Build a composting windrow from the olive mill's pomace, windrow 2 -- an olive & walnut orchard at the edge of Corning, CA 96021 (2026-07-20)

The first windrow proved the practice; a second windrow keeps pace with the mill's ongoing pomace output through the rest of the pressing season instead of letting the backlog pile up again. Standard: CalRecycle/USDA olive-pomace (orujo) composting practice diverting olive-mill byproduct from landfill/over-application; Michelin waste-elimination criterion; SDG 12.3/12.5 Proof: before/after photos + windrow dimension/turning-schedule log + moisture/temperature check + GPS Method (Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard, ~60-120 min): 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: tablet/clipboard, camera, scale (waste weighing scope), 7-criterion rubric Done when: Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note; Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope); Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope); Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

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 + windrow dimension/turning-schedule log + moisture/temperature check + GPS

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 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note
• Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope)
• Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope)
• Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
