Set a rim setback delineation, a public road pull off near the Lower Pecos canyon rim, site 1, site 2.

The survey above found bare, eroding ground advancing toward the Lower Pecos canyon rim edge at a public road pull off near the Lower Pecos canyon rim, site 1; hand set setback delineation on established ground keeps vehicles and foot traffic back from an undercut rim edge that can fail without warning, never approaching the edge itself to place it.

$180 proposed

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

public right of way approval confirm plus before after photos plus delineation material 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

• Before photo of the bare or eroding rim edge ground
• Public road right of way boundary confirmed, no private ranch land entered
• Confirmation that this work never descended into the canyon, climbed, scrambled, or rappelled on any canyon wall or rim rock, and never approached the rim edge, staying set back on established public ground or a public road at all times; that no canyon wall seep, spring, hanging garden, or other water on site was entered, waded in, dipped into, drunk from, or otherwise disturbed, and no water sample was collected; that no cultural or archaeological feature was mentioned, located, described, or photographed; that no organism or plant was handled or collected; that no precise location of an indi
• Delineation material used recorded (rock cairn or rope line)
• After photo of the finished delineation on established ground

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Soil Health. Soil health is the discovery, now written into USDA standards, that soil is not dirt but a living body: it breathes, digests, holds water, and can sicken or recover. The tests are wonderfully physical. Time how fast water soaks in. See whether a clod holds together in water or falls apart. Smell for the sweetness of organic matter. Mastery looks like a farmer who can read a handful of ground like a page. This packet is one plot examined by those methods and recorded, one honest page in the story of a piece of land.
