EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ENV.Australia Pty Ltd (ENV) was commissioned in August 2006 by BHP Billiton Iron Ore Pty Ltd (BHPBIO) to undertake a review of the rehabilitation of the Goldsworthy mine site.

The mine was decommissioned in 1992, with rehabilitation of the area undertaken between May 1992 and January 1993. The disturbed areas around Goldsworthy mine and the Goldsworthy townsite were rehabilitated in an effort to return the site to a ‘rangeland and/or wildlife habitat’, with the primary objective ‘to create a stable sustainable site compatible with the surrounding topography and habitats’. Despite the commencement of rehabilitation activities more than ten years ago, revegetation on waste dump slopes and tops is limited.

ENV conducted detailed botanical and soil analysis in select dump sites at Mount Goldsworthy in October 2006 to ascertain the primary factors contributing to the poor vegetation success. The primary objective of the study was to analyse vegetation and soil parameters simultaneously in an effort to isolate conditions pertaining to varying rehabilitation success.

In situ soil sampling and Suspension Peroxide Oxidation Combine Acidity and Sulphate (SPOCAS) method testing found that only one site (S2D33) had acidic properties, which can be problematic in relation to land management, and that few other sites have the potential to become acid-producing.

Broad Mid Infrared (MIR) Spectroscopy analysis showed that the undisturbed areas exhibited a lower pH than the disturbed areas. It appears the soil is highly variable on a micro-site scale, with physical properties varying dramatically within one metre in some instances, rendering a blanket management protocol difficult to formulate. The soil structure of the disturbed and undisturbed areas varies in terms of the amounts of sand, silt and clay in the soil profile.

The correlation between species richness and plant cover for undisturbed and disturbed sites was as expected, suggesting many endemic plant species have similar, often broad, habitat requirement. Re-establishment of Triodia upon disturbed slopes was rarely observed, with its incidence on disturbed sites very uncommon. This observation suggested that substrate type is a major determinant in Triodia establishment.

Introduced species were more prevalent in disturbed areas. The colonisation of introduced species such as Aerva javanica and Cenchrus ciliaris would meet ‘rangeland’ requirements and provide a possible refuge for other plant species, particularly in unstable areas. Cenchrus ciliaris, however, is considered too invasive, dominating and allelopathic, and although it contributes to vegetative cover, its presence is not considered conducive to rangeland conditions.

Nutrient levels are fairly uniform throughout the rehabilitation area, and are not sufficiently variable to account for the presence of vegetation in some areas and not in others.

BHP Billton Iron Ore Pty Ltd – Ecological Assessment of Mount Goldsworthy Rehabilitation

Page iv 06.190 RP001 Final (18/12/2007)

Chemical differences, especially predicted relative total nitrogen and predicted relative total carbon, can be attributed to historical vegetation presence and the decomposition process that would input a greater level of nutrients into the soil profile.

Salinity, low pH and steep topography were all noted to be detrimental to the establishment of vegetation throughout the survey area, making it difficult to identify any single primary environmental factor as the reason for the slow rehabilitation process.

It may be beneficial for future rehabilitation efforts to concentrate on the soil profile and structure being used as a rehabilitation substrate, rather than focusing on species planting or plant densities. It is recommended that soil structure be modified to reflect that of the undisturbed areas. Detrital material, including deadfall timber, dead shrubs and hummock grasses and whatever else is available, should be broadly deposited across dumps to improve soil stability and to increase the potential for carbon and other nutrient buildup.

On disturbed areas that have different physical characteristics from the surrounding natural soil structure, the emphasis should be on plant species that colonise successfully but are not so invasive that the surrounding native vegetation becomes usurped by the new introductions. In areas that have ‘difficult’ soil conditions, plants such as these will not offer the same ecological value as the surrounding area, but they will offer greater ecological benefits than bare ground, as a potential food source for fauna, as cover and in preventing soil erosion.

