Check the parking-lot drainage at First Presbyterian Church, Worland

The church parking lot sheets every drop of rain and snowmelt straight to the street gutter with no infiltration, and nobody has inspected where the downspouts actually discharge. Standard: EPA green-infrastructure inspection — bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance; SDG 6.3/11.5. Proof: photo inventory of discharge points + siting recommendation + GPS Method (EPA green-infrastructure inspection — bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance; SDG 6.3/11.5.): 1. Walk the lot and downspout discharge points and photograph each. 2. Note ponding, erosion, and any downspout discharging directly onto pavement. 3. Identify the best catchment point for a rain garden (lowest downspout, adequate setback from foundation). 4. Compile the findings into a short siting recommendation. Done when: photo inventory of discharge points + siting recommendation + GPS

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. 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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo inventory of discharge points + siting recommendation + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–75 minutes. Method of record: EPA green-infrastructure inspection (bioretention / bioswale / permeable pavement function + maintenance)

Bring

• measuring tape
• GPS phone
• camera
• trowel / probe
• data sheet
• gloves

Steps

1. 1. Locate the GI asset; record GPS; identify the type (rain garden / bioswale / permeable pavement / tree filter).
2. 2. Photograph the asset, its inlet, and its outlet/overflow.
3. 3. Check the inlet and outlet for blockage (sediment, trash, mulch) and note whether flow can enter/leave freely.
4. 4. Check for standing water and estimate whether it drains within the design window (typically <24-48h after rain); probe media if dry.
5. 5. Assess vegetation/media condition and estimate sediment/trash accumulation depth.
6. 6. Note erosion, bypass, or structural damage and list the maintenance needed.
7. 7. Enter asset type, condition, inlet/outlet status, drainage observation, sediment level, maintenance needs, GPS, photos; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water persists > 48h after rain -> flag failed infiltration (clogged media) for rehab.
• Inlet or outlet blocked -> flag for cleaning; the asset isn't capturing runoff.
• Erosion, undercutting, or flow bypassing the asset -> flag for repair.
• Documentation only — no digging out media or altering structures.

What counts as done

• Asset type + overall condition recorded
• Inlet + outlet clear/blocked status recorded
• Standing-water / infiltration observation recorded
• Sediment/trash level + maintenance recommendations + GPS + photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
