Keep a weekly air-condition photo log from public streets in fenceline Rodeo (2026-07-18)

Rodeo's homes sit directly downhill and downwind of a major refinery complex, and residents have lived through flaring episodes, odor events, and a documented history of releases. Official monitors exist, but the community's own dated record — visible plumes, flare activity, odor notes from public streets — is what fills the gaps between agency reports and lived experience. Standard: BAAQMD air district complaint and observation record practice; SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Proof: Fixed-point skyline photos plus dated observation card Method (BAAQMD air district complaint and observation record practice; SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).): 1. Walk or drive a fixed route of four public vantage points in residential Rodeo with sightlines toward the industrial fenceline. 2. Photograph the skyline from each point at the same angles, noting any visible plume, flare, or haze. 3. Record odor presence and character, wind direction, and time on the log card. 4. Note the air district's public monitor reading for the same hour where available. 5. File photos and the card as one dated record; report strong odor events through the district's complaint line. Done when: Fixed-point skyline photos plus dated observation card

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.

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: EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5)

Bring

• calibrated PM2.5 monitor
• GPS phone
• wind/weather note source
• hi-vis vest
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway.
2. 2. Photograph each monitoring location.
3. 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period.
4. 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic).
5. 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference.
6. 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Roadside work near heavy traffic -> stay off travel lanes; hi-vis at all times.
• Near-source PM2.5 well above background and NAAQS -> flag an environmental-justice exposure concern.

What counts as done

• PM2.5 logged at >=3 points (near-source / mid / background)
• Wind direction + time recorded
• Source-activity observation recorded
• GPS waypoints + location photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
