Document feedlot-fenceline dust and odor conditions along the Highway 60 roadside, site 3, US Highway 60 public road shoulder near the Hereford feedlot district, Deaf Smith County, TX 79045 (2026-07-24)

Hereford sits among some of the largest cattle-feedlot operations in the country along Highway 60, and there is no standing, dated photo/observation record of dust and odor conditions along the public roadside nearest the feedlot district. Standard: CARB Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources (SNAPS) community air-monitoring practice + EPA ambient-air-monitoring guidance, applied here to a High Plains cattle-feedlot fenceline. SDG 3.9/11.6. Proof: document-only photo/odor-log set from the public road, well back from any fenced parcel + GPS + condition tag + wind-direction note + ranked follow-on list Method (CARB Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources (SNAPS) community air-monitoring practice + EPA ambient-air-monitoring guidance, applied here to a High Plains cattle-feedlot fenceline. SDG 3.9/11.6.): 1. 1. Park in a safe, legal roadside pullout along the public US Highway 60 shoulder, well back from any fenced feedlot parcel, and observe the fenceline for visible dust or odor conditions. 2. 2. Photograph the fenceline and any visible dust plume from the public road shoulder only, never approaching, entering, or touching any fenced feedlot parcel, gate, or pen. 3. 3. Log any visible dust, odor intensity, and wind direction observed, with the time of day noted. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming the location for the regional community air-monitoring effort. Done when: document-only photo/odor-log set from the public road, well back from any fenced parcel + GPS + condition tag + wind-direction note + ranked follow-on list

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.
