensure continued environmental due diligence and ongoing minimisation of

environmental harm.

To achieve effective environmental management, it is important that Employees, Contractors and

Subcontractors are aware of the responsibilities in terms of the relevant environmental legislation

and the contents of this EMP.

Environmental training may typically include the following:

x Employees must have a basic understanding of the key environmental features of the

construction site and the surrounding environment;

x Employees will be familiar with the requirements of the EMP and the environmental

specifications as they apply to the construction of the power station.

x Basic training in the identification of archaeological artefacts, and rare and endangered flora and

fauna that may be encountered on the site.

x Awareness of any other environmental matters, which are deemed to be necessary by the ECO.

x Records must be kept of those that have completed the relevant training.

Training can be done either in a written or verbal format or in an appropriate language, but will be in

an appropriate format for the receiving audience. Where training has been done verbally, persons

having received training must indicate in writing that they have indeed attended a training session. A

regular form of written or verbal testing will have to be designed.

Station in the Lephalale Area, Limpopo Province Revision 2, April 2010

2.3. Monitoring and Measurement Programme

Monitoring programs for specifically water quality, noise and dust (in accordance with specifications

detailed in relevant permits and standards) will be put in place by the Contractor, not only to ensure

conformance with the EMP, but also to monitor any environmental issues and impacts which have not

been accounted for in the EMP that are, or could result in significant environmental impacts for which

corrective action is required. These monitoring programmes will reflect the relevant variables to be

monitored, as well as the frequency, into which the ECO will give inputs. The monitoring programme

will be determined in consultation with relevant stakeholders and authorities. The Site Director will

ensure that the monitoring is carried out.

Scientific monitoring

o Groundwater Monitoring

A groundwater monitoring system will be established on-site by the Site Environmental Manager. It

may be necessary to alter construction procedures should there be any evidence of groundwater

pollution emanating from site activities. Such alterations shall be identified through discussions

between the Contractor, Environmental Officer and the Site Director/Environmental Manager and

shall be tabled and ratified at the EMC

o Monitoring of sewage and stormwater systems

A monitoring system shall be established on site by the Environmental Manager to assess water

discharge conditions (sewage, concrete water effluent, stormwater, etc.) as stipulated by the water

use license as well as any conditions or standards required by or in accordance with the local

municipality’s regulations. Violation of these standards shall be a cause for the Site Director to order

the suspension of all effluent discharges, until such time that a suitable solution has been

implemented.

o Monitoring of dust in the atmosphere

A scientifically based dust monitoring programme must, as a minimum, include a schedule for dust

suppression (spraying), speed limits for vehicles on unpaved roads, location and treatment of material

stockpiles, the minimisation of the area disturbed at any one time and protection of exposed soil

against wind erosion and a reporting mechanisms and action plan in case of excessive wind and dust

conditions.

Dust measurement will be only be required at those portions of the working area where working is

actively occurring. Removable dust collectors, mounted at a height of 2 meters above ground, shall be

used of this, the exact number and position to be decided in consultation with the ECO and Site

Environmental Manager. As a minimum, at least four dust monitors should be positioned on the

perimeter of the site. Dust shall be collected on a weekly basis from the dust collectors and the dust

fallout shall be calculated according to the formula: Fallout = M/ (AxD), where M= mass of dust

sample, A= area of opening dust collector and d= number of days over which sample was collected.

Should fallout exceed standards set in SANS1929:2005 then the Contractor shall cease with the

operations that are causing the dust until such time as remedial measures have been put in place to

ensure that dust levels are within the specified limit. Records of all dust level measurements shall be

kept for the duration of the construction period, and where necessary, will be discussed at and made

available to the EMC.

x All employees on-site will abide by the requirements of the EMP.

x Any members of the construction workforce found to be in breach of any of the specifications

contained within the EMP may be ordered by the Site Director to leave the site. The order may

be given orally or in writing. Confirmation of an oral order will be provided as soon as practically

possible, but the absence of a written order will not be cause for an offender to remain on site.

x The Contractor will not direct a person to undertake any activity which would place them in

contravention of the specifications contained within the EMP.

x Should the Contractor be in breach of any of the specifications contained in the EMP, the Site

Director will, in writing, instruct the Contractor responsible for the incident of non-compliance

regarding corrective and/or remedial action required, specify a timeframe for implementation of

these actions, implement a penalty and/or indicate that work will be suspended should non-

compliance continue.

x The Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC) must report to the Director-General of the

Department of Environmental Affairs & Tourism (DEA) on a quarterly basis, insofar as project

compliance to the condition of this Record of Decision, environmental legislation and specific

mitigation requirements as stipulated in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the

Environmental Management Plans is concerned. The report should be sent to the

x Director: Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) as well.

x The applicant must notify the DEA, in writing, within 24 hours thereof if any condition of the ROD

authorisation cannot, or is not, adhered to. The notification must be supplemented with reasons

for non-compliance.

x Departmental officials will be given access to the property referred to in the ROD authorisation

for the purpose of assessing and/or monitoring compliance with the conditions contained in the

ROD, at all reasonable times.

This document is a sewage management plan for the Medupi Power Station construction site. It describes how portable sanitary toilets and sewage shall be managed, requiring active involvement of Team Medupi and its contractors. The plan applies to the Medupi Power Station Project and is effective from the date of approval.

The document is a sewage management plan for the Medupi Power Station construction site. It covers the management of portable chemical toilets, urinals, hand wash facilities, conservancy tanks, permanent toilets, sewage lines, and a sewage treatment plant. Key requirements include:

• Sanitary facilities must be provided at a ratio of 1:30 workers.
• Ablution facilities must have toilet paper and hand wash soap.
• Sanitary waste bins for female toilets; sanitary waste handled as hazardous waste.
• Portable toilets must be on stable, level ground, anchored, and away from water courses.
• Portable toilets must be cleaned and emptied regularly; spillages reported and rectified immediately.
• Sewage from portable toilets must be disposed of on site at a point allocated by Team Medupi.
• Connections to sewage networks must be done by a qualified plumber.
• Excavation permits required before digging.
• Spill prevention and reporting procedures with four classification levels (insignificant, minor, moderate, major).

Connections to sewage networks must be done by a qualified plumber. The document does not specify other experience or qualification requirements for bidders.

The document includes a self-assessment checklist for the process owner to review operational integrity, process efficiency, and stakeholder knowledge. All EMS documents must undergo a 3-yearly compulsory review. Key performance areas and indicators are defined for servicing, cleaning, waste management, and document control.

The document references the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Construction Regulations. It requires spill prevention, control, and reporting. In the event of a sewage spill, the area must be cordoned off, the spill contained, and cleaned up using approved disinfectants. Spills must be reported per the Medupi Environmental Incident Procedure. No project-specific training beyond normal job function is required.

The plan aims to avoid or minimise sewage spillages that could negatively affect human health and the environment. It references the National Environmental Management Act, National Water Act, and National Environmental Management: Waste Act. The Medupi Sewage Treatment Plant is authorised by the Department of Water and Sanitation. Dried sewage sludge is disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste landfill. Portable toilets must be placed away from water courses. Spill response includes containment, disinfection, and reporting.
