All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Repair an eroding earthen stock-watering dugout, pond 1 -- a working cattle ranch along the Little Missouri River near Watford City, ND 58854. This ranch's earthen stock-watering dugout has a sloughing, eroded bank and a silted-in bottom after years of unmanaged cattle access, cutting its water-holding capacity every dry summer; reshaping the bank slope and clearing the accumulated silt (NRCS CPS 378 pattern) restores the pond's capacity and stops the erosion from spreading.
Fund it for $780. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Trained heavy-equipment operator only (excavator/dozer work near open water); coordinate access and timing with the landowner; check for active wildlife/waterfowl use of the pond before disturbing it; never work alone near open water with equipment.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Coordinate access and timing with the landowner for the dugout this job's title names.
- Check the pond for active wildlife or waterfowl use before starting work.
- Photograph the eroded bank and the silted pond bottom as the before record.
- Measure the bank's slope and record the reading before reshaping.
- Reshape the bank to the target slope using the heavy equipment assigned to this job.
- Clear the accumulated silt from the pond bottom, logging the volume removed as work proceeds.
- Measure the bank's slope again and check the pond's water-holding depth after reshaping.
- Photograph the reshaped bank and cleared pond as the after record.
- Record the GPS location and file the before/after photos, bank-slope measurements, silt-removal volume log and depth check as the proof packet.
What counts as done
- Before photos of the eroded bank and silted pond bottom
- Bank-slope measurement before and after reshaping (target slope per NRCS CPS 378)
- Silt-removal volume log recorded during clearing
- After photos + a water-holding depth check confirming restored capacity
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.
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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
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
