� An assessment of the likelihood of dieback or other pathogens occurring; � An assessment of any wetlands located within the Study Area; � Compiling an inventory of the vertebrate fauna species in the survey area through targeted searches and opportunistic recording of species; and � Identification of any habitats of significance. 2
2. Methodology 2.1 Desktop Investigation To provide information on the species previously recorded or likely to occur in the Study Area a number of desktop searches were undertaken, this included: � A review of the Department of Environment and Conservation’s (DEC) Rare and Threatened Flora database; � A review of the DEC’s Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) database; � A review of the Western Australian Museum (WAM) and DEC NatureMap database for threatened flora and fauna; � A review of the DEC’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) Mapping; and � A review of the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC) Protected Matters database for areas listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). 2.2 Field Survey for Flora and Vegetation GHD botanists, Meranda Toner and Christine Best, conducted a flora and vegetation assessment of the Study Area from 17 to 19 November 2010. The survey was undertaken to provide a description of the dominant vegetation types present, vegetation condition and flora species present at the time of the survey. An additional survey of the proposed Offset Site was undertaken on 7 February 2011. Information collected during the offset site assessment has been used to assist in assessing the vegetation of the alignment. Field assessment methodology involved a combination of sampling using quadrat, and relevès located in representative vegetation types and meandering transects of the Study Area on foot to record plant species present (visible) at the time of the survey. The survey methodology employed by GHD was consistent with the EPA’s guidelines for flora surveys as outlined in Guidance Statement No. 51 Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia (EPA, 2004a) and Terrestrial Biological Surveys as an Element of Biodiversity Protection, Position Statement No. 3 (EPA, 2002). 2.2.1 Flora Identification Species that were well known to the survey botanists were identified in the field, while species that were unknown were collected and assigned a unique number to facilitate tracking. All plant species collected during the field programme were dried and fumigated in accordance with the requirements of the Western Australian Herbarium. Plant species were identified by the use of local and regional flora keys and by comparison with the named species held at the Western Australian Herbarium. Plant taxonomists who are considered to be an authority on a particular plant group were consulted, when necessary. The conservation status of all recorded flora was compared against the current lists available on FloraBase and the EPBC Threatened species database provided by DSEWPaC. 3