Future rehabilitation efforts and trials should focus on structuring soil appropriately, e.g. by layering the geology and soil material so that an appropriate mix of chemical and physical attributes is achieved. Only then should planting be considered. Plants considered for planting should include those species now common at Goldsworthy.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 OBJECTIVES

ENV.Australia Pty Ltd (ENV) was commissioned in August 2006 by BHP Billiton Iron Ore (BHPBIO) to undertake a review of the rehabilitation of the Goldsworthy mine site, which was decommissioned in July 1992.

Between May 1992 and January 1993, disturbed areas around Goldsworthy mine and town site were rehabilitated in an effort to return the site to a ‘rangeland and/or wildlife habitat’, with the primary objective ‘to create a stable sustainable site compatible with the surrounding topography and habitats’

Despite the commencement of rehabilitation activities more than ten years ago, revegetation on waste dump slopes and tops has been limited. The composition of the waste dumps was described as inert waste rock with traces of low grade haematite ore. Topsoil was not retained, and thus could not be applied following the end of mining activities. As no pre-impact surveys were conducted, it is not possible to compare the rehabilitated Goldsworthy area with its condition before disturbance.

In October 2006 a detailed botanical survey and soil analysis was undertaken by ENV at Mount Goldsworthy to ascertain the primary factors contributing to the poor vegetation success in select dump sites. This report provides the results of the study, and attempts to provide suitable management strategies to assist in improving the current level of revegetation at the site by correlating vegetation success with soil properties.

The primary objective of the study was to analyse vegetation and soil parameters simultaneously, to isolate the factors causing varying rehabilitation success.

1.2 LOCATION AND HISTORY

Goldsworthy mine is approximately 100 km east of Port Hedland, Western Australia (Figure 1). Iron ore was mined at the site from 1965 to 1992. At the beginning of mining, there were no legal requirements for rehabilitation. Little consideration was given to rehabilitation practice, and few details as to the rehabilitation methods used are available.

Waste dump composition was described as primarily inert waste rock with traces of low grade haematite ore. Dump slopes were steep (up to 38º), with an average height of 30m. These have been regraded to a maximum of 25º, which is considered the maximum angle for slope stability utilising moonscaping. Topsoil was not retained during mining operations, and therefore none was available to apply during rehabilitation. Waste dump tops and flat areas were ripped. Steeply-sloping sides of waste dumps were moonscaped to minimise water runoff and to create more favourable microhabitats for plant growth.

Throughout the rehabilitation, approximately 1835 kg of seed, comprising 50 flora species, was sourced from areas other than the Pilbara (Halpern Glick Maunsell 1999), and separate mixes have been applied to the mine and townsite areas (see Mattiske Consulting 1996 for details). Waste dumps and townsite areas were seeded at a rate of 6 kg/ha in January 1993.

Rehabilitation monitoring was initiated in July 1993, and was repeated in 1994, 1996 and 1999 (See Table 1 for details of these rehabilitation works).

1.3 CLIMATE

The Goldsworthy area is classified by Beard (1975) as ‘arid, tropical with summer rain’. It has two seasons: a hot, wet summer extending from October to April, and a mild winter from May to September (Figure 2).

1.4 GEOLOGY AND SOILS

Goldsworthy is at the northern margin of the Pilbara Block, and contains two main geological elements: the part granitic, part alluvial Abydos Plain along the coast, and the Gorge Ranges, comprising Archaean rocks folded into granite (Beard 1990). The geology of the immediate Goldsworthy area (according to Hickman and Gibson 1981) comprises:

Qc Colluvium – sand, gravel and boulders forming outwash fans and scree;

Qs Aeolian sand – includes seif dunes and sand sheets;

Aci Banded iron formation and jaspilite;

Acf Ferruginous chert;

Acw Black/white and grey/white banded chert;

Ast Grit, sandstone and siltstone; subordinate pebble conglomerate; and

Asf Ferruginous sandstone, siltstone, shale and chert.

The two abovementioned geological elements dominate the Aeolian sandplains and rivers of the Goldsworthy area, while the remaining categories occur on the ranges of strike ridges. Soils of the plains and pediments tend to be hard alkaline soils, whilst soils on the ranges are skeletal and shallow (Beard 1990).

