Enviroserv - Application for the extension of the validity of the Waste Management Licence for Chloorkop Landfill Site, Chloorkop, Gauteng.

EnviroServ Waste Management (Pty) Ltd (EnviroServ) owns and operates the Chloorkop Landfill Site (CLS). The CLS is operated in terms of a waste management licence (WML) (Gaut: 002/19-20/W0009). General wastes are received from the City of Johannesburg and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality area. The CLS is located in Chloorkop, Midrand in Gauteng. The site is accessed from Marsala Road. Refer to Figure 1 on the BID for the local setting of the Project.

EnviroServ was authorised in June 2021 to expand the CLS onto Erf 335, Chloorkop Extension 6, in order to provide additional airspace for ongoing general waste disposal. The WML for this expansion is only valid for 5 years and expires in June 2026.

Due to delays in construction and operation brough on by Covid-19, and considerable fluctuations in the volume of waste received, the full airspace capacity of the authorised expansion remains underutilised. Therefore, EnviroServ would like to apply to extend the validity of the WML for a further 3.5 years, to allow for the complete utilisation of the CLS’ approved Airspace.

SLR Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd (SLR), an independent firm of Environmental Assessment Practitioners, has been appointed by Enviroserv to manage the environmental authorisation processes.
