The following factors and criteria must be used to assess the impacts of the activities:

Criteria MAGNITUDE (Severity) DURATION

1 o - Very high 5 Permanent (longer than 10 years) 8- High 4- Long-term (5 to 10 years) 6 -Moderate 3- Medium-term (12 months to 5 years) 4 Low 2 - Short-term (0 to 12 months 2 -1\llinor 1 - Immediate

SCALE PROBABILITY (Likelihood) 5 - International 5- Definite 4 National 4 - Hi hly probable 3- Regional 3 - Medium probability 2- Local 2 - Low probability 1 -Site only 1 Improbable 0 None 0 None

Magnitude Magnitude measures the size of the impact

Duration Duration refers to the lifetime of the impact i.e. how long it will last

Scale The scale refers to the extent of the impact.

Probability The probability refers to the chance of impact to occur. The potential impact could be most likely to occur, unlikely, etc.

Assessment of Significance of impact

Significance rating of the potential impacts illustrates the importance of the impact itself. The size of area affected by pollution may be extremely high but the significance of this effect is dependent on the concentration or level of pollution in that area. In order to determine the significance of impact, the following method was used:

Significance Points (SP) =(Magnitude+ Duration+ Scale) x Probability

The values of SP are then ranged as follows:

Rating Description .

SP >60 Indicates high environmental An impact which could influence the decision about significance whether or not to proceed with the activities

regardless of any possible mitigation.

SP 30-60 Indicates moderate An impact or benefit which is sufficiently important to environmental significance require management and which could have an

influence on the decision unless it is mitigated.

SP <30 Indicates low environmental Impacts with little real effect and which will not have an significance influence on or require modification of the activities.

+ Positive impact An impact that "1s likely to result in positive consequences/effects

Probability The probability refers to the chance of impact to occur. The potential impact could be most likely to occur, unlikely, etc.


Significance rating of the potential impacts Hfustrates the importance of the impact itself. The size of area affected by pollution may be extremely high but the significance of this effect is dependent on the concentration or level of pollution in that area. In order to determine the significance of impact, the following method was used:

Significance Points (SP) =(Magnitude+ Duration+ Scale) x Probability


Rating . . Description

SP >60 Indicates high environmental An impact which could influence the decision about significance whether or not to proceed with the activities




SP <30 Indicates low environmental Impacts with little real effect and which will not have an significance influence on or require modification of the activities.

+ Positive impact An impact that is likely to result in positive consequences/effects

Probability The probability refers to the chance of impact to occur. The potential impact could be most likely to occur, un!lkely, etc.


Significance rating of the potential impacts illustrates the importance of the impact itself. The size of area affected by pollution may be extremely high but the significance of this effect is dependent on the concentration or level of pollution in that area. In order to determine the significance of impact, the following method was used:

Significance Points (SP) ={Magnitude+ Duration+ Scale) x Probability


Rating Description ..

SP>GO Indicates high environmental An impact which could influence the decision about significance whether or not to proceed with the activities




SP <30 Indicates low environmental Impacts with little real effect and which will not have an

significance influence on or require modification of the activities.

+ Positive impact An impact that is likely to result in positive consequences/effects

Corrective mitigation measure • None

Preventative mitigation measure • Compliance with the Road Traffic Act; • Sasol Transport Policy and Procedures; • Access to ash limited to customers and transporters

that have commercial contracts with Sasol. Corrective mitigation measure • Implementation of the Emergency response plan; • Use of Safety Data Sheet {SDS) with hazard

The point at which coal ash enters the production process of bricks, blocks and cement to the actual products is outside the scope of this risk assessment. The incorporation of coal ash into these existing production processes is matured. The quality of the products from these processes is regulated by relevant standards.



Preventative mitigation measure The use of Safety Data Sheet {SDS) where disposal guidance is provided.

• The use of the National Norms and standard for the assessment of waste for disposal and the Regulations for the classification and management of waste.

Corrective mitigation measure Clean-up plan to be implemented where ash is not disposed properly.

Preventative mitigation measure Contractual agreement with ash customers to include the following clause: "The owner of the facility, including the subsequent owner of the facility will remain responsible for any adverse impacts on the environment and health stemming from stockpiled ash, even after operations have ceased."