1.5 BIOGEOGRAPHY

Goldsworthy is situated towards the north-eastern corner of the Eremaean Botanical Province, at the boundary of the Fortescue and Canning Botanical Districts, placing it in the Pilbara Region, adjacent to the Great Sandy Desert Region (Beard 1990). Dominant vegetation types of the Goldsworthy area are tree-steppes and shrub-steppes dominated by Eucalyptus leucophloia or Acacia pyrifolia over Triodia pungens grasslands.

2 METHODOLOGY

2.1 SURVEY GUIDANCE

All surveys undertaken by ENV are designed to meet the requirements of the following State and Federal legislation:

• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (“EPBC Act”).

• Environment Protection Act 1986 (WA) (“EP Act”).

The botanical survey was carried out in a manner designed to comply with EPA requirements for environmental surveying and reporting for flora and vegetation in Western Australia, as set out in the following documents:

• Environmental Protection of Native Vegetation in Western Australia: Clearing of Native Vegetation with Particular Reference to Agricultural Areas. Position Statement No. 2 (EPA 2000).

• Terrestrial Biological Surveys as an Element of Biodiversity Protection. Position Statement No. 3 (EPA 2002).

• EPA Guidance for the Assessment of Environmental Factors: Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia No. 51 (EPA 2004).

2.2 SITE SELECTION

The Goldsworthy field survey took place from 7-18 October 2006. Field staff collected plant and soil samples at four target dump sites highlighted by BHPBIO Environmental Officers, with areas surveyed using 2m x 2m vegetation survey plots. Dump sites were numbered 2, 3, 4 and 6 (see Figure 3). Sites 1 (Rosemary’s Dump) and 5 (Billygoat’s Dump) were not sampled. These dump sites are considered too acidic to warrant sampling or further research, and therefore were not included as part of the investigation.

For each site, 30 disturbed quadrats (D), 15 on dump slopes and 15 on dump tops, were selected. These were chosen as representing a range of vegetation and soil types (where applicable), and as covering a representative spread of each target site. Thirty undisturbed quadrats, 15 on slopes and 15 on tops, were selected upon unmined land adjacent to each site to act as control areas (undisturbed sites – UD). Care was taken to ensure the abiotic factors (e.g. slope and aspect) were similar to those of the neighbouring disturbed dump sites where possible, but were not influenced by adjacent mining activities (site photographs are presented in Appendix A).

Page 5 06.190 RP001 Final (18/12/2007)

2.3 VEGETATION SURVEY

A detailed vegetation survey was undertaken for each quadrat. Information collected at each site included bare ground and litter cover and an overall description of soil and landscape features. All plant species, their height and percentage cover was recorded (Appendix B). Where field identification of plant taxa was not possible, specimens were collected in a systematic manner for later identification by expert taxonomists using the resources of the Western Australian Herbarium, comparison with the reference collection and identification keys.

2.4 SOIL SURVEY

A detailed substrate description was completed for each site, followed by in situ soil sampling. Quadrats were divided into four areas (where landforms permitted) and a small amount of surface soil taken from the centre of each quarter. This soil was bulked in a small plastic sample vial and mixed with distilled water to form a slurry for to pH and EC testing. Sample temperatures were also recorded.

Approximately 0.5-1kg of soil was collected from the centre of each quadrat (where substrate permeability permitted) and placed into labelled calico bags for further sampling upon return to Perth. Soils were dried at 40ºC, sieved to 2mm, and a 10g sub-sample taken in a paper bag for Mid Infrared (MIR) Spectroscopy analysis by CSIRO Adelaide. MIR allows the prediction of a wide range of chemical and physical soil properties that are closely related to the bulk properties of soil (clay, organic matter, cation capacity, mineralogy etc). Whilst only a predictive analysis, it was most suitable for the present project, as it allowed a low-cost analysis of broad-scale landscape variability studies.

