All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Keep every planted basin, bioswale and rain garden near the D Line Wilshire/Fairfax build working, and log where none stands. Where a green stormwater basin sits on Wilshire Boulevard between Ogden Drive and Orange Grove Avenue, and Fairfax Avenue at the station heads, clear the litter and sediment at its inlet and outlet surface, weed it, restore the mulch depth, replace a dead plant from its native list with the owner's permission, and photograph it before and after. A basin that will not drain or a broken curb cut is filed on MyLA311, the City of Los Angeles service request line, and Metro's 24-hour project hotline with the reference number, never dug out. For the payer: - Price: $60 per job, counted in basins cleared. - Likely payer: LA Sanitation and Environment, through MyLA311 requests. - No license is needed: clearing litter and sediment and weeding a planted basin by hand is maintenance, not construction work, so no contractor license applies.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Stay outside the build's fence; work the public side. Work the basin surface by hand only, never reach into a pipe or a vault, and stay out of standing water; start after crew safety orientation.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof puncture-resistant boots for needles, glass and slick wet footing at the curb; cut-resistant gloves for glass, sharps and contaminated runoff.
- Outdoors: 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.
- Outdoors: 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.
Bring
- measuring tape
- GPS phone
- camera
- trowel / probe
- data sheet
- gloves
Steps
- 1. Locate the GI asset; record GPS; identify the type (rain garden / bioswale / permeable pavement / tree filter).
- 2. Photograph the asset, its inlet, and its outlet/overflow.
- 3. Check the inlet and outlet for blockage (sediment, trash, mulch) and note whether flow can enter/leave freely.
- 4. Check for standing water and estimate whether it drains within the design window (typically <24-48h after rain); probe media if dry.
- 5. Assess vegetation/media condition and estimate sediment/trash accumulation depth.
- 6. Note erosion, bypass, or structural damage and list the maintenance needed.
- 7. Enter asset type, condition, inlet/outlet status, drainage observation, sediment level, maintenance needs, GPS, photos; sign.
What counts as done
- Each planted basin, bioswale or rain garden located with a GPS point and photographed before and after, or a note that none stands on the block
- The debris and sediment cleared at the surface of its inlet and outlet, and the mulch depth restored
- Any basin that will not drain or any broken curb cut filed on the city's line with the reference number
- Sign-off: LA Sanitation closes the MyLA311 request, or the host or 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.
- Disposal: where the waste and any wash water went (the bin, the tipping site or the sanitary drain).
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
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
