Deliver the downed wood tally to the county for Attoyac Bayou near San Augustine.

The survey above tallied downed wood in Attoyac Bayou near San Augustine, San Augustine County, TX by size class and by whether each piece sits against infrastructure or in the open channel, but a phone full of photos helps no one until the county road and bridge department and the river authority actually see the split, especially the piece(s) flagged against the SH 21 bridge that genuinely need attention versus the pieces out in open water that are doing real habitat work and do not.

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

submission confirmation photo plus report contents summary plus infrastructure/open split confirm 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 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. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
5. 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

• Photo or screenshot of the delivered report and its submission confirmation
• Summary of the wood tally and the infrastructure/open split included in the report
• Confirmation the report flagged infrastructure risk pieces separately from open channel habitat pieces
• Confirmation that this work never entered flowing water or waded into the channel, never used a chainsaw or power tool (except the licensed advanced placement crew), and never pried, dragged, cut, repositioned, or removed any log, branch, or root wad already in or touching the water; that the work stayed on the bridge deck, shoulder, or firm public bank ground well clear of the water line; that the water was checked and was not visibly high, fast, or muddy before starting; and that this survey/report/marker never argued against or contradicted the removal of wood that threatens a pier, culvert

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.