In addition to the 240 quadrats sampled, two further disturbed tops and two disturbed slopes representative of the overall landscape at each site were selected, and details of each (vegetation, pH, EC, temperature) were recorded as previously described. In addition, 1kg of soil was collected from each, placed in an airtight plastic bag, and immediately placed on ice. Samples remained frozen until the return to Perth, where they underwent Suspension Peroxide Oxidation Combine Acidity and Sulphate (SPOCAS) testing and full soil chemistry analysis at the Chemistry Centre of Western Australia, using the Mehlich 3 soil test. This test is typically used to measure the concentrations of extractable nutrients, and provides an indication of the fertility of the soil compared to typical Western Australian soils. These results allowed a detailed insight of the soil properties at each dump site, as well as providing a useful calibration tool to assist in predictive CSIRO MIR sampling. Details of sampling methodology for ASS sampling are provided in Appendix C.

Page 6 06.190 RP001 Final (18/12/2007)

2.5 MAPPING

Field mapping was carried out using GPS (Magellan) and GIS (Ozi Explorer and Microstation V7.0) hardware and software. The details of each site were interpreted and sites mapped to illustrate site positioning (see Figure 3).

2.6 DATA ANALYSIS

A Canonical Variates Analysis (CVA) was undertaken on all data collected in situ at disturbed and undisturbed sites to isolate the factors most affecting vegetation success.

Vegetation quality was measured using species richness (the number of species per site) and total cover (all percentage values at each site totalled; this often exceeded 100 where vegetation was layered, allowing the magnitude of good coverage to be represented in statistical analyses).

Aspect, pH and EC were correlated with species richness and total cover values using STATISTICATM (1994). This provided a correlation matrix of the associations between vegetative and environmental values.

Vegetation health ratings are provided as a measure of vegetation quality in site description reports as given in Appendix B, but were omitted from CVA because certain sites had nil values.

Separate CVA was performed on the 16 samples subject to SPOCAS sampling from disturbed sites. Aspect, pH and EC, together with detailed soil attribute data were associated with the two vegetation MEASURES. A complete suite of nutrient values was targeted in the chemical analysis, although not all nutrient values were included in the CVA, as the CVA places limits on the number of variables relative to samples for successful multivariate comparisons, and these limits would have been exceeded had all values been included.

Appendix D presents details of nutrient values for all sites, with a footnote stating which nutrient values were omitted from the CVA. The presence or absence of vegetation was included as an independent variable for analysis with species and cover for CVA, although the values were not independent, as sites had been deliberately selected with and without vegetation. Redundant comparisons that include this measure are therefore not discussed. For all CVA correlation outputs, values of 0.3 or greater were treated as associations of interest, typically explaining around 10% or more of variance derived from the analysis (Garson 2006).

Average MIR results were calculated and graphed as slopes and tops at disturbed and undisturbed sites.

2.7 SURVEY CONSTRAINTS

It is important to note the specific constraints imposed on site surveys. Constraints are often difficult to predict, as is the extent to which they influence survey outcomes. Survey constraints of the Mount Goldsworthy project are detailed in Table 2.

Table 2: Limitations and Constraints Associated with the Mount Goldsworthy Rehabilitation Project.

Variable Impact on Survey Outcomes

Access Problems Quadrat sampling over all dump sites and adjacent control areas was possible, except for dump site 2. This site incorporated a number of ‘separate’ slopes and tops, of which particular areas were selected to allow collection of representative and comparable data. Some slopes encountered on the perimeters of disturbed sites were inaccessible because of their steep gradient.

Experience levels The ecologists who executed these surveys were practitioners suitably qualified in their respective fields:-

• Dr Chris Rafferty

• Ms Sian Edwards

Timing, weather, season.

The survey was undertaken in October 2006, when fine, warm weather was encountered. Temperatures were high (often exceeding 40ºC). Sample temperatures also reached this level. Sampling equipment was calibrated to take into account these extremes, and it is believed this was sufficient to allow accurate measurement of soil properties in situ.

3 RESULTS

3.1 VEGETATION SURVEY

A complete species list, with total cover and richness values of each plant species recorded at undisturbed and disturbed sites, is presented in Appendix E.

