Revised M emo to IM 12 D ec 08 DRAFT .doc Date: 12 December 2008 To: Josephine Wang - International Minerals From: Chris Coffey - URS Subject: Balmoral South Iron Ore Project PER - Task 1 a. Dear Josephine, This revised memo has been prepared to address Task 1.a of URS’ proposal dated 5 December 2008, and the subsequent International Mineral’s Authority to Commence Works dated 9 December 2008. It follows my previous memo, and has been revised in the context of providing information to be included in IM’s response table to the EPA regarding issues raised in the original PER. TASK Task 1.a requires URS to provide further empirical or scientific justification to the following statement within the PER (p 7-33): “it is considered most unlikely that the construction and operation of the outfall will seriously disrupt the lifecycle of an ecologically significant proportion of the population of either dugongs or turtles”. Additional Information The Cape Preston area has not been identified to support an ecologically significant proportion of the population of either dugongs or turtles within the Pilbara region. Furthermore, given the fact that disturbances from operation and construction will be localised, it is very unlikely they will have any significant impact on dugongs and turtles that do use the area. This is based on the following information: Population studies of Dugongs in the Pilbara region undertaken in the 1980’s identified that the greatest dugong concentrations occurred in areas between Middle and North Mangrove Islands, Regnard Bay, Nickol Bay and the Dampier Archipelago. Follow up surveys in April 2000 estimated population numbers to be 2046 (±s.e. 376) dugongs, at an average density of 0.10 dugongs per km². This study also confirmed that the greatest populations occurred in those areas reported in the 1980’s study (Marsh, et.al 2002). Benthic Habitat mapping undertaken by URS has confirmed that the Cape Preston area does not contain habitat considered significant for dugongs, which includes large expanses of shallow water with dense seagrass meadows. A report by Pendoley Environmental to URS stated that snap shot surveys undertaken over three separate turtle nesting seasons (2000/01 02/03, 04/05) identified that during these seasons very limited nesting was taking place on Cape Preston. These results showed that nesting effort was clearly less intense than other areas surveyed, including Cowrie Beach and Mundabullangana Station. Pendoley Environmental also reported that although green turtles have been observed to use the near-shore algal-rock benthic community as feeding habitat, no mating activity has been observed.

The environmental effects of brine discharge on dugongs, turtles or other large marine fauna have not been studied at other desalinisation plants. However, there is no information available that suggests brine discharge will have a negative effect on dugong or turtle health. Furthermore, there are many examples of dugongs and turtles living in sea areas with elevated salinities. Dugongs and marine turtles are large, highly mobile animals in relation to the size of the brine mixing zone proposed. Because of their mobility, it is expected that exposure to environmental conditions within the mixing zone, even if they were to be adverse, will be minimal. REFERENCES Marsh, H., H. Penrose, C.

This Proposal outlines key elements required for the construction and operation of the facility. Following amendments toe th Iron Ore Processing (Mineralogy Pty Ltd) Agreement Act 2002 (IOPAA) in 2008, an area of land to the east of Cape Preston was set aside by the State Government for the purposes of port development (C Barnett, Hansard 4 December 2008). This area has been selected by IOH as the preferred location for development of iron ore export facilities. The location is known as Cape Preston East (CPE) (Figure E1). IOH proposes to be the foundation proponent to develop the initial iron ore export facilities at CPE. The scope of the Proposal covers the export facilities which are defined as the infrastructure to the north of the North West Coastal Highway required for iron ore export. The mining and haulage of ore has been submitted as a separate proposal for EPA assessment to facilitate the likely transfer of proponency to the Dampier Port Authority (DPA) upon completion of construction of the Proposal.

Cross-shelf marine systems exhibit pronounced and persistent gradients in environmental conditions; however, these gradients are not always reliable predictors of coral distribution or the degree of stress that corals are experiencing. This study used information from government, industry and scientific datasets spanning 1980–2017, to explore temporal trends in coral cover in the geographically complex system of the Dampier Archipelago, northwest Australia.

Our oceans play a massive role in Australian life – they provide us with fish to eat, a place to fish, business and tourism opportunities and a place for families to enjoy. Australians know, better than anyone, how important it is that our oceans remain healthy and sustainable. Right now, our iconic marine environment is coming under more and more pressure from industry, from pollution and, increasingly, from climate change. That is why the Australian Government has committed to creating a network of Commonwealth marine reserves around the country.

  • Dampier Archipelago/ Cape Preston
    Dampier Archipelago/ Cape Preston Regional Perspective 2000 Sue Osborne, Kevin Bancroft, Nick D’Adamo and Lauren Monks Marine Conservation Branch Department of Conservation and Land Management 47 Henry Street Fremantle Western Australia 6160 SUMMARY The Western Australian Government is committed to the establishment of a statewide system of multiple-use marine conservation reserves under the Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Act 1984. These reserves will both protect the diverse and valuable natural and cultural heritage values of our coastal environment and provide a framework for sustainable management of commercial and recreational activities. One of the areas that has been identified for further consideration as a marine conservation reserve is the Dampier Archipelago to Cape Preston region. The Dampier Archipelago to Cape Preston region is located in the warm, near-shore waters of the Pilbara coast. Physical environments within the region encompass a cross section of sheltered conditions with turbid waters and fine sediments adjacent to the mainland coast, to exposed conditions and clear waters around the offshore islands and reefs. Because of this diversity of habitats, the area supports many natural communities including mangroves, algal meadows, sandy beaches, submerged soft sediment communities, coral reefs, diverse invertebrate communities, rocky shores and rocky reefs. The area is characterised by a high diversity and abundance of marine plants and animals. The region provides habitat and nesting sites for marine turtles and is of particular importance to hawksbill turtles. The Western Australian population of hawksbill turtles is the only large population of hawksbills remaining in the entire Indian Ocean and Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago is by far their largest rookery in the State.
