2. Clause 3 inserts a new section 22A in the Act, to provide for the consequences of unlawfully conducting a listed air emission activity without the necessary authorisation. This clause will address three scenarios, namely, to provide for those activities related to air quality emissions: where atmospheric emissions take place without an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which must be addressed through section 24G of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (NEMA); where those activities operated without the necessary air quality licence under the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act, 1965 (APPA) which must be addressed through section 22A; and where those activities operated had an EIA environmental authorisation granted but no air quality licence was issued, which must be addressed through section 22A. This clause, which emulates section 24G of the NEMA, sets out the process and the information required for such an application. The clause also provides the licensing authority with various options when considering such an application. The clause also provides for the payment of an administrative fine not exceeding five million rand before the processing of the application. Furthermore, the submission of such an application does not indemnify the person from criminal prosecution.
