Spinifex Crushing and Screening Services

360 Environmental Pty Ltd i

Executive Summary

Spinifex Crushing and Screening Services (SCS) is proposing to install and operate mobile

crushing and screening equipment to support operations at Mt Regal Mine on mining

tenement M47/1484. Mt Regal Mine is located approximately 15 km south west of

Karratha town site in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Accordingly, SCS are

applying for a Works Approval under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986.

This document has been prepared to support the Works Approval application together with

the SCS Environmental Management System (EMS). This information provides the

framework for managing environmental aspects associated with both the installation and

operational phase of the site to ensure environmental impacts are minimised.

A Works Approval for a separate prescribed premise at Mt Regal was lodged with the

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) on the 4 June 2019. This

first application was for a premise boundary across M47/1418 and M47/1484. It is

intended that Mt Regal will have two prescribed licences for Category 12.

This Works Approval application is required as the premises type is listed under the

Environmental Protection Regulations 1987 (EP Regulations). The mobile crushing and

screening activities proposed to support Mt Regal Mine will require a licence under

Schedule 1, Part 1:

• Category 12: Screening etc. of material: (other than premises within category

5 or 8) on which material extracted from the ground is screened, washed,

crushed, ground, milled, sized or separated.

The quarry is expected to have an annual throughput of 100,000 tonnes of commercial

resource. The equipment has a design capacity of 500,000 tonnes per annum and

depending on resource demand, the throughput could range from 10,000 to 500,000 in any

one given year.

The potential environmental impacts and emissions/ discharges associated with the

proposed works are as follows:

• Noise – generation of noise from site activities and the movement of equipment

and vehicles around the site

• Dust – generation of dust emissions during installation and operation

• Uncontrolled discharge of contaminants to land – the uncontrolled accidental

release of hydrocarbons to land

• Discharge of stormwater to surface and/or groundwater – runoff from the

proposed hard rock quarry as a result of heavy rainfall and/or normal

operations.

The overall environmental management objectives for the above aspects of the project

are:



360 Environmental Pty Ltd ii

• Noise – operations at the site will adhere to restricted hours. Crushing and

Screening activities will occur through campaigns on an as needs basis to serve

regional demands

• Dust – management of dust will be through dust suppression through water

truck

• Discharge of stormwater – strict management measures and practices to

minimise contaminated discharge.

A Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan have been developed for the quarrying

operations and will be submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and

Safety (DMIRS). A clearing permit has been granted for some areas across the site (CPS

6233/1). Areas not subject to the approved clearing permit will remain below the 10 ha

per year annual limit exemption under Regulation 5, Item 20 of the Environmental

Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004 (Clearing Regulations).

1.1 Proponent

Spinifex Crushing and Screening Services (SCS) is proposing to operate a hard rock

quarry at Mt Regal Mine on M47/1484 (‘the site’). The site is located approximately 15

km south-west of Karratha town site in the Pilbara region, Western Australia and is covers

approximately 144.2 ha (Figure 1). SCS are seeking approval for the installation and

operation of mobile crushing and screening equipment to support operations at Mt Regal

Mine. The site will require licensing to operate under Part V of the Environmental

Protection Act 1986 (EP Act).

The proponent is SCS and contact details are as follows:

1.2 Scope of Works Approval Application

The purpose of this document is to meet the requirements of the Department of Water

and Environmental Regulation (DWER) Application for Works Approval pursuant to Part V

of the EP Act and as a prescribed premise under Schedule 1 Part 1 of the EP Regulations.

The proposal is listed as a prescribed premise as follows:

• Category 12 – Screening etc. of materials premises (other than premises within

category 5 or 8) on which material extracted from the ground is screened,

washed, ground, milled, sized or separated.

Once the Works Approval is obtained and construction has been completed SCS is

required to submit a Compliance Report and apply for a Licence prior to operations

commencing.

System details the environmental management measure that will be undertaken

throughout installation and operation of mobile crushing and screening equipment at the

site to meet objectives of DWER.

mailto:[email protected]




1.3 Project Overview

SCS are proposing to operate Mt Regal Mine over mining tenement M47/1484 (the site).

Mt Regal is subject to an approved Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan (MP/MCP)

(Registration ID 52422) under the Mining Act 1978 which allows for quarrying, crushing

and screening in the southern portion of M47/1484 and for Pindan soil/shallow extraction

in the northern areas of the tenement. The approved MP/MCP does not cover the

proposed crushing and screening subject to this Works Approval application and therefore

a revised MP/MCP is being developed and will be submitted to DMIRS concurrent with

this Works Approval. The revised MP/MCP will also seek approval for the new quarrying

area on M47/1484.

This prescribed premises will include quarrying and stockpile areas within the proposed

premise boundary (Figure 2). The rock will be quarried using standard drill and blast

techniques, with the resulting quarry product crushed in a mobile crushing and screening

plant, to produce product according to commercial demand. It is anticipated that minimal

product will be stockpiled on site as the intent is to only produce significant quantities of

material as and when commercial demand requires. Explosives will be supplied by an

approved contractor on a daily basis and will not be stored on site. Due to the nature of

the operation being on a campaign basis and the use of mobile equipment, the location of

crushing and screening areas will change, but generally, will be within the stockpiling and

crushing area as shown in Figure 2.

The site is located along the North West Coastal Highway in the Pilbara region. The

premise boundary is proposed to be approximately 144 ha in size (Figure 2). The campaign

quarry at the site will be supported by mobile ablutions and site office. There will be no

accommodation on site, all personnel will be accommodated in Karratha.

A clearing permit (CPS 6233/1) has been granted over some parts of the site (Appendix

A). Areas not subject to the approved clearing permit will remain below the 10 ha per

annum exemption under Regulation 5, Item 20 of the Clearing Regulations.

1.4 Local Planning Context

The site is located within the City of Karratha Local Government Area (LGA). The site is

located outside of the structure plan boundaries for the Gap Ridge Industrial Areas and is

within a well-established mining area surrounded by other mining and exploration

tenements.

1.5 Description Overview

All crushing equipment and infrastructure at the site will be fully portable to facilitate

movement throughout the site to support staged quarrying operations (Figure 2). The

following equipment could be present at the site throughout operations:

• Light vehicles




• Excavator

• Service Truck

• Mobile crushing and screening plant

• Front end loader

• Tip Truck

• Site office

• Ablutions.

The commencement of operations is proposed in the second half of 2019 (subject to

obtaining all approvals). The estimated construction costs to mobilise the crushing and

screening equipment is $250,000 (Table 1).

Operating hours of Mt Regal Mine will be restricted to 6:00am – 6:00pm, Monday to

Sunday. Night operations are not anticipated. It should be noted that Mt Regal Mine will

operate on a campaign and as needs basis.

Quarry operating

hours

6:00am – 6:00pm Monday to Sunday. Campaign quarrying on an as

needs basis.

Inputs

Water Usage Water will be required for dust suppression at the site. SCS currently

hold GWL 174699 through Achilles Pty Ltd. The license is located on

M47/1418 and is allocated 50kL. It was issued on the 30/11/2011

and expires on the 29/11/2021.

Power All equipment will be ‘plug and play’ with self-bunded fuel tanks.

One generator is required to support quarrying.




2 Mobile Crushing and Screening

Equipment

SCS is seeking approval for the installation and operation of mobile crushing and screening

equipment to support activities at Mt Regal Mine. The typical SCS Crushing and Screening

process is illustrated below (Plate 1).

2.1 Installation

Due to the mobile nature of the crushing and screening equipment installation at the site

will be very simple. The ‘plug and play’ equipment does not require earthworks or

significant construction and therefore has a low risk of noise and dust generation during

this phase.

2.2 Crushing and Screening Process

The typical mobile crushing and screening process is depicted in Plate 1.

Metso ST458 300 106 Diesel (273 L) Double skinned tanks

Metso LT300HP 550 403 Diesel (1,200 L) Double skinned tanks

2.3 Water Management

Water will be abstracted from the current groundwater bore licensed to Achillies Pty Ltd

through DWER (174699) located on M47/1418 for dust suppression requirements.

Potable water will be trucked to site when the quarry is operational.

Bunds around crusher and stockpile areas will be maintained to prevent uncontrolled runoff

during periods of heavy rainfall. Water will be collected when required by a settling pond

and used for dust suppression as and when necessary. The settling pond will be located

the north east corner of the premise boundary, if required, and capture any runoff from the

crusher and stockpile area (Figure 6).

2.4 Buildings

There are no (and will be no) permanent buildings on site. A mobile workshop, mobile

office and amenities will be utilised. The mobile workshop will be adjacent to the

crushing/screening plant. All buildings and equipment will be located outside of the

modelled flooding areas whenever possible.

2.5 Waste Management

All waste products will be stored in appropriate rubbish bins (recycling, putrescible, and

hydrocarbons will be separated in lidded bins) and removed from site by a contractor at

regular intervals and disposed of at the licensed landfill facilities in the Karratha area (7

Mile Waste Facility). There will be no landfill on site.

Portable chemical toilets will be used at the workshop/ plant area. Effluent from the

portable toilets will be removed from the site as required by a licensed operator for

licensed disposal (likely to be at the Karratha 7 Mile Waste Facility).

2.6 Power

One mobile 25 kva diesel generator will be present at site to support quarrying activities.

A service truck will be present on site for re-fuelling, when it is not in use it will be located




on a hardstand area within the adjacent tenement M47/1418. All fuel tanks will be double

skinned to reduce the risk of uncontrolled release.

2.6.1 Service Truck Specifications

The service truck will be sourced through ORH Truck Solutions located in Hazelmere,

Western Australia. The specifications for the service truck are provided below:

• Grease – set up for both high pressure and bulk grease tank

• All pumps air operated

• All hose reels to be located in an enclosed bunded cabinet on RHF corner

module

• Hose reel section sealed by lockable door

• Module to have suitable work lights fitted for servicing at night

• All combination lights (Stop/tail and indicator) and clearance lights to be LED

type

• Two amber flashing lights one at rear of tank and one on top of cabin

• Lock safe battery isolator to be fitted to truck

• All labels and signs to be supplied for tank identification

• Emergency stop on truck and compress

• 2x 9 fire extinguishers to be fitted on module.




3 Regulatory Context

3.1 Legislation

3.1.1 Part V Environmental Protection Act 1986, Environmental

Management

Listed as a prescribed premise under Schedule 4 – Part 1 of the EP Regulations, the

activity has the potential to generate noise and dust emissions that may impact nearby

receptors. Part V of the Act covers the control of pollution. According to Schedule 4 of

the EP Regulations, the proposal requires a Works Approval and Licence prior to the

commencement of operations.

3.1.2 Mining Act 1978

SCS have an approved Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan for quarrying operations

at the site (REG ID 52422). However, it does not cover the proposed activities subject to

this works approval and therefore a revised MP and MCP will be lodged concurrently with

this works approval.

3.1.3 Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation)

Regulations 2004

In 2004, amendments to the EP Act introduced provisions for regulating the clearing of

native vegetation. If it is intended for native vegetation to be cleared, a permit needs to

be obtained. In this case, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

(DMIRS) is responsible for the approval since the tenure is a mining tenement.

Exempt clearing does not require a permit and there are two types of exemptions. The

first type is found in Schedule 6 of the EP Act. The second type is found in the Clearing

Regulations and is applicable to Mt Regal. The exemptions under Regulations do not apply

in environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) declared under section 51B of the EP Act nor

under Schedule 1 non-permitted areas. Mt Regal does not occur in either of these areas

and therefore an exemption will be used (Regulation 5, Item 20).

3.2 Responsible Authorities

The agencies involved in the environmental assessment and management of Mt Regal

Mine include DWER, DMIRS and the City of Karratha.

3.2.1 Department of Water and Environmental Regulation

DWER is responsible for native vegetation clearing permits, works approvals and licensing

and registration of prescribed premises under Part V of the EP Act.

SCS is submitting this Supporting Document with the Works Approval Application to

initiate licencing requirements for Mt Regal Mine.




3.2.2 Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

DMIRS is responsible for assessing the revised Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan

for Mt Regal and has approved Clearing Permit (6233/1).

3.2.3 City of Karratha

The site is located within the City of Karratha Local Government Area (LGA). No further

approvals are required by the City of Karratha to support the project. SCS will engage

with the City prior to commencing operations.




4 Existing Environment

4.1 Climate

The site is located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Pilbara has an arid

tropical climate with two distinct seasons, a hot and wet summer from October to April

and a mild winter from May to September. Cyclonic activity is significant, with several

systems affecting the coast and hinterland annually (JDA Consultant Hydrologists, 2012).

The closest Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) weather station is at Karratha Aero (004083)

located approximately 10 km from the site. The average annual rainfall recorded at

Karratha Aero was 296.7 mm over the recording period from 1971 to 2019.

Average temperatures fluctuate between an average minimum of 26.7°C and maximum of

35.6°C in Summer, and an average minimum of 13.8°C and 26.3°C in winter (Graph 1).

Graph 1: Mean Rainfall and Temperature for Karratha Aero (Station Number: 004083) from 1971 to 2019

In semi-desert-tropical areas the highest evaporation rates occur during high temperature

days, with evaporation falling during the wet season. Annual Pan Evaporation within the

region is between 3,200 – 3,600 mm (Bureau of Meteorology, 2018).

Wind rose data (Plate 2 and Plate 3) indicate that wind as measured at Karratha Aero is

predominately in an easterly direction in the morning and north easterly in the afternoon.

4.2 Landscape

The site lies within the Pilbara Bioregion and Roebourne subregion (PIL4). The Roebourne

subregion is described as quaternary alluvial and older colluvial coastal and sub-coastal

plains with grass savannah of mixed bunch and hummock grasses, and dwarf shrub steppe

of Acacia stellaticeps or A. pyrifolia and A. inaequilatera. Uplands are dominated by Triodia

hummock grasslands. Ephemeral drainage lines support Eucalyptus victrix or Corymbia

hamersleyana woodlands. Samphire, Sporobolus and Mangal occur on marine alluvial flats

and river deltas. Resistant linear ranges of basalts occur across the coastal plains, with

minor exposure of granite (Kendrick and Stanley, 2001).

The site lies within four mapped soil-landscape units (Department of Agriculture and Food

WA, 2012):




• Boolgeeda System (281Bg): Stony lower slopes and plains below hill systems

supporting hard and soft spinifex grasslands or mulga shrublands

• Horseflat System (281Hf): Gilgaised clay plains supporting Roebourne Plains

grass grasslands and minor grassy snakewood shrublands

• Rocklea System (381Rk): Basalt hills, plateaux, lower slopes and minor stony

plains supporting hard spinifex and occasionally soft spinifex grasslands with

scattered shrubs

• Ruth System (281Rt): Hills and ridges of volcanic and other rocks supporting

shrubby hard spinifex and occasionally soft spinifex grasslands.

The site lies predominately in the Rocklea System.

