Clear loose dumped litter from the 7th St and Alvarado St curb strips (2026-08-02)
Clear loose dumped litter from the 7th St and Alvarado St curb strips (2026-08-02). Fund it for $300. Proof lands on-chain when it's done.
Small illegal dumping piles on this corridor's public right-of-way sit for weeks between pickups; a gloved, bagged removal of loose non-hazardous litter (no furniture, no e-waste, no unknown containers — report those, never touch) restores the block the same day. Standard: US EPA Rapid Bioassessment Protocols; SDG 6.3/6.6. Proof: before/after photo pairs + disposal receipt/photo + GPS Reference method for the watershed_health standard (EPA dry-weather / AMD field screening, ~30-60 min): 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no). 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, pH meter or strips, conductivity meter, ammonia + iron test kit as specified, surfactant screen if specified, gloves, camera Done when: Before photo of the dumped debris; After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared site; Disposal photo/receipt at the proper facility
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. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
- 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
- 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
- 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
- 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
- Before photo of the dumped debris
- After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared site
- Disposal photo/receipt at the proper facility
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1785704637770_iowkilh","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours, and signing costs nothing: no card, no deposit, no fee. An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
