Clear invasive growth and replant native shoreline at Coleto Creek Park, segment 5, Coleto Creek Park, 365 Coleto Park Road, Victoria, TX 77905 (public Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority park)

The survey above found invasive vegetation choking the native shoreline cover along this reservoir bank, cover that once held this shoreline against wave and wind erosion. 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: before/after photos + shoreline-length-cleared record + species/count record + GPS 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. Confirm the treatment segment with Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority park staff and photograph the invasive-growth-encroached shoreline before starting. 2. 2. Hand-cut and bag invasive shoreline growth with hand tools only, no power equipment. 3. 3. Plant native riparian shrubs and grasses along the shoreline at the design spacing, working from the stable bank edge only. 4. 4. Water in and mulch the planting, photograph the finished shoreline from the matching before vantage, and record species and count. Done when: before/after photos + shoreline-length-cleared record + species/count record + 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.

Proof

before/after photos + shoreline-length-cleared record + species/count record + 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 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.
