Recommend thisblock be changed from REW to CCW over much of this block. The part of the area that is inundated in wintershould be changed to sumpland or floodplain.--Part of groundwater and surface water control area for BFS 387. Investigate hydrology of this area thatpreviously formed the headwaters of a creek that drained to BFS 387. Now this creek has been interrupted andconverted to a drain that crosses Brentwood Rd near Bickley Rd and proceeds to BFS 387 in the Wanaping Rdbushland.Part of this block is very degraded by excavations and is flooded in winter. Regulate land uses to avoid furthermodification and negative impact on adjoining CCW 7800. Revegetate to promote groundwater recharge andprovide fauna habitat.The vegetation is somewhat degraded but could regenerate well with some weed control. Regulate land uses toavoid further modification and negative impact on adjoining CCW, revegetate to promote groundwater rechargeand provide fauna habitat.Part of this area has been modified by importing fill and excavations. Regulate land uses to avoid furthermodification and negative impact on adjoining CCW, revegetate to promote groundwater recharge and providefauna habitat.Part of this area has been modified by grazing of horses. This is causing degradation of parts of the adjacent BFS387 vegetation and requires urgent regulation.Tauss, C. and Weston, A.S. (2010).