4.3 Hydrology and Hydrogeology

4.3.1 Surface Water

The operation is located within the Indian Ocean Surface Water Division, and the Port

Hedland Coastal Basin. The Coastal sub catchment covers an area of 7,443 km2. Water

drains towards to the coast via several ephemeral drainage lines. There are no lakes, rivers

or significant water bodies within the site (Department of Water and Environmental

Regulation, 2016) (Figure 3).

360 Environmental was commissioned by SCS to conduct a Desktop Water Review around

the proposed prescribed premises subject to this Works Approval (Appendix B; 360

Environmental Pty Ltd, 2019). The purpose of the review was to inform closure planning

for the site, as well as operational issues around surface water. Hydrological catchment

analysis and 2D hydraulic modelling was completed over the Modelled Area shown in

Figure 3. Results of the model indicate that a small part of the premise boundary may be

liable to flooding during a 1 in 100-year event (Figure 3). Flood flows are expected to

travel in a north east direction across the site, with maximum flood depths up to 0.5 m

(360 Environmental Pty Ltd, 2019).

The premise boundary is in the upper part of the catchment, flooding is not anticipated to

be a significant issue for operations, especially as the site will not operate 365 days per

year. The quarry, stockpile and crushing areas have been placed, where possible, outside

of the flooding zone area. Additionally, the equipment on site will be mobile, the site (and

equipment) can be managed to remove risks to the equipment and downstream

environment during cyclonic rainfall events.

Surface water management will be managed as per Figure 6, where natural water flow will

be captured at a V shaped bund in the north eastern corner of the site. A settling pond

will be created at the V shaped bund where porous rock gabion will be placed in the pond

to allow sediment to filter out and slow down water flow before leaving the site.




4.3.2 Groundwater

The project occurs within the Pilbara Groundwater area. Any taking or use of water from

this groundwater area requires a licence from the Department of Water. A 5C licence to

take water was been obtained from the (then) Department of Water in 2013 at M47/1418

(GWL174699). This annual entitlement of up to 50 kL per annum of water for dust

suppression is sufficient to encompass proposed operations at the site. Water for dust

suppression at the site subject to this Works Approval will be carted from the bore at

M47/1418.

Quarrying operations will not intercept groundwater.

There are no Public Drinking Water Source Areas (PDSWA) within proximity to the Project

(Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, 2019). The nearest PDSWA is the

Harding River, which is approximately 36 km south east of the site.

4.4 Acid Generating Potential

The materials to be quarried are chemically inert and do not contain any significant

quantities of sulphides or other soluble materials. Further, there is unlikely to be any Acid

Mine Drainage (AMD) or Potentially Acid Forming (PAF) materials due to the nature of

the materials being mined. It is not anticipated that mining will occur below the water

table, negating the exposure of any unforeseen PAF materials.

4.5 Topography

The topography of the site ranges from 31 to 132 m Australian Height Datum (AHD) and

slopes downwards towards the north east corner of the Premise Boundary.

4.6 Environmentally Sensitive Areas

The site is not mapped within any Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), with the

nearest located approximately 40 km north of the study area, on the Burrup Peninsula

(Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, 2018).

4.7 Flora, Vegetation and Fauna

360 Environmental was commissioned by SCS in May 2014 to undertake a Level 2 Flora

and Vegetation assessment and a four-day Level 1 Fauna Assessment within M47/1484

(‘the survey area’) (Appendix C).

4.7.1 Flora

A total of 144 taxa from 87 genera and 38 families were recorded within the survey area

(360 Environmental Pty Ltd, 2014a). The commonly occurring families were Fabaceae (32

taxa), Poaceae (19) and Malvaceae (16 taxa). No threatened species listed under the

EPBC Act and/or gazetted as DRF under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act)

[recently replaced by the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016] were recorded within the




survey area. One priority 3 species, Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) was

recorded within the survey area (Figure 4a).

A review of the DBCA Nature Map and DEE PMST database searched no threatened or

EPBC listed flora species have been recorded within a 5 km radius of the site.

4.7.2 Vegetation Condition

The vegetation condition at the site was considered to be Very Good to Excellent

(Figure 4a) with the vegetation structure intact (360 Environmental Pty Ltd, 2014a).

Generally, the hills were considered to be in Excellent condition with few to no disturbances

while the plains and drainage lines were considered to be in Very Good to Good condition

with disturbances including tracks, motorbike trails, rubbish and weed species (360

Environmental Pty Ltd, 2014a).

4.7.3 Fauna

Four habitat types, hill crest and slope, minor drainage, stony plain and loam/sand plan

were present in the Project area (Figure 4b). This habitat was in Poor to Pristine condition,

with only limited disturbance being observed. This habitat is also widespread in the region,

consequently, if small areas of the mining tenement (846 ha) are to be cleared, impacts to

fauna habitat will be minimal from a regional perspective (360 Environmental Pty Ltd,

2014a).

4.7.4 Conservation Significant Fauna

During the four-day assessment two species of conservation significance were directly

observed (Figure 4b). One Rainbow Bee-eater (Merops ornatus) was observed and a

number of Northern Quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) were recorded using two camera traps

over three consecutive nights (360 Environmental Pty Ltd, 2014a).

No signs such as burrows, diggings, tracks and scats of conservation significant species

were observed.

As of January 2018, the Rainbow Bee-eater is listed as a marine species and no longer

listed as a migratory species under the EPBC Act. Impacts to marine listed species such

as the Rainbow Bee-eater are not considered significant as there is no marine habitat

occurring within the survey area.

Northern Quoll is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act, a further targeted survey was

commissioned in July 2014.

4.7.5 Northern Quoll Study

SCS commissioned 360 Environmental to undertake a targeted Northern Quoll

assessment in the survey area (360 Environmental Pty Ltd, 2014b). The primary objective

of the survey was to get a better understanding of their distribution and relative abundance

across the project area; so that an assessment of potential impacts could be undertaken.




During the trapping programme two male Northern Quolls were captured in cage traps

and on motion camera at three separate locations during the survey. Northern Quoll scats

were collected at three locations during the survey at the project site. The habitats of the

project area are in very good condition with no physical disturbance recorded at all five

trapping transects. The site was considered highly unlikely to contain any denning habitat

but could potentially be used as foraging habitat. As only 13.6 ha out of 448 ha of potential

foraging habitat area is proposed to be removed, a significant impact is not likely. To

minimise impact on Site, only areas absolutely necessary will be cleared and vehicles will

adhere to speed limits and designated tracks.

4.8 Heritage

A search of the Department of Environment and Energy (DEE)’s Protected Matters Search

Tool determined that the site is not located within or within a 5 km radius of any National

or World Heritage Sites (Department of the Environment and Energy, 2019). One stored

data place (32,691) is located within the site - Maari Jaardi for a mythological ceremonial

site.

The project area is located within the Ngarluma/Yindjibarndi native title claimant area

which is represented by the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation (NAC). The site is also

subject to a Native Title and Heritage Agreement between the NAC and Achilles Pty Ltd

(a subsidiary of SCS).




5 Sensitive Receptors

The EPA’s (2005) Guidance for the Assessment of Environmental Factors – Separation

Distances between Industrial and Sensitive Land Uses recommends a minimum separation

distance of 1,000 m between extractive industries – Quarrying (including blasting) crushing

and screening and sensitive receptors. There are no sensitive receptors within 1,000 m of

the site.

5.1.1 Human Receptors

There are three sensitive receptors located within 5 km of the site (Figure 5):

• Stayover at Ausco - serviced accommodation for mining and resource workers

in the Karratha region, located approximately 2 km to the east of the site

• The MAC Village Karratha – serviced accommodation for mining and resource

workers in the Karratha region, located approximately 5 km to the north-east

of the site

• Bayton – a residential suburb located approximately 5 km north-west of the

site.

The site will be operational on an as needs basis throughout campaign quarrying

operations. When operational the site will adhere to restricted hours of 6:00am – 6:00pm

Mondays to Sundays. No night operations are anticipated.

5.1.2 Natural Receptors

Dust emissions generated by the facility have the potential to impact on the environmental

values of the surrounding area. However, the minimal amount of clearing and quarrying

and therefore dust generation, dust is not likely to have a significant impact on surrounding

vegetation. Additionally, dust management and mitigation measures are proposed (as

outlined in Section 6.2). These will further reduce the risk of dust emissions associated

with operations at the site.




6 Environmental Impacts and Management

The following factors are considered to represent the potential environmental and amenity

impacts associated with the proposal:

• Noise

• Dust

• Weeds

• Stormwater discharge

• Uncontrolled discharge of contaminants to land.

These environmental factors are discussed in more detail below, together with the

proposed management actions.

SCS conducted a risk assessment as part of the development of their Environmental

Management System in accordance with ISO 31000 Risk Management Standards with

identified risks/ hazards detailed in a risk register. This risk register enables the

identification of significant environmental aspects for the site and subsequent

identification of controls to mitigate those risks.

6.1 Noise

Operations at the site have the potential to generate noise including:

• Drilling and blasting

• Crushing and screening rock

• Excavation and equipment use

• Vehicle movement.

SCS will manage noise emissions at the site in accordance with the Environmental (Noise)

Regulations 1997 and the Mine Safety and Inspection Regulations 1995.

6.1.1 Potential Impact

Movement and operation of mobile crushing and screening equipment at the site may

contribute to added noise within the area.

6.1.2 Management

Key management strategies include:

• Vehicles and equipment to be fitted with appropriate noise control and

routinely maintained

• All workers to wear appropriate PPE (including ear protection, as required)




• All plant and equipment will be regularly monitored and maintained Engine

tampering to increase power output will be prohibited

• Operating hours are restricted between the hours of 6:00am – 6:00pm Monday

to Sundays. No night operations are anticipated

• A complaints register will be kept and reported in the AER.

6.2 Dust

Wind rose information from the nearest BoM weather station indicates the predominant

wind direction is from the east in the morning and the north east in the afternoon (Plates

2 and 3). Prevailing wind conditions have the potential to mobilise any dust generated from

mobile equipment and facilities at the site.

Average annual wind speeds of 19.5 km/h in the morning and 25.6 km/h in the afternoon

(Bureau of Meteorology, 2019).


Potential dust emissions may impact the environmental values of the surrounding

landscape. It is not anticipated significant dust will be generated from Mt Regal Mine as it

will not operate all year round. Additionally, the mobile crushing/screening plant will be

placed on existing cleared areas and thus minimising clearing.

6.2.2 Management

Crushing and screening operations will be planned and undertaken to minimise dust

including:

• Dust suppression via water truck as necessary and optional use of a benign

dust suppressant on disturbed surfaces

• Site visual inspection of dust and positive communication with operators to

ensure safe activities

• Check weather forecasts – hot dry weather and high winds increase the risk of

dust generation

• Reschedule dust generating activities on windy days

• Trucks are to be washed down before leaving the premises to stop the spread

of dust offsite.




6.3 Uncontrolled Discharge of Contaminants to

Land


Incorrect storage and use of hydrocarbons and chemicals may impact on soils within the

area.

6.3.2 Management

• All staff involved in handling of hazardous chemicals and fuels will be suitably

trained

• The proximity of the project to Karratha makes it unnecessary to store any

hydrocarbons on site, fuel will be trucked in by a refuelling/service truck

• All hydrocarbon storage will be in accordance with DWER guidelines and

Standards for storage and according to the MSDS for each product. Any

hazardous materials will be contained in bunds. All storage will be in

accordance with the Australian Standards AS1940 and AS1692

• Waste oils will be removed from vehicles by an E-vac system and stored on the

service truck. All used hydrocarbons will be dispensed from the fuel truck at

the licensed facility offsite (Karratha 7 Mile Waste Facility)

• Any hazardous chemicals and flammable and combustible liquids will be stored

in accordance with legislative requirements and Australian Standards

AS1940:2004-The storage and handling of Flammable and Combustible

liquids

• Scheduled maintenance and servicing of equipment and vehicles to be

conducted off site as per manufacturer’s instructions

• Appropriate spill kits, including containment and recovery equipment, personal

protective equipment and relevant operator instructions/emergency procedure

guides for the management of wastes and chemicals associated with the

activities will be kept and maintained on site

• Spill kits will be strategically located throughout the facility

• Appropriate spill response equipment for hazardous materials will be identified

and readily accessible in areas where hazardous materials are stored

• Portable chemical toilets will be used at the workshop/ plant area. Effluent

from the portable toilets will be removed from the site as required by a Licensed

Operator for licensed disposal

• All waste products will be stored in appropriate rubbish bins (recycling,

putrescible and hydrocarbon waste will be placed in separate bins), removed




from site by a contractor at regular intervals and disposed of at the licensed

landfill facilities in the Karratha area (7 Mile Waste Facility)

• Portable chemical toilets will be used at the workshop/ plant area. Effluent

from the portable toilets will be removed from the site as required by a Licensed

Operator for licensed disposal.

6.4 Discharge of Stormwater to Surface and/or

Groundwater


Runoff from dust suppression activities has the potential to cause impacts to surface and

groundwater resources if not managed correctly. This could include impacts to

watercourses.

6.4.2 Management

• Additional waste reduction measures will be encouraged on-site including:

o Employee waste awareness

o Recycling

• Turbidity will be controlled by ensuring stormwater runoff is not directed

towards or over areas of cleared vegetation, where possible. Uncontaminated

stormwater will be directed toward well-vegetated, landscaped areas

• Excavation is not anticipated to intercept groundwater.

6.5 Erosion


Runoff from dust suppression activities and increased clearing for operational processes

may have the potential to cause soil erosion.

6.5.2 Management

• Detailed engineering design specifications within the extraction areas include

slopes, drainage design and surface water will consider erosion rates

• Revegetation and clearing will be undertaken progressively to reduce potential

erosion

• Potential erosion areas will be subject to ongoing monitoring.

6.6 Bushfire

The site is located within a City of Karratha and Department of Fire and Emergency

Services (DFES) Bushfire Prone Area (2018).





Operations at the site have the potential to exacerbate a bushfire that has originated

outside of the site and the ability to ignite one at the site.

6.6.2 Management

SCS will manage the risk of fire through:

• Fire extinguishers available in all vehicle and machinery

• Employee inductions to include emergency muster points

• Fire extinguishers will be kept at site and maintained during quarrying

campaigns

• Equipment will be kept off site when the quarry is not operational

• Maintenance of emergency equipment will be managed through weekly

environment & safety inspection checklist while the quarry is operational.

6.7 Cyclones and Flood Risk


The cyclone season in Karratha is from 1 November through to 30 April and the site may

be prone to damaging winds and inundation from flooding.

6.7.2 Management

During the cyclone season, the site manager will monitor the DFES and BoM websites for

cyclone warnings daily. During the cyclone season a 7-day outlook is issued daily by BoM

and indicates the risk of tropical cyclone activity in the region with ratings from low to high.

All buildings and facilities will be designed and engineered in accordance with Australian

standards for cyclone ratings.

