Install a storm-drain trash capture device, Dodge Park

The storm inlet at the Dodge Park parking lot carries every dropped wrapper and cup straight toward the Scioto with the next rain; a catch-basin trash-capture insert intercepts it before it leaves the park. Standard: EPA green-infrastructure inspection — bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance; SDG 6.3/11.5. Proof: Before photo of the inlet + Install photos of the capture device + Finished, flush-grate photo + maintenance-check schedule logged Method (EPA green-infrastructure inspection — bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance; SDG 6.3/11.5.): 1. Photograph the inlet as found and confirm the grate size matches the capture device. 2. Lift the grate and set the capture device/insert per manufacturer instructions. 3. Reset the grate and confirm it seats flush and secure. 4. Photograph the finished install and log the maintenance-check schedule. Done when: Before photo of the inlet + Install photos of the capture device + Finished, flush-grate photo + maintenance-check schedule logged

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.

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.
