All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Clear the bank litter and plant natives along one segment of Compton Creek at Slauson Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90001. The buffer survey is expected to find this segment choked with urban litter and bare of any native vegetation, and a bank-only sweep restores real habitat function without ever entering the water.

Offer to pay $360. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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

Safety, read before you claim

Work only from the bank or access road with the owner's written permission, a second person in sight and a check-in time. Do not enter the channel or water, never retrieve submerged or tangled debris, and stop if rain is forecast upstream or flow is rising. Never touch needles, syringes or unknown containers by hand: use tongs and a sharps container. Never touch, move or bag a tent, bedding or anyone's belongings; step back and report it to the owner and 311; employer provides water, shade and rests; wear boots.

The full safety list for this job:

  • Work from the bank/access road only: do NOT enter the creek channel or water (urban runoff contact is a contamination hazard); watch footing on unstable banks; never retrieve submerged/entangled debris: photograph and report it instead.
  • Watch footing and stay off any slope you could slide down. People may live along the bank: leave their belongings alone, do not confront anyone, and report what you saw; the job is the litter, not a sweep. Treat urban creek water as untreated runoff (bacteria, oil, metals, leptospirosis): gloves, boots, no hands to the mouth, wash before eating, cover cuts, keep tetanus shots current. Do not open or move paint, oil, batteries, gas cylinders or unknown powders; tires and heavy items stay for the agency. Banks fall away; no work above a vertical concrete wall and no reaching over water. Keep bag weights to what one person can carry and weigh with a hanging scale on a post. Rain miles upstream raises a channel quickly. Snakes and wasps use brush: look before reaching.
  • Orientation to the plan before the first bag: who to call, what to stop for (Title 8 section 3203).
  • Needles and syringes are never touched by hand: tongs and a sharps container. (Title 8 section 5193).
  • Bank work in sun: water, shade, rest breaks, watch each other; check air quality too (section 5141.1) (Title 8 section 3395).
  • Never enter the water or reach over it; keep a second person on firm ground and agree a check-in time (Title 8 section 1602).
  • Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof non-slip boots for slick banks, an abnormally wet location; cut-resistant waterproof gloves for glass, sharps and contaminated water.
  • Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
  • Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • grabber or tongs and a sharps container
  • cut-resistant gloves
  • rubber boots
  • hanging scale
  • first aid kit and a charged phone

Steps

  1. Before you go, check the weather and the bank: if the bank is occupied or flow is up, reschedule.
  2. Photograph the littered, bare bank segment from a fixed vantage as the before record.
  3. Record the GPS location of the segment being worked.
  4. Collect the litter along the bank with a grabber or tongs and cut-resistant gloves, working from the bank or access road without entering the creek channel or water. Never use bare hands and never reach into brush you cannot see.
  5. Bag the collected litter, weigh or count the bags and photograph them staged for disposal. Take the bags where the owner allows; never leave them on the bank, road or sidewalk.
  6. List the native riparian plants suited to the segment from the restoration buffer plan.
  7. Plant the listed natives only on the manager's marked area, with a dibble or trowel and holes no deeper than the pot, and call 811 where there are pipes, lights or irrigation. Photograph the planting as it happens.
  8. Photograph the cleared, planted bank segment from the same vantage as the before photo.

What counts as done

  • Before photo of the littered/bare bank segment
  • Litter weight or bag-count log with disposal photo
  • Native riparian plant list + planting photos along the restored segment
  • After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared, planted bank
  • The owner's written permission.
  • The manager's plant list.
  • A note of any needle, hazard or occupied area reported (no photos of people or their belongings).
  • The weight or bag count.
  • Plant count, species and planting date.

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
