Another weakness within the programme is the lack of information (performance and financial) related to the progress made in the implementation of the various policies and legislation (e.g. National Strategy for Sustainable Development and NEM: Waste Management Act) that was promulgated in the financial year. The challenges experienced by respective provinces in achieving the indicators are also poorly reflected. Of particular interest is the processesing of 95 waste management sites, are all these sites approved with Environmental Management Plans and are they monitored annually? Is the data from the ambient air quality monitoring stations, being processed and utilized for decision making in the Climate Change Strategy? How is the department actually tackling disincentives for 'dirty' industries in implementing the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, e.g. granite mining industries should be charged an ecological surcharge for extracting natural resources for private use.
