There will be no impact. There will be a temporary increase in noise and dust during construction activities, including earth moving, transport, stockpiling or loading of materials. Furthermore, there will be increased vehicle movement during the construction phase of the Proposal. During the operations phase, noise and air quality impacts are not anticipated due to the design and scale of the proposed facility. Given the isolated nature of the Project and the minimal noise2 and air emissions generated, no cumulative impacts have been identified with other projects referred to the EPA. 2 During steady state production operations, the head exchangers which produce an average noise reading of 85 decibels at 1 m. The heat exchangers are the noisiest component of the facility. Noise emissions will be assessed and managed as part of the DWER Part V licence and the DMIRS approved environmental plan. SER-HSE-REP-002 1 Referral Document Development 7 MATTERS OF NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE The Commonwealth EPBC Act provides a legal framework for the protection of MNES. The EPBC Act requires that all actions that will or may have a significant impact on a MNES must be referred to the Minister for the Environment via the DAWE. Protected matters under the EPBC Act include: • World heritage properties; • National heritage places (including Commonwealth Heritage Places); • Wetlands of international importance; • Listed threatened species and ecological communities; • Migratory species protected under international agreements; • Commonwealth marine areas; • A water resource, in relation to coal seam gas activities and large coal mining activities; • The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park; and • Nuclear Actions including uranium mining. In addition, protected matters include the environment where actions proposed will affect Commonwealth land or proposed actions are being undertaken by a Commonwealth agency. For consistency, the term Proposal is used in place of the “Proposed Action” and Development Envelope used in place of the “Proposed Action Area” for this section of the referral. 7.1 Significance Criteria Assessment The Proposed Action does not require for the disturbance of native vegetation; therefore, the habitat of MNES will not be impacted by the Proposal. The Proposal is located on pre- existing cleared land used for agricultural and firebreak purposes. Table 7-1 summarises the significance criteria assessment. The Proposal will not have an impact on MNES, and consequently has not been referred to the DCCEW under the EPBC Act. Table 7-1 Significance Criteria Assessment Matter of National Significance Presence/Potential Presence within Development Envelope World heritage properties Not applicable National heritage places Not applicable Wetlands of international importance Not applicable Listed threatened species and/or ecological There are no Threatened or Priority Ecological Communities within communities the Development Envelope. There are no anticipated indirect impacts outside of the Development Envelope due to the nature and scale of the proposal.

Environmental offsets are ‘actions that provide environmental benefits which counterbalance the significant residual environmental impacts or risks of a proposal’ (EPA, 2014). The assessment and potential application of offsets for the Proposal has been undertaken with consideration of the following: To determine whether offsets were required, the potential environmental impacts, following the application of mitigation measures, were reviewed. The mitigation measures outlined in this supporting document were developed and applied based on the mitigation hierarchy: • Avoidance; • Minimisation; • Rehabilitation; and • Offsets. 8.3 Significant Residual Impact The management and mitigation measures are outlined under each environmental factor and have been considered when assessing the significant residual impact against the residual impact significance model provided within the WA Environmental Offsets Guidelines (EPA, 2014). SER-HSE-REP-002 1 8.4 Offset Strategy Applying the significance model to the residual impacts (Table 8-1), the Proponent has concluded that there will be no significant residual impacts and having regard for the WA Environmental Offsets Policy, does not believe that an offset is required. Table 8-1 Significance Model Residual Impact Significance Greenhouse Gases Residual impacts that are environmentally unacceptable and cannot be offset Not applicable Significant residual impacts that will require an offset Not applicable Significant residual impacts that may require an offset Not applicable Residual impacts that are not significant Not applicable SER-HSE-REP-002 1 9 HOLISTIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT This referral has provided an assessment of the potential environmental impacts associated with the Proposal. Based on the assessment undertaken, the Proponent considers that the residual impacts of the Proposal against these environmental factors are manageable. In considering the inextricable link between flora and vegetation, terrestrial fauna and inland waters, the connections and interactions between parts of the environment to inform a holistic view of impacts to the whole environment has been undertaken. The Proposal does not require the disturbance of native vegetation and resulting fauna habitat. Furthermore, given the lack of water dependent features in the Development Envelope and no proposed modification to surface or groundwater hydrological regimes; the Proposal has negligible potential to affect inland waters or any environmental values that are linked to their hydrological regime(s). The potential for impacts to Terrestrial Environmental Quality due to contamination, will be managed through the implementation of standard industry chemical storage, containment and response procedures. In the event of a spill, all contaminated material will be recovered and removed from site. Given the depth to groundwater and distance to surface water features, no impacts to groundwater are anticipated. On the above basis, when the separate environmental factors relevant to the Proposal are considered together, due to the environmental setting of the Development Envelope, the scale and nature of the Proposal and application of the mitigation hierarchy, the potential impacts from the Proposal on environmental values are considered to be manageable. Based on the assessment undertaken in this referral and the predicted outcomes with respect to the key environmental factors, the Proponent is of the view that the potential impacts of the Proposal are not significant as to warrant formal environmental impact assessment under the EP Act. The Proponent considers that the environmental impacts associated with the Proposal can be adequately assessed and managed via other State and Commonwealth approvals processes. SER-HSE-REP-002 1 10 CONSIDERATION OF SIGNIFICANCE In reaching a decision as to whether a proposal is likely to have a significant effect on the whether it is likely to meet its objectives for environmental factors and consequently, whether a referred proposal should be assessed, the EPA may have regard to the following: A) Values, sensitivity and quality of the environment which is likely to be impacted. B) Extent (intensity, duration, magnitude and geographic footprint) of the likely impacts. C) Consequence of the likely impacts (or change). D) Resilience of the environment to cope with the impacts or change. E) Cumulative impact with other existing or reasonably foreseeable activities, developments and land uses. F) Connections and interactions between parts of the environment to inform a holistic view of impacts to the whole environment. G) Level of confidence in the prediction of impacts and the success of proposed mitigation. H) Public interest about the likely effect of the proposal or scheme, if implemented, on the environment, and public information that informs the EPA’s assessment. A significance test for the Proposal has been undertaken against each of these criteria (Table 10-1). SER-HSE-REP-002 1 Table 10-1 Consideration of Significance Criteria Assessment A) Values, sensitivity and quality of the The Proposal does not require the disturbance of environment which is likely to be impacted native vegetation and impacts on the health of other B) Extent (intensity, duration, magnitude and elements of the environment, including terrestrial geographic footprint) of the likely impacts fauna and inland waters, have been avoided C) Consequence of the likely impacts (or change) entirely. D) Resilience of the environment to cope with the impacts or change E) Cumulative impact with other existing or reasonably foreseeable activities, developments and land uses F) Connections and interactions between parts of A holistic assessment has been undertaken in the environment to inform a holistic view of impacts to the whole environment G) Level of confidence in the prediction of The level of confidence in the predicted outcomes impacts and the success of proposed from the Proposal is high given that the key impacts mitigation are direct impacts which are quantifiable and well understood. The environmental impacts of this Proposal will be addressed through the management measures identified within each environmental factor. H) Public interest about the likely effect of the A comprehensive stakeholder consultation process proposal or scheme, if implemented, on the was undertaken during the planning and design of and public information that the Proposal to identify and address concerns. informs the EPA’s assessment Stakeholder consultation will continue throughout the life of the Proposal through to closure. The Proposal is expected to generate public concern given the interest in oil and gas activities generally and the level of exploration and development in the region. These concerns are expected to focus on hydraulic fracture stimulation; however, no hydraulic fracture stimulation is proposed within this Proposal.
