Figure 14 is a photograph taken from the base of the Upper Mundic Gully catchment looking east
towards the Western Dump. This photograph clearly shows the exposed waste rock material and
surface vegetation that is understood to have naturally established without intervention. As described
in Section 5.7.3.2, introduced species are prevalent throughout the TSF footprint. Some species varied
in density from isolated shrubs to dense thickets and in the case of Lantana was noted to have grown
over and smothered local vegetation.
Figure 14. Western Dump within Upper Mundic viewed from the base looking east
The extent of the historical waste rock placement overlain with the proposed Upper Mundic Gully TSF
footprint is indicated in Figure 15. This figure shows that within the proposed TSF footprint there is
demarcation between areas disturbed through previous mining activities (typically non-remnant) and
undisturbed areas (typical remnant vegetation).
