UKUHLAZIYWA OKUYISISEKELO KWEPHROJEKTHI EHLONGOZWAYO YOKUNWETSHWA KWE-C3, E-SASOL SECUNDA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, E-MPUMALANGA MDEDET REF NO: 17/2/3 GS-172 INCWADI YOLWAZI OLUYISENDLALELO MEYI 2013 1. LE NCWADI IKUTSHELANI? Le ncwadi ihlose ukunikeza wena, njengomuntu othanda ukubamba iqhaza nothintekile (I&AP), ulwazi oluyisendlalelo mayelana nesicelo seSigunyazo Sezemvelo (EA) (esathulwa ku-MDEDET) sephrojekthi ehlongozwayo yokunwetshwa kweC3, e-Secunda, kuMasipala wendawo wase-Govan Mbeki, esifundazweni sase-Mpumalanga, kanye nocwaningo lwezemvelo oludingekayo okufanele lwenziwe. Iphinde ikhombise ukuthi wena ungabandanyeka kanjani kule phrojekthi, uthole ulwazi, noma uphakamise izinto ezingase zikukhathaze kanye/noma zikwenze ube nesasasa. Ukucobelelana ngolwazi kwakha isisekelo senqubo yokubambaiqhaza komphakathi futhi kukunikeza ithuba lokuba neqhaza kule projekthi kusukela ekuqaleni. Imibono evela kuma-I&AP iqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izindaba ezingase zithinte imvelo ziyacatshangelwa lapho kwenziwa ucwaningo. 2. IMIGOMO YALE PHROJEKTHI Iphrojektho yokunwetshwa kwe-C3 yaqawa ukuze kuhlinzekwe i-propylene eyengeziwe elinganiselwa ku-105 ktpa (amakhilothani ngonyaka) ezotholakala ngo-2014 ngenxa yamaprojekthi ahlukahlukene okuthuthukisa ezakhiweni ezingenhla ze-Sasol. Kwahlongozwa ithuba lokuthi i-propylene eyengeziwe isetshenziselwe ukuphakela amaplanti epolypropylene (PP), okuyi-PP1 ne-PP2. Ukuze iqale le phrojekthi, kudingeka kutholakale Ucwaningo Lokubhekela imvelo( EA) ngokuvumelana noMthetho wokulawulwa kwezemvelo kuzwelonke, 1998 (No 107 ka-1998) njengoba uchitshiyelwe, kanye neZiqondiso zokuhlaziywa komthelela wezemvelo (EIA) (2010). 3. INCAZELO YEPHROJEKTHI Yonke i-propylene eyengeziwe izoguqulwa ibe i-polypropylene ngokukhulula ingcindezi kuwo womabili lamaplanti okuyi-PP1 ne-PP2 ekhona ukuze zisebenze ngomthamo owengeziwe odingekayo ka-105 ktpa. I-propylene eyengeziwe izohlukaniswa phakathi kwawo womabili la maplanti. I-PP1 izoguqula u-30 ktpa kuyilapho i-PP2 izoguqula omunye u-75 ktpa. Inhloso yokusebenza kwamaplanti e-PP ukuguqulwa ngokusezingeni eligcwele kwe-propylene ne-ethylene esuka e-Sasol Synfuels ibe yizinhlamvana ze-polypropylene ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-polymerization. Imikhiqizo evela kulokhu yiHomopolymers (ehlanganisa i-propylene kuphela), i-Impact Copolymers (i-propylene ne-ethylene) kanye ne-Random Copolymers (i-propylene ne-ethylene). Iphrojekthi Yokunwetshwa Kwe-C3 ibandakanya ukuthuthukiswa nokufakwa koshintsho emishinini ye-PP1 ne-PP2 ekhona ukuze kulungiselelwe ukwanda komkhiqizo olindelekile.. 3.2 Indawo yePhrojekthi Ehlongozwayo Yokunwetshwa Kwe-C3 Lendawo i ehlongozwayo ilapho kuzinze khona amaplanti e-PP1 ne-PP2 ngaphakathi kwemboni ye-Sasol Polymers e-Sasol Secunda Industrial Complex. Bheka ibalazwe lendawo elinanyathiselwe ekugcineni kwale ncwadi. 