community garden near the former Exide battery-recycling site, Vernon CA
Test the soil near community garden near the former Exide battery-recycling site, Vernon CA for lead.
A technician digs soil cores with a trowel or auger at community garden near the former Exide battery-recycling site, mixes them in a clean bucket, and reads lead on an XRF analyzer or test kit. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Sample the soil at the community garden by the former Exide battery-recycling site, Vernon CA and read lead per plot. Legacy lead from that former battery-recycling operation contaminated soil across nearby neighborhoods, and growers and residents nearby have unquantified soil-lead exposure until a screen is run.

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- trowel or auger
- clean bucket + mixing tool
- XRF analyzer or metals test kit
- PID for volatiles (if petroleum in scope)
- sample bags + labels
- N95 dust mask
- gloves + eye protection
- GPS phone
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the parcel; record GPS; sketch a >=5-point sampling grid.
- 2. Photograph each sampling point and any visible staining/fill/slag.
- 3. Collect 0-15 cm cores from >=5 points; combine and mix in the clean bucket; subsample.
- 4. Run XRF/test kit on the composite; record each metal in ppm.
- 5. If petroleum is in scope, log PID readings and any odor/staining.
- 6. Bag/label any lab subsample; complete chain-of-custody.
- 7. Enter all analytes with units, depth, GPS, photos, and site sketch into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Photos of 5 sampling points
- GPS waypoint of plot
- Composite Pb reading (ppm)
- Sampling depth note (0-15cm)
- Plot location sketch
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1783720052299_q6uvce6","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
