Existing Environment. The IAR must provide a detailed description of the existing environment of the Pilbara region (as relevant to the strategic assessment). This should include the environment beyond the footprint of the actions and classes of actions proposed by BHP Billiton Iron Ore where there is potential for either direct or indirect impacts. In addition, the following should be included: • Description of any physical processes (eg. fire, flood, drought, past and current land uses) influencing the environmental characteristics of MNES. • A detailed profile of each MNES potentially affected by the MNES Plan. Each profile must include: o Description of the MNES (including images). o Conservation status of the matter under both the EPBC Act and relevant West Australian legislation. o Maps showing the distribution and location of the MNES (both historic and current), across its range and within the strategic assessment area. o Where appropriate, a description of the habitat requirements of the MNES. o Description of key threats to the MNES and recovery and conservation management priorities. • A profile should also be prepared for matters that are potentially eligible for listing prior to approval of actions and classes of actions.
Existing Environment. The project area is defined as the maximum area from which slash may be treated or removed and is based on a 200 ft. buffer of the roads and/or recreation sites in need of hazardous fuels reduction. The project area boundary is therefore larger than the actual acres from which slash treatment activities will occur. The project area encompasses approximately 1,789 acres. Elevations in the project area range from approximately 4,500 to 7,000 feet. Habitat in the project area is comprised primarily of mixed conifer, chaparral and oak woodland. Conifer species include white fir, sugar pine, ponderosa pine, Xxxxxxx xxxx and incense cedar.

Existing Environment. This section provides an overview of the existing environment surrounding the LW C2B construction sites. As detailed in section 1.2 this information is based on the comprehensive assessment and analysis work performed for the EIS that cover LW scope of works. Considering the area covered by this project (C2B) the existing environment is described over two sections based on each Planning Approval: • CSSI 7400 Chatswood to Sydenham • CSSI 8256 Sydenham to Bankstown
4.1 Chatswood to Sydenham Table 7 provides a description of the existing and surrounding environments of the LW worksites between Chatswood and Sydenham that have the potential to impact biodiversity, as described in the EIS, and includes potential impacts on flora, fauna and biodiversity. Table 7 - Surrounding environment and potential biodiversity impacts between Chatswood and Sydenham Worksite Existing/Surrounding Characteristics LW Works Activities Potentially Affecting Flora, Fauna and Biodiversity Chatswood dive site and Northern Connection There is vegetation within the rail corridor between Xxxxxx Avenue and Brand Street, associated road bridges and the Ausgrid depot site to the west of the rail corridor, between Mowbray Road and Xxxxxx Street. This vegetation includes planted natives mixed with invasive exotic species. This site has limited fauna habitat value due to the lack of native vegetation, urban development and disturbance from road and rail traffic. Scattered trees are present within the Ausgrid depot, including a potential hollow-bearing tree and nest box on the southern boundary of the depot. The rest of the depot contains buildings and hardstands, with no microbats recorded during surveys of this area. Two concrete over bridges in this site have crevices that could provide roosting habitat for microbats, however, the level of road and rail traffic is suboptimal for microbats and thus none were observed. Removal of individual trees, Minor clearing and ground preparation within rail corridor. Potential for fauna interactions during construction activities. Artarmon substation And Bulk Power Supply Route The Artarmon Substation is located adjacent to Reserve Road between Xxxxxxx Street and Xxxxx Xxxx, within an industrial zoned area. The Xxxx Xxxx Freeway is to the north. Vegetation in this area comprised cleared grassland lined by trees and shrubs, providing foraging and nesting habitat for common urban fauna. The level of disturbance has reduced habitat value due to urban de...
