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. 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
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.
