Safety, read before you claim
Needs someone who can follow the clean-hands, dirty-hands protocol; no licence is asked. Wear no waterproof gear, eat no fast food, keep PTFE away, sample only from a safe public spot, never enter the channel or outfall, and document only if unsafe.
The full safety list for this job:
- No entry into the channel, outfall structure, or any active operations, sample only from a safe public vantage.
- Sampling only, no site remediation; if the point cannot be reached safely, document only.
- Contamination-control critical:
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- lab-provided HDPE (non-PTFE) bottles
- powderless nitrile gloves
- lab-provided field blank water
- cooler + ice
- GPS phone
- camera
- chain-of-custody form
Steps
- 1. Before arrival, review the clean-hands/dirty-hands protocol; avoid fast food, cosmetics, and waterproof/Teflon gear that day.
- 2. Navigate to the point; record GPS; photograph the source.
- 3. Don powderless nitrile gloves; keep all fluoropolymer (PTFE/Teflon) away from the sample.
- 4. Collect the sample into the HDPE bottle per Method 537.1; do NOT rinse with sample water.
- 5. Collect a field blank alongside using the lab-provided water.
- 6. Cool immediately; complete the chain-of-custody; ship to the accredited lab within the hold time.
- 7. Record GPS, time, photos, blank, and COC number in the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Photo of sampling point
- GPS waypoint
- PFAS-clean sample collected per 537.1 (no PTFE, no field contamination)
- Chain-of-custody to accredited lab
- Field blank documented
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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
