5 Coalfields Highway Surveys Environmental assessments for the Coalfields Hwy Project ( SLK) commenced in spring 2010 during the alignment selection process. Surveys completed over the course of project development included: Flora and vegetation Assessment Fauna Survey Aboriginal Heritage Survey Follow up Rare flora Survey Project clearing was determined to be 25 ha of native vegetation Dieback Study and Management Plan
6 Project Location Coalfields Hwy 15.9 to SLK
7 Environmental Approvals The project was referred to the Commonwealth Department of the Environment in June DotE determined that assessment under the EPBC act was not warranted in August The Project was referred to the WA Environmental Protection Authority in April In July 2013 the EPA determined that the Project did not warrant formal assessment under the WA Environmental Protection Act The Approvals for clearing and environmental offset were approved in July Project clearing was conducted under the WA Clearing Regulations and MRWA Internal Process
8 PROJECT PLANNING Landscape planning by the MRWA Landscape Manager MRWA have developed software from Archibus and CAD SIS to document landscape works and implementation requirements Topsoil Management Planning completed and implemented in accordance with project plans Seed collection and plant propagation requirements identified early (2014) to obtain resources required Vision Zero requirements and Recovery zones included in design criteria. New safety requirements make conservation of existing roadside vegetation more challenging
9 Design considerations for Vegetation Placement and Clear Zones Any woody species likely to exceed 150 mm diameter, or 1 m height in table drain and up to 1 m up backslope Any woody species likely to exceed 150 mm diameter, or 3 m height within 14 m of shoulder edge 6m Minimum Overhead Clearance
10 Vegetation Placement - Sightlines
11 Topsoil Condition and Management Planning ( Reference MRWA Doc ) Topsoil Classification Utilise a spreadsheet to document this into condition and value, prior to stripping, mixing or placement Considerations of Dieback Free sites to protect area Precautions for working within Dieback Infected sites Utilisation of existing natural resources Mulch, Manufactured soil mixes Remove unsuitable materials Conserve and protect valuable topsoils
12 Existing Vegetation Topsoil management 1* Vegetation Condition Scale 2* Topsoil Condition (Main Roads) (6) (use in topsoil assessment) Topsoil Management (Main Roads).

22 GENERAL LANDSCAPE NOTES 1.1 Refer to the schedules in the specification for hold points, composition of plant and seed mixes. 1.2 Service locations are only indicative and must not be used for excavation. Accurate service locations should be identified prior to excavation. 1.3 Trees that will develop trunks larger than 100mm shall not be planted closer than 11m from the painted edge line or driving edge of the road or closer than 3m from adjacent property boundaries and fence lines. 1.4 Shrubs and ground covers shall not be planted closer than 6m from the painted edge line or driving edge of the road or closer than 3m from adjacent property boundaries or fence lines. 1.5 All planting to be located to preserve the visibility and integrity of road signs and intersections sight lines.
23 RIP MOUND AND PLANT - RMP 2.1 Apply herbicide control of Glyphosphate 360 at 3L/Ha. 2.2 Site preparation by rotary hoeing along rip lines. 2.3 Rip to a min depth of 500mm and mound to a min height of 300mm. 2.4 Apply Glyphosphate 360 at a rate of 2L/Ha and Simazine 500 at a rate of 4L/Ha prior to mulch application. 2.5 Apply natural mulch material evenly over mounds to achieve a minimum cover of 50mm. 2.6 Plant seedlings in the centre of the mounds directly above the rip line, approximately 2.0m apart or as specified by the relative plans and place a fertiliser tablet 200mm deep and 200mm away from the seedling.
24 Rip and Mound Planting with Covers to protect against Kangaroo grazing
25 AUGER PLANTING 3.1 Apply herbicide control of Glyphosphate 360 at and 3L/Ha Simazine 500 at a rate of 4L/Ha prior to mulch application. 3.2 Auger individual seedling holes with a CSIRO auger to a minimum depth of 500mm and approximately 3m centre spaces. 3.3 Apply natural mulch material evenly over the site to achieve 50-70mm cover. 3.4 Plant seedling into prepared holes and place fertiliser tablet 200mm deep and 200mm away from each seedling. 3.5 Use tree guards if required to define location and to protect seedling
26 DIRECT SEEDING Premixed Topsoil and Mulched sites 4.1 Apply herbicide control of Glyphosate 360 at 3L/Ha if required. 4.2 Evenly spread seed at the specified application rate (Normally 4 Kg/Ha) evenly across entire site directly after topsoil / mulch respreading. 4.3 Apply broad spectrum fertilizer at 150Kg/Ha (To be approved prior to application - suggest Horticultural special / agras # 3). 4.4 Lightly harrow or chain the site to incorporate seed into the top soil horizons. Note Sites with no prior topsoil/mulch respread, additional soil preparation is required prior to application of seed. 4.5 On compacted sites, Rip to a minimum depth of 500mm with minimum 1m spacings across the entire site. 4.6 For non mulched sites, apply natural mulch material evenly over the site to achieve 50-70mm cover. 4.7 Rotary hoe the area to incorporate mulch into soil and proceed as per 3.3.

43 Avoiding Erosion and Silting Runoff from projects can cause erosion and the material eroded can create a silting problem once the runoff reaches a receiving water source. MRWA s practices to reduce the issues involve: Minimizing the amount of clearing and disturbance taking place Control discharge and sedimentation caused by dewatering activities Minimize the wastewater from project activities Ensure runoff is not entering Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) Control erosion and runoff from construction activities Stabilize site as soon as possible.
44 Weed Control The following are practices employed by MRWA to minimize weeds: Identify weeds pre-operation, plan and start weed management programs Control declared plants as required by Agriculture WA s regulations Minimize site disturbance Ensure equipment and vehicles kept weed free when moving on/off site Manage movement of topsoil
