Document a vacant lot's condition on Bexar Street, lot 3, Bexar Street corridor (public right of way), Joppa and Bonton neighborhoods, Dallas, TX 75215 (2026-07-28)

A vacant lot along Bexar Street in the Trinity floodplain has no current condition baseline, and bare ground with no root structure sheds rain straight into the corridor's already-stressed storm drains. Standard: USDA NRCS Soil Health assessment and restoration practice (infiltration, aggregate stability, organic matter, native root structure), applied here to vacant lots in the Trinity floodplain around Joppa and Bonton. SDG 15.3 land degradation neutrality. Proof: document-only stand-off photo log + bare-area estimate + GPS + ranked follow-on note Method (USDA NRCS Soil Health assessment and restoration practice (infiltration, aggregate stability, organic matter, native root structure), applied here to vacant lots in the Trinity floodplain around Joppa and Bonton. SDG 15.3 land degradation neutrality.): 1. 1. From the public street or sidewalk, photograph a vacant lot's bare-ground extent, debris, and dumping without entering the lot. 2. 2. Note the approximate area of bare ground and any dumped debris visible from the public street. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest street address or cross street for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming the lot for the naturalization crew. Done when: document-only stand-off photo log + bare-area estimate + GPS + ranked follow-on note

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: USDA-NRCS soil-health in-situ assessment

Bring

• soil auger or trowel
• infiltration ring + measured water + timer
• penetrometer (if compaction in scope)
• clean bucket
• sample bags + labels
• gloves
• GPS phone
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the plot; record GPS; sketch the sampling layout.
2. 2. Photograph each sampling station.
3. 3. Run the infiltration ring; record time to infiltrate 1 inch.
4. 4. Assess aggregate stability and note visible organic matter, roots, and biology.
5. 5. If compaction is in scope, record penetrometer resistance by depth.
6. 6. Collect 0-15 cm cores if a lab subsample is specified; bag, label, complete COC.
7. 7. Enter all measurements with units + depth, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Infiltration > 30 min/inch or high penetrometer resistance -> flag compaction; recommend cover crop / reduced traffic.
• Very low organic matter / no visible biology -> flag degraded; recommend amendment plan.

What counts as done

• Infiltration time recorded
• Aggregate stability + organic-matter observation recorded
• Each in-scope measurement recorded with units and depth
• GPS waypoint + station photos + site sketch

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