The occurrence of plants at sites varied greatly. Cumulative vegetative species cover was greater (8388%) at undisturbed sites than at disturbed sites (6536%). On average, undisturbed sites had 63.6% cover compared to the 34% cover of disturbed sites.

Species richness did not differ between disturbed and undisturbed sites, and this is attributed primarily to the variation in the number of species at each of the sites.

Of the 84 plant species identified in the project, only three were introduced. Weed cover was greater at disturbed than at undisturbed sites (Figure 4). Despite the higher degree of cover, weeds were present in greater numbers at undisturbed sites than at disturbed sites, and more weed species were present at undisturbed sites (Figure 5).

Figure 6 shows that the undisturbed sites generally had more vegetation cover than the disturbed areas. The slopes had marginally more vegetation cover than the tops, and this was true for undisturbed and disturbed areas.

3.2 SOIL SURVEY (CVA RESULTS)

The correlation matrix from the CVA performed on all disturbed and undisturbed sites using in situ soil analysis results is presented in Appendix F.

A strong association between species richness and total plant cover is evident for undisturbed as well as disturbed sites. For undisturbed sites, slopes were associated with higher pH and EC values than tops, as was species richness. For disturbed sites, pH had little association with these values.

Table 3 presents the mean pH, EC, species richness and total cover values for undisturbed slopes and tops, and for disturbed slopes and tops. The pH of undisturbed slopes and tops was lower on average than that of disturbed slopes and tops. EC values were similar for all sites, although a high value was recorded at S2D12 (14.32mS), which increased the mean significantly for disturbed tops. The highly saline site was unsuitable for any plant life, despite it having a moderate pH (6.08).

Slopes had greater species richness than tops. A relationship between the Phosphorus Retention Index and pH is evident, although this was largely because of site S2D33. The Phosphorus Retention Index was considered low to moderate for all other samples. Results indicate a risk of phosphate leaching from the soils with lowest phosphorus adsorption properties (such as sites S6D31, S6D32 AND S6D33), but only if excessive amounts of fertilisers containing soluble phosphate were to be applied. S6D33 is classed as strongly adsorbing.

For all samples (except S2D12, as described earlier), EC values were low to moderate, indicating concentrations of soil salts at low levels that are unlikely to be detrimental to plant growth. The pH (CaCl2) varied widely, ranging from extremely acidic (at site S2D33) to moderately alkaline. Of the 16 sites sampled, this was the only one indicated by SPOCAS to have the potential to become acid-producing. Organic carbon values were low to very low for most samples. The Phosphorus Retention Index was highly variable, although most samples would be classed as low to moderate.

Some nutrients were highly variable. Boron ranged from low to moderate levels, but not to toxic levels. Calcium ranged from low (site S2D33) to high (site S2D32). Cadmium levels were very low in all samples. Cobalt levels ranged from low to high (note that cobalt is not essential for plant growth). Copper levels ranged from low to moderate. Iron levels ranged from low to high. Potassium levels ranged from low to moderate. Magnesium levels ranged from very low to moderate. Manganese levels ranged from low (S2D33) to very high (S6D32). Molybdenum levels were very low (but note that this test does not necessarily provide an accurate assessment of molybdenum status in soil). Sodium levels ranged from low to moderate. Nickel levels ranged from very low to moderate

(note that nickel is essential for most plants). Phosphorus levels varied from low to high (S4D31); the concentrations of this nutrient are typical of unfertilised Western Australian soils, with the exceptions of S4D31, S4D32 AND S4D33. Sulphur levels ranged from very low to very high, with S2D33 identified as an acid sulphate soil. Zinc levels ranged from low to moderate. Arsenic levels were low, and lead levels were recorded as very low.

3.3 SOIL SURVEY (MIR RESULTS)

The MIR results from CSIRO were grouped into tops and slopes and then into disturbed and undisturbed sites, with the various parameters tested against slopes and tops for the disturbed and undisturbed sites. General patterns emerged when comparing the predictive analysis of these parameters. The following section details the results from the analysis of the MIR work.