In the event of a cyclone developing in the Pilbara region, the following will be

implemented:

• Cyclone tie down activities to commence

• All personnel evacuate from the site

• Once the cyclone has passed a damage assessment is undertaken and

recovery can commence

• Once deemed safe, operations can resume.

A Desktop Water Review was undertaken to estimate the flood prone areas. The locations

of operations will be placed out of these areas wherever possible. Bunds and settling

ponds will also be constructed where necessary (Figures 3 and 6).




7 Implementation Strategy

7.1 Communication, Competency, Training and

Awareness

All employees, contractors and labour hire personnel will undertake a site induction prior

to being authorised to commence work. The site induction environmental content will cover

SCS’s Environmental Management System as well as the various environmental aspects,

impacts and controls, emergency response, reporting and legislation relevant to the

inductee and their work. The site induction will involve an onsite orientation that includes

location of chemical spill kits, muster points, waste receptacles. Induction records will be

kept.

7.1.1 Internal Communication

Communications of environmental issues will be undertaken through:

• SCS’s Environmental Management System:

o Environmental Policy

o Weekly Environmental & Safety Inspection Checklist

o Environmental Incident & Hazard Report Form

o Environment Management Review Form (review conducted every 3

years).

• HSE notice boards displaying:

o Incident alerts

o Environmental Risk Registers

• Emergency contact numbers.

7.1.2 External Communication

It is anticipated that works carried out at the site will have a negligible negative impact on

the local community. A complaints register will be maintained to monitor any community

complaints regarding the premise and its operations.

In the event that circumstances change so the local community is adversely impacted,

communication and consultation measures will be undertaken. This will include recording

of the complaint, follow up with the party that lodged the complaint and reporting of how

the complaint was addressed or resolved.




7.2 Reporting

SCS will maintain a register of all incidents and complaints. All incidents will be recorded

within 24 hours of the incident occurring, where resources are available. Incidents will be

reported to external parties and regulators as required.

Annual Environmental Reporting (AER) will be submitted to DMIRS/ DWER which will

include complaints register, disturbance areas, waste disposal and production outputs.

A compliance report detailing the ‘as built’ quarry and compliance with any works approval

conditions will be submitted to DWER.




8 Contingency and Incident Response

8.1 Air Quality – Noise

In the event of a noise related complaint from external stakeholders, SCS will:

• Notify the supervisor immediately but no later than 2 hours of receiving the

complaint

• Check the nature of the activities being conducted

• Note and record the weather conditions including wind direction and strength

• Investigate sources of noise and identify all practical measure to reduce noise

• Cease or reduce noisy or vibration generating activities where practically

possible and

• Undertake any other possible corrective actions immediately.

8.2 Air Quality – Dust

Where the type of activity or weather conditions is likely to cause increased risk of dust

and where dust is reasonably expected to or has caused nuisance to sensitive receptors

SCS will:

• Install a sprinkler system on the crusher or screener to minimise dust emissions

• Implement additional dust mitigation measures – applying water

• Reschedule dust generating activities to avoid adverse weather conditions

• Restrict speed limits on site

• Communicate dust risk and mitigation measures to staff prior to commencing

work

• Monitor BoM website.

8.3 Surface Water Runoff

The following section outlines the management response for stormwater across the

premises:

• If a discharge of waste occurs that has or may cause pollution of material or

serious environmental harm to nearby water bodies; or occur as a result of an

emergency accident or malfunction, or otherwise than in accordance with the

works approval the DWER will be notified immediately

• Site staff and contractors will be made aware of practices to minimise

contaminant loss (hydrocarbons from vehicles, machinery or equipment)

through stormwater management systems




• Site operators and designated staff will be trained in spill response and

emergency management.

8.4 Hazardous Materials

• Appropriate spill kits, including MSDSs, containment and recovery equipment,

personal protective equipment and relevant operator instructions/ emergency

procedure guides to be kept on site. These controls guide the management of

wastes and chemicals associated with site activities and will be maintained

regularly

• Inductions and training will include hazardous materials and operation of the

relevant equipment

• Spill kits will be strategically located throughout the facility

• Appropriate spill response equipment for hazardous materials will be identified

and readily accessible in areas where hazardous materials are stored

• If any spill cannot be safely responded to with site resources, the incident or

Emergency Controller will contact Emergency Services.

APPENDIX B Desktop Water Review

Dear Martin

Desktop Water Review: Revised Mining Footprint at Mount Regal

1. Introduction

Spinifex Crushing and Screening Services Pty Ltd (SCS) commissioned 360

Environmental Pty Ltd (360 Environmental) to undertake a desktop water review to assist

with the design and management of a hard rock quarry in the north portion of M47/1484

at Mount Regal (‘the site’).

The findings of the review will primarily be used to inform the operations of the site. In

particular, it is beneficial to locate, where possible, onsite plant and ancillary equipment

outside of the 1 in 100 year ARI (1% AEP) floodplain.

In addition, the findings of the study will also start to inform the closure planning for the

site.

This report summarises the methodology and findings of the desktop water review. It also

provides a summary of the next steps that will be required to progress the hydrological

understanding of the site and feed into more detailed mine closure planning as operations

progress.

2. Site Description

2.1. Site Location and Proposals

Mount Regal is located in the City of Karratha, approximately 13.5 km southwest of

Karratha town centre, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

mailto:[email protected]

3261 AA Desktop Water Review Mount Regal Spinifex Crushing and Screening Services Pty Ltd


The study area is a proposed quarry located at the northeast corner of Mount Regal that

is located within the existing extent of SCS Mt Regal Operation area (Plate 1).

The site extends from the foot slopes of Mount Regal towards the mountain peaks. The

existing elevation ranges from approximately 45mAHD in the southwest corner to

131mAHD.

The site is accessible via an existing road, adjacent to the eastern boundary. The road is

connected to the North West Coastal Highway.

Plate 1:Site Location

2.2 Hydrological Catchment Delineation

The hydrological catchment upstream of the site was delineated using a broadscale

hydrologically enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM-H) (Elevation Foundation Spatial

Data, Available at: http://elevation.fsdf.org.au/. Accessed on 11/04/2019).

The data indicates that the site is located on a hydrological catchment-divide and therefore

lies within two hydrological catchments (see Plate 2).

http://elevation.fsdf.org.au/



The hydrological catchment on the northern extent of the site is approximately 57ha in

area.

The hydrological catchment on the southern extent of the site is larger with an approximate

area of 278ha. Runoff generated within these two catchments will concentrate in the main

drainage lines.

In addition to these two main flow paths, there will be overland flow generated within the

site which may concentrate in local drainage lines.

Plate 2: Topography



3. Methodology

3.1. Modelling Software

Broadscale hydrological modelling has been undertaken to provide an initial understanding

of the likely flood flow paths, velocities and depths at the site.

A two-dimensional (2D) direct rainfall (rain-on-grid) model was selected, using HEC-RAS

5.0.7 software that was developed by the Hydrologic Engineering Centre – a division of

the Institute for Water Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.

Model simulations have been undertaken using the full momentum computational method

(full Saint Venant equations).

3.2. Design Event

The primary purpose of the study is to inform quarrying and crushing operations at the site

and to identify issues that will need to be managed prior to the site’s (eventual) closure.

Ideally plant and ancillary equipment will be located outside of the 1 in 100 year ARI (1%

AEP) flood extent. As such, the flood modelling undertaken for this initial study has

focused on this design event.

If plant can not be located outside of the 1% AEP flood extent then it may be useful in

assessing flood risk during smaller more frequent storm events. This can be undertaken in

future stages.

It is noted that the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) and / or the Probable

Maximum Flood (PMF) are usually considered in mine closure planning as the Department

of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) are concerned about the stability of

onsite landforms (such as rock dumps), overflow/bypass structures and pit lakes once the

site is no longer under maintenance,

Mine closure is not imminent at this site, and the site is also unlikely to contain any

landforms, significant flow diversion structures or lakes that will be of concern to DMIRS.

As such, the PMP and / or PMF has not been considered as part of this initial investigation.

3.3. Model Extent and Representation

The flood model developed for the site covers an area of approximately 861ha

encompassing the two main hydrological catchments upstream of the site (described in

Section 2.2) and extending downstream to the railway line (see Plate 3).



A 10m model resolution (grid cell size) was used for the study. This resolution was selected

due to the project aims, hydrological catchment sizes, and resolution of the DEM upon

which the model was based (see Table 1).

3.2 Model Input Data, Parameters and Assumptions

For this preliminary assessment, model inputs were primarily derived from publicly

available regional datasets. Model inputs and parameters can be refined in the future

stages as planning progress and detailed design is underway.

Table 1 provides a summary of the key model parameters and inputs to the model.

Commentary is also provided on how these may be refined in future stages.

3.4. Hydrological Inflows

Precipitation has been applied to the model as direct rainfall, based on the Intensity-

Frequency-Duration (IFD) data, temporal patterns and losses outlined in Table 1. Losses

were applied to the rainfall data prior to application.

In addition to the HECRAS model, a XPSWMM hydrological model was developed using

regional datasets obtained from the ARR 2016 datahub to provide a hydrological response

comparison. In particular, the model was used to provide an additional initial assessment

of critical storm duration and design temporal pattern selection.

The catchment of interest was modelled with 1% AEP events ranging from 10 minutes to

168 hours. Three temporal patterns were selected from the ten available within the ARR

2016 datahub, that represented front-loaded, rear-loaded and uniformly distributed rainfall

systems. A 6 hour critical storm duration was identified and rear-loaded temporal pattern

adopted for use in 2D HEC-RAS model.

3.5. Downstream Boundary Condition

The downstream boundary of the model was established at the culvert under the railway

line. It was set to a ‘Normal Depth’ condition with a friction slope of 0.0023, representing

the channel slope in the vicinity of the downstream boundary; as extracted from the DEM-

H dataset (see Table 1).

It should be noted that other hydrological catchments contribute runoff to the lowlands

downstream of the site. It is assumed that these have no hydraulic influence on the flood

regime at the site due to the difference in elevation, so have not been included within the

current model. This assumption should be confirmed during future stages.



3.3 Calibration and Verification

Due to the preliminary nature of the study, limited calibration and validation has been

undertaken. Some hydrological comparison was undertaken as described in Section 3.4.

Recommendations for model refinement in future stages as the site progresses towards

closure is provided in Section 5.

PARAMETER INPUT DATA COMMENTS

Topography

1 second Digital Elevation Model – hydrologically enforced (DEM-H) (Elevation Foundation Spatial Data, available at: http://elevation.fsdf.org.au/. Accessed on 11/04/2019)

Topography has been represented in the model using 1 second DEM-H, which is a national elevation data product derived form the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. DEM-H has a grid cell size of approximately 30 m and has been hydrologically conditioned (drainage lines enforced).

The accuracy of the model can be improved in future stages by using a higher resolution DEM. A 5m DEM can be purchased from Landgate at a rate of $2.62/km plus an extraction fee.

The DEM used in this study represents the current topography of the site. This topography will change over time as the quarry progresses. The impact of the changes in topography on the hydrological response of the catchments should be explored in future stages.

Aerial photography

Google Satellite Imagery included in HEC-RAS software

Use of high level and broadscale datasets can lead to issues relating to misalignment of data. These datasets are generated for review of information over very broad areas and not at site scale. Use of more refined data such as Nearmap, as well as more refined DEM data will minimise and data misalignment issues in future stages.

Topographic features and structures

None

As described above, major drainage lines have been enforced into the DEM used in the study. No other DEM manipulation or adjustment of cell elevation has been undertaken within this study.

No structures (i.e. culverts/bridges) have been explicitly included in the model.

The accuracy of the model can be improved over time with the refinement of topographic features that have a hydraulic influence on water movement within the catchment. Of particular importance are road and rail features in the area. However, improving the resolution of the underlying DEM is likely to have the greatest impact in the first instance.

Temporal Patterns and Areal Reduction Factors: Rangelands West (Australian Rainfall & Runoff Data Hub, available at: http://data.arr-software.org/. Accessed on 11/04/2019);

IFDs are periodically updated and should be reviewed during future stages of modelling.

Point temporal pattern has bene used as hydrological catchments are less than 75km2. This assumption should be reviewed if the model is extent is revised.

Losses

Initial Loss: 45 mm;

Continuing Loss: 5 mm/hr;

(Australian Rainfall & Runoff, 2016, available at: http://arr.ga.gov.au/arr-guideline. Accessed on 11/04/2019)

The site is located in an arid region of Australia, with sparse hydrometric data.

For the Pilbara region, the ARR 2016 guidelines reference research outcomes by Flavell and Belstead (1986), which recommended initial loss values of approximately 40 to 50 mm and a continuing loss of 5 mm/hr.

ARR 2016 guidelines stated that the range of initial loss reported by Flavell and Belstead (1986) should be considered a lower limit of expected initial loss values.

The modelling has been undertaken using these regional loss values. The model should be calibrated and verified in future stages as outlined in Section 5.

4. Results and Analysis

The HEC-RAS model results indicate that the site will be affected by flooding from the

drainage line in the northern hydrological catchment during the 1% AEP (1 in 100 year ARI)

event. The results also indicate that there will be extensive flooding in the low-lying areas

downstream of the site which is likely to affect transportation routes (see Plate 4).

Approximately 16% (6.2 ha) of the site may be liable to flooding during this event, although

this area may be refined in the future through the use of a more refined model cell size and

detailed DEM data (see Table 1).

Local drainage lines and overland flow will be present across the site and should be

assessed in future stages when designing onsite surface water management systems.

Flood flows are expected to travel in a north east direction across the site, with maximum

flood depths up to 0.5m. Maximum flood velocities across the site. As with flood extents,

maximum flood depths and velocities would be improved with a more refined model cell

size and detailed DEM data.

Plate 5: 1% AEP Modelled Maximum Flood Depths

5. Next Steps

The preliminary assessment described in this report has provided likely flood flow routes

and extents during a 1% AEP event to inform initial stages of quarry planning.

It is envisaged that the model will be updated in the future to inform detailed quarry

planning and design. The following should be considered during the next stages:

Refining input datasets and assumptions as described in Table 1.

Reducing model grid cell size.

Improving the hydrological estimates in the by:

Analysing gauged data near to the site and/or from hydrologically similar

donor sites. XP-SWMM model – to allow model parameters to be improved

(calibrated) and verified.

Generating additional hydrological flow estimates using other methods

suitable for application in the Pilbara Region for calibration / verification

purposes.

Investigate other design storm events such as PMP/PMF that will be required for

mine closure planning.



Investigate potential downstream boundary affects – relating to the railway culvert

and other catchments contributing runoff to the downstream floodplain that have not

been included in the current model extent.

We trust this meets your requirements at this time. Should you have any questions or

require further action please do not hesitate to contact Felicity Jones or the undersigned

EExecutive Summary

360 Environmental Pty Ltd (360 Environmental) was commissioned by Spinifex Crushing & Screening Services Pty Ltd (Spinifex) in May 2014 to undertake a Level 2 flora and vegetation assessment and a Level 1 fauna assessment for the mining lease M47/1484 (the Project area). The Project area is approximately 846 ha in size and located 10 km south west of Karratha, Western Australia (WA).

