The Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has, under section 19(5) read with the Regulations promulgated in terms of section 20 of the NEMAQA, published the second-generation Highveld Priority Area (“HPA”) Air Quality Management Plan for implementation.
The development of the second-generation AQMP was commissioned by the Department during 2021. The Plan is aimed at establishing emission reduction targets, based on a better understanding of the impact on ambient air quality in the HPA due to various emission reductions (brought about by interventions), that will ensure further improvement and eventual compliance within the priority area.
