The assessment and monitoring of benthic macro-invertebrate communities form an integral part of the monitoring of the health of an aquatic ecosystem. Macro-invertebrate assemblages (SASS 5) are good indicators of localised conditions because many benthic macro-invertebrates have limited migration patterns or sessile lifestyles. The analysis of macro-invertebrate communities is well-suited for assessing site-specific impacts, this is done by comparing upstream and downstream studies. Benthic macro-invertebrate assemblages are made up of species that constitute a broad range of trophic levels and pollution tolerances, thus providing good supportive evidence for interpreting cumulative effects (Barbour et al. 1999).<\/p>\n
The ecological integrity (Ecosystem Health) of a resource is considered an essential part of the water resources, which must be managed. Included in the definition of an Ecosystem Health\u201d is:
\u201cThe physical and structural aquatic habitats (both in stream and riparian), the water, the biota and the physical, chemical and ecological; processes that link habitat and biota.\u201d (Jooste, et al., 2000).<\/p>\n

The purpose of a Surface Water Assessment is to define the water resources in its associated drainage area and to identify potential sources of contamination. The Surface Water Assessment also aims to characterise the existing surface water environment (Quality and calculated catchment yield) for it to be used as a benchmark against future surface hydrological impacts could be measured. Surface Water studies also include an in-depth impact assessment.<\/p>\n

Wetlands are delineated based on scientifically sound methods, and utilizes a tool from the Department of Water and Sanitation \u2018A practical field procedure for identification and delineation of wetlands and riparian areas\u2019 (DWAF, 2005) as well as the \u201cUpdated manual for identification and delineation of wetlands and riparian areas\u201d (DWAF, 2008). These include:<\/p>\n
Ground Truthing
Wetlands are identified based on one or more of the following characteristic attributes (DWAF, 2005)
The Terrain Unit Indicator helps to identify those parts of the landscape where wetlands are more likely to occur.
presence of plants adapted to or tolerant of saturated soils (hydrophytes);
Wetland (hydromorphic) soils that display characteristics resulting from prolonged saturation; and
A high-water table that results in saturation at or near the surface, leading to anaerobic conditions developing within 50 cm of the soil surface<\/p>\n
The Terrain Unit Indicator
The terrain unit indicator is an important guide for identifying the parts of the landscape where wetlands might possibly occur. Some wetlands occur on slopes higher up in the catchment where groundwater discharge is taking place through seeps. An area with soil wetness and\/or vegetation indicators, but not displaying any of the topographical indicators should therefore not be excluded from being classified as a wetland. The type of wetland which occurs on a specific topographical area in the landscape is described using the Hydrogeomorphic classification which separates wetlands into \u2018HGM\u2019 units. The classification of Ollis, et al. (2013) is used, where wetlands are classified on Level 4 as either Rivers, Floodplain wetlands, Valley-bottom wetlands, Depressions, Seeps, or Flats.<\/p>\n

Rehabilitation Plans are compiled for mining operations, construction developments and agricultural developments. We compile rehabilitation plans to ensure that the site is rehabilitated according to all applicable standards for closure. However, we aim to establish a programme that will ensure the set rehabilitation goals will be achieved, while also ensuring that the operations remain economically viable.
South African mining and associated legislation and policy places ultimate responsibility for mitigating environmental and social damage as a result of mining operations on mining companies themselves. The liability exists throughout the different phases of the mine, from commencement, during operations, post operations and mine closure. This includes compulsory legislative commitments for remediation and\/or rehabilitation and ultimate close out.<\/p>\n
