Question NW169 to the Minister of Water and Sanitation
24 February 2017 - NW169
Baker, Ms TE to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
Whether a water use licence has been applied for in respect of the proposed Fuleni Coal Mine; if not, why not; if so, what (a) would be the source of this water and (b) volume has been applied for?
Reply:
The applicant has not applied for a Water Use Licence. Water Use Licensing is a demand driven service which is initiated by the prospective applicant.
My Department does not have a Water Use Licence Application for Fuleni Coal Mine, hence it will not be able to determine the source and the volume of water required for the proposed mine.
