All of it: the words, the place, the proof
This home's frontage segment sheds runoff straight to the storm drain, ground that a hand-dug, native-planted bioswale would otherwise slow and filter before it reaches the Trinity River.

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. Call 811 and confirm the treatment segment with the resident and city staff, then photograph the flat, untreated curb segment before starting.
- 2. Hand-dig a shallow, gently sloped swale bed set back from the curb, hand tools only, no power digging equipment.
- 3. Plant native, water-tolerant grasses and forbs along the swale bed at the design spacing.
- 4. Water in the planting and photograph the finished bioswale from the matching before vantage, recording the plant list and swale dimensions.
What counts as done
- Before photos of the flat, unplanted curb segment
- Swale bed dimensions and grading recorded
- Native/adapted plant list with planting photos along the swale bed
- Infiltration water-test photo/video showing the swale draining within 24 to 48 hours, no standing water past that window
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.
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_1789304824709_0hmp3nf","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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
