Slow sediment moving off a hog wallow's runoff path, a public dry-ground vantage of a feral hog wallow near a park trail or bottomland flat.

The survey above found an active sediment path carrying mud from a feral hog wallow toward the park's lake or a wetland margin near a public dry-ground vantage of a feral hog wallow near a park trail or bottomland flat at Fort Parker State Park, site 1 at Fort Parker State Park; hand placed brush and small rock across the runoff path, worked entirely from dry ground away from the wallow itself, slows that sediment before it reaches the water.

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

before after photos plus dry ground confirm plus material used record plus GPS of the general vantage only

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. Confirm no hog is present nearby before starting, and photograph the active runoff path before work begins, standing on dry stable ground the entire time.
2. 2. Working only along the runoff path, well clear of the wallow's wet edge, hand place brush and small rock in a shallow check to slow and spread the flow, never touching the wallow's water or mud.
3. 3. Confirm the placement does not dam or redirect water into a new uncontrolled path, hand tools only.
4. 4. Photograph the finished placement and confirm no water was touched and no animal was approached during the work.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the active sediment runoff path
• Confirmation the work stayed on dry ground, never touching the wallow's water or mud
• Confirmation that this work never trapped, snared, baited, shot, hunted, or used dogs against any hog, built no capture-designed fence, performed no aerial work, and applied no toxicant; that no hog, live or dead, was touched, approached, followed, cornered, or photographed at close range and no carcass was touched; that if a hog was seen or heard nearby the work stopped and the person left the area; that this work was never scheduled at dawn or dusk; that no wallow water or mud was waded into, touched by hand, or sampled; that no precise coordinate of a wallow or rooting concentration was rec
• Brush or rock material used recorded
• After photo of the finished sediment check placement

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.