A total of 144 taxa (including species, subspecies, varieties and forms) from 87 genera and 38 families were recorded in the Project area. The commonly occurring families were Fabaceae (32 taxa), Poaceae (19), and Malvaceae (16 taxa).

No Threatened species pursuant to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and/or gazetted as Declared Rare Flora (DRF) pursuant to the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act) were recorded during the survey. One Priority 3 species, Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) as listed by DPaW was recorded during the survey.

The review of the DPaW database and EPBC searches identified no Threatened or DRF previously recorded in the vicinity of the Project area. A total of 22 taxa listed as Priority flora by DPaW have previously recorded in the vicinity of the Project area (table 4).

Four introduced species, *Cenchrus ciliaris, *C. setiger, Passiflora foetida var. hispida and *Portulaca oleracea were recorded during the survey. None of these weed species are registered as WONS or listed as Declared under the BAM Act.

Ten vegetation associations were identified across three major landforms of the Project area. Vegetation condition ranged from Completely Degraded to Excellent with the hills of the Project area generally considered to be in Excellent condition, while the lower lying areas ranged from Good to Very Good.

One vegetation community, 2a is considered to be analogous to the Priority 3 community, Horseflat Land System. No vegetation associations identified in the Project area are analogous to any known TECs and no TECs were recorded as occurring in the vicinity during the desktop assessment.

Four fauna habitats were identified in the Project area and these include Hill Slope and Crest, Loam/ Sand Plain, Stony plain and Minor drainage lines.

Database searches returned 83 vertebrate species. Of these, 27 were reptiles from eight families, 44 were bird species from 26 families and 13 were mammals, from 12 families.

During the field survey, we recorded one amphibian species, the Desert Tree Frog, three species of reptiles, all from the Agamidae family, 23 bird species and eight mammal species. Six of the mammal species were bats, thee from the Molossidae family and three from the Vespertilionidae family. Of the non-bat mammal species, one mammal


360 Environmental Pty Ltd iii

was from Dasyuridae family (Northern Quoll) and the other was from the Macropodidae family (Common Wallaroo).

A total of 15 conservation significant fauna species (including Priority species) were identified during the desktop review of database searches. Three were retiles from the Scincidae and Boidae families. Six were bird species were returned, one each from the Colombidae, Apodidae, Otidae, Burhinidae, Meropidae and Hirundinidae families. And six mammal species were returned, one each from the Dasyuridae, Thalacomyidae, Notoryctidae and Hipposideridae families and two from the Muridae family.

Two species of conservation significance were directly observed during the field survey, the migratory Rainbow Bee-eater, which is common and widespread within Australia. The other conservation significant species documented was the Northern Quoll, which was recorded at four sites across the project area on motion sensitive cameras. As a result a targeted Northern Quoll survey will be carried out in July 2014, to further investigate and document the population present at Mount Regal.

11.2 Background to the Protection of Flora, Vegetation and Fauna

Flora and fauna is protected formally and informally by various legislative and non-legislative measures, which are as follows:

Legislative measures:

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act);

Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act);

Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act); and

Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 (BAM Act).

Non-legislative measures:

Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) Priority lists for flora, ecological communities and fauna;

Weeds of National Significance; and

Recognition of locally significant populations by the DPaW.

A short description of each is given below. Other definitions, including species conservation categories, are provided in Appendix A. Conservation categories for ecological communities are provided in Appendix B.

1.2.1 EPBC Act

The EPBC Act aims to protect matters of national environmental significance (MNES). Under the EPBC Act, the Commonwealth Department of the Environment lists threatened species and communities in categories determined by criteria set out in the Act (www.environment.gov.au/epbc/index.html) (Appendix A and B).

Projects likely to cause a significant impact on MNES should be referred to the Department of the Environment for assessment under the EPBC Act.

1.2.2 WC Act

The WA DPaW lists flora and fauna under the provisions of the WC Act as protected according to their need for protection (Appendix A).

Flora is given Declared Rare status when populations are geographically restricted or are threatened by local processes. In addition, under the WC Act, by Notice in the Western Australian Government Gazette of 9 October 1987, all native flora (spermatophytes, pteridophytes, bryophytes and thallophytes) is protected throughout the State. Fauna are classified as Schedule 1 to Schedule 4 according to their need for protection.



11.2.3 EP Act

Declared Rare Flora (DRF) and TECs are given special consideration in environmental impact assessments, and have special status as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) under the EP Act and the Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004. Exemptions for a clearing permit do not apply in an ESA. In addition, habitat necessary for the maintenance of indigenous fauna is considered in the clearing principles and assessed during consideration of applications for a clearing permit.

1.2.4 BAM Act

Plants may be ‘Declared’ by the Agriculture Protection Board (APB) under the BAM Act 2007 (WA). Declared Plants are gazetted under three categories (C1-C3), which define the action required. Details of the definitions of these categories are provided in Appendix C. A declaration may apply to the whole State, to districts, individual properties or even to single paddocks. If a plant is ‘Declared’, landholders are obliged to control that plant on their properties (Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia [DAFWA] 2014).

DPaW Weed Prioritization Process

The DPaW Weed Prioritization Process (WPP) was developed to progress the Environmental Weed Strategy of Western Australia (CALM 1999). The Weed Prioritisation Process for DPaW (DPaW 2013) prioritises weeds in each of the DPaW Regions, with the aim being to establish both a species-led and an asset-protection-based approach to weed management

The species-led process assesses weed species for their invasiveness, ecological impacts, potential and current distribution and feasibility of control. The resulting priorities focus on infestations of species which are considered to be high impact, rapidly invasive and still at a population size which is feasible to eradicate or contain to a manageable size. Weed species which are already widespread do not rank as a high priority through this part of the process.

The next stage of the process investigates the use of an asset-protection-based approach to guide the management of widespread weeds. This approach focuses on identifying high value biodiversity assets, the weeds that pose a threat to these assets and the sites where control will have the greatest biodiversity benefit and cost effectiveness. Social, cultural and economic assets as well as good neighbour issues are considered at a later stage of the process.



11.2.5 Weeds of National Significance

The Australian Government along with the State and Territory governments has endorsed 32 Weeds of National Significance (WONS). Four major criteria were used in determining WONS:

The invasiveness of a weed species;

A weed's impacts;

The potential for spread of a weed; and

Socio-economic and environmental values.

Each WONS has a national strategy and a national coordinator, responsible for implementing the strategy. WONS are regarded as the worst weeds in Australia because of their invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts (Commonwealth of Australia 2014).

1.2.6 DPaW Priority Lists

The DPaW lists ‘Priority’ flora and fauna that have not been assigned statutory protection as Declared Rare or ‘Scheduled’ under the WC Act, but which are under consideration for declaration as DRF or ‘Scheduled’ fauna. Flora and fauna assessed as Priority 1-3 are considered to be in urgent need of further survey. Priority 4 flora and fauna require monitoring every 5-10 years and Priority 5 flora and fauna are subject to a specific conservation program (Appendix A).

The DPaW maintains a list of PECs which identifies ecologically valuable communities that need further investigation before possible nomination for TEC status. Once listed, a community is a PEC, and when endorsed by the Western Australian Minister of Environment becomes a TEC, and protected as an ESA under Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004 (Appendix B).

1.2.7 Informal Recognition of Flora and Fauna

Certain populations or communities of flora may be of local significance or interest because of their patterns of distribution and abundance. For example, specific locations of flora may be locally significant because they are range extensions to the previously known distribution, or are newly discovered taxa (and have the potential to be of more than local significance). In addition, many species are in decline as a result of threatening processes (land clearing, grazing, changed fire regimes), and relict populations of such species assume local importance for the DPaW. It is not uncommon for the DPaW to make comment on these species of interest.



22 Biophysical Environment

2.1 Climate

The closest reliable official Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) weather station currently operating is Karratha Aero, approximately 10 km north of the Project area. The climate for Karratha is described as arid to tropical, with mean minima ranging approximately from 13.7 ˚C to 26.8˚C and maxima from approximately 26.2˚C to 36˚C. Annual average rainfall is 297 mm (BoM 2014).

Karratha Aero recorded 600 mm of rain in the 12 months prior to survey (June 2013 – May 2014) which is 303 mm above the long term average rainfall of 297 mm for the same period. The three months prior to survey (March 2014 – May 2014), Karratha Aero recorded 148 mm of rainfall, 52% above the 97 mm average rainfall for the same period (BoM 2014).

Figure 2: 2014 rainfall and mean rainfall for Karratha Aero from 1971 to 2014 (BoM 2014).

2.2 Geology and Soils

Soil-landscape zones of Western Australia have been mapped at a scale of 1:1,000,000 by Tille (2006). These zones describe broad soil and landscape characteristics. The Project area lies in the De Grey-Roebourne Lowlands Zone which is characterised alluvial



plains and sandplains (and some floodplains and stony plains) on alluvial and marine deposits over rocks of the northern Pilbara Craton. Red deep sandy duplexes with Red loamy earths and some Red/brown non-cracking clays, Cracking clays, Red sandy earths and Red deep loamy duplexes. Spinifex grasslands with kanji and tussock grasslands. Located in the northern Pilbara between Karratha and the De Grey River (Tille 2006).

Three geological units are mapped in the Project area and captured at a scale of 1:500,000 (Geological Survey of Western Australia, 2008);

Karratha Granodiorite

22.3 Hydrology

No significant streams or tributaries as mapped by Department of Water (DoW 2014) occur in the Project area however the field survey identified several minor unmapped drainage lines originating in the hills of the Project area.

2.4 Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia

The Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA7) divides Australia into 89 bioregions based on major biological and geographical/geological attributes. These bioregions are subdivided into 419 subregions, as part of a refinement of the IBRA framework (Department of the Environment 2014a).

The Project area lies in the Pilbara Bioregion and Roebourne subregion (PIL4) of IBRA7. The Roebourne subregion is described as quaternary alluvial and older colluvial coastal and sub-coastal plains with grass savannah of mixed bunch and hummock grasses, and dwarf shrub steppe of Acacia stellaticeps or A. pyrifolia and A. inaequilatera. Uplands are dominated by Triodia hummock grasslands. Ephemeral drainage lines support Eucalyptus victrix or Corymbia hamersleyana woodlands. Samphire, Sporobolus and mangal occur on marine alluvial flats and river deltas. Resistant linear ranges of basalts occur across the coastal plains, with minor exposure of granite. Islands are either quaternary sand accumulations, or composed of basalt or limestone, or combinations of any of these three (Kendrick and Stanley 2001).

2.5 Land Systems

Land system mapping is based on regional patterns in topography, soils and vegetation. In the Pilbara region Land system mapping was completed by van Vreeswyk et al.



(2004). The mapping classifies the Pilbara region into 102 land systems, four of which the follow occur the study area (table 1).

2.6 Broad Vegetation Types

Mapping of the vegetation of the Pilbara region of Western Australia was completed on a broad scale (1:1,000,000) by Beard (1975). These vegetation units were re-assessed by Shepherd et al. (2001) to account for clearing in the intensive land use zone, dividing some larger vegetation units into smaller units.

There are two Beard / Shepherd vegetation units in the Project area. The Shepherd et al. (2001) vegetation types (corresponding Beard [1975] type in brackets) are described below, and it’s representation in the Project area, subregion, region and state is shown in Table 2:

2.7 Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs)

There is no mapped ESA in the Project area, the nearest ESA, is located 40 km north of the study area (DEC 2013) on the Burrup Peninsula. The proposed activities are not considered likely to result in any impacts to the conservation values of this ESA or any other ESAs.



33 Methods

3.1 Background

The flora survey was consistent with a single season Level 2 survey as per the EPA requirements for environmental surveying and reporting for flora and vegetation in Western Australia where practical and relevant, as set out in the following documents:

EPA Guidance for the Assessment of Environmental Factors: Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia No. 51 (EPA 2004a); and

EPA Guidance for the Level of Assessment for Proposals affecting Natural Areas within the System 6 Region and Swan Coastal Plain Portion of the System 1 region. Guidance Statement No. 10 (EPA 2006).

The Level 1 fauna was compliant with the EPA requirements for the environmental survey and reporting of fauna in Western Australia where practical and relevant, and as set out in the following documents:

Terrestrial Biological Surveys as an Element of Biodiversity Protection. Position Statement No. 3 (EPA 2002);

Terrestrial Fauna Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia. Guidance Statement No. 56 (EPA 2004b); and

Technical Guide – Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment (EPA 2010).

3.2 Flora and Vegetation Survey Methods

3.2.1 Flora and Vegetation Database Review

The desktop study provided background information on the flora and vegetation of the Project area. Searches of the DPaW DRF and Priority Flora databases and EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool were undertaken to identify the potential for MNES, DRF, Priority species, TECs or PECs to occur within 50 km of the Project area (DPaW 2014a, DPaW 2014b and DoE 2014b). These sources were used to compile a list of expected Threatened or Priority species and TECs or PECs that may occur in the Project area.

3.2.2 Flora and Vegetation Field Survey

The field survey was undertaken between 19 - 22 May 2014, with a total survey effort of eight person-days in the field.



The survey included the assessment of quadrats and mapping notes. Quadrats are vegetation survey plots which are accurately measured out as 50 x 50 m (or an area equivalent to 2500 m2) and marked at the northwest (NW) corner using a handheld Garmin GPS unit. The location of the quadrats is presented in figure 3.

The information recorded at each quadrat included landscape features, surface soil colour and texture, bare ground, litter cover, disturbance, fire age, aspect and vegetation condition. Each species of plant at each quadrat was recorded, including information on height and percentage cover.

33.2.3 Systematic Searches

In addition to the information collected from the quadrats, traverses targeting suitable habitat for significant flora were undertaken. For each population of significant flora identified during the field survey, the following was recorded:

Co-ordinate locations (using handheld GPS units);

Description of vegetation association present; and

Estimation of population size.

3.2.4 Taxonomy and Nomenclature

Where field identification of plant taxa was not possible, specimens were collected systematically for later identification utilising resources of the Western Australian Herbarium (WAH).

The species list was checked against FloraBase (WAH 2014) to determine the species’ conservation status. Threatened and Priority Flora were verified against the EPBC Act listing of threatened species to determine Commonwealth listing.

Introduced species were checked against the DPaW Weed Prioritisation Process (WPP) (DPaW 2013a), to determine their ranking in terms of environmental impact. The BAM Act Declared Plants list was consulted to determine if any are Declared Plants, and the Weeds of National Significance list to determine any WONS (Commonwealth of Australia 2013).

3.2.5 Vegetation Mapping

The vegetation mapping units were described based on their structure and species composition, as defined by quadrat data and field observations. Vegetation was mapped in the field using handheld GPS (Garmin) units and high-resolution aerial photographs (1:3,402 scale), which in the office were digitised using GIS software (ArcGIS 9.3.1).

