Document a bare Los Olmos Creek bank segment in Kingsville, site 1, a public creek…. Fund it for $85. Proof lands on-chain when it's done.

This Los Olmos Creek sand-plain bank-top segment on the public creek trail in Kingsville shows bare eroding sand or lacks native riparian tree and shrub cover above the waterline, with no photo record to prioritize it for hand planted restoration. Standard: Texas Stream Team riparian assessment protocol plus USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 391 riparian forest buffer (bank-top native riparian tree and shrub planting above the waterline), applied here to the Los Olmos Creek sand-plain reach at a public creek trail in Kingsville, TX, Kleberg County, draining toward Baffin Bay. SDG 15.1 and 6.6. Proof: document only stand off photo log plus bank condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (Texas Stream Team riparian assessment protocol plus USDA NRCS conservation practice standard 391 riparian forest buffer (bank-top native riparian tree and shrub planting above the waterline), applied here to the Los Olmos Creek sand-plain reach at a public creek trail in Kingsville, TX, Kleberg County, draining toward Baffin Bay. SDG 15.1 and 6.6.): 1. 1. From the public creek trail, photograph a bare or eroding Los Olmos Creek bank-top segment without entering the creek. 2. 2. Note whether the bank shows bare eroding sand, sparse cover, or intact native riparian tree and shrub cover. 3. 3. Photograph the site from a fixed reference point for future comparison. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for the native riparian planting crew.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 90–180 minutes. Method of record: Urban-creek riparian restoration install (native buffer planting, bank stabilization, invasive/litter removal) per NRCS CPS 391 riparian forest buffer + EPA nonpoint-source BMP practice -- hands-on restoration, not a bioassessment survey; assess->clear->plant/stabilize->verify

Bring

shovel / dibble bar
native bare-root or plug plantings (locally sourced)
erosion-control matting or willow stakes (bank-stabilization sites)
loppers / hand saw (invasive removal)
gloves + trash bags (litter pass)
camera
GPS-enabled phone

Steps

1. Walk the reach with the site plan (or the standing bioassessment/watershed-health finding, if one exists) and photograph the bank/buffer segment as found: bare soil, invasive cover, litter, erosion.
2. Clear invasive growth and litter from the planting zone by hand, bagging trash separately from green waste; leave native volunteers in place.
3. Plant native riparian species (or set willow stakes / erosion-control matting) at the spacing and depth the site plan calls for, working from the top of bank downward; water each planting in.
4. Stake or anchor any erosion-control matting so it will not lift in the next high-flow event, and mulch around new plantings kept clear of stems.
5. Photograph the finished segment from the matching vantage, record species/count or matting area installed, and note any follow-up watering the planting needs.

If it does not match the plan

Steep, actively eroding or undercut bank -> stabilize with matting/stakes before planting; never plant into a bank that is still actively failing.
Standing or fast-moving water in the work zone -> stay on the bank, never enter the channel; document from the bank and reschedule if the reach is unsafe.
Suspected illicit discharge, sheen, or odor in the reach -> stop, photograph from a safe distance, do not touch, and report to the MS4/311 line rather than working through it.

What counts as done

Photo of the bank segment taken from the public creek trail
Note of the bank condition (bare eroding sand, sparse cover, or intact native riparian cover)
Ranked follow on note naming the segment for the native riparian planting crew
GPS waypoint of the surveyed segment

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
