Flora and Vegetation Surveys Is Provided in EPA Guidance Statement No Yeelirrie Uranium Project Public Environmental Review Section Nine: Environmental Factors from one or more localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and appear to be under immediate threat from known threatening processes. Priority Two: Poorly-known taxa. Taxa that 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. Priority Three: Poorly-known taxa. Taxa that are known from collections or sight records from several localities not under imminent threat, or from 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. Priority Four: Rare, Near Threatened and other taxa in need of monitoring. (a) Rare: Taxa 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 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) Other: Taxa that have been removed from the list of threatened species during the past five years for reasons other than taxonomy. Priority 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 taxa becoming threatened within five years. Proponents that intend to disturb Priority flora should first consult with DPaW regarding the impact of the proposal on the species’ conservation status. There are a number of Priority flora species present within the Project Development Envelope that are discussed below. Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004 The WA Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulations 2004 (hereafter referred to as Clearing Regulations) regulate the clearing of native vegetation in the State. Low impact mineral and petroleum activities as defined in the Clearing Regulations, and clearing of up to 10 ha per financial year per ‘authority area’ regulated under the Mining Act 1978 (Mining Act), may be exempt from obtaining a clearing permit. However, these exemptions do not apply to environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) or within non-permitted areas such as wetlands or riparian vegetation. There are no ESAs within or near the development envelope. A Clearing Permit is not required if the impacts of the proposed clearing have already been assessed by the EPA under Part IV of the EP Act. EPA Policies The EPA has produced Position Statement No. 2 (EPA 2000) for the environmental protection of native vegetation in WA specific to the clearing of native vegetation. This document outlines the EPA’s position on clearing in agricultural areas and clearing in other areas of WA. It also outlines the elements the EPA will take into consideration when assessing a proposal. Proponents are required to demonstrate in their proposals that all reasonable measures have been undertaken to avoid impacts on biodiversity. Where some impact on biodiversity cannot be avoided, it is for the proponent to demonstrate that the impact will not result in unacceptable loss. The EPA Position Statement No. 3 (EPA 2002b) outlines the use of terrestrial biological surveys as an element of biodiversity protection in Western Australia. Proponents are expected to undertake field 124 Cameco Australia Pty Ltd Yeelirrie Uranium Project Public Environmental Review Section Nine: Environmental Factors surveys that meet the standards, requirements and protocols as determined and published by the EPA. Further detail on the requirements for flora and vegetation surveys is provided in EPA Guidance Statement No. 51 (EPA 2004b). The vegetation in the study area was surveyed using the methods set out in accordance with this guidance statement and outlined below. The EPA also provides guidance on the rehabilitation of terrestrial ecosystems (EPA 2006). The Mine Closure Plan has been prepared in accordance with this guidance (Appendix O1). 9.1.3 Studies and Investigations The flora and vegetation of the development envelope and the regional surrounds have been extensively surveyed. A summary of botanical surveys that are relevant to the Project are presented in Table 9-1. In addition to those listed in the table, there are other surveys of nearby projects that contribute to the botanical knowledge of the area. Reports of other related work, including for example, site specific soil surveys are also listed. These are listed in Western Botanical (2015a, Appendix E2).

The outcome of the survey was the Yeelirrie Project Flora and Vegetation Survey Baseline Report, February 2011 (WB653) (Western Botanical, 2011; Appendix E1). The field survey included 16 study areas. Study Areas 1, 2, and 3 are collectively referred to as the Local Study Area and cover the Development Envelope, while areas 4 to 16 are collectively referred to as the Regional Study Area. These areas are shown on Figure 9-1. A level 2 survey of Study Area 1 was performed in accordance with EPA Position Statement No. 3 (EPA 2002b) and Guidance Statement No. 51 (EPA 2004b), including quadrat based assessment of flora and the mapping of vegetation at a scale of 1:10,000. Study Area 1 includes the pit extent, metallurgical plant, surface water diversion bund and the majority of vegetation within the potential groundwater drawdown zone. Areas of vegetation potentially indrectly affected by the Project are also included withi Study Area 1. Study Area 2, comprising five areas adjacent to and contiguous with Study Area 1 and including the majority of the proposed bore fields, quarry, and buffers around Study Area 1. A level 1 survey of Study Area 2 was performed and focussed on mapping of vegetation units and known Priority Flora populations.

