All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Reset any rock structure that moved in the gully after the season's first big flow, a resident's own property, Ozona, TX (Crockett County). A hand built rock structure either seats itself in the first big flow it sees or tells you it was built wrong, and the only way to find out is to go back and look. This rung walks every structure built in this chain, the step-pool at the head, the rundown, the deflector, and the one-rock dam, after the season's first significant flow, and resets anything that shifted, silted in past its design intent, or needs a rock replaced.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
If rain is forecast in the watershed, or the channel is wet or flowing, this work waits for a dry, clear day. Confirm resident permission and whether the county requires a permit for placing rock in this channel before starting.
The full safety list for this job:
- Before anything else, check the weather forecast for this whole watershed and check upstream conditions, not just the sky overhead.
- If rain is forecast anywhere in the watershed today or tonight, or water is already flowing in the channel, or the channel bed is still wet from a recent rain, this work does not proceed and is rescheduled for a dry, clear day with a dry channel.
- Confirm permission from the resident or property owner, and confirm with the county floodplain or drainage office whether a permit is required for placing rock in this channel, since permit rules can apply even on private property when a channel sits inside a mapped floodplain, before placing a single rock.
- This work does not begin until that confirmation is in hand.
- Hand tools and hand carried native rock only.
- No digging machine, no skid steer, and no power equipment of any kind appears anywhere in this work.
- Two person handling for any rock too heavy to carry alone, and no rock is ever lifted above waist height.
- Sturdy gloves and boots are worn at all times, and rocks are lifted with the legs, never the back.
- The finished structure is never taller than knee height.
- If the site genuinely needs anything taller than that, this is not a job for this rung; that is dam engineering, and it needs an engineer and a permit.
- This work never builds a beaver dam analog or a post assisted structure of any kind.
- Every structure here is loose, hand placed native rock only, never wood, never posts, never wire.
- Summer heat on exposed rock and dry channel ground in this part of Texas is severe with little shade.
- Work in the early morning or evening, carry more water than you think you need, wear sun protection, and take frequent shade breaks.
- Rattlesnakes, fire ants, and thorny brush are common on this ground.
- Watch foot and hand placement before reaching under or behind any rock, and give any snake a wide path.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Wait until after the season's first significant flow has fully drained, and confirm no rain is forecast for the watershed, before entering the channel.
- 2. Walk the full chain, headcut step-pool, rundown, deflector, and one-rock dam, photographing each structure's current condition against its own original after-photo.
- 3. Hand reset, re-key, or add rock to any structure that shifted, undercut, or silted in beyond its design intent, following the same hand-tools and height limits as the original build.
- 4. Photograph each reset structure and record which of the four needed work this season and which held as built.
What counts as done
- Confirmation that work began only after the season's first significant flow had fully drained and no rain was forecast
- Before photo of each of the four structures showing current condition against its own original after-photo
- Confirmation that any shifted or undercut rock was reset by hand within the same height and tools limits as the original build
- After photo of each reset structure with a note on which structures needed work this season
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
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.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