Vegetation condition was mapped in the field using handheld GPS (Garmin) units and high-resolution aerial photographs (1:10,000 scale), which in the office were digitised using GIS software (ArcGIS 9.3.1). Vegetation condition was assessed based on the Trudgen scale (Trudgen 1991) (Appendix D).



33.3 Fauna Survey Methods

3.3.1 Fauna Database Review

Searches of the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool, NatureMap (both 10 km radial searches) and DPaW’s threatened fauna database (50 km radial search) were undertaken to identify fauna species of conservation significance potentially occurring in the Project area (DoE 2014b; DPaW 2014c; DPaW 2014d).

Collectively, these sources were used to compile a list of species that have been previously recorded in the vicinity of the Project area (Appendix E). This list invariably includes some species that do not occur in the Project area, as some fauna have a limited or patchy distribution or a high level of habitat specificity for habitats which are not located in the Project area e.g. waders/shorebirds that require coastal shores for habitat. Some fauna may also have become locally extinct or were erroneously identified in previous surveys. These fauna were examined and then excluded from the list where relevant.

3.3.2 Field Survey

The field survey was undertaken from 19 - 22 May 2014, with a total survey effort of four person-days in the field. The purpose of the field assessment was to verify the accuracy of the desktop assessment and to further delineate and characterise the fauna assemblages and fauna habitat in the Project area. The assessment consisted primarily of a fauna habitat assessment and opportunistic observations.

3.3.3 Habitat Assessment

Broad fauna habitats based on vegetation structure and landforms were identified during the field assessment. These fauna habitats were then assessed for their potential to support species of conservation significance and the quality of habitat they provide to a wider suite of fauna.

A total of eight habitat assessments were completed during the survey with each habitat that was assessed given a habitat value based on the complexity of the microhabitats, including vegetation cover, presence of water, tree hollows, loose bark and leaf litter. In addition the habitat assessment also recorded landscape features such as soil type, rock type, and vegetation type and disturbance levels. The location of the habitat assessments are presented in figure 4.

3.3.4 Opportunistic Observation

Fauna were opportunistically observed and recorded during the assessment. The assessment also included searches for scats, tracks, burrows and other traces of animals throughout the Project area. Where conservation significant species were located, the coordinates were recorded with a GPS.



33.3.5 Bat Monitoring

A total three nights of bat calls were recorded using Wildlife Acoustic SM2 recording units. The SM2 unit was deployed for one night at three locations in the Project area. When deploying the SM2 units, feature such as water holes, flyways and tree lines were considered to be preferable locations where bats might forage. The location of the SM2 units is presented in figure 4.

The six bat species recorded during the survey are all common and widespread throughout the Pilbara (McKenzie and Bullen 2009)

3.3.6 Motion Sensitive Camera

Two motion sensitive cameras were setup during the field survey. The cameras were setup for a minimum of one night at five separate locations (one camera was set for two nights in the same location). The cameras were typically positioned in areas that are likely to support species of conservation significance, for example in gorges, beside water holes and in rock piles. The motion sensitive camera locations are presented in figure 4.

3.3.7 Taxonomy

For species identified in the desktop assessment, where there is doubt to their true taxonomy (through subsequent name changes or taxonomic reviews), an effort was made to determine the current scientific name for each taxon. In some cases, old scientific names may be presented where correct nomenclature could not be determined due to name changes. Some taxon names may be followed by ‘sp.’, meaning that the species name was not given in the data source or the identification is in doubt. Where there are previously recorded taxa such as this that have the potential to be a conservation significant species, they are discussed specifically in the results and discussion section.

Taxonomy and nomenclature in this report follows the accepted listing of published terrestrial vertebrate species. The listing for amphibians follows Marion Anstis (2013), reptiles follows Cogger (2014), birds follows Christidis & Boles (2008) and mammals Van Dyck & Strahan (2008).



44 Results

4.1 Flora, Vegetation and Fauna Survey Limitations and Constraints

Survey constraints are often difficult to predict, as is the extent to which they influence survey effort. Survey limitations and constraints of the flora, vegetation and fauna survey are detailed in Table 3.

Table 3: Limitations and constraints associated with the Project area.

VAARIABLE IMPACT ON SURVEY OUTCOMES

Access The whole site was accessed and traversed. Particular focus was given to areas expected to be impacted and or that may have species of conservation significance.

Experience The personnel who executed these surveys were practitioners suitably qualified in their respective fields:

� Coordinating Zoologist: Hayden Ajduk (Ecologist);

� Field Staff: Bridget Watkins (Senior Botanist) and Hayden Ajduk; and

� Data Interpretation and Reporting: Hayden Ajduk and Laura Stevens (Environmental Scientist).

� Report Review: Dr Ron Firth

Timing, weather, season The survey was conducted after three months of above average rainfall (refer to Section 2.1) therefore, the seasonal conditions for the survey were considered good.

Flora composition changes with time, particularly across the seasons and with seasonal conditions. Fire history also affects the composition of flora. Therefore, botanical surveys completed at different times of the year will have varying results.

Scope: Life forms sampled The scope of this project included the detailed surveying of flora and vegetation and searching for conservation significant species or communities.

As a Level 1 Fauna survey was carried out, many species that occur at the site would not have been observed during the survey, particularly small ground-dwelling fauna that are normally captured by trapping. All conservation significant species previously recorded in the area have



been considered. Based on the habitat present, those species deemed to potentially occur in the Project area have been addressed in this report.

Sources of information Relevant DPaW and EPBC searches were undertaken for the Project area and are listed in sections 3.2.1 and 3.3.1

Completeness The entire Project area was accessible; the time spent conducting the survey was considered adequate for the size and complexity of the site. All vegetation associations were sufficiently surveyed; with 32 quadrats and additional vegetation mapping notes recorded.

Disturbances The Project area contains low levels of disturbance, particularly recent disturbance. Historically there has been grazing, vehicle tracks and several weed species were recorded.

44.2 Flora Results

4.2.1 Overview of Flora

A total of 144 taxa (including species, subspecies, varieties and forms) from 87 genera and 38 families were recorded in the Project area. The commonly occurring families were Fabaceae (32 taxa), Poaceae (19), and Malvaceae (16 taxa). The most frequently recorded genera were; Acacia (11 taxa), Ptilotus (eight taxa) and Senna (six taxa).

Two specimens could only be identified to genus level due to their sterile nature. Neither of these are considered to potentially represent conservation significant taxa. One specimen of Triodia was identified as being either Triodia epactia or T. pungens due to sterile material.

The flora inventory is provided in Appendix F, a species by site matrix in Appendix G and the site data sheets in Appendix H.

4.2.2 Flora of Conservation Significance

No Threatened species listed under the EPBC Act and/or gazetted as DRF under the WC Act were recorded during the survey. One Priority 3 species, Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) as listed by DPaW was recorded during the survey. The location of Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) is presented in figure 5.

The review of the DPaW database and EPBC searches identified no Threatened or DRF previously recorded in the vicinity of the Project area. A total of 22 taxa listed as Priority flora by DPaW have previously recorded in the vicinity of the Project area (table 4).

The likelihood of these 22 conservation significant taxa occurring in the Project area is shown in Table 3. One was recorded during the current survey, three are considered



‘Likely’ to occur within the Project area, three are considered as possible to occur and the remaining 15 taxa are ‘Unlikely’ to occur.

4.2.4 Vegetation Associations

Ten vegetation associations were identified across three major landforms of the Project area (Figure 5). The vegetation associations are summarised in Table 6 and are described in detail on the following pages.

The major landforms identified in the Project area were (see example below for description and detail):

� Drainage/Creeklines lines - Defined ephemeral drainage lines observed in the study area and represents 52.09 ha or 6.15% of the Project area.

� Plains – Plains are located at the base of the slopes and adjacent to the creeklines. The plain landform represents 394.27 ha or 46.60% of the Project area.

� Hills- These areas included the hill tops, upper slopes and lower slopes of the hills observed in the Project area. The hills represent 396.03 ha or 46.81% of the Project area.

4.2.5 Vegetation Condition

Vegetation condition ranged from Completely Degraded to Excellent (Figure 6). The hills of the Project area were generally considered to be in Excellent condition, while the lower lying areas ranged from Good to Very Good. The extent of each vegetation condition unit is presented in table 7.

Historical grazing, vehicle tracks and weeds were observed. The average fire age of the vegetation was considered old (8-12 years since last fire).

4.2.6 Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities

A search of the DPaW TEC and PEC database identified the buffers for the following TECs and PECs within 50 km of the Project area (DPaW 2013c);

Roebourne Plains gilgai grasslands (Priority 1);

Roebourne chenopod association (Priority 1);

Horseflat Land System of the Roebourne Plains (Priority 3); and

Coastal dune native tussock grassland (Priority 3).

One vegetation community, 2a is considered to be analogous to the Priority 3 community, Horseflat Land System. The Horseflat Land System of the Roebourne Plains is described by DPaW as:

‘Extensive, weakly gilgaied clay plains dominated by tussock grasslands on mostly alluvial non-gilgaied, red clay loams or heavy clay loams. Perennial tussock grasses include Eragrostis xerophila (Roebourne Plains grass) and other Eragrostis spp.,



Eriachne spp. and Dichanthium spp. The community also supports a suite of annual grasses including Sorghum spp. and rare Astrebela spp. The community extends from Cape Preston to Balla Balla surrounding the towns of Karratha and Roebourne.’

Vegetation community 2a is mapped as the Horseflat Land System and is dominated by Eragrostis xerophila tussock grassland with weakly gilgaied soils.

44.2.7 Regional Representation

Vegetation mapping units described in the Project area were correlated with the Beard (1978) and Shepherd et al. (2001) broad vegetation types as much as possible by examining similarities in vegetation descriptions (Table 8). Differences exist with the terminology used in the descriptions as they are based on different methods of categorising and characterising vegetation types, and the different spatial scale of the analysis (i.e. region vs. local scale). Three vegetation units 1a,1b and 3c could not be assigned Shepherd broad vegetation types due to their small size.

The EPA recognises vegetation complexes that are not well represented in reserves as being significant. Vegetation complexes which have 10%-30% remaining may be considered regionally significant. Proposals that would affect a vegetation complex with 10% or less remaining are likely to be formally assessed by the EPA (EPA 2006). All of the vegetation types in the Project area are considered to occur at near their pre-European extent (>99% remaining).

4.3 Fauna Results

4.3.1 Fauna of Conservation Significance

During the four day assessment two species of conservation significance were recorded; the Rainbow Bee-eater was observed and the Northern Quoll was recorded with motion sensitive cameras at four different locations (figure 7).



No signs such as burrows, diggings, tracks and scats of conservation significant species were observed.

A total of 15 conservation significant species (including Priority species) were identified during the desktop review of database searches (Table 9 and Appendix E). These comprised three reptiles, six birds and six mammals. In addition to the two recorded species, four of the 15 species are considered as ‘Likely’ to occur within the Project area, four species are considered as ‘Possible’ and five species are considered ‘Unlikely’ to occur within the Project area.

The Likelihood of each species is based on the following criteria:

Recorded: Recorded during the field survey or site reconnaissance;

Likely: Suitable habitat is present in the Project area and the Project area is in the species’ known distribution;

Possible: Limited or no suitable habitat is present in Project area, but is nearby. The species has good dispersal abilities and is known from the general area; and

Unlikely: No suitable habitat is present in Project area but is nearby, the species has poor dispersal abilities, but is known from the general area; or suitable habitat is present, however the Project area is outside of the species’ known distribution.

An explanation of the reasons for the likelihood assigned to conservation significant species is mentioned in the discussion.

4.3.2 Fauna Assemblages

Fauna previously recorded in the vicinity of the site and during this Level 1 four day assessment are listed in Appendix E.

4.3.2.1 Recorded Fauna

A total of 84 vertebrate species have been previously recorded in the surrounding area and these were retrieved from the database searches (Appendix J). Many of these species are unlikely to occur in the Project area on a regular basis as these records are from a large area encompassing a wide range of habitats. In addition, many fauna are not



distributed evenly across the landscape, are more abundant in some places than others are, and consequently more detectable (Currie 2007). Furthermore, some small, common ground-dwelling reptile and mammal species tend to be habitat specific, and many bird species can occur as regular migrants, occasional visitors or vagrants.

A total of 35 fauna species were recorded in the Project area during the field survey (Appendix E).

Amphibians

No amphibians were present in the database searches; however, we did record the desert tree frog (Litoria rubella) in minor drainage line habitat.

Reptiles

Twenty seven species of reptile have been previously recorded in the surrounding area and these were retrieved from the database searches (Appendix E). Three species of reptile were recorded during the field survey.

Birds

From the database searches and the assessment, a total of 44 bird species have been recorded in the surrounding area and in the Project area. Of these 44 species, 23 were recorded during the assessment (Appendix E).

Mammals

Thirteen species of mammal have previously been recorded in the vicinity of the Project area (Appendix E). Many of these are unlikely to occur in the Project area, since these records are from a larger area encompassing a wide range of habitats, and small mammals tend to be habitat-specific. During the fauna assessment eight species were recorded, the Northern Quoll, Common Wallaroo and six species of bat, namely; Common Sheath-tailed Bat, Northern Free-tailed Bat, Beccari's Free-tailed Bat, Gould's Wattled Bat, Little Broad-nosed Bat and Finlayson's Cave Bat.

44.3.3 Fauna Habitat

Four fauna habitats were identified in the study area and these include Hill Slope and Crest, Stony plain, Loam/ Sand Plain and Minor drainage lines. These are mapped in Figure 7 and the habitat assessments are detailed in Appendix I. The extent of each habitat in the study area is presented in Table 10. Of the habitats identified the hills and sand/loam plain were the most extensive, comprising 81% of the study area.

STUDY AREA (HHA)

Hill Slope and Crest 396.0

Loam/Sand Plain 290.7

Stony Plain 103.6

Minor Drainage lines 52.1

Hill Slope and Crest

This habitat type was characterised by hill slopes and hill crests. The vegetation was of moderate complexity and consisted of scattered to open shrubland of Terminalia canescens, Acacia coriacea and Acacia bivenosa over hummock grassland of Triodia spp. There is generally a low diversity of microhabitats with few logs, debris, and hollows provided by the vegetation and the soil was hard and unsuitable for burrowing fauna. Some smaller areas of outcropping and rock piles that contain small caves and crevices do occur in this habitat, and this provides suitable refuge for small reptiles and mammals. While the majority of this habitat provides relatively low value for conservation species, the rock outcropping and rock piles provide suitable habitat for Lined Soil-Crevice Skink (Notoscincus butleri) and Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus).

Loam/Sandy Plain

The sand/loam plains habitat is identified by their soils and vegetation. The have softer soils and contain few stones than the Stony plan. The soils range from light loams to more coarse sandy areas, with both being suitable for burrowing fauna species. Vegetation typically consist of low scattered Corymbia hamersleyana trees over a tall shrubland of Acacia inaequilatera, Acacia bivenosa and Acacia citrinoviridis shrublands over scattered low shrubs of Senna spp. over Triodia spp. hummock grasslands. Small areas of Acacia xiphophylla shrublands are also interspersed through this habitat.

