Build a crescent rock deflector to turn the gully's cutting bank back to center, a resident's own property, Ozona, TX (Crockett County).

Below the two points already treated, this gully's outside bank is still cutting sideways where the current runs straight at it. A media luna, a crescent of hand placed rock set against that bank, turns the flow back toward the channel center instead of letting it keep undermining the bank on every flow.

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

weather/upstream check confirm + permission/permit confirm + before/after photos + crescent orientation confirm + 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.

Steps

1. 1. Walk the cutting bank on stable, dry ground and photograph it before starting, noting where the current runs straight at the bank.
2. 2. Confirm permission and any permit requirement exactly as described in this rung's safety notes before placing a single rock.
3. 3. Hand place rock in a crescent shape against the toe of the cutting bank, horns pointed upstream, so the crescent's face turns the current back toward the channel center rather than into the bank.
4. 4. Confirm the finished crescent is knee height or lower and photograph it from the same before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the cutting bank showing the current running against it
• Confirmation that the weather and upstream conditions were checked and the channel was dry before work began
• Confirmation that permission and any required permit were confirmed before the first rock was placed
• After photo of the finished crescent deflector from the matching before vantage, with its horns-upstream orientation recorded

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.
