Plant a native evergreen noise-and-light buffer on public land facing AWS Project Rainier, New Carlisle, IN.

Where the night measurement found the campus loud or bright at a home or park, plant the public side: a dense row of regionally native evergreens and shrubs on city park strip or right-of-way between the neighborhood and AWS Project Rainier, with the parks authority's written permission and an 811 locate. A living buffer is the community's own fix and it also feeds the pollinator edge.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

written permission + 811 ticket + GPS + before/after photos + species list + watering plan

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.

Bring

• sound level meter or calibrated phone app (dB(A))
• sky quality meter or calibrated phone app
• GPS phone with camera
• hi-vis vest and a second person for night work
• for planting: hand tools, native evergreen stock, 811 locate ticket, written permission

Steps

1. 1. From public ground after 10 p.m., choose fixed waypoints: nearest home, nearest park, and one control point away from the campus; photograph each.
2. 2. Log sound level in dB(A) at each waypoint with time and the meter or app used; log sky brightness at each with the instrument used.
3. 3. Cite the local ordinance's night limits and the WHO guideline beside the readings; this is documentation only, the boundary itself is never touched.
4. 4. For the permit packet, pull the state air permit, count generator units with fuel and size, record the annual run-hour limits and any complaints or notices of violation on file.
5. 5. For a buffer planting, obtain the parks or public-works authority's written permission and an 811 locate; plant a dense row of regionally native evergreens and shrubs on public land between homes and the campus, never on or against the fence; record species, counts, source and the watering plan.
6. 6. Publish the readings or the planting record with GPS and photos; anchor the file via vealth.net/anchor.

What counts as done

• The parks or public-works authority's written permission and the 811 locate ticket number
• GPS waypoints of the row with before and after photos
• Species list with counts, all regionally native, and the nursery source
• The watering and first-year care plan with the named steward

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