Stony Plain

The stony plain habitat type consisted of tall open shrubland of trees of Acacia bivenosa and Acacia synchronicia over hummock grassland of Triodia wiseana and Triodia epactia. This habitat type contains limited microhabitats with the dominant Acacia species providing no tree hollows, few logs, limited leaf litter and sparse vegetation. Conservation significant fauna likely to utilise this habitat type are the Lined Soil-Crevice Skink (Notoscincus butleri) and Australian Bustard (Ardeotis australis).

Minor Drainage Line

The minor drainage line habitat is a linear habitat which ran from the top of the hills to the surrounding plains, or encompassed small tributaries that eventually flow into larger river and major drainage habitat types. The vegetation structure of this habitat type



consisted of a Low open woodland of Corymbia hamersleyana over scattered shrubs of Acacia coriacea, Acacia bivenosa and Santalum lanceolatum over an open hummock grassland of Triodia spp., over an open tussock grassland of *Cenchrus ciliaris. The Minor Drainage Line habitat had a moderate diversity of microhabitats with logs, debris, tree hollows and occasional soft soils. Additionally, this habitat is also acts as a wildlife corridor that helps some fauna disperse across the landscape. Surface water was present in small areas during the time of survey.



55 Discussion

5.1 Flora of Conservation Significance

No threatened species pursuant to the EPBC Act or to the WC Act were recorded in the Project area during the field survey or are expected to occur. One Priority 3 flora (as listed by DPaW), Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) was recorded during the survey whilst a further 21 Priority taxa were identified as potentially occurring in the Project area. Of these 21 taxa only three, Acacia glaucocaesia (P3), Terminalia supranitifolia (P3) and Rhynchosia bungarensis (P4) are considered likely to occur. The remaining 18 taxa were considered either possible (three taxa) or unlikely (15 taxa) to occur in the Project area.

The Priority 3 Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) was recorded from a single location in vegetation unit 1b. Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) is a small slender vine known from 14 records at the WAH. It has been recorded growing from rock piles and rock outcropping in the Karratha area (WAH 2014).

Acacia glaucocaesia (P3) is a dense, glabrous shrub or tree between 1.8-6 m high with preferred habitat considered red loam, sandy loam or clay on floodplains (WAH 2014). Given that Acacia glaucocaesia is a large perennial species it would have been present and readily identifiable during the field survey however no specimens were recorded despite searches.

Terminalia supranitifolia (P3) is a spreading, tangled shrub or tree to 3 m high with preferred habitat including sand among basalt rocks (WAH 2014). Given that Terminalia supranitifolia is a large perennial species it would have been present and readily identifiable during the field survey, however, no specimens were recorded despite searches.

Rhynchosia bungarensis (P4) is a compact, prostrate shrub to 0.5 m high with preferred habitat being pebbly, shingly coarse sand amongst boulders (WAH 2014). As Rhynchosia bungarensis is considered a perennial species it would have been present and readily identifiable during the field survey, however, no specimens were recorded despite searches.

5.2 Vegetation of Conservation Significance

A review of the DPaW TEC and PEC database searches identified four PECs occurring within 50 km of the Project area. One vegetation association, 2a appears to be analogous to the Priority 3 community, Horseflat Land System of the Roebourne Plains.

The Horseflat Land System of the Roebourne Plains community extends from Cape Preston to Balla Balla surrounding the towns of Karratha and Roebourne. Currents threats identified by DPaW include grazing, weed invasion and fragmentation.



Vegetation community 2a is 10.35 ha in size and represents 1.22% of the study area. The condition of 2a ranges from Good to Very Good with few disturbances including motorbike tracks and minor occurrences of *Cenchrus ciliaris.

55.3 Vegetation Condition and Introduced Flora

The vegetation condition in the Project area was considered to be Very Good to Excellent, with the vegetation structure intact. Generally the hills were considered to be in Excellent condition with little to no disturbance, while the plains and drainage lines were considered to be in Very Good to Good condition, with disturbance including tracks, motorbike trails, rubbish and weed species. The fire age of the Project area was generally estimated to be Old.

5.4 Regional Representation

The EPA recognises vegetation complexes that are not well represented and these are considered significant. Vegetation complexes which have 10%-30% remaining may be considered regionally significant. Proposals that would affect a vegetation complex with 10% or less remaining are likely to be formally assessed by the EPA (EPA 2006).

The Project area is mapped as Shepherd/Beard units 157 (t3Hi) and 589 (xGc/t1Hi). Unit 157 (t3Hi) was estimated to have 99.32% of its native vegetation remaining with 17.95% in secure tenure. Unit 589 (xGc/t1Hi) was estimated to have 99.38% of its native vegetation remaining with 1.59% in secure tenure (DPaW 2012).

Both Shepherd/Beard units are considered to be well represented, with both having their current extent well above the 30% threshold set by the EPA.

5.5 Fauna Habitat Types

Four habitat types, hill slope and crest, loam/sand plain, stony plain and minor drainage lines, were present in the Project area. This habitat was considered to be in Poor to Pristine condition, with only limited disturbance being observed. This habitat is also widespread in the region (see section 5.4 above), consequently, if small areas of the entire Project area (846 ha) are to be cleared, impacts to fauna habitat will be minimal from a regional perspective.

5.6 Fauna Assemblage

The 10 km NatureMap and EPBC search and DPaW search (50 km) all returned a number of marine and wetland species. However, due to the inland location of the Project area, and an absence of suitable habitat, these species will not use the Project area. These species can be seen in Appendix J, however, they have been omitted from the project site fauna list (Appendix E) and all subsequent discussion.



The proposed development is unlikely to significantly impact the majority of fauna in the Project area, as the majority retrieved from the database searches are generally common and widespread throughout the region and are not specifically dependent upon the Project area.

55.7 Bat Species Recorded during the survey

Acoustic Bat Recording

Acoustic bat recordings using a Song Meter recording unit (SM2) was done to document the presence of bat species in the Project area. The SM2 detector converts ultrasonic echolocation signals produced by bats into audible electronic signals, which are later analysed to determine the presence of species-specific calls. Acoustic bat calls were recorded over a total of three nights at four sites in the Project area (Figure 4; Appendix E). This site was selected based on accessibility and habitat quality for bat species most likely to utilise the study area based on literature, experience and results from database searches.

Six species of bat were recorded. All species are considered common and widespread; however, given the relatively limited data from the local area we have briefly discussed each species below.

Common Sheath-tailed Bat

This bat roosts in the twilight zone near cave entrances in the rocky areas of northern Australia. At dusk, it emerges and flied high and fast catching insects and eating them in flight. The Common Sheath-tailed Bat does not hang from the roof, but clings to the wall propped on its forearms. It is usually the only species observed in vertical roosts such as fissures, cracks between boulders and mine shafts, roosting singly and well separated. As many as 100 bats have been found in a cave, but fewer than 20 is typical.

Northern Free-tailed Bat

The Northern Free-tailed Bat is commonly heard and seen in urban areas, foraging for insects around bright lights. It is one of the few Australian bats with an audible echolocation call.

Northern Free-tailed Bats commonly fly in groups of two or more. Its fast and direct flight is appropriate to open habitats and foraging over tree-tops as is lacks the manoeuvrability to hunt in dense vegetation. It is generally active throughout the night, foraging on beetles, moths, lacewings, grasshoppers and cockroaches.

Beccari’s Free-tailed Bat

The Beccari’s Free-tailed Bat occurs across Northern Australia, usually roosting in the hollows of trees. In arid and semiarid regions, it forages along watercourses fringed with River Red Gum. It hunts flying insects as well as beetles and moths caught in flight, above the tree canopy and along unobstructed corridors of river courses, only



approaching ground level over pools. Its echolocation calls are well suited to foraging in uncluttered habitat.

GGould’s Wattled Bat

Gould’s Wattled Bat is widespread throughout Australia occurring in a range of habitats including open forest, woodland, mallee, tall shrubland, dense forest, farmland and urban areas. Preferring to roost in tree hollows, roost trees are usually large live trees, with the roost inside a dead spout, the entrance diameter of which is proximately 10cm. Colonies usually include up to 30 individuals and are dominated by females. Some bats particularly males, roost alone.

Gould’s Wattled Bat is one of the earliest to leave its roost at night, emerging 20-30 minutes after sunset. Foraging can be considerable distances from roost sites, crossing open paddocks to reach feeding areas of remnant vegetation, where they feed on moths, beetles, larvae, crickets and ants.

Little Broad-nosed Bat

Relatively abundant across its known range, the Little Broad-nosed Bat’s habitat includes dry grassland and woodland, sandy deserts, inland rivers, monsoon forest and Melaleuca swamps, where it roosts in tree hollows. Colonies range in size from a pair to approximately 20 individuals. The diet of the Little Broad-nosed Bat includes beetles, bugs, flies, moths, crickets and wingless ants.

Finlayson’s Cave Bat

Of the four cave dwelling Vespadelus species, Finlayson’s Cave Bat has the broadest geographic range; however within this range it is never far from rocky outcrops or hilly terrain, where caves, cracks and fissures provide natural roost sites. A single colony may exceed 500 individuals.

It has fluttering flight and fast direction changes, commonly observed at watering holes, foraging for insects and occasionally dipping into the water to drink. Its diet is thought to comprise of small insects such as moths, mosquitoes and flying ants.

5.8 Conservation Significant Fauna

A total of 15 conservation significant species (including Priority species) were identified during the desktop review of the database searches. Of these, two were recorded during the survey, four were considered likely to occur in the Project area, three were considered possible and six considered unlikely. All conservation significant species will be discussed further below.

It is also important to note, however, that the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool and is not entirely based on point records, but also on broader information, for example bioclimatic distribution models. Whereas DPaWs NatureMap and threatened fauna



database is, consequently, the results of the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool are in some cases less accurate, particularly at a local scale.

55.8.1 Species Recorded

Two conservation significant species were recorded during the field survey; the Rainbow Bee-eater and the Northern Quoll, the locations of which are presented in Figure 7.

Rainbow Bee-eater

A single Rainbow Bee-eater was recorded at a drainage line within the Project area. The species is listed as Migratory under the EPBC Act. This species is one of the most common and widespread birds in Australia with a distribution that covers the majority of Australia (Barrett et al. 2003). The Rainbow Bee-eater is a common and widespread species in Western Australia, except the drier interior of the State and the far south-west. It occurs in lightly wooded, often sandy country, preferring areas near water. It feeds on airborne insects, and nests throughout its range in Western Australia in burrows excavated in sandy ground or banks, often at the margins of roads and tracks (Johnstone and Storr 1998). In Western Australia this bird can occur as a ‘resident, breeding visitor, postnuptial nomad, passage migrant and winter visitor’ (Johnstone & Storr 1998).

The Project area contains potential foraging habitat for this species, however, due to its widespread distribution, impacts to the population as a result of mining related activity in the lease will likely be insignificant at the local level, and particularly so at the regional level.

Northern Quoll

The Northern Quoll is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act and S1 under the WC Act. The range of the Northern Quoll has from contracted across northern Australia since European settlement, and it now occurs as several disjunct populations (Braithwaite and Griffiths 1994). The Northern Quoll can be locally common, but its former range has retracted considerably (Van Dyck and Strahan 2008). The Northern Quoll is found in dissected rocky escarpments, utilising a variety of den sites, including rock crevices, tree hollows, logs and termite mounds. It favours rocky areas, taking refuge in rock crevices, and utilises gullies and drainage lines.

It is important to note that much of the ecological information for the Northern Quoll comes from studies in the Top End of the Northern Territory (e.g. Begg 1981; Oakwood 2002). Much of their ecology is likely to be similar in the Pilbara; however, differences in genetic structure and some demographic parameters have been observed (How et al., 2009).

The Northern Quoll has a relatively large home-range size of up to 150 ha for males (35 ha for females). Movements between den sites on consecutive nights can be up to 1.85 km for males (Oakwood 2002). In the Northern Territory, mating occurs in late May to



June and all males die after the mating season and females rear the young alone (Oakwood 2000). The young spend about 2 months in the pouch and are then left in a succession of nursery dens for the next 3 months for periods at night while the mother forages (Oakwood 2000). In the Kimberley, Schmitt et al. (1989) found that breeding occurred in July and August. However, at Woodstock Station in the Pilbara, breeding occurred in September, a month later than the Kimberley (How et al., 2009). This variation in time of breeding across three distinct populations indicates some reproductive flexibility in the species.

The Project area contained areas of rock piles and rock outcropping suitable for denning. Individuals were located and recorded on camera traps (Plate 1), at four locations in the Project area (Figure 7).

5.8.1 Species Considered Likely To Occur

Four species were considered as likely to occur in the Project area; the Lined Soil-Crevice Skink, the Pilbara Olive Python, the Australian Bustard and the Northern Short-tailed Mouse.

Lined Soil-crevice Skink

The Lined Soil-crevice Skink is listed as a Priority 4 species under the DPaW priority list. This species has a restricted distribution to near coastal areas in the Dampier region of the Pilbara. Habitat includes stony areas dominated by spinifex near creek and river margins (Cogger 2013). Given the known distribution and habitat, it is considered likely that the Lined Soil-crevice Skink occurs in the Project area.

Pilbara Olive Python

The Pilbara Olive Python is listed as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and is classified as Schedule 1 under the WC Act. The Pilbara Olive Python occurs in the ranges of the



Pilbara typically in ranges, escarpments, gorges and water holes (Pearson 1993, 2003. This large python is threatened because it has a small distribution, occurs in low population densities and may be affected by habitat disturbance such as grazing and fire. Although the home range of this species has not been intensively studied, radio tracking has shown that they have large home ranges of 87 - 449 ha, with males having larger home ranges than females (Tutt et al. 2004). This species is known to frequent water bodies where it ambushes prey (Pearson 1993). This species is extremely difficult to detect and as a consequence difficult to survey for due to its cryptic nature (primarily nocturnal and a sit and wait predator).

Microhabitat preferences of the Pilbara Olive Python are under rock piles, on top of rocks or under spinifex (Tutt et al. 2004). The Project area consisted of rocky Dolomite and Ironstone outcrops and various Spinifex species, known habitat for the Pilbara Olive Python. Therefore the Pilbara Olive Python is considered likely to occur in the Project area, as it contains suitable foraging habitat and potential shelter sites.

AAustralian Bustard

This species is listed as Priority 4 under the DPaW priority list. The Australian Bustard is a large highly-mobile mostly nomadic bird that occurs widely over the majority of northern and central Australia with a preference for open habitats, ranging from open grassland plains to low shrublands and grassy open woodlands (Barrett et al. 2003; Ziembicki 2010). The Australian Bustard is known to be most abundant in the Pilbara and the savannas of northern Australia (Ziembicki and Woinarski, 2007).