Figure 7 shows the pH taken in the field (in situ), the lab pH readings and the average number of flora species present at each of the surveyed dump sites. The dump sites are divided into tops (t) and slopes (s) and into undisturbed and disturbed sites. The Figure shows that dump site 6 has a relatively high number of average species in slopes and in tops, and for disturbed and undisturbed areas. The pH from the laboratory testing (predictive) showed a similar trend in the undisturbed and the disturbed sites. However, during the field testing it was noted that the undisturbed sites frequently had lower pH values than the disturbed areas. Figure 7 shows that the undisturbed areas have lower average pH readings than the disturbed areas. This pattern is also supported by the more scientifically rigorous testing undertaken by the CVA and detailed in Table 3.

Figure 8 shows the average predicted soil characteristics for undisturbed and disturbed tops and slopes. The Figure shows that the undisturbed soil has less clay and silt, but more sand, than the disturbed soil.

Figure 9 details the predicted total carbon for sites. As before, the sample points are divided into areas of undisturbed and disturbed soil, with a further separation between the slopes and tops. The undisturbed sampling areas have a higher average value of total carbon than the disturbed areas. This may be because of the higher percentage cover of vegetation in the undisturbed areas, and consequently a higher level of decomposition.

Figure 10 also shows that, in general, the undisturbed areas have a higher average level of predicted total nitrogen in the soil compared to the disturbed areas. This may also be due to the fact that the undisturbed areas have a history of decomposition, and therefore have more organic material.

The predicted relative average values for carbonate are presented in graph form in Figure 11. This shows that in general the disturbed areas have a marginally higher relative carbonate level than the undisturbed areas. The tops of disturbed S3 and S4 and the slopes of disturbed S4 and S6 have median levels of carbonate, whereas S6Dt, S2Ds, S3Ds and S2Dt have far higher predicted

carbonate levels than other areas. The graph does not show a conclusive relationship between carbonate levels and undisturbed or disturbed sites.

Figure 12 graphs the average predicted values of calcium in the survey areas. The graph shows there is no significant difference between the calcium levels in disturbed and undisturbed soils. The disturbed slope of D2 showed a particularly high relative predicted calcium value.

The predicted magnesium levels graph (Figure 13) indicates a difference between the undisturbed and the disturbed sites. There are negligible levels of magnesium in the undisturbed areas - however, there are high levels of predicted magnesium in the disturbed samples, except for the top of disturbed S3, which has magnesium levels comparable to those of the undisturbed areas.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Results of the in situ soil sampling and SPOCAS testing suggest that few of the sites sampled have the potential to become acid-producing. Of the 16 sites which underwent detailed chemical analysis, only one, S2D33, had acidic properties which may be problematic in relation to land management. Management of the site in accordance with Ahern et al. (1998) or a similar protocol would be important to allow reintroduction of successful natural communities in the area. Sites surrounding S2D33, even those nearby, did not show the same acid-producing potential. The broad MIR analysis showed that, in general, the undisturbed areas had a more acidic pH than the disturbed areas. It appears that the soil is very variable on a micro-site scale. Physical properties were shown to vary dramatically within a metre in some instances, rendering a blanket management protocol difficult to formulate.

The correlation between species richness and plant cover for undisturbed and disturbed sites was expected, suggesting many endemic plant species have similar, often broad, habitat requirements. The tops and slopes of Triodia grasslands upon undisturbed sites were exceptions to this rule. Sites sampled in these regions typically consisted of small pockets of fine orange substrate, in which Triodia monocultures dominate. Reestablishment of Triodia on disturbed slopes was rarely observed, with its incidence on disturbed sites very uncommon. This suggests that substrate type may be a major determinant in Triodia establishment. Whilst it appears to have broad tolerance in relation to soil chemistry, it may be unable to colonise disturbed, loose substrates, or may be displaced by other species following broad-scale disturbance events which make soils more suitable for other plant species.

