Seed a bare public desert-lot edge to cut blowing-dust air impact, site 2, public right-of-way desert-lot edge near the Pecos town limit along S Cedar Street (US 285), Pecos, TX 79772 (2026-07-24)

This bare public right-of-way desert-lot edge feeds a visible dust plume across S Cedar Street on windy Permian Basin days, a real ambient-air burden for residents and passing traffic that a native seed mix can hold down. Standard: EPA ambient air-quality monitoring and document-only stand-off observation practice, applied here to industrial oilfield fenceline and unpaved-road dust in the Permian Basin. SDG 3.9/11.6. Proof: right-of-way siting confirm + before/after photos + seed-mix/rate record + wind-condition note + GPS Method (EPA ambient air-quality monitoring and document-only stand-off observation practice, applied here to industrial oilfield fenceline and unpaved-road dust in the Permian Basin. SDG 3.9/11.6.): 1. 1. Confirm the right-of-way boundary with the city or county roads department and photograph the bare, wind-scoured desert-lot edge before seeding. 2. 2. Rake the crusted surface lightly to break the cap without disturbing any buried utility, staying entirely within the confirmed public right-of-way. 3. 3. Broadcast a native Chihuahuan-desert grass and forb seed mix at the design rate and lightly rake it in. 4. 4. Water in if conditions allow, and photograph the seeded area from the matching before vantage, recording seed mix and application rate. Done when: right-of-way siting confirm + before/after photos + seed-mix/rate record + wind-condition note + GPS

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 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.