3.3 Ezinye izindlela zalokho Okuhlongozwa Ukwenziwa Enye indlela ichazwa ngokuthi indlela ehlukile yokuhlangabezana nezinjongo nezimfuno ezivamile zomsebenzi ohlongozwayo. Kule phrojekthi, kuye kwahlongozwa lezi ezinye izindlela ezilandelayo zephrojekthi ehlongozwayo yokunwetshwa kwe-C3. Ithebula 1: Ezinye Izindlela Enye Indlela Incazelo Ukunwetshwa Kwamaplanti E-PP ekhona Kwenziwa izivivinyo zezinga eliphezulu kanye nabakhiphi bamalayisensi eplanti ukuze kutholakale ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukukhulula izindawo eziyingcindezi kumaplanti e-PP. Ngemva kwalokho, kwatholakala ukuthi ~1~ Enye Indlela Incazelo lendlela yiyo eyonga kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi zimbalwa izinto ezizoshintshwa futhi ingxenye yokusabela kwale yunithi ngeke ishintshwe,okuzokwenza kudingeke imali engaphansi kwale ebizodingeka uma kwakhiwa iplanti entsha. Umshini ozoshintshwa ungafakwa ngesikhathi esifushane uma kuqhathaniswa neplanti entsha. Ukwakhiwa kweplanti entsha yePP Indawo entsha ingaba seduze kwezindawo ezikhona. Indawo entsha ibingafana nezindawo ze-PP1 ne-PP2 futhi isebenze i-Propylene ibe iPolypropylene ethengisekayo. Isikhathi esizochitheka ukwakha indawo entsha side kakhulu kunaleso esidingekayo ukufaka imishini ethile esakhiweni esikhona. 4. UCWANINGO LWEZEMVELO Ukuze kutholakale imvume edingekayo yezemvelo eMnyangweni Wezokuthuthukiswa Komnotho, Ezemvelo Nezokuvakasha Wase-Mpumalanga (MDEDET) (igunya elifanele), kuzokwenziwa ucwaningo Lokuhlaziywa Okuyisisekelo ngokuvumelana neSaziso SikaHulumeni No. R.543 no-R.544 weZiqondiso Ze-EIA (2010). Ukuhlaziywa Okuyisisekelo (BA) ithuluzi lokuhlela okuphumelelayo nokwenza izinqumo, elivumela ukuba kuhlonzwe imiphumela engase ibe khona kwezemvelo ngenxa yephrojekthi ehlongozwayo, nokulawulwa kwayo ngenqubo yokuhlela.

The C3 expansion project was initiated to address an estimated 105 ktpa (kilo tons per annum) additional propylene that will be available in 2014 as a result of various optimisation projects on the upstream Sasol facilities. An opportunity was identified for the additional propylene to be utilised as feed for the polypropylene (PP) plants, namely PP1 and PP2. The operating intent of the PP plants is the maximum conversion of propylene and ethylene from Sasol Synfuels into polypropylene pellets via a polymerization process. The products from this reaction are Homopolymers (constituting only propylene), Impact Copolymers (constituting propylene and a high concentration of ethylene) and Random Copolymers (constituting propylene and a low concentration of ethylene). Both Impact Copolymers and Random Copolymers consist of ethylene and propylene but the difference is the amount of ethylene in the polymer as well as the way in which they are produced. Presently, the two PP plants produce about 26 different grades of polypropylene for various uses. The C3 Expansion Project will involve upgrading and implementing changes to the existing PP1 and PP2 process equipment to accommodate the increase in throughput. Consequently, Sasol Polymers (Pty) Ltd intends to undertake a Basic Assessment study and submit the Basic Assessment (BA) report to MDEDET in support of the proposed project.

