EPBC Act Referral Submission #1996 - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Title of Proposal - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Transport - Land 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to upgrade a section of Marble Bar Road at Coongan Gorge from 318.4 to 323.5 Straight Line Kilometre (SLK). The purpose of the proposed works is to improve safety on this section of Marble Bar Road, connecting Port Hedland to Marble Bar. The proposed project works will include: - Realignment and reconstruction of approximately 5 km of Marble Bar Road between 318.4-323.5 SLK. Road formation width will vary significantly due to varying batter slope distances (at the narrowest road formation will be 10 metres (m) wide, and in isolated areas road formation will be up to 170 m wide) - Associated works including significant road batter construction, minor floodways, culverts and off road drainage - Development and use of a side track to divert traffic during stages of construction - Extraction of basecourse material from M030 material pit if excess cut material is not suitable for road base. M030 material pit is located on the Marble Bar road at 356 SLK, The Project is being referred to the Department of the Environment and Energy (DotEE) as it may result in the loss of known and potential habitat for the following Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) including: • Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) – Endangered under the EPBC Act • Pilbara Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus barroni) - Vulnerable under the EPBC Act The project area (the maximum area of disturbance) is 43.64 ha, which includes 33.64 ha for the Coongan Gorge realignment and potentially a further 10 ha area for the M030 material pit, including previously cleared areas and the clearing area for the proposed road upgrades. The Project is to be developed in an area that is 166.45 hectares (ha) in size and includes: • Coongan Gorge realignment footprint covering 33.64 ha. This includes 31.55 ha of native vegetation and fauna habitat, 2.09 ha of highly disturbed areas (excluding the 5.63 ha of the existing Marble Bar Road and associated shoulder). Approximately 4.45 ha of the 33.64 ha of native vegetation clearing is temporary clearing associated with the construction of a side track. • M030 proposed material pit footprint covering 132.81 ha. Main Roads intend to limit Submission #1996 - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment disturbance to an isolated 10 ha within the material pit footprint, although at this stage the location of this disturbance is not defined. The material pit includes 113.72 ha of native vegetation and fauna habitat, and 19.08 ha of highly disturbed areas. Main Roads intend to use the material pit for construction, only if the excess cut material from the realigned section of Marble Bar road cannot be made into suitable basecourse quality material. It should be noted that the project is only in the concept design phase. Minor changes in the design may occur in the detailed design process. The clearing footprint for the road construction project has been buffered by an additional 10 m to the planned clearing extent which will account for any variations between the concept design and final design that is constructed. 1.3 What is the extent and location of your proposed action?

Port Hedland AREA PLANNING STUDY Foreword Port Hedland is one of the Pilbara’s most historic and colourful towns. The townsite as we know it was established by European settlers in 1896 as a service centre for the pastoral, goldmining and pearling industries, although the area has been home to Aboriginal people for many thousands of years. In the 1960s Port Hedland experienced a major growth period, as a direct result of the emerging iron ore industry.

  • 4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology the Woodie Woodie Mine Is Located in a Large Synclinal Basin Known Regionally As the Oakover Syncline
    Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum Project – Public Environmental Review 4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology The Woodie Woodie mine is located in a large synclinal basin known regionally as the Oakover Syncline. The Oakover Syncline is a platform carbonate unit that disconformably overlies the Jeerinah Formation. The Oakover Syncline hosts the two major aquifer units namely the Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite, forming a major regional scale aquifer. Regional groundwater flow in the Woodie Woodie area is thought to be from east to west across the site, away from the topographic high areas (normally coincident with outcropping Jeerinah Formation, locally referred to as the Gregory Ranges) towards the Oakover River (GRM, 2006). The river is considered to be the major natural discharge area within the region. The most common range of pre-mining groundwater levels is between 254 and 255 mAHD (as measured in Bells, Chris D and Big Mack pits). 4.5.3.2 Local Aquifer Characteristics The Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite are the major aquifer units present in the vicinity of Woodie Woodie. Table 4-8 provides a summary of the reported hydraulic test results and derived aquifer parameters for the Woodie Woodie area. The data shows a highly transmissive aquifer, capable of delivering high bore yields. Pinjian Chert Breccia Aquifer The Pinjian Chert Breccia forms a major aquifer that is commonly confined by the Patterson Formation where it is present, but is otherwise unconfined. The transmissivity of the Pinjian Chert Breccia is estimated to range from 500 m²/day to 2500 m²/day (Mackie Martin PPK 1994, Golder Associates 2000 & 2003 and GRM 2004 & 2005).

  • Pilbara Stygofauna: Deep Groundwater of an Arid Landscape Contains Globally Significant Radiation of Biodiversity

Abstract – The Pilbara region was surveyed for stygofauna between 2002 and 2005 with the aims of setting nature conservation priorities in relation to stygofauna, improving the understanding of factors affecting invertebrate stygofauna distribution and sampling yields, and providing a framework for assessing stygofauna species and community significance in the environmental impact assessment process. Approximately 350 species of stygofauna were collected during the survey and extrapolation suggests that 500–550 actually occur in the Pilbara, although taxonomic resolution among some groups of stygofauna is poor and species richness is likely to have been substantially underestimated. More than 50 species were found in a single bore. Even though species richness was underestimated, it is clear that the Pilbara is a globally important region for stygofauna, supporting species densities greater than anywhere other than the Dinaric karst of Europe. This is in part because of a remarkable radiation of candonid ostracods in the Pilbara.
