Country and all of its inhabitants is
ady under enormous stress as it is being
ected to: Major fires.  Major
urbance to native vegetation and fauna
use of illegal cutting of access tracks,
vehicle movement; through the sand dune
Vine Thickets pockets.  Excavation of
tage sites and the removal activities of
facts  Significant ground disturbance -
to the establishment of access tracks,
holes, test pits, geotechnical tests and
ling, lay- down and other specified
s, and vehicle movement;  Major
urbance to terrestrial fauna - due to
ring, vehicle interactions and noise; 
r boating noise disturbance to ocean with
ease Multi Beam Echo Sounder working the
tline in order to determine the optimal
route across the shallow water
oaching James Price Point and to provide
inputs into further marine and port
ies.;  Massive increase in light, noise,
emissions and choking dust from vehicle
equipment exhausts;  Major
oduction/transfer of weeds and other
s;  Significant pollution/contamination
routine discharges;  Major
ution/contamination from unplanned
harges;  Considerable disturbance to
eational activities; and  Momentous and
inal disturbance to national and
rnational heritage and conservation
es.  Invasive photographic footage being
n of tourists, locals and children by
le who refuse to identify themselves or
they represent. If questioned by anyone
e unidentified personnel respond with a
igerent attitude and aggressive
viour What is important to understand is
following facts about the work that is
ned in the James Price Point over the
ng days:  Geotechnical drilling on the
h south of James Price Point; and 
echnical drilling in the area of the
osed LNG precinct  It is proposed that
tracks will be cleared to a width of 5m
rovide access to the FEED and FEED Infill
echnical test sites. An extra 0.5m will
llowed to store top soil. Tracks from
ri Rd to the beach will be of a greater
h (up to 8 m).  Proposed clearing would
ndertaken by a combination of raking and
ing. Additional tracks are planned to be
red over the southern portion of the
on user/laydown area of the LNG Precinct
rovide access for cultural heritage
eys and also to some additional FEED. 
o approximately 350 geotechnical test
s of approximately 200 m2 each are
osed to be cleared.  The proposed
nment of the tracks to access the
echnical test sites located within the
and vine thickets are subject to change
what has been indicated.  An area of
o 100 m by 75 m would also need to be
red for use as a temporary laydown area
tore materials  A total of
oximately 20,000 L of water per day is
mated to be required for compaction of
s and test sites and dust suppression
ng site preparation and operations. 
ndwater monitoring bores would be
alled at up to 50 of the geotechnical
sites. These bores will be installed by
ing or drilling a rod (approximately 5 cm
eter) into the soil up to a depth of
oximately 25 m.  Test pits would be dug
depth of up to 5 m at up to 100 of the
echnical test sites using a backhoe (or
lar). These pits will be up to 10m x 10m
rea. And all of this destruction is
ng place when there are still NO
OVALS for this proposed project. Everyone
understand that a majority of the
ned destruction of Country will have
ady been completed long before any
ovals have come through. Less
