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

park staff approval confirm plus before after photos plus stabilization 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.

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the eroded trail stretch before starting, from the same public vantage used in the survey.
2. 2. Confirm with park staff that the location is approved for erosion-control work on the park's public trail system. This work happens only during a scheduled Friends of Guadalupe River State Park and Honey Creek guided walk (registration required, no pets); Honey Creek State Natural Area is never entered outside a scheduled public guided tour, at any skill level.
3. 3. Install a water bar or erosion-control matting across the trail-tread channel by hand, directing runoff off the trail before it can reach the spring or creek, hand tools only.
4. 4. Photograph the finished installation and confirm the channel is stabilized.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the eroded trail-tread channel
• Park staff approval of the erosion-control location recorded
• Confirmation that this job never entered Honey Creek State Natural Area outside a scheduled public guided tour; that it never entered the creek or spring, never touched or disturbed travertine or moss, and never collected any plant, animal, mineral, or water sample from the creek, spring, or river; that any river-adjacent work stayed bank-top only with the current weather and flash-flood forecast checked before starting; and that sturdy footwear, sun protection, and adequate water were carried given Hill Country heat and steep limestone footing.
• After photo of the installed water bar or matting with the channel stabilized

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
