Spinifex Minerals – Surface Water Assessment and Flood Study, Abrasive Minerals Project, Kimberley
Lundstrom Environmental Consultants (LEC) conducted a surface water assessment and flood study over a proposed mining area and access road for the Spinifex Abrasive Minerals Project in the West Kimberley. An analysis of peak flows was conducted in 2D hydraulic modelling software for various annual exceedance probability (AEP) and probable maximum flood (PMF) design rainfall events. The assessment also included a desktop study and literature review to describe the existing surface water environment including regional and local catchments, surface water features, stream flows and directions, and water quality. Potential impacts of surface water and flooding were identified and management recommendations were provided. Seasonal climatic changes on surface water were also evaluated.
Main Roads Western Australia and ATCO – Dewatering Management Plan, Bunbury
Lundstrom Environmental recently completed a Dewatering Management Plan for Main Roads WA and ATCO, required for the relocation of gas infrastructure as part of a new roundabout at Vittoria Road in Bunbury. LEC was also involved in the monitoring of the dewatering works on site to conform to environmental commitments and water quality standards.
DM Civil – Water Quality Effluent Monitoring

St John Ambulance WA – Environmental Due Diligence, Kelmscott Urban Development
Lundstrom Environmental undertook an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) providing preliminary advice on the potential/existing environmental constraints for a property development in the Perth metro area. A desktop study was followed by a site walkover including lithology logging, and soil sampling and analysis for potential contaminants such as asbestos, hydrocarbons, pesticides/herbicides, and metals. LEC provided advice on further investigations required, and recommended management measures. LEC also provided project management for geotechnical investigations required for construction and development of the site.

Main Roads Western Australia – Groundwater Management Advice
We have been contracted by Main Roads WA to provide groundwater management advice for a number of basic raw material sites and road works in the South West. More specifically, Main Roads WA requires an assessment of the historical high water levels, in order to comply with the DWER and local Shire environmental policy requirements and for project development.
B & J Catalano Pty Ltd – Acid Sulfate Soils Investigation, Donningtons Gravel Quarry, Chittering
Lundstrom Environmental has managed all approvals necessary for the extraction of over 1.5million tonnes of laterite gravel from this property in Chittering. This project included an assessment for Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS), comprising soil sampling and field and laboratory testing, to rule out the possibility of “acid mine drainage” at the extraction site. LEC also developed and implemented a plan for management and monitoring of potential acidity issues during mining at the site, incorporating water quality testing of detention ponds.
B & J Catalano Pty Ltd – Lots 4 and 5 Ludlow Road Limestone Quarry, Southwest WA
In 2020 we achieved approval after complicated negotiations with DCCEEW, DWER and the Shire of Harvey. This project approval allows for the clearing of 8ha of conservation significant native vegetation and 12ha of limestone extraction near Lake Preston. This provides high quality lime for use as aglime. LEC continues to be involved in the project overseeing implementation of project commitments and compliance with approval conditions.
