MANGANESE EXPORT : Transnet using legal loophole

The arrival of the manganese rush in East London has sparked fears of hazardous dust pollution and run-off into the environment.While Transnet has worked hard to minimise the concerns, an environmental lawyer has suggested the state corporation is using a loophole in the SA Air Quality Act to avoid having to apply for an atmospheric emission licence (AEL) to conduct a listed activity, which would mean conducting an environmental impact assessment.
