Plant a dust-cutting hedgerow along Goshen's worst wind crossing

Where the dust map shows field grit crossing into Goshen's homes, a dense native hedgerow — planted on the host-invited parcel edge — knocks down blowing dust year after year at zero operating cost. This is the follow-on doing work the dust survey targets. Standard: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District dust guidance + CDPH Valley fever prevention; SDG 3 Good Health. Proof: Planted, mulched, irrigated hedgerow line photographed Method (San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District dust guidance + CDPH Valley fever prevention; SDG 3 Good Health.): 1. Confirm the host-invited planting line and call 811 before digging. 2. Water the line the evening before so soil is damp, never dusty, then dig planting holes for the native shrub list. 3. Plant on the spacing plan, water in deeply, and mulch each plant off-stem. 4. Set a simple drip line with a timer to the host's tap. 5. Photograph the planted line wide and close, with GPS and date. Done when: Planted, mulched, irrigated hedgerow line photographed

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.
