1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
Engen has appointed WSP Environmental (Pty) Ltd (WSP), as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP), to
manage the Basic Assessment process for the Zenex Blend Plant (ZBP) decommissioning environmental
authorisation application to the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic development, Tourism & Environmental
Affairs (EDTEA).
In terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998, as amended) (NEMA) and the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations promulgated in Government Notice (GNR) 326 of 7 April
2017, a Basic Assessment (BA) process is required for the decommissioning and removal of facilities previously
used for storing dangerous goods.
Stakeholder engagement is a fundamental part of the BA process and aims to include potential Interested and
Affected Parties (I&APs) in the process by notifying them of the proposed project. The objectives of the stakeholder
engagement process are to:
— Ensure an open and transparent BA and consultation process;
— Enable stakeholders to register their interest and provide input into the BA process and share information; and
— Ensure that all relevant issues are addressed as part of the BA process.
The stakeholder engagement process is being undertaken in accordance with the EIA Regulations. The process aims
to ensure that potential stakeholders are identified and provided with an opportunity to review the details of the
proposed project and to submit any issues and concerns.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
PROCESS

considered in the environmental authorisation process for the project;
— Ensure that stakeholders have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards decision making by
the competent authority, and
— Compile a Comment and Response Report (CRR) of all issues, concerns and questions raised during the
stakeholder engagement process.
