Document San Antonio River riparian condition at Goliad State Park, segment 2, Goliad State Park and Historic Site, 108 Park Road 6, Goliad, TX 77963 (public Texas Parks and Wildlife state park on the San Antonio River) (2026-07-28)

A stretch of riparian corridor along the San Antonio River at this public state park has no current condition baseline, and invasive brush encroachment is crowding out the native understory that holds this river corridor's soil toward the mid-coast delta. Standard: US EPA Rapid Bioassessment Protocols plus watershed-health condition assessment practice, applied here to the lower Guadalupe River at Riverside Park, Coleto Creek Reservoir, and the San Antonio River delta corridor at Goliad in the Texas Coastal Bend interior. SDG 6.6 and 15.1. Proof: document-only stand-off photo log + brush-area estimate + GPS + ranked follow-on note Method (US EPA Rapid Bioassessment Protocols plus watershed-health condition assessment practice, applied here to the lower Guadalupe River at Riverside Park, Coleto Creek Reservoir, and the San Antonio River delta corridor at Goliad in the Texas Coastal Bend interior. SDG 6.6 and 15.1.): 1. 1. From an accessible park riverside trail, photograph invasive brush encroachment and canopy-gap extent along the San Antonio River corridor without leaving the trail. 2. 2. Note the approximate area of invasive brush and any bare, eroding ground beneath the canopy gap. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest accessible trail marker or park reference point for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for the restoration crew. Done when: document-only stand-off photo log + brush-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 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.
