Clear household dump piles from North Richmond's roadside edges and haul them legally (2026-07-19)

North Richmond's rural-edge roads have carried the county's illegal dumping burden for decades — mattresses, furniture, and construction debris appear weekly on the same shoulders. Piles left standing invite the next truckload. Same-week clearing of household-type piles, with legal disposal receipts, is the most direct blight relief this community asks for. Standard: County illegal dumping abatement practice; runoff from dump piles drains to Wildcat Creek and San Pablo Bay; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Before/after site photos plus disposal receipt Method (County illegal dumping abatement practice; runoff from dump piles drains to Wildcat Creek and San Pablo Bay; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm each target pile is on public right-of-way and household-type only. 2. Load furniture, mattresses, and bagged debris with gloves and two-person lifts. 3. Haul to the transfer station and keep the weight receipt. 4. Skip and report anything with paint, chemicals, drums, tires in bulk, or unknown containers. 5. Photograph each site before and after and file receipts with a site log. Done when: Before/after site photos plus disposal receipt

$380 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 site photos plus disposal receipt

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.
