Check the storm drain.

In gloves, a tester photographs the storm drain outfall at Arroyo Seco outfall, 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

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

Photograph the outfall at Arroyo Seco outfall, South Pasadena CA and measure conductivity, ammonia, and surfactants in the dry-weather flow. That flow indicates possible illicit discharge or urban runoff, and the pollutant indicators are unmeasured.

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.

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

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

Vote for it, free Pledge backing, free
