Document a rilling caliche cut slope on the Bordas Escarpment, site 1, a public county road right of way along the Bordas Escarpment near Hebbronville, TX 78361, Jim Hogg County (public road cut slope, accessible grade from the road shoulder) (2026-07-31)

This caliche cut slope along the Bordas Escarpment near Hebbronville shows active rilling and bare exposed caliche with no photo record to prioritize it for hand erosion control, sediment that would otherwise wash into the downslope watershed. Standard: USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting plus standard 484 mulching, applied to caliche cut slope erosion control along the Bordas Escarpment, a public county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County, protecting downslope watershed water quality. SDG 15.3 and 6.6. Proof: document only stand off photo log plus slope condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting plus standard 484 mulching, applied to caliche cut slope erosion control along the Bordas Escarpment, a public county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County, protecting downslope watershed water quality. SDG 15.3 and 6.6.): 1. 1. From the public road shoulder, photograph a bare or rilling caliche cut slope segment along the Bordas Escarpment without leaving the road right of way. 2. 2. Note whether the slope shows active rilling, bare exposed caliche, or intact vegetation holding the grade. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest road marker or landmark for reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for the erosion control crew. Done when: Photo of the slope taken from the public road shoulder; Note of the slope condition (active rilling, bare exposed caliche, or intact vegetation); Photo of the nearest road marker or landmark for reference; Ranked follow on note naming the segment for the erosion control crew

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

document only stand off photo log plus slope condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

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.
