All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Clear dumped trash and storm debris from the LA River bank at Rattlesnake Park in Los Angeles, CA, never entering the channel. This stretch carries a real load caught in the bank brush, and hand-clearing keeps it from washing further downstream. For the payer: - Price: $360 per job, counted in pounds of debris removed. - Likely payer: Measure W, the Safe Clean Water Program, through the project owner. - No license is needed: clearing storm debris and dumped trash by hand from a bank is maintenance, not construction work, so no contractor license applies.
Offer to pay $360. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
After the crew's safety orientation, work from the bank top only, never enter the channel or remove large woody debris that gives habitat structure, and wear gloves and closed-toe boots. Watch for sharps and unstable, undercut banks; this job asks for no licence or training.
The full safety list for this job:
- 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.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Obtain the project owner's signed scope or work order that names this site and its plan, and the owner's or agency's written consent, before any digging or lifting. For a Safe Clean Water Program project, add the project's name. Write both at the top of your proof. With no signed scope, stop.
- Stand at a fixed vantage point on the bank top and photograph the debris-choked segment before starting, noting the GPS location.
- Put on gloves and closed-toe boots before handling any debris.
- Working from the bank top only, pick up by hand the dumped trash and storm debris caught in the bank brush.
- Sort the collected material into trash, yard waste and recyclable piles as it is gathered.
- Weigh or measure the volume of each sorted pile and record the amount by type.
- Return to the same vantage point and photograph the cleared bank.
- Carry the sorted debris to a disposal or recycling drop-off point.
- Photograph the disposal or recycling drop-off, or keep the drop-off receipt, as the completed proof.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the debris-choked bank segment
- Debris weight or volume logged, separated by type (trash/yard waste/recyclable)
- After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared bank
- Disposal/recycling drop-off photo or receipt
- Scope: the project owner's signed scope or work order that names this site and its plan (and the Safe Clean Water Program project name, if there is one), dated before the first photo.
- Consent: the owner's or agency's written consent for this site, dated before the first photo.
- Sign-off: the project owner signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
- Capture: write the area you worked in square feet and the drainage area or capture volume in gallons that the project owner's scope gives for this site, next to the photos.
- Design basis: the feasibility study or design plan this site follows, named in the project owner's scope and written at the top of your proof.
- After the first real rain, photograph the same two points and write what the water did: where it ponded, where it ran and what it carried.
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