The abundance of this species varies according to habitat and season, in particular the abundance of grasshoppers. Habitat loss has led to a decline in this species in the Pilbara (Johnstone and Storr 1998). It is a highly mobile species, which appears to be irruptive in relation to rainfall patterns and bushfires (Ziembicki 2010). Therefore, any disturbances to habitats in the Project area are unlikely to significantly impact the population status of this species in a local or regional context.

Northern Short-tailed Mouse

The Northern Short-tailed Mouse is listed as Priority 4 under the DPaW priority list. This species has a broad distribution across much of northern Australia and occurs in a range of habitat types, including spinifex and Acacia on seasonally inundated sandy-clay soils as well as sandy soils and cracking clays to build burrows which they shelter in during the day (Van Dyck and Strahan 2008). In the Pilbara it occurs on stony hummock grassland. It is generally rare, with scattered populations, and very little is known of its biology (Van Dyck and Strahan 2008). Therefore, any disturbances to habitats in the Project area are unlikely to significantly impact the population status of this species in a local or regional context.



55.8.2 Species Considered as Possibly Occurring

Four species were considered as possibly occurring, the Flock Bronzewing, Bush Stone-curlew, Barn Swallow and the Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat.

Flock Bronzewing

The Flock Bronzewing is listed as Priority 4 under the DPaW priority list and is only a casual visitor, primarily to coastal areas, although the species may appear as a vagrant in inland areas on an irregular basis. It is typically observed in the vicinity of urban water bodies and coastal wetlands. Based on this distribution, is considered possible that the Flock Bronzewing will occur in the Project area; however, any disturbance in the Project area is unlikely to impact the population status of this species in a local or regional context.

Bush Stone-curlew

The Bush Stone-curlew occurs across much of Australia and inhabits a broad range of habitats including dry open woodlands, but may prefer habitat near drainage lines or wetlands (Geering et al. 2007). In the areas where the fox occurs the Bush Stone-curlews population has been reduced and it is now locally extinct in the southern section of Western Australia (Johnstone and Storr 1998). However, the northern populations of this species have remained largely intact with no suggestion of decline (Garnett et al. 2011).

The extensive and similar habitat in the surrounding area, make it unlikely that the Bush Stone-curlew will be significantly affected by any disturbance in the Project area.

Barn Swallow

The Barn Swallow is only a casual visitor primarily to coastal areas from the Gascoyne north, although the species may appear as a vagrant in inland areas on an irregular basis. It is typically observed in the vicinity of urban water bodies and coastal wetlands.

Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat

The Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat is dependent on caves and mines with very hot and humid roost sites (28-320C and 96-100% humidity) during the dry season (Armstrong 2000; Churchill 2008). Without these conditions, Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bats are susceptible to dehydration and hypothermia and can die within a few hours (Churchill 2008). Caves and mines, which have these specific characteristics, are uncommon. Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bats have been recorded in isolated populations in the Pilbara, and are present only where suitable roosting sites are available.



The Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat was not recorded during the survey and no suitable roosting habitat was found. Given the habitat specificity of the species, it is possible the bat utilises the site for foraging, but it is unlikely that it roosts in the Project area. Therefore, any disturbances to habitats in the Project area are unlikely to significantly impact the population status of this species in a local or regional context.

55.8.3 Species Considered as Unlikely to Occur

Five species of conservation significance are considered unlikely to occur in the Project area: The Airlie Island Ctenotus, the Fork Tailed Swift, the Bilby, the Northern Marsupial Mole and the Western Pebble-mouse.

Airlie Island Ctenotus

The Airlie Island Ctenotus is listed as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and as S1 under the WC Act and is known from only about 12 localities in WA, from Airlie Island to Roebuck Bay which is approximately 800 km apart (Turpin and Ford 2011). However, nearly all records come from coastal locations adjacent to samphire shrubland in the intertidal zone along mangrove margins - this habitat is not present in the Project area.

Fork-tailed Swift

The Fork-tailed Swift is listed as migratory under the EPBC Act and as S4 under the WC Act. It is a non-breeding visitor to all states and territories of Australia (Higgins 1999). The Fork-tailed Swift is a summer migrant to Australia usually during the months of October-April. The Fork-tailed Swift is an aerial species which forages high above the tree canopy and is independent of terrestrial habitats. It occurs in flocks of up to 2,000 birds and is often seen accompanying Tree Martins and Masked Wood swallows (Johnstone and Storr 1998). In the Pilbara, however, they are considered to be uncommon to moderately common, and are typically attracted to thunderstorms and passing cyclones. Consequently, it will not be reliant on habitats of the Project area but could possibly fly above.

Bilby

Before European settlement the Bilby was found on over 70% of the Australian mainland; the species now only occurs in less than 20% of its former range (Southgate 1990). Wild Bilby populations are now restricted predominantly to the Tanami Desert, Northern Territory (Johnson & Southgate 1990), the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts, Western Australia (Friend 1990), and an outlying population between Boulia and Birdsville in south-west Queensland (Gordon et al. 1990). As a result the Bilby is listed as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and as S1 under the WC Act

Extant populations of the Bilby occur in a variety of habitats, usually on landforms with level to low slope topography and light to medium soils. It occupies three major vegetation types; open tussock grassland on uplands and hills, mulga woodland/shrubland growing on ridges and rises, and hummock grassland in plains and



alluvial areas (Southgate 1990). Laterite and rock feature substrates are an important part of Greater Bilby habitat, which support shrub species such as Acacia, and Spinifex hummocks which are quite uniform and discrete, providing runways between hummocks, enabling easier movement and foraging (Southgate et al. 2007).

Acacia and Spinifex were both recorded in the Project area and as such provides suitable foraging habitat and shelter, however due to lack of recent records, the Bilby is considered to be unlikely to occur in the Project area.

NNorthern Marsupial Mole

The Northern Marsupial Mole lives underground, primarily in sand dunes and sandy soils along river flats. It occasionally comes to the surface, apparently more frequently after rain (Maxwell et al. 1996). The vegetation in Northern Marsupial Mole habitat is generally Acacia spp., small shrubs and Desert Oak (Allocasuarina decaisneana) and often (but not always) associated with spinifex (Triodia spp.). Sandy river flats are also thought to be potential Northern Marsupial Mole habitat, as they are rich in food resources and may act as dispersal corridors (Benshemesh 2004).

Northern Marsupial Mole cannot safely travel far over hard ground, so connectivity of dune habitat is likely to be important for maintaining the species' range and successful dispersal. Underground signs are generally found between 20-100 cm below the dune surface.

The absence of any records of the Northern Marsupial Mole in the area and lack of suitable sand dune habitat suggest it is unlikely to occur in the study area.

Western Pebble-mouse

The Western Pebble-mouse is commonly found on low hills and gentle slopes that are covered in small pebbles and stones, often vegetated by hard spinifex. The mounds, created by this species are from stones and pebbles, are distinct and are used by successive generations of mice (Van Dyck and Strahan 2008). Active mounds are characterised by the conical shape of the mound with clear, distinct entrance holes (Anstee 1996).

Although suitable habitat is intermittent, populations of the Western Pebble-mouse can be found throughout the Pilbara. Colonies occur on the gentler slopes of rocky ranges, where the ground is covered by spinifex and scattered shrubs, typically Acacia. Pebble mounds are often close to narrow areas of Acacia-dominated scrub that grows along incised drainage lines mounds (Van Dyck and Strahan 2008).

The Western Pebble Mouse was historically found nearer the coast; however, they are declining, possibly as a result of fox predation and exotic herbivores. Consequently, it is unlikely to occur in the Project area.



66 Assessment of Findings Against the 10 Clearing Principles

Any clearing of native vegetation requires a permit under Part V Division 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act), except where an exemption applies under Schedule 6 of the EP Act, or where the clearing is prescribed by regulations in the Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004. Exemptions do not apply in an ESA.

PRINCIPLE A - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT COMPRISES A HIGH LEVEL OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY

The flora and vegetation survey 144 taxa (including species, subspecies, varieties and forms) from 87 genera and 38 families were recorded in the Project area. An average 21.1 taxa from the 32 quadrats was recorded. The majority of vegetation ranged from Very Good to Excellent condition for the Project area.

GHD undertook a survey in Karratha area in 2011 and recorded 199 taxa from approximately 2,550 ha (GHD 2011) compared to 144 taxa from 846 ha for the current survey. This is comparable to the current survey given the slightly larger size of the GHD Project area.

No flora Threatened species pursuant to the EPBC Act and/or gazetted as Threatened (DRF) pursuant to the WC Act were recorded in the study area. One species, Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) listed as Priority 3 Flora by the DPaW were recorded in the Project area

The vegetation association recorded in the Project area do not represent occurrences of a TEC. Vegetation association 2a is analogous to the Priority 3 Ecological Community, The Horseflat Land System of the Roebourne Plains. Vegetation 2a represent 10.35 ha or 1.22% of the Project area.

Assessed Outcome: The study area is considered to be of moderate biological diversity condition and may be at variance with Principle A.

PRINCIPLE B - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT COMPRISES THE WHOLE OR A PART OF, OR IS NECESSARY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF, A SIGNIFICANT HABITAT FOR FAUNA INDIGENOUS TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The Threatened Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) and migratory listed Rainbow Bee-eater (Merops ornatus) were recorded in the Project area.

The Rainbow Bee-eater is listed as Migratory under the EPBC Act and WC Act. This species is one of the most common and widespread birds in Australia with a distribution that covers the majority of Australia (Barrett et al. 2003). Given it widespread



distribution, the project is unlikely to impact on this species at a local scale but particularly not a regional scale..

The Northern Quoll is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act and Schedule 1 under the WC Act. The Project area contained areas of core habitat, including rock piles and rock outcropping suitable for denning. The Northern Quoll was recorded on camera traps at four locations in the Project area during the survey.

A further Four species of conservation significant species are considered ‘Likely’ to occur: Lined Soil-crevice Skink (Notoscincus butleri), Pilbara Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus barroni), Australian Bustard (Ardeotis australis) and Northern Short-tailed Mouse (Leggadina lakedownensis).

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing in the study area is likely to be at variance with Principle B.

PPRINCIPLE C - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT INCLUDES, OR IS NECESSARY FOR THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF, RARE FLORA

No Threatened species pursuant to the EPBC Act and/or gazetted as DRF (Threatened) pursuant to the WC Act were recorded in the study area.

A total of 22 Priority taxa list by DPaW were identified as potentially occurring in the Project area. Of these 22 taxa, one was recorded and three are considered likely to occur in the Project area. The remaining 18 taxa were considered either possible (three taxa) or unlikely (15 taxa) to occur in the Project area.

The Priority 3 Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) was recorded from a single location in vegetation unit 1b. Vigna sp. rockpiles (R. Butcher et al. RB 1400) is a small slender vine known from 14 records at the WAH. It has been recorded growing from rock piles and rock outcropping in the greater Karratha area (WAH 2014).

No DRF species were identified in the desktop assessment as potentially occurring in the Project area.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing in the study area will not impact upon any known Threatened flora and is not likely to be at variance with Principle C.

PRINCIPLE D - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT COMPRISES THE WHOLE OR A PART OF, OR IS NECESSARY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF A THREATENED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY

No vegetation associations identified in the Project area are analogous to any known TECs and no TECs were recorded as occurring in the vicinity during the desktop assessment.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle D.



PPRINCIPLE E - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT IS SIGNIFICANT AS A REMNANT OF NATIVE VEGETATION IN AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY CLEARED

The Project area is mapped as Shepherd/Beard units 157 (t3Hi) and 589 (xGc/t1Hi). Unit 157 (t3Hi) was estimated to have 99.32% of its native vegetation remaining with 17.95% in secure tenure. Unit 589 (xGc/t1Hi) was estimated to have 99.38% of its native vegetation remaining with 1.59% in secure tenure (DPaW 2012).

Both Shepherd/Beard units are considered to be well represented with both having their current extent well above the 30% threshold set by the EPA.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle E.

PRINCIPLE F - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF IT IS GROWING IN, OR IN ASSOCIATION WITH, AN ENVIRONMENT ASSOCIATED WITH A WATERCOURSE OR WETLAND

The Project area does not contain any significant watercourses or wetlands that support native vegetation. Minor Drainage lines and creeks occur in the Project area but do not contain any significant groundwater dependant species.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle F.

PRINCIPLE G - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF THE CLEARING OF THE VEGETATION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE APPRECIABLE LAND DEGRADATION

Land degradation includes clearing of vegetation, decline in vegetation condition due to weeds and changes in natural fire regimes, and a decline in soil condition caused by wind and water erosion. Clearing of native vegetation has the potential to cause soil erosion; the Horseflat land system is considered at risk of erosion with some units of the system (non-gilgaied plains, alluvial plains and dissected slopes, units 4, 5 and 6) being moderately to highly susceptible to erosion if vegetation is depleted. This can be mitigated through effective control measures.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle G.

PRINCIPLE H - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF THE CLEARING OF THE VEGETATION IS LIKELY TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES OF ANY ADJACENT OR NEARBY CONSERVATION AREA

The nearest conservation area is C class Reserve 32144 located 10 km north east of the Project area. The clearing of the vegetation in the Project area will not result in the fragmentation or degradation of this reserve or any other conservation estate.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle H.



PPRINCIPLE I - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF THE CLEARING OF THE VEGETATION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DETERIORATION IN THE QUALITY OF SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND WATER

The proposed vegetation clearing would be unlikely to cause deterioration in the quality of surface water or underground water. The majority of vegetation in the Project area is shallow rooted and the removal of it is unlikely to significantly impact groundwater levels.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing is unlikely to be at variance with Principle I.

PRINCIPLE J - NATIVE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED IF THE CLEARING OF THE VEGETATION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE, OR EXACERBATE, THE INCIDENCE OR INTENSITY OF FLOODING

The scale of the proposed clearing is unlikely cause increased runoff or alter any major water courses. As such it will not cause or exacerbate flooding. However, the clearing should be considered in the context of past, present and future clearings in the locality.

Assessed Outcome: The proposed clearing in the Project area is unlikely to be at variance with Principle J.

88 Limitations

This report is produced strictly in accordance with the scope of services set out in the contract or otherwise agreed in accordance with the contract. 360 Environmental makes no representations or warranties in relation to the nature and quality of soil and water other than the visual observation and analytical data in this report.

In the preparation of this report, 360 Environmental has relied upon documents, information, data and analyses (“client’s information”) provided by the client and other individuals and entities. In most cases where client’s information has been relied upon, such reliance has been indicated in this report. Unless expressly set out in this report, 360 Environmental has not verified that the client’s information is accurate, exhaustive or current and the validity and accuracy of any aspect of the report including, or based upon, any part of the client’s information is contingent upon the accuracy, exhaustiveness and currency of the client’s information. 360 Environmental shall not be liable to the client or any other person in connection with any invalid or inaccurate aspect of this report where that invalidity or inaccuracy arose because the client’s information was not accurate, exhaustive and current or arose because of any information or condition that was concealed, withheld, misrepresented, or otherwise not fully disclosed or available to 360 Environmental.

