Faulkner Park, Tyler, TX
Build a native bioswale.
A crew digs a graded channel with shovels, adding check dams where the slope needs them, and plants it with native grasses at Faulkner Park, turning a bare runoff path into a filtering swale. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Build a native bioswale at Faulkner Park, Tyler, TX. Runoff sheets off the pavement at Faulkner Park in Tyler and floods the low ground instead of soaking in. A native-planted bioswale catches the flow and lets it filter into the ground. Intermediate work with gentle grading, surface-level only, call 811 before any digging beyond 12 inches.
Fund it for $400. 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
- Photograph the flat, unplanted runoff path end to end and record the site's GPS location before starting.
- Lay out the swale's centerline, gentle side slopes and check-dam locations to match the inspection's candidate plan.
- Grade the bed to the marked side slopes and build each check dam where the plan calls for one, logging the slope measurements as you go.
- Choose native or adapted plants suited to the site and plant them along the graded swale bed, photographing the planting as it goes in.
- Photograph the finished, graded and planted swale as the after picture.
- Run water into the finished swale and photograph or film it at intervals through the 24 to 48 hour window to show how it drains.
- Confirm no standing water remains once the window closes and record that result.
- Assemble the before and after photos, GPS record, slope log, plant list, planting photos and infiltration record as the proof submission.
What counts as done
- Before photos of the flat, unplanted runoff path
- Grading/slope log matching the inspection's candidate plan (gentle side slopes, check dams where needed)
- Native/adapted plant list + planting photos along the swale bed
- Infiltration water-test photo/video showing the swale draining within 24-48 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_1790797920154_6fxt7d9","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