An opportunity was identified for the additional propylene to be utilised as feed for the polypropylene (PP) plants, namely PP1 and PP2. All the additional propylene will be converted to polypropylene by debottlenecking both the existing PP1 and PP2 plants so as to process the required additional capacity of 105 ktpa. The additional propylene will be split between the two plants: PP1 will convert additional 30 ktpa while PP2 will convert additional 75 ktpa. The PP1 plant has been in operation from February 1990 and has a capacity of 220000 tpa (tons per annum) whereas the PP2 plant has been in operation from December 2007 with a capacity of 300000 tpa. The operating intent of the PP plants is the maximum conversion of propylene and ethylene from Sasol Synfuels into polypropylene pellets via a polymerization process. The products from this reaction are Homopolymers (constituting only propylene), Impact Copolymers (propylene and ethylene) and Random Copolymers (propylene and ethylene). Presently, the two PP plants produce about 26 different grades of polypropylene for various uses. The C3 expansion project involves upgrading and implementing changes to the existing PP1 and PP2 process equipment to accommodate the increase in throughput. The site of the proposed project is located in the existing PP1 and PP2 plants within the Sasol Polymers plant at the Sasol Secunda Industrial Complex. 1.1 Applicable Documentation The following environmental documentation is applicable for the project, and will be read in conjunction with this EMPr: • • Basic Assessment Report for the Proposed C3 Expansion Project, Secunda, Mpumalanga Province. Environmental Authorisation (EA) from the Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET) – once issued. 1.2 Structure of the Environmental Management Programme The EMPr provides proposed mitigation and management measures for the following phases of the project (refer to FIGURE 1). DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA, MPUMALANGA FIGURE 1: DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE PROJECT LIFECYCLE Relevant environmental legislation pertaining to the project is listed within Chapter 3. Sasol shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the conditions by any person acting on their behalf, including but not limited to, an agent, contractor, sub-contractor, employee or person rendering a service to the holder of the authorisation. This EMPr is a dynamic document which will be updated as required on a continuous basis to ensure environmental best practices. Any amendments made, must be submitted to both the Sasol EIA specialist and Project Manager for approval. Amendments to the EMPr must be submitted to the MDEDET. 1.3 Objectives of the Environmental Management Programme The EMPr has the following objectives: • • • • To outline functions and responsibilities of responsible persons. To state standards and guidelines, which are required to be achieved in terms of environmental legislation. To outline mitigation measures and environmental specifications which are required to be implemented for all phases of the project in order to minimise the extent of environmental impacts, and to manage environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. To prevent long-term or permanent environmental degradation. T01.PTA.000509 Page 2 RHDHV DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA, MPUMALANGA 1.4 The EMPr as a “live” Document The approach adopted for this EMPr is derived from the Deming Cycle (FIGURE 2), a cycle of continuous improvement that entails the reiterative actions of plan, do, check, act, and critically to then return to the planning phase. FIGURE 2: DEMING CYCLE OF CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT 1.4.1 Plan Project-specific planning for the proposed project involves consideration of the legal triggers, the specifics of the proposed development, and the nature of the receiving environment. This provides a starting point for targeted environmental management objectives. Environmental performance indicators are then determined with measurable targets prescribed to monitor the environmental performance of the project. Achieving the targets depends on compliance with this EMPr and the legislative requirements that underpin it. 1.4.2 Do Throughout the development’s life-span, the developer and operator will be required to develop and maintain a Quality Management System – designed to ensure that best management practices are implemented in day-today management. Such a QMS should at least include the following information: • Location and extent of associated infrastructure; • Associated activities, such as the transportation of people and equipment; • Resources and experience required (staffing); • Materials and equipment to be used; • Management actions; • Human resources used; • Construction-monitoring activities; • Emergency / disaster incident and reaction procedures; and • Rehabilitation procedures for the impacted environment. 1.4.3 Check A system of assessing monitoring results has been developed to check the environmental management performance. Continuous assessment facilitates proactive management of the environmental issues. Mitigation T01.PTA.000509 Page 3 RHDHV DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA, MPUMALANGA measures can then be successfully implemented on an ongoing basis to keep environmental indicators within their target thresholds. Moreover, the assessment system also enables the assessment of the efficacy of the EMPr. Regular auditing of environmental performance is prescribed to prove and preserve accountability. 1.4.4 Act The assessments and monitoring of the results and findings of the regular audits must be documented within a reporting system. Precautionary mitigation measures and corrective actions will be prescribed and instructions will be given in order to implement these in the field. The findings of monitoring and auditing programmes can also be used to update the EMPr. Although the EMPr is a project-specific document, it is dynamic and should be updated regularly to address the changing circumstances of the scheme. 1.5 Details of the Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) Consultant: Royal HaskoningDHV Contact Person: Phyllis Kalele and Prashika Reddy Postal Address PO Box 25302 Monument Park 0105 Telephone: (012) 367 5196 / 5973 Facsimile: (012) 367 5878 E-mail: phyllis.kalele@rhdhv.com / prashika.reddy@rhdhv.com Expertise: Phyllis Kalele is a Senior Environmental Consultant with a MSc.