Aspects of this report, including the opinions, conclusions and recommendations it contains, are based on the results of the investigation, sampling and testing set out in the contract and otherwise in accordance with normal practices and standards. The investigation, sampling and testing are designed to produce results that represent a reasonable interpretation of the general conditions of the site that is the subject of this report. However, due to the characteristics of the site, including natural variations in site conditions, the results of the investigation, sampling and testing may not accurately represent the actual state of the whole site at all points.

It is important to recognise that site conditions, including the extent and concentration of contaminants, can change with time. This is particularly relevant if this report, including the data, opinions, conclusions and recommendations it contains, are to be used a considerable time after it was prepared. In these circumstances, further investigation of the site may be necessary.

Subject to the terms of the contract between the Client and 360 Environmental Pty Ltd, copying, reproducing, disclosing or disseminating parts of this report is prohibited (except to the extent required by law) unless the report is produced in its entirety including this page, without the prior written consent of 360 Environmental Pty Ltd.

AAPPENDIX A Definition of Declared Rare / Priority / Threatened Flora and

Fauna Species



CCategories of Declared Rare Flora (WC act) and Priority listings (DPaW)

COONSERVATION CCODE

DESCRIPTION

X Presumed Extinct Flora (Declared Rare Flora –– EExtinct) “Taxa which have been adequately searched for and there is no reasonable doubt that the last individual has died, and have been gazetted as such (Schedule 2 under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950).”

T Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora –– EExtant) “Taxa which have been adequately searched for and are deemed to be in the wild either rare, in danger of extinction, or otherwise in need of special protection, and have been gazetted as such (Schedule 1 under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950).” “Threatened Flora (Schedule 1) are further ranked by the Department according to their level of threat using IUCN Red List criteria: CR: Critically Endangered – considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild; EN: Endangered – considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild; VU: Vulnerable – considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.”

P1 Priority One: Poorly--known taxa “Taxa which are known from one or a few collections or sight records (generally less than five), all on lands not managed for conservation, e.g. agricultural or pastoral lands, urban areas, Shire, Westrail and Main Roads WA road, gravel and soil reserves, and active mineral leases and under threat of habitat destruction or degradation. Taxa may be included if they are comparatively well known from one or more localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and appear to be under immediate threat from known threatening processes.”

P2 Priority Two: Poorly--known taxa “Taxa which are known from one or a few collections or sight records, some of which are on lands not under imminent threat of habitat destruction or degradation, e.g. national parks, conservation parks, nature reserves, State forest, vacant Crown Land, water reserves, etc. Taxa may be included if they are comparatively well known from one or more localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and appear to be under threat from known threatening processes.”

P3 Priority Three: Poorly--known taxa “Taxa which are known from collections or sight records from several localities not under imminent threat, or few but widespread localities with either large population size or significant remaining areas of apparently suitable habitat, much of it not under imminent threat. Taxa may be included if they are comparatively well known from several localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and known threatening processes exist that could affect them.”



PP4 PPriority Four: Rare, Near Threatened and other taxa in need of monitoring a. Rare. “Taxa which are considered to have been adequately surveyed, or for which sufficient knowledge is available, and that are considered not currently threatened or in need of special protection, but could be if present circumstances change. These taxa are usually represented on conservation lands.” b. Near Threatened. “Taxa that are considered to have been adequately surveyed and that do not qualify for Conservation Dependent, but that are close to qualifying for Vulnerable.” c. “Taxa that have been removed from the list of threatened species during the past five years for reasons other than taxonomy.”

PP5 PPriority Five: Conservation Dependent taxa “Taxa that are not threatened but are subject to a specific conservation program, the cessation of which would result in the taxon becoming threatened within five years.”

DEESCRIPTION

Ex

Extinct Taxa which at a particular time if, at the time, there is no reasonable doubt that the last member of the species has died.

ExW Extinct in the Wild Taxa which is known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalised population well outside its past range; or it has not been recorded in its known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate seasons, anywhere in its past range, despite exhaustive surveys over a time frame appropriate to its life cycle and form.

CE Critically Endangered Taxa which at a particular time, it is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

E Endangered Taxa which is not critically endangered and it is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

V Vulnerable Taxa which is not critically endangered or endangered and is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

CD Conservation Dependent Taxa which at a particular time if, at that time, the species is the focus of a specific conservation program, the cessation of which would result in the species becoming vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered within a period of 5 years.

AAPPENDIX B Definition of Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities



Definitions of Threatened Ecological Communities as Endorsed by the Western Australian Minister for the Environment

PPresumed Totally Destroyed (PD)

An ecological community will be listed as presumed totally destroyed if there are no recent

records of the community being extant and either of the following applies (A or B);

A) Records within the last 50 years have not been confirmed despite thorough searches

or known or likely habitats or

B) All occurrences recorded within the last 50 years have since been destroyed.

Critically Endangered (CR)

An ecological community will be listed as Critically Endangered when it has been adequately

surveyed and is found to be facing an extremely high risk of total destruction in the immediate

future. This will be determined on the basis of the best available information, by it meeting any

one or more of the following criteria (A, B or C):

A) The estimated geographic range, and/or total area occupied, and/or number of

discrete occurrences since European settlement have been reduced by at least 90%

and either or both of the following apply (i or ii)

i) geographic range, and/or total area occupied and/or number of discrete occurrences

are continuing to decline such that total destruction of the community is imminent

(within approximately 5 years)

ii) modification throughout its range is continuing such that in the immediate future

(within approximately 5 years) the community is unlikely to be capable of being

substantially rehabilitated.

B) Current distribution is limited, and one or more of the following apply (i, ii or iii):

i) geographic range and/or number of discrete occurrences, and/or area occupied is

highly restricted and the community is currently subject to known threatening

processes which are likely to result in total destruction throughout its range in the

immediate future (within approximately 5 years)

ii) there are very few occurrences, each of which is small and/or isolated and extremely

vulnerable to known threatening processes

iii) there may be many occurrences but total area is very small and each occurrence is

small and/or isolated and extremely vulnerable to known threatening processes

C) The ecological community exists only as highly modified occurrences which may be

capable of being rehabilitated if such work begins in the immediate future (within

approximately 5 years)

Endangered (EN)

An ecological community will be listed as Endangered when it has been adequately surveyed and

is not Critically Endangered but is facing a very high risk of total destruction in the near future.

This will be determined on the basis of the best available information, by it meeting any one or

more of the following criteria (A, B or C):

A) The estimated geographic range, and/or total area occupied, and/or number of

discrete occurrences since European settlement have been reduced by at least 70%

and either or both of the following apply (i or ii)



i) geographic range, and/or total area occupied and/or number of discrete occurrences

are continuing to decline such that total destruction of the community is likely in the

short term (within approximately 10 years)

ii) modification throughout its range is continuing such that in the short term future

(within approximately 10 years) the community is unlikely to be capable of being

substantially restored or rehabilitated.

B) Current distribution is limited, and one or more of the following apply (i, ii or iii):

i) geographic range and/or number of discrete occurrences, and/or area occupied is

highly restricted and the community is currently subject to known threatening

processes which are likely to result in total destruction throughout its range in the

short term future (within approximately 10 years)

ii) there are very few occurrences, each of which is small and/or isolated and extremely

vulnerable to known threatening processes

iii) there may be many occurrences but total area is very small and each occurrence is

small and/or isolated and extremely vulnerable to known threatening processes

C) The ecological community exists only as highly modified occurrences which may be

capable of being rehabilitated if such work begins in the short term future (within

approximately 10 years).

VVulnerable (VU)

An ecological community will be listed as Vulnerable when it has been adequately surveyed and is

not Critically Endangered or Endangered but is facing a high risk of total destruction in the

medium to long term future. This will be determined on the basis of the best available information,

by it meeting any one or more of the following criteria (A, B or C):

A) The ecological community exists largely as modified occurrences which are likely to

be capable of being substantially restored or rehabilitated.

B) The ecological community can be modified or destroyed and would be vulnerable to

threatening processes, is restricted in area and/or range and/or is only found at a

few locations.

C) The ecological community may still be widespread but is believed likely to move into a

category of higher threat in the medium to long term future because of existing or

impending threatening processes.

Criteria for Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities. Department of Environment and Conservation, Perth, Western Australia. Online: www.naturebase.net/



Definitions of Priority Ecological Communities as listed DPaW

Possible threatened ecological communities that do not meet survey criteria or that are not

adequately defined are added to the Priority Ecological Community Lists under Priorities 1, 2 and

3. These three categories are ranked in order of priority for survey and/or definition of the

community, and evaluation of conservation status, so that consideration can be given to their

declaration as threatened ecological communities. Ecological Communities that are adequately

known, and are rare but not threatened or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been

recently removed from the threatened list, are placed in Priority 4. These ecological communities

require regular monitoring. Conservation Dependent ecological communities are placed in Priority

5.

PPriority One: Poorly known ecological communities

Ecological communities with apparently few, small occurrences, all or most not actively managed

for conservation (e.g. within agricultural or pastoral lands, urban areas, active mineral leases) and

for which current threats exist. Communities may be included if they are comparatively well

known from one or more localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements, and/or are

not well defined, and appear to be under immediate threat from known threatening processes

across their range.

Priority Two: PPoorly known ecological communities

Communities that are known from few small occurrences, all or most of which are actively

managed for conservation (e.g. within national parks, conservation parks, nature reserves, State

forest, unallocated Crown land, water reserves, etc.) and not under imminent threat of

destruction or degradation.

Communities may be included if they are comparatively well known from one or more localities

but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements, and/or are not well defined, and appear to be

under threat from known threatening processes.

Priority Three: Poorly known ecological communities

(i) Communities that are known from several to many occurrences, a significant number

or area of which are not under threat of habitat destruction or degradation or:

(ii) Communities known from a few widespread occurrences, which are either large or

within significant remaining areas of habitat in which other occurrences may occur,

much of it not under imminent threat, or;

(iii) Communities made up of large, and/or widespread occurrences, that may or not be

represented in the reserve system, but are under threat of modification across much

of their range from processes such as grazing by domestic and/or feral stock, and

inappropriate fire regimes.



Communities may be included if they are comparatively well known from several localities but do

not meet adequacy of survey requirements and/or are not well defined, and known threatening

processes exist that could affect them.

PPriority Four: Ecological communities that are adequately known, rare but not threatened or meet

criteria for Near Threatened or that have been recently removed from the threatened list.

These communities require regular monitoring.

(a) Rare. Ecological communities known from few occurrences that are considered to

have been adequately surveyed, or for which sufficient knowledge is available, and

that are considered not currently threatened or in need of special protection, but

could be if present circumstances change. These communities are usually

represented on conservation lands.

(b) Near Threatened. Ecological communities that are considered to have been

adequately surveyed and that do not qualify for Conservation Dependent, but that

are close to qualifying for Vulnerable.

(c) Ecological communities that have been removed from the list of threatened

communities during the past five years.

Priority Five: Conservation Dependent ecological communities.

Ecological communities that are not threatened but are subject to a specific conservation

program, the cessation of which would result in the community becoming threatened within five

years.

AAPPENDIX C Environmental Weeds and Declared Plant Categories



Criteria used for Ranking Environmental Weeds

The Weed Prioritisation Process for DPaW contains criteria for the assessment and ranking of

weeds in terms of their environmental impact on biodiversity. These criteria are as follows:

PPotential Distribution – Area of potential habitat in the Region that could be occupied or the area at risk of invasion by the weed.

Current Distribution - Area of habitat in the Region currently occupied by the weed, in relation to the habitat that it could invade.

Ecological Impact - Impact of species within the Region, from low impact (causes minimal disruption to ecological processes or loss of biodiversity) to high (causes acute disruption of ecological processes, dominates and/or significantly alters vegetation structure, composition and function of ecosystems).

Invasiveness – rate of spread of a weed in native vegetative, encompassing factors of establishment, reproduction and long distance dispersal (>100m).

Feasibility of Control - The longer a coordinated control program takes to achieve its desired goal, the more expensive and less feasible it becomes. Is it feasible to eradicate or at least contain the infestation?

Source: DPaW (2013). Weed Prioritisation Process for DPaW (formerly DEC) – “An integrated approach to Weed Management on DPaW-managed lands in WA”

Standard Meanings of Declared Plant Categories

Under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 (the BAM Act), all declared pests

are placed in one of three categories, namely C1 (exclusion), C2 (eradication) or C3

(management).

C1 category (Exclusion) - Pests will be assigned to this category if they are not established in

Western Australia and control measures are to be taken, including border checks, in order to

prevent them entering and establishing in the State.

C2 category (Eradication) – Pests will be assigned to this category if they are present in Western

Australia in low enough numbers or in sufficiently limited areas that their eradication is still a

possibility.

C3 category (Management) – Pests will be assigned to this category if they are established in

Western Australia but it is feasible, or desirable, to manage them in order to limit their damage.

Control measures can prevent a C3 pest from increasing in population size or density or moving

from an area in which it is established into an area which currently is free of that pest.

AAPPENDIX D Vegetation Condition Scale



CCOONDITION SSCCALE CCOODE

CCOONDITION SSCCALE

EE EExcellent ((1) Pristine or nearly so, no obvious signs of damage caused by the activities of European man.

VVG VVery Good (2) Some relatively slight signs of damage caused by the activities of European man, e.g. some signs of damage to tree trunks caused by repeated fire and the presence of some relatively non-aggressive weeds or occasional vehicle tracks.

GG GGood (3) More obvious signs of damage caused by the activities of European man, including some obvious impact on the vegetation structure such as caused by low levels of grazing. Weeds as above, possibly plus some more aggressive ones.

PP PPoor ((4) Still retains basic vegetation structure or ability to regenerate to it after very obvious impacts of activities of European man such as grazing or partial clearing (chaining) or very frequent fires. Weeds as above, probably plus some more aggressive species.

VVP VVery Poor ((5) Severely impacted by grazing, fire, clearing or a combination of these activities. Scope for some regeneration but, not to a state approaching good condition without intensive management. Usually with a number of weed species including aggressive species.

CCD CCompletely Degraded (6) Areas that are completely or almost completely without native species in the structure of their vegetation, e.g. areas that are cleared or “parkland cleared” with their flora comprising weed or crop species with isolated native trees or shrubs.

1 For NatureMap's purposes, species flagged as endemic are those whose records are wholely contained within the search area. Note that only those records complying with the search criterion are included in thecalculation. For example, if you limit records to those from a specific datasource, only records from that datasource are used to determine if a species is restricted to the query area.

- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites

- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a generalguide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from thedata is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to considerthe qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived fromrecovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatenedecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location dataare used to produce indicative distribution maps.

- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continentSuch breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plansand detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicatedunder 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collatedfrom government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimaticdistribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps arebased solely on expert knowledge.

The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged atthe end of the report.
