Run the monthly litter round on a dry-bank stretch of the Santa Ana River in Jurupa Valley (2026-07-20)

The Santa Ana River corridor through Jurupa Valley collects wind-blown trash and dumped debris on its dry upper banks, and every storm flushes what's there toward downstream cities and the coast. A monthly bagged-litter round on the mapped dry-bank stretch — staying out of the channel and off wet ground — steadily cuts what the river carries away. Standard: Santa Ana Regional Water Board watershed protection; CalRecycle cleanup practice — SDG 6, SDG 14. Proof: Before-and-after photos plus a bag tally Method (Santa Ana Regional Water Board watershed protection; CalRecycle cleanup practice — SDG 6, SDG 14.): 1. Walk the mapped dry upper-bank stretch from the public trail access. 2. Bag litter and small debris, staying on dry ground above the waterline. 3. Leave large dumped items, sharps, and any suspect containers flagged in the record for a credentialed crew. 4. Weigh or count the bags and dispose legally. 5. Photograph the cleaned stretch and the bag tally with GPS and date. Done when: Before-and-after photos plus a bag tally

Pay

$200 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-and-after photos plus a bag tally

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.
