Keep the weekly stand-off air and truck record on the Slover Avenue corridor in Bloomington (2026-07-18)

Bloomington is an unincorporated community that has been ringed by new warehouses, and Slover Avenue carries a near-constant stream of diesel trucks past homes and school bus stops. Neighbors report dust on windowsills and diesel smell at morning pickup hours, but there is little block-level record of when the trucks stack up and where the dust settles. A steady weekly photo-and-count record from public sidewalks gives the community evidence it can bring to air regulators and the county. Standard: US EPA NAAQS particulate standards; CARB AB 617 community air protection — SDG 11. Proof: Weekly timestamped photo set plus truck counts from the same public vantage Method (US EPA NAAQS particulate standards; CARB AB 617 community air protection — SDG 11.): 1. Stand on the public sidewalk at the named corner at the same weekday hour each week. 2. Count trucks passing in 15 minutes and note idling trucks stopped near homes. 3. Photograph visible dust plumes, soot on nearby sills or fences, and the sky line toward the warehouse gates. 4. Note wind direction, temperature, and anything unusual like a strong diesel smell. 5. Upload the photos with GPS and date and log the counts in the work record. Done when: Weekly timestamped photo set plus truck counts from the same public vantage

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.