    S.J. Dillon, Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara 103 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 24: 103–108 Published online 3 July 2014 Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia Steven J. Dillon Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Dillon, S.J. Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 103–108 (2014). A new species of Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight, G. saxicola S.J.Dillon, is described. An amendment to an existing key of Grevillea is provided to include the new taxon, which has conservation priority. Introduction Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight is the third largest genus in Western Australia with 348 taxa, 14 of which occur in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The last revision of the genus was by Makinson (2000) and since that time a further c. 20 taxa have been added to the census of Western Australian plants (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–). Close examination of several Grevillea collections from the southern Pilbara revealed a distinct new taxon that had been previously ascribed to either G. nematophylla F.Muell. or G. berryana Ewart & Jean White. This finding was supported by more recent collections and this new species is described here as G. saxicola S.J.Dillon. Methods Descriptions and measurements are based on dried herbarium specimens held at the Western Australian Herbarium. When possible, up to five flowers were re-hydrated from each specimen for floral examination.

  • A Targeted Flora Survey of the Naturebank Envelope in Millstream Chichester National Park
    A TARGETED FLORA SURVEY OF THE NATUREBANK ENVELOPE IN MILLSTREAM CHICHESTER NATIONAL PARK Submitted by Robert Davis and John Huisman Western Australian Herbarium, Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife To Tourism section Parks and Visitor Services Department of Parks and Wildlife And Pilbara Region Department of Parks and Wildlife April 2017 Summary A flora survey was undertaken in the Naturebank envelope at Palm Pool in Millstream Chichester National Park, Western Australia, in order to identify vascular plant species in the project area and to highlight any of conservation significance. The survey was conducted over two days in March 2017 in good seasonal conditions and encompassed the area surrounding Palm Pool and associated river and access envelopes. A total of 110 taxa were recorded, including four conservation-listed taxa: Livistona alfredii (P4), Goodenia nuda (P4), Pentalepis trichodesmoides subsp. hispida (P2) and Teucrium pilbaranum (P2). Introduction The flora survey outlined herein has been undertaken in response to a proposed Naturebank ecotourism development in Millstream Chichester National Park. This ecologically and culturally significant park, which is dominated by the rugged Chichester Range, is located in the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia, some 150 kilometres by road south-east of Karratha. The northern aspect of the Fortescue River at Palm Pool had been identified as a suitable site for the proposed development. The footprint measures at 107ha with a 4.84km boundary. The Palm Pool development envelope (Figures 1, 2) occurs in the Chichester IBRA subregion (Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts 2013) and sits on an elevated plain, with undulating, rocky hills adjoining the riparian zone of the Fortescue River.

(Malvaceae) is described below as part of a large revision of the Australian components of H. sect. Bombicella DC. Restricted to Katjarra (the Carnarvon Range), part of the Birriliburu Indigenous Protected Area some 160 km north-north-west of Wiluna, this species was first collected in 1998 but only recognised as distinctive in 2012 when it was added to Western Australia’s vascular plant census under the name H. sp. Carnarvon (S. van Leeuwen 5110) by Johan Hurter (Parker & Biggs 2013). It was subsequently recollected during regional surveys in August 2012 and May 2013 by Gibson et al. (2014), who astutely collected ample herbarium samples along with detailed habitat notes and photographs. Examination of this material, along with specimens from all Australian members of sect. Bombicella, has confirmed that it is morphologically distinct, with its novel status further supported by a preliminary molecular phylogeny of the Australian Hibiscus (McLay, in prep.).
