Table 4.3 - Summary of the survey results for EPBC Act listed threatened flora species previously recorded on the Natural Values Atlas (within a 5 kmradius of the study area) or listed on the EPBC Act Protected Matters ReportTo be likely, it is not necessary for an impact to have a greater than 50% chance of happening; it is sufficient if an impact on the environment is a real or not remote chanceor possibility. 12In this table impact is without safeguards and mitigation measures and may include direct, indirect, facilitated or cumulative impacts. Section 5 of the PER specifies typeand significance of impact.PERReference4.10.1No furtheranalysis inPER4.10.2Matter of NESArthur Rivergreenhood(Pterostylisrubenachii)EPBC Act status:EndangeredGrasslandgreenhood(Pterostylisziegeleri)EPBC Act status:VulnerableLarge goldenmoths – alsoknown as snakeorchid(Diurislanceolata)EPBC Act status:EndangeredResults of surveys and assessment oflikelihood of occurrence/habitatsuitabilityRecorded within 100m of the road.Widespread along the coastal plain southof Arthur River to Bottle Flats (Segments A& B) with numerous populations includingone at Tiger Creek.No records within 100m of the road.Recorded at Gardiner Point, Arthur Riverin 2009 in grassland on dune swales.Limited potential habitat along road.Targeted surveys during flowering seasonin 2009 failed to identify any plants withinthe road corridor.
