Clean the Jordan River banks along the west-side parkway (2026-07-19)

The Jordan River Parkway is the west side's backyard river trail, and its banks collect camp debris, bags, and bottles that every high-water pulse pushes toward the Great Salt Lake. A monthly bank cleanup along the public trail stretch keeps the neighborhood's river corridor dignified and the lake's inflow cleaner. Standard: Jordan River Commission stewardship practice; SDG 6 and SDG 15. Proof: Before/after photos + bag count Method (Jordan River Commission stewardship practice; SDG 6 and SDG 15.): 1. Work the public trail-side bank stretch collecting litter into bags, sorting recyclables. 2. Stage bulk items at the agreed pickup point. 3. Keep to the trail and stable upper banks — never enter the water. 4. Log bags and bulk items. 5. Photograph the stretch before and after with date and GPS. Done when: Before/after photos + bag count

$160 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

Before/after photos + bag count

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 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA dry-weather / AMD field screening

Bring

• GPS phone
• pH meter or strips
• conductivity meter
• ammonia + iron test kit as specified
• surfactant screen if specified
• gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
5. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dry-weather flow present with elevated conductivity/ammonia/surfactants -> flag suspected illicit discharge for the responsible agency.
• pH < 6 with visible iron floc -> tag suspected acid mine drainage; recommend metals lab panel.

What counts as done

• pH + conductivity recorded with units
• Each specified analyte recorded with a value
• Dry-weather flow present? recorded yes/no
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photo

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
