Re photograph the wood accumulation from the marker near Lufkin.

A photo point marker was set at the public bank access near the historic US 59 bridge over the Angelina River, Lufkin, Angelina County, TX 75901 to track the Angelina River wood accumulation, but a marker no one revisits records nothing; a repeat photo matched to the same vantage every season is what turns it into an actual before-and-after record of growth, movement, or loss.

$80 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

matched vantage photo plus change note plus delivery 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 taken from the marker vantage matching the install photo
• Change note (growth, movement, loss, or new debris) since the last round
• Delivery confirmation to the county or river authority contact
• 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.
