Los Angeles River access point, Los Angeles CA

Check the storm drain outfall near Los Angeles River access point, Los Angeles CA.

In gloves, a tester photographs the storm drain outfall at Los Angeles River access point, then takes conductivity, ammonia and surfactant readings from outside the pipe, turning an unchecked outfall into a logged dry weather record. Read all of it

Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $240 proposed.

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

Take a water-quality reading at the storm drain outfall near Los Angeles River access point, Los Angeles, CA. It may be carrying pollution into the creek during dry weather and has never been checked; the reading tells the watershed group if there is a problem.

Offer to pay $240. 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
photo of outfall + GPS + conductivity/ammonia/surfactant readings

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Safety, read before you claim

Needs a person who can use pH, conductivity and ammonia test kits and log the readings; no licence is asked. Stay on the bank, do not enter the storm drain, watch for traffic on channel access, and wear gloves and a hi-vis vest.

How this work is done

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • GPS phone
  • pH meter or strips
  • conductivity meter
  • ammonia + iron test kit as specified
  • surfactant screen if specified
  • gloves
  • camera

Steps

  1. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
  2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
  3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
  4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
  5. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

  • Photo of outfall with any visible flow
  • GPS waypoint
  • Conductivity (µS/cm)
  • Ammonia reading
  • Surfactant (detergent) screen result
  • Flow present in dry weather? yes/no

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
