Revegetate a bare caliche road edge near Hebbronville, site 4, a public county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX 78361, Jim Hogg County (caliche surfaced county road edge) (2026-07-31)

The survey above found a bare caliche road edge segment near Hebbronville, and a hand seeded, hand mulched native cover would otherwise keep shedding dust and eroding caliche onto the roadway for another season. Standard: USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting (caliche road shoulder revegetation for dust control and erosion control), applied here to a public county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County. SDG 15.3 and 11.4. Proof: before after photos plus seed mix and area seeded record plus GPS Method (USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting (caliche road shoulder revegetation for dust control and erosion control), applied here to a public county road right of way near Hebbronville, TX, Jim Hogg County. SDG 15.3 and 11.4.): 1. 1. Confirm the segment with the county road department and photograph the bare caliche edge before starting. 2. 2. Hand rake the caliche surface lightly to prepare a seed bed, no power equipment, staying on the road right of way. 3. 3. Hand broadcast a native grass and forb seed mix suited to caliche soil at the labeled rate, hand rake it in, then hand mulch the seeded strip. 4. 4. Photograph the revegetated edge from the matching before vantage and record the seed mix and area seeded. Done when: Before photo of the bare caliche edge; Confirmation only hand tools were used, work stayed on the public road right of way; Native seed mix product or label photo and area seeded recorded; After photo of the revegetated, mulched edge 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 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.
