In addition to the upgrade of the access roads, several gravel pits have been identified both inside and out side of the FRNP. These gravel pits are required for road base building material. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was engaged to undertake flora and vegetation survey and fauna assessment. The purpose of the study is to provide necessary biological survey information to support clearing remnant vegetation to within the footprint of the proposed works as required. The Project Study Areas are broadly defined as: 20m either side of a 5km section of the existing Point Ann Road at the eastern end of the road (Point Ann Section 2); 20m either side of a 5km section of Collets Road from the western boundary of the FRNP (Collets Road Section 1); A realignment of the intersection at Devils Creek Road and Collets Road (Devils Creek/Collets Road Intersection); A realignment of the intersection at Collets Road and Point Ann Road (Collets/Point Ann Road Intersection); Two gravel pits within the FRNP (MRWA Gravel Pits 1, 3); and Three gravel pits outside of the FRNP in the vicinity of Swamp Road (Shire Pits 1a, 3b, 4 & 9). Flora and fauna investigations of the above study areas were conducted between the 11th and 16th of October 2010 and the 15th and 16th of November 2010. The results of the assessment are summarised below: Flora Survey Over 300 species of vascular flora were identified as occurring in the study areas. 17 Vegetation units were identified within the study areas. Of the seven (7) priority flora species that were listed in FloraBase (DEC, 2010) as being present in the Study area, only two (2) Priority 2 (P2) species of priority flora were identified in the study areas during the field surveys. These included: - Hibbertia acrotichion, which was recorded along the Collets Road section and at Shire Pits 3b and 9; and - Acacia leoiderma, which was recorded at Shire Pit 4. No Declared Rare Flora (DRF) species were identified in the study areas during the field surveys. In general, the vegetation condition in the study areas was in good condition, however some portions of the study area (i.e. within the National Park) had been recently burnt (i.e 2008), and the Shire Pits (with the exception of Shire Pit 9), outside of the national park were also affected by some weed encroachment along the road verge. 61/26254/13265 Fitzgerald River National Park Road Upgrade 1 Flora and Fauna Investigations Fauna Survey A total of 36 bird, seven mammal, 15 reptile and one amphibian species were recorded during the October survey within the above study areas. Two species identified as Priority 4 species under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 were recorded within the project survey areas. These included: - The Western Whipbird, which was recorded along the Collets Road section and at Shire Pit 9; and - The Western Brush Wallaby, which was recorded along both 5km sections of road. Evidence of one significant fauna species was identified during the surveys. A Malleefowl mound was recorded at Shire Pit 9. The mound appeared to not have been used for possibly over 100 years as it had a mature Mallee tree growing up through the mound. No evidence of more recent activity was observed. The Malleefowl is listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) as a both Vulnerable and Migratory species. It is also listed as a threatened species under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. No further evidence was recorded of any other conservation significant species as occurring within or utilising the study areas. In summary, the results of the fauna survey indicate that with appropriate management measures in place there are unlikely to be any significant constraints relating to the fauna which occur within the survey areas. 61/26254/13265 Fitzgerald River National Park Road Upgrade 2 Flora and Fauna Investigations 1.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

  • State-Wide Seed Conservation Strategy for Threatened Species, Threatened Communities and Biodiversity Hotspots
    State-wide seed conservation strategy for threatened species, threatened communities and biodiversity hotspots Project 033146a Final Report South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust July 2008 Prepared by Anne Cochrane Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation Western Australian Herbarium Kensington Western Australia 6983 Summary In 2005 the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. secured regional competitive component funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust for a three-year project for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to coordinate seed conservation activities for listed threatened species and ecological communities and for Commonwealth identified national biodiversity hotspots in Western Australia (Project 033146). This project implemented an integrated and consistent approach to collecting seeds of threatened and other flora across all regions in Western Australia. The project expanded existing seed conservation activities thereby contributing to Western Australian plant conservation and recovery programs. The primary goal of the project was to increase the level of protection of native flora by obtaining seeds for long term conservation of 300 species. The project was successful and 571 collections were made. The project achieved its goals by using existing skills, data, centralised seed banking facilities and international partnerships that the DEC’s Threatened Flora Seed Centre already had in place. In addition to storage of seeds at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre, 199 duplicate samples were dispatched under a global seed conservation partnership to the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK for further safe-keeping. Herbarium voucher specimens for each collection have been lodged with the State herbarium in Perth, Western Australia.
