240102002645 - Renewal of the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the Continued Operation of the Existing SF Motors Service Station, Grootfontein, Otjozondjupa Region

ENGEN Namibia (Pty) Ltd is a leading marketer of liquid fuels and lubricants in the country. The company has invested in a number of retail fuel facilities across the length and breadth of the country. These facilities ensure self-sufficiency to ENGEN in terms of the supply of its products to its entire customer base, thus augmenting its supply chain. One such site is SF Motors Service Station. The service station is located at the corner of Dr Ngarikutuke Tjiriange Street and the B8 national Road in Grootfontein, Otjozondjupa Region. The site is found at coordinates Lat: -19.566463°, Long: 18.101030°. In terms of the Environmental Management Act 7 of 2007 (Government Notice No. 29), certain activities may not be undertaken without an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC). This activity is included in the above-mentioned list. It is against this background that an ECC was applied for and obtained for this facility. The ECC is valid for a period of three (3) years and has since expired. Engen has thus appointed Environam Consultants Trading (ECT) to apply for the renewal of the ECC on its behalf.
