                     THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACT, 1998, WHEN APPLYING FOR
                                            ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION

I, Barbara Dallas Creecy, Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, hereby in terms of sections
               24(5)(a), (h) and 44 of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998, prescribe general
               requirements for undertaking site sensitivity verification and for protocols for the assessment and
               minimum report content requirements of environmental impacts for environmental themes for
               activities requiring environmental authorisation, as contained in the Schedule hereto. When the
                requirements of a protocol apply, the requirements of Appendix 6 of the Environmental Impact
               Assessment Regulations, as amended, (EIA Regulations), promulgated under sections 24(5) and 44 of
               the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), are replaced by these
               requirements.

Each protocol applies exclusively to the environmental theme identified within its scope. Multiple themes
                may apply to a single application for environmental authorisation, and assessments for these themes
               must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant protocol, or where no specific protocol has been
               prescribed, in accordance with the requirements of the EIA Regulations. These procedures and
               requirements will come into effect 50 days after the publication of this Notice.