Ensure that all stipulations within the EMPr are communicated and adhered to by Sasol and its Contractor(s). Be fully conversant with the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project, the conditions of the Environmental Authorisation (once issued), and all relevant environmental legislation. • The Sasol Technology EIA Specialist will: Direct the implementation of the EMPr during design. Ensure that the requirements of the EMPr are communicated, understood and enforced by personnel on site during construction and pre-commissioning. Ensure that the aspects/impacts in the EMPr which relates to operations are explained to the business unit SH&E representatives. The SH&E representatives will incorporate requirements into either existing or new environmental management systems. Arrange for undertaking of internal environmental audits and co-ordinate external environmental audits, if necessary. Advise management on environmental issues. • The Contractor (including sub-contractors) will be responsible for: Complying with the environmental management specifications. Adhering to any instructions issued by the Project Manager on advice of the Sasol Technology EIA Specialist. Keep record of all incidents that have occurred during construction period. This should be available during audits. Maintaining a public complaints register. Conduct environmental training and awareness to employees. Arrange for all employees and those of subcontractors to receive training before the commencement of construction in order that they are aware of the conditions of the environmental authorisation and the EMPr. • The Environmental Control Officer will: Be fully conversant with the Basic Assessment study. Be fully conversant with the conditions of the Environmental Authorisation. Be fully conversant with the EMPr. Be fully conversant with all relevant environmental legislation and Sasol environmental policies and procedures, and ensure compliance with them. Convey the contents of this document to the Contractor site staff and discuss the contents in detail with the Project Manager and Contractor. Undertake regular and comprehensive inspection of the site in order to monitor compliance with the EMPr and Environmental Authorisation. Take appropriate action if the specifications contained in the EMPr are not followed. Monitor and verify that environmental impacts are kept to a minimum, as far as possible. Review and approve construction methods (where it could result in environmental impacts) with input from the Project Manager where necessary.

Report any non-compliance or remedial measures that need to be applied to the appropriate environmental authorities, in line with the requirements of the Environmental Authorisation. . Adhering to any instructions issued by the Project Manager on advice of the Sasol Technology EIA Specialist. Keep record of all incidents that have occurred during construction period. This should be available during audits. Maintaining a public complaints register. Conduct environmental training and awareness to employees. Arrange for all employees and those of subcontractors to receive training before the commencement of construction in order that they are aware of the conditions of the environmental authorisation and the EMPr. 2.2 Environmental Awareness Plan It is important to ensure that the Contractor has 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 sub-contractors are aware of their responsibilities in terms of the relevant environmental legislation and the contents of this EMPr. Training needs should be identified based on the available and existing capacity of site personnel (including the Contractors and Sub-contractors) to undertake the required EMPr management actions and monitoring activities. It is vital that all personnel are adequately trained to perform their designated tasks to an acceptable standard. The environmental awareness plan is aimed at: • • • • promoting environmental awareness amongst all personnel on site; informing personnel of all environmental procedures, policies and programmes applicable; providing generic training on the implementation of environmental management specifications; and providing job-specific environmental training in order to understand the key environmental features of the construction site and the surrounding environment. The environmental awareness training programme will include: • • • the induction of all construction and operation staff; signing by all persons, an acknowledgement of receiving and understanding the induction; identification of environmental risks and job specific training on addressing these risks; and training on the implementation of emergency procedures (where necessary). Topics covered by the Environmental Awareness Programme should include: • What is meant by “Environment”? • Why does the environment need to be protected and conserved? • How can construction activities impact on the environment? • What can be done to mitigate against such impacts? • Awareness of emergency and spills response provisions. Training can be done either in a written or verbal format but will be in an appropriate format for the receiving audience. The training must ensure that the contents and requirements of the EMPr are transferred to the audience. Where training has been done verbally, persons having received training must sign an attendance register (which must be properly filed). Training should be conducted monthly by the ECO and can also be dealt with weekly during the ‘Toolbox Talks’. T01.PTA.000509 Page 6 RHDHV DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA, MPUMALANGA In addition to training, general environmental awareness must be fostered among the project’s workforce to encourage the implementation of environmentally sound practices throughout its duration. This ensures that environmental accidents are minimised and environmental compliance maximized. 2.3 Monitoring A monitoring programme will be in place not only to ensure compliance with the EMPr through the contract/work instruction specifications, but also to monitor any environmental issues and impacts which have not been accounted for in the EMPr that are, or could result in significant environmental impacts for which corrective action is required. Sasol Polymers will carry out the following: • • Internal Audits (conducted by Sasol Technology EIA Specialist and Environmental Control Officer by means of site visits). External Audits (conducted by Sasol Technology EIA Specialist and Environmental Management System Auditor). As part of the contract or work instruction, Sasol will stipulate the period and frequency of monitoring required. This will be determined from applicable permits and authorisations from authorities. The Project Manager will ensure that the monitoring is carried out. 2.4 Reporting Procedures 2.4.1 Documentation The following documentation must be kept on site in order to record compliance with the EMPr: • Record of Complaints • Monitoring Results • Non-conformance Reports • Written Corrective Action Instructions • Notification of Emergencies and Incidents. 2.4.2 Reporting The above records will form an integral part of the Contractors’ Records. These records will be kept with the EMPr, and will be made available for scrutiny if so requested during audits.
