Reseed a bare right of way segment near Hebbronville, site 5, a public utility easement and county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX 78361, Jim Hogg County (public pipeline right of way corridor, never a private lease) (2026-07-31)

The survey above found a bare or eroding segment of this public utility easement and road right of way near Hebbronville, and a hand seeded native grass and forb cover would otherwise leave this South Texas brush country soil open to wind and rain erosion for another season. Standard: USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting plus 512 pasture and hayland planting (native grass and forb reseeding of disturbed right of way soil), applied here to a public utility easement and county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County, deep South Texas brush country on the Coastal Sand Sheet edge. SDG 15.3. Proof: before after photos plus 811 confirmation plus seed mix and area seeded record plus GPS Method (USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting plus 512 pasture and hayland planting (native grass and forb reseeding of disturbed right of way soil), applied here to a public utility easement and county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County, deep South Texas brush country on the Coastal Sand Sheet edge. SDG 15.3.): 1. 1. Confirm the segment with the county road department or utility easement holder, call 811 and confirm no buried utility conflicts before any ground disturbance, and photograph the bare or eroding segment before starting. 2. 2. Hand rake the surface only to loosen the top layer of soil, no power equipment and no digging below the surface, staying inside the established right of way. 3. 3. Hand broadcast a native South Texas grass and forb seed mix at the labeled application rate and hand rake it in. 4. 4. Photograph the seeded segment from the matching before vantage and record the seed mix and area seeded. Done when: Before photo of the bare or eroding segment; 811 call confirmation and no buried utility conflict recorded before any ground disturbance; Confirmation only hand tools were used, surface only, no digging below the surface; Native seed mix product or label photo and area seeded recorded; After photo of the seeded segment from the matching vantage

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 plus 811 confirmation plus seed mix and area seeded record plus 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 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.
