Keep the weekly stand-off dust record on Salton City's shoreline side (2026-08-03)

Salton City fronts miles of newly exposed lakebed whose fine dust carries decades of agricultural residue inland on every west wind. A weekly stand-off photo record from town streets (plume direction, visibility, dust-fall) documents what residents breathe for the state's Salton Sea dust-control program, without anyone setting foot on the playa. Standard: California Salton Sea Management Program dust suppression context, SDG 3. Proof: Weekly stand-off dust log with photos Method (California Salton Sea Management Program dust suppression context, SDG 3.): 1. Observe from fixed public points at the town's shoreline-facing streets weekly and during wind events. 2. Photograph plumes, visibility lines, and dust-fall on parked cars and sills. 3. Log wind direction and strength per entry. 4. Upload photos and the log with GPS and date. Done when: Dated plume and visibility photos; Wind log entries; Dust-fall photos where present

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.

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: EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5)

Bring

• calibrated PM2.5 monitor
• GPS phone
• wind/weather note source
• hi-vis vest
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway.
2. 2. Photograph each monitoring location.
3. 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period.
4. 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic).
5. 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference.
6. 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Roadside work near heavy traffic -> stay off travel lanes; hi-vis at all times.
• Near-source PM2.5 well above background and NAAQS -> flag an environmental-justice exposure concern.

What counts as done

• Dated plume and visibility photos
• Wind log entries
• Dust-fall photos where present

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
