This drawdown zone shoreline segment at Amistad Reservoir shows bare ground or invasive plants above the waterline with no photo record to prioritize it for restoration. Standard: US EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment rapid method, applied here to the Amistad Reservoir drawdown zone shoreline at Amistad National Recreation Area, Del Rio, Val Verde County, Texas. SDG 6.6 and 15.1. Proof: document only stand off photo log plus shoreline condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (US EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment rapid method, applied here to the Amistad Reservoir drawdown zone shoreline at Amistad National Recreation Area, Del Rio, Val Verde County, Texas. SDG 6.6 and 15.1.): 1. 1. From an established access road or overlook, photograph an Amistad Reservoir drawdown zone shoreline segment's condition without entering the water. 2. 2. Note whether the shoreline shows bare ground, erosion, or invasive choked vegetation above the current waterline. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest access road marker or park sign for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for the shoreline restoration install crew. Done when: document only stand off photo log plus shoreline condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

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 National Wetland Condition Assessment (rapid method)

Bring

• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• invasive-species ID reference
• boots
• insect protection
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
2. 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
3. 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
4. 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
5. 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water + wildlife (snakes/alligators) -> maintain distance; never sample alone.
• High invasive cover -> flag for a management/removal plan.

What counts as done

• Percent cover native vs invasive recorded at 3 stations
• Dominant invasive species identified
• Hydrology / water-level note recorded
• GPS waypoints + quadrat photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
