Plant native cover on the confirmed gentle quebrada bank section

Once a survey has flagged which quebrada bank sections in Ciudad Bolívar are gentle enough to work safely, the next step is planting native, deep-rooted cover to hold that soil through the rainy season. This intermediate planting work happens only on sections already confirmed stable and gentle by the survey crew. It builds directly on the documented survey. Standard: UNEP watershed restoration guidance; SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) Proof: Photo of the planted bank section on confirmed gentle ground Method (UNEP watershed restoration guidance; SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)): 1. Confirm the section was flagged gentle-grade by the prior survey. 2. Clear loose debris from the planting line by hand. 3. Dig shallow holes and set native bank plants at nursery depth. 4. Backfill, firm the soil, and water each plant in. 5. Photograph the finished planting and record the date. Done when: Photo of the planted bank section on confirmed gentle ground

Pay

$300 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.

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.