Analysis of the distribution of native and non-native plant species showed, as expected, that weed numbers are greater in disturbed areas. The primary target of the Mount Goldsworthy rehabilitation was to ensure the area was returned to a ‘rangeland and/or wildlife habitat’, with a primary objective ‘to create a stable, sustainable site compatible with the surrounding topography and habitats’. Given the difficulty encountered in revegetating the site since the end of mining and the possibility of acid rock drainage issues, it could be considered that any vegetation, irrespective of origin, will assist in the rehabilitation effort. The colonisation of grass species such as Aerva javanica and Cenchrus ciliaris would meet ‘rangeland’ requirements and provide a possible refuge for other plant species, particularly in unstable areas. However, Fulbright and Fulbright (1990) and, more recently, Jackson (2005) are among many references supporting the view that Cenchrus ciliaris is too invasive, dominating, allelopathic and, in many cases, responsible for loss of biodiversity of plants. So although it could contribute to vegetative cover, this outcome is not ideal.

From the detailed nutrient analysis undertaken by the Chemistry Centre, it appears nutrient levels are generally uniform throughout the rehabilitation area,

and any variation would be insufficient to account for the presence of vegetation in some areas and not others. Of the nutrients tested, none were found to be at levels detrimental to plant growth exception for site S2D33, which was noted as having acid sulphate soil and which had an expectedly high sulphur value.

The MIR testing showed some broad differences between undisturbed and disturbed areas, mainly in the soil structure and in chemical differences. The chemical differences, especially in predicted relative total nitrogen and predicted relative total carbon, can be attributed to differences in vegetation cover and therefore the decomposition process that would input a greater level of nutrients into the soil profile. However, the disturbed areas had a higher level of predicted relative magnesium and carbonate totals. The most pertinent graph (Figure 8) shows that the soil structure of the disturbed and undisturbed areas vary in the percentages of sand, silt and clay in the soil profile. The soil structure was very different in the rehabilitated areas compared to the ‘natural’ areas.

Disturbed areas, in general, had a higher pH than undisturbed areas, suggesting that acid rock drainage is not a significant rehabilitation issue. Disturbed sites in close proximity vary greatly in their soil properties and the vegetation they support. Salinity, low pH and steep topography were all noted as detrimental to the establishment of vegetation throughout the survey area, and often occurred in neighbouring areas independent of one another. It is therefore very difficult to identify one primary environmental factor as the detrimental influence in the rehabilitation process.

One of the main intuitive conclusions of this survey is that future rehabilitation efforts should switch the focus away from the planting and density of plant species, and instead concentrate on the soil profile and structure being used as a rehabilitation substrate. The various slopes, aspects and parent material mean that areas vary significantly in soil microcharacteristics, and consequently in plant species and composition. Soil structure should be modified to reflect the structure of the undisturbed areas. The broad deposition of detrital material, including deadfall timber, dead shrubs and hummock grasses and whatever else is available should be placed across dumps to improve soil stability and to improve the potential for carbon and other nutrient buildup.

In disturbed areas that have different physical characteristics from the surrounding natural soil structure, the emphasis should be on plant species that will colonise successfully, but that will not be so invasive in character that the surrounding native vegetation becomes usurped by the new introductions. In areas that have ‘difficult’ soil conditions, plants such as these will not offer the same ecological value as the surrounding area, but they will offer greater ecological benefits than bare ground, as a potential food source for fauna, as cover and in preventing soil erosion.

It is therefore recommended that future rehabilitation efforts and trials focus on structuring soil appropriately, e.g. by layering the geology and soil material so

that an appropriate mix of chemical and physical attributes is achieved. Only then should planting be considered.

Plants considered for planting should include those species commonly recorded at Goldsworthy. A species-by-site matrix is presented in Appendix H to show those flora species most commonly recorded.

APPENDIX C

Acid Sulphate Soil Analysis Methodology

TEST METHODS

The test methods of the Acid Sulphate Soils Laboratory Methods Guidelines manual were used in this work, specifically Method Code 23 – SPOCAS (Suspension Peroxide Oxidation Combined Acidity and Sulphate).

