5. Your Expectations? Mark Zunkel, uMoya-Nilu

6. Our Expectations Mark Zunkel, uMoya-Nilu Through active and constructive participation, we : Leave with a better understanding of air quality Have a better understanding of how the AQMP will be developed and everyone’s roles Have a better understanding of what the AQMP for Eastern Cape should try to achieve Learn more about air quality concerns and issues in the Eastern Cape Learn more about the different stakeholders

7. Introduction to Air Quality Management Plans Mark Zunckel & Sarisha Perumal

8. What is an AQMP? It is a strategic document that assists the implementing organisation to plan and implement activities to achieve air quality objectives in a structured and measured manner. It is system-based It can be applied at different spatial scales It is driven by air quality objectives It implies management of activities that impact on air quality It implies measuring progress towards reaching objectives

9. The South African context The National Framework for Air Quality Management (2007, revised in 2012) and the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Act 39 of 2004) provides the National AQMP to give effect to Section 24 of the Bill of Rights

10. Section 24: Environment Everyone has the right to: a)To an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being; and b)To have the environment protected, for the benefit of the present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures

11. AQMP: The legal imperative Section 15 of the NEM:AQA requires:  Province’s responsible for preparing EIP or EMP in terms of NEMA to include an AQMP  Municipalities develop an AQMP as part of their Integrated Development Plans –NMBM developed an AQMP with implementation since its adoption in 2010; –BCM developed an AQMP with implementation following its adoption in 2012; –ADM currently developing and AQMP

12. What should an AQMP contain? An AQMP must seek to give effect to Chapter 3 of the NEM:AQA, in other words: identify and reduce the negative impact or air pollution on human health and the environment address the effects of emissions from fossil fuel use in residential areas, industrial sources, other sources implement international obligations give effect to best practice in air quality management describe how AQMP implementation will be effected and measured

13. AQMP at a glance

14. AQMP process (1) Stage 1: Establish stakeholder database and baseline air quality  Stakeholders: Government, polluters, planners, business, NGOs  Understanding of current status of air quality: Sources of pollution, ambient air quality, capacity for air quality management function Stage 2: Gap and issue analysis  Based on findings of baseline, legislation and public participation

15. AQMP process (2) Stage 3: Develop vision, mission and goals  Guided by policy  Stakeholder input Stage 4: AQMP development  Develop an intervention plan to achieve overall objective the  Develop strategies to realise the goals, i.e.  Turn strategies into objectives that are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, & Time based)  Define the What, How, Who, When for each objective progress  Include AQMP in IDP and business planning  Internal review of implementation plan with those involved

16. AQMP process (3) Stage 5: Implementation of interventions  Implement short term objectives with existing resources (personnel, equipment, budget)  Plan to implement medium and long term objectives through IDP and business plans Stage 6: On-going review of implementation Monitoring:Routine review of implementation Evaluation:Annual review of AQMP success Review: 5-yearly re-assess AQMP

17. Scope of the EC AQMP project The overall objective is to develop an AQMP for the Eastern Cape Province to provide Provincial Authorities with a road map on how to manage air quality in the short to medium term. The approach to developing the AQMP consists of eight defined and related tasks

18. Project team NameExpertise and Role Dr Mark Zunckel Status quo assessment, modelling assessment, government resources, roles and responsibilities, AQMP development Benton Pillay Emission assessment, air quality monitoring assessment, AQMP development Sindisiwe MasheleEmission assessment Bheki ShongweAir quality monitoring assessment Sarisha Perumal Status quo assessment, government resources, roles and responsibilities Sandy Wren Facilitation of the public participation process Wandile Junundu Facilitation of the public participation process

19. 8 Related Tasks (A-D) Task A: Develop a status quo assessment in order to provide up-to-date information on air quality Task B: Assess, analyse and recommend on the relevant air quality emissions inventory Task C: Assess, analyse and recommend on the relevant air quality monitoring network Task D: Assess, analyse and recommend on the existing air quality modelling activities in the area

20. 8 Related Tasks (E-H) Task E: Assess, analyse and recommend on the relevant government resources to carry out the air quality mandate Task F: Review, analyse responsibilities on the duties, functions and responsibilities of Province Task G: Conduct Public Participation with all interested and affected parties Task H: Develop an AQMP to address the air quality challenges in the province
