Smith (Iluka) 2 | Page Executive Summary Ecoedge was engaged by Iluka Resources Limited in August 2015 to undertake a Level 1 Flora and Vegetation Survey of remnant vegetation at the Capel Dry Plant to assist with potential future clearing permit applications. The Project Area, which includes Nature Reserve 3249, is 123.1 ha, of which approximately 24.6 ha is remnant native vegetation. Field assessments were carried out on 21 and 29 September, and 5 and 12 October 2015. Two hundred and fourteen taxa of vascular flora were identified within the Project Area, of which 54 (25.2%) were exotic species. Two weeds classified as Pest Plants under the under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 (*Asparagus asparagoides, *Zantedeschia aethiopica) were found within the Project Area, both in the C3 management Category. Three species of Priority flora were found within Crown Reserve 3249 viz. Stylidium paludicola (P3), Caladenia speciosa (P4) and Acacia semitrullata (P4). No species of Declared Rare flora under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 or plants listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 were found. Eleven vegetation units dominated by trees or shrubs were identified within the Project Area, of which nine were naturally occurring. Approximately 0.15 ha of the vegetation unit Corymbia calophylla - Xanthorrhoea brunonis open forest (CcXbOF) adjacent to the Capel Dry Plant (on the rail reserve) was in ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good-Excellent’ condition and is considered to have high conservation value because is inferred as a new occurrence of the Critically Endangered Threatened Ecological Community Corymbia calophylla-Xanthorrhoea preissii Woodlands and Shrublands (SCP 3c). The vegetation unit Acacia saligna-Hakea varia-Melaleuca viminea tall shrubland (AsHvMvTS) has similarities to the FCT ‘Dense shrublands on Clay Flats (SCP 9)’ which is a Threatened Ecological Community with the risk status of ‘Vulnerable’. Most of this unit was classed as ‘Degraded’, however just over 20% of this vegetation unit was assessed as ‘Good’. The vegetation units AfMpLCF, CcMrCF, EmAfMpCF and ErAfMpCF are inferred to represent examples of the Priority 1 Ecological Community ‘Eucalyptus rudis, Corymbia calophylla and Agonis flexuosa Closed Low Forest (of Spearwood Dune Wetlands)’. Almost all of the area of these communities was assessed as ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good/Excellent’ condition. 21.6 ha of the 123 ha Project Area comprises native vegetation in a range of condition classes. About 55% of the Project Area was classified as ‘Completely Degraded’ or ‘Degraded’ while 21.7% of the area was classed as ‘Very Good to Excellent’, the bulk of this being in Crown Reserve 3249. 3 | Page Contents Executive Summary .................................................................................................................... 3 Statement of limitations ............................................................................................................ 7 Reliance on Data .................................................................................................................... 7 Report for Benefit of Client .................................................................................................... 7 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 8 1.1 Scope and objectives ................................................................................................... 8 1.2 Biogeographic region and location ............................................................................. 9 1.3 Geology ....................................................................................................................... 9 1.4 Vegetation ................................................................................................................. 14 1.5 Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities ..................................................... 17 1.6 Threatened and Priority Flora ................................................................................... 18 1.7 Ecological Linkages .................................................................................................... 23 2 Methods ............................................................................................................................ 26 2.1 Desktop Study ........................................................................................................... 26 2.2 Field Survey ............................................................................................................... 27 2.3 Survey limitations ...................................................................................................... 27 3 Results ............................................................................................................................... 28 3.1 Flora ........................................................................................................................... 28 3.2 Rare Flora .................................................................................................................. 29 3.2.1 Drakaea elastica (DRF) ....................................................................................... 29 3.2.2 Stylidium paludicola (P3) ................................................................................... 29 3.2.3 Caladenia speciosa (P4) ..................................................................................... 29 3.2.4 Acacia semitrullata (P4) ..................................................................................... 29 3.3 Conservation Status of the DRF and Priority Flora within the Project Area ............. 32 3.4 Pest Plants ................................................................................................................. 33 3.5 Vegetation Units ........................................................................................................ 33 3.6 Vegetation Condition ................................................................................................ 38 3.7 Phytophthora dieback disease .................................................................................. 38 3.9 Conservation Status of the Vegetation Units ............................................................ 41 3.9.1 Corymbia calophylla -Xanthorrhoea brunonis open forest (CcXbOF) ............... 41 3.9.2 Acacia saligna-Hakea varia-Melaleuca viminea tall shrubland (AsHvMvTS) .... 42 4 | Page 3.9.3 Priority Ecological Communities in Crown Reserve 3249 .................................. 42 4 Discussion and Conclusions .............................................................................................. 42 5 Recommendations ............................................................................................................ 43 6 References ........................................................................................................................ 45 Appendix 1.

  • Scott River Ironstone Association (Update)
    Interim Recovery Plan No. 339 Scott River Ironstone Association (update) Interim Recovery Plan 2015-2020 Department of Parks and Wildlife, Kensington April 2015 Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50 (CALM 1992; CALM 1994). The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006 and the Department of Parks and Wildlife in July 2013 (the Department). Recovery plans outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of recovery plans or interim recovery plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible after listing. This plan will operate from April 2015 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the community is still listed after five years, the need for an updated plan will be evaluated. This plan was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 7 April 2015. The provision of funds identified in this plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. This plan replaces IRP no. 217 Scott River Ironstone Association 2004-2009 by R. Luu and V. English. Information in this plan was accurate at December 2014. Plan preparation: This reviewed and updated plan was prepared by Jill Pryde (Department of Parks and Wildlife).