The SPOCAS method is a standardised set of procedures useful in assessing the environmental impact of soils suspected of containing pyrite and other iron sulphides, which might lead to an acid sulphate soil problem if disturbed.

SAMPLE PREPARATION

Samples were dried at 80ºC. Coarse material >2mm was removed by sieving. The <2mm fraction was ground to <150 microns. Sub samples of the milled homogenised material were then subjected to chemical tests. All results are reported on a dry weight basis.

TEST PROCEDURES

SPOCAS METHOD

Step 1: Determination of Potassium Chloride Extractable Sulphur (SKCl %) and Total Actual Acidity (TAA)

In this procedure the sample is extracted with potassium chloride solution. The extraction with potassium chloride is used to determine soluble and absorbed sulphur (non-sulfacid sulphur) and the titratable actual acidity of the sample (TAA). The sulphur is determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICPAES).The pH, acidity, and sulphur content of the resultant solution are reported as pHKCl, TAAKCl, and SKCl respectively.

Step 2: Determination of the Peroxide Oxidation Sulphur (SP%), and Titratable Peroxide Acidity (TPA)

This step involves oxidation of the sample with hydrogen peroxide to produce maximum acidity from any reduced sulfacid material. The sulphur content (SP%), the Titratable Peroxide Acidity (TPA), and pH (pHox) of the oxidised solution are determined. SP% will include the soluble, absorbed, and sulphide, sulphur species.

06.190 RP001 Final (18/12/2007)

Step 3: Determination of Retained Acidity

Existing acidity in acid sulphate soils includes ‘actual’ acidity (TAA) and ‘retained’ acidity (acidity stored in largely insoluble iron and aluminium sulphate minerals). A dilute HCl extraction performed on the washed soil residue after peroxide digestion will give the residual acid soluble sulphur (SRAS) from which the retained acidity can be calculated. This acidity is expressed as a-SRAS. For soil samples with pHKCl<4.5 the SRAS content is determined.

Step 4: Determination of the Excess Acid Neutralising Capacity ( ANCe)

This determination is optional depending on the peroxide solution pH.

If the solution pH after the peroxide step is >6.5, the material may have an acid neutralization capacity. The fine grinding of the sample for analysis will lead to an over estimation of the effective acid neutralising capacity and an appropriate safety factor must be applied.

Step 5: Peroxide Oxidizable Sulphur (SPOS)

This step involves calculating the differences between the extracts from Step 2 and Step 1. The peroxide oxidizable sulphur is used to predict the potential acid risk from non-oxidised sulphur compounds.

Peroxide oxidizable sulphur: SPOS = ( SP – SKCl )% ACID BASE ACCOUNTING (ABA)

The acid base accounting approach is used to predict net acidity from the oxidation of sulfacid material. The SPOCAS method is in essence a self-contained ABA. The TPA result represents a measure of the net acidity, effectively equivalent to the sum of the soil’s potential sulfacid activity and actual acidity (TAA) less any neutralising capacity of the sample. Where the pHKCl is <4.5 then the residual acid soluble sulphur (SRAS) component of SPOCAS should be done, since the TPA does not measure retained acidity. In soils that are self neutralising (i.e. TPA=0), then the HCL titration step in SPOCAS allows calculation of the excess acid neutralising capacity (ANCE).

GUIDE TO INTERPRETATION OF SPOCAS TESTWORK

Interpretation of results from SPOCAS test methods involves determination of action criteria and comparison of the test results with the criteria. The NSW ASSMAC has published Action Criteria as follows:

Type of Material Action Criteria, <1,000 tonnes

Action Criteria, >1,000 tonnes

Texture Approx Clay Content

(%<0.002mm)

Sulphur Trail

SPOS %

Medium

loams/light clays

5 – 40 0.06 36 0.03 18

Fine

clays/silts

�40 0.1 62 0.03 18

According to the NSW ASSMAC, exceedance of these criteria indicates risk of an acid sulphate soil issue and the need for an acid sulphate soil management plan with development approval.
