Assess post-fire soil recovery at the burned hillside parcel, Laramie WY (2026-07-10)

The burned hillside parcel in Laramie WY burned recently and has no burn-severity or erosion-risk assessment done yet. Standard: USFS BAER post-fire soil assessment Proof: photo evidence + GPS + field readings per wildfire_recovery checklist Method (USFS BAER soil burn severity + water-repellency assessment, ~45-90 min): 1. Confirm the burn area is open/safe to enter; navigate to a transect; record GPS. 2. Photograph the transect capturing ground cover and ash. 3. Classify soil burn severity (low/moderate/high) at 3 points. 4. Run the water-drop penetration test; record repellency (time for a drop to absorb). 5. Estimate remaining ground-cover percent and slope. 6. Enter severity class, repellency, ground cover, slope, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: water bottle for drop test, trowel, clinometer or phone level, GPS phone, N95 + boots, camera Done when: Soil burn severity class recorded at >=3 points; Water-drop penetration (repellency) result recorded; Ground-cover percent + slope recorded; GPS waypoints + transect photos

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo evidence + GPS + field readings per wildfire_recovery checklist

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: USFS BAER soil burn severity + water-repellency assessment

Bring

• water bottle for drop test
• trowel
• clinometer or phone level
• GPS phone
• N95 + boots
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the burn area is open/safe to enter; navigate to a transect; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph the transect capturing ground cover and ash.
3. 3. Classify soil burn severity (low/moderate/high) at 3 points.
4. 4. Run the water-drop penetration test; record repellency (time for a drop to absorb).
5. 5. Estimate remaining ground-cover percent and slope.
6. 6. Enter severity class, repellency, ground cover, slope, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• High severity + strong repellency on steep slope -> tag high debris-flow/erosion risk; recommend priority treatment.
• Ground cover < 30% -> flag elevated erosion risk.

What counts as done

• Soil burn severity class recorded at >=3 points
• Water-drop penetration (repellency) result recorded
• Ground-cover percent + slope recorded
• GPS waypoints + transect photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
