All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Runoff sheets off the hard surfaces around the Johnson Creek greenbelt and floods low spots in Arlington during DFW downpours. A shallow planted basin that catches and soaks in that runoff eases the flooding and feeds native plants. Surface-level only, call 811 before any digging beyond 12 inches.
Fund it for $380. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Call 811 and wait for the utility locate to be marked before digging.
- Photograph the downspout or curb-cut and the flat ground it drains onto, before any digging.
- Dig the basin by hand to the depth and size set out in the inspection's candidate plan, logging the depth and dimensions against that plan.
- Select native or adapted plants for the basin and record the plant list.
- Plant the basin with the listed species and photograph the planting.
- Pour water into the finished basin and record a photo or video of it draining within 24 to 48 hours.
What counts as done
- Before photos of the downspout/curb-cut and the flat ground it feeds
- Basin excavation depth + sizing log against the inspection's candidate plan
- Native/adapted plant list + planting photos
- Infiltration water-test photo/video showing the basin draining within 24-48 hours
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_1790797689178_u3dddjw","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. 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
