The majority of these are considered to be common species. No fauna were observed during the survey. The project area lies within the Amadeus Depression of the Southern Desert Basins, which is dominated by limestone plains and pans and tributary slopes. Karinga Creek runs through Erldunda Station to the north of EP 125, flowing in an east–west direction and draining into a chain of salt lakes / clay pans and eventually into the Finke River. No watercourses are mapped as occurring within the disturbance area however Karinga Creek occurs approximately 20 km to the north of the well lease. Non-perennial water courses feeding in to Karinga Creek occur to the north of the well lease, with the closest located approximately 2 km north of the lease.
