On the eastern side there is a camping and picnic area and access to the Benowie Walking Track (part of the Great North Walk). Boating, fishing and bushwalking are the name of the game here.

Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Interpretive Report 2016-17 Page | ii Executive summary Purpose A requirement of Sydney Water’s Environment Protection Licences (EPLs) is to undertake an ongoing Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) to identify and quantify environmental impacts associated with Sydney Water’s wastewater services across our area of operations. The program aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to: • determine general trends in water quality over time • monitor Sydney Water’s performance • determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The sampling program is designed to provide a longitudinal and spatial dataset that allows the identification of statistically significant changes in water quality or ecosystem health parameters that may be related to discharges from wastewater systems. The STSIMP generates two types of reports: an annual data report and an interpretive report.

    THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT LOF A NE COVE BY LYNNE McLOUGHLIN WITH PLANT SURVEYS BY VAN KLAPHAKE The Natural Environment of Lane Cove ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank those people who have so willingly assisted in assembling materials and information for various parts of this book detailing the natural environment of Lane Cove. In particular, I wish to thank Susan Butler, Lane Cove Council Bushland Management Officer, for her great support and encouragement for the project from its inception as environmental education material, through the production of the Teachers’ Guide, to its present form. Susan also produced all the maps, assisted with illustrative material, co-ordinated the production of the listings for the appendices and acted as editor for both the Teachers’ Guide and this publication. Special thanks are due to Van Klaphake who surveyed, identified and listed the plant species of our bushland reserves, assisted by Sandy Coe. Van also drafted the vegetation maps, contributed to the birds and the animals listings and assisted with the mushrooms listing. Thanks also to Jon Kingston and Simon Pitcher for their painstaking work in preparing the listings for the extensive appendices. Assistance was also much appreciated from Sheila Walkerden, for information and listings on birds, John Diversi, for listings and information on reptiles and Dennis Ormsby, for material on mammals.
