public streets, community parks and river bluff overlooks, Memphis, Shelby County, TN
Observe the recharge and capture sites serving the Memphis Sand aquifer and the Mississippi River, Memphis, TN.
Walk the public perimeter of every recharge or capture basin nearest Memphis and call it wet or dry. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $80 proposed.
Proof it takes, the deadline, the level
- ProofGPS with dated photo per basin + a wet or dry call with covered fraction + inlet condition + any public gauge reading

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Walk the public perimeter of every recharge or capture basin nearest Memphis and call it wet or dry. Water put back is the only kind that stays. Record for each how much of the floor is covered, whether the inlet is clear or blocked, what is growing in it, and the reading on any public gauge or staff plate. Where the place has no engineered recharge site, say so plainly and observe the nearest public stormwater capture basin instead, naming what it is. Tennessee well permits and the local board's production permits is the frame; the basin floor is the evidence.
Fund it for $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS phone and camera
- measuring tape and a marked stake or grade rod
- shovel, mattock, rake and a wheelbarrow for the planting rung
- stiff brush, wet vacuum and clean joint aggregate for the permeable surface rung
- a marked container and a stopwatch for the timed pour
- hi-vis vest, gloves, and the 811 locate ticket before any digging
Steps
- 1. Confirm authority before anything else: the owning agency named, the written permission in hand, and for any digging an honored 811 locate ticket recorded with its number and date.
- 2. For an observation packet, walk the public perimeter of each basin and record a GPS waypoint and a dated photo, a wet or dry call with the fraction of the floor holding water stated as an estimate, the inlet and outlet condition, and any public staff gauge reading transcribed with its units. Do not enter the basin and do not touch an inlet structure.
- 3. For a bioretention packet, find where the water already arrives, size the basin to the roof or pavement area it will take, and mark the polygon before cutting. The water must arrive the way it already arrives: no pipe is cut, joined or re-routed.
- 4. Shape the basin no deeper than 12 inches, loosen and amend the floor, set a stone splash pad at the inlet, and set the overflow so a storm larger than the design leaves on the path it already used.
- 5. Plant regionally native deep rooted species at spacing, mulch to the specified depth without burying the crowns, and photograph from the same two vantage points used before the work.
- 6. For a permeable surface packet, run a timed pour at a marked spot before touching anything: a measured volume of water, the seconds to drain, both written down. Then sweep and vacuum, hand clear the joints of packed fines, top up with the specified clean aggregate, and repeat the timed pour at the same marked spot.
- 7. Prove the outcome rather than the effort: for a basin, a photograph showing drawdown within 48 hours of the first fill; for a permeable surface, the before and after pour times side by side.
What counts as done
- A GPS waypoint and a dated photo from the public perimeter of each basin, with the operating agency named or marked unknown
- A wet or dry call per basin with the fraction of the floor holding water, estimated from the photo and stated as an estimate
- Inlet and outlet condition: clear, partly blocked or blocked, with what is blocking it
- Any public staff gauge, marker or posted reading transcribed with its units, or marked none present
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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 that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788300592940_o91u7kl","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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
