Haul the dry flood debris off an invited Whitesburg property

Years after the 2022 flood, ruined furniture, fencing, and building scrap still sit stacked on Letcher County properties whose owners can't haul it. Clearing the dry, weathered debris from an invited yard finishes a recovery the family started long ago — and it must stay strictly dry-material work. Standard: FEMA private property debris removal practice; SDG 11. Proof: Wide before/after photos plus the load photo Method (FEMA private property debris removal practice; SDG 11.): 1. Confirm the owner invitation and walk the property to inventory the dry debris piles. 2. Load dry furniture, fencing, and scrap for the legal drop-off or staged pickup point. 3. Separate metal for recycling where the host program takes it. 4. Rake the cleared ground. 5. Photograph the property before and after and the staged or delivered load with GPS and date. Done when: Wide before/after photos plus the load photo

Pay

$80 proposed

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

Wide before/after photos plus the load photo

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen

Bring

• GPS phone
• tape/ruler for deposition depth
• metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
• boots + gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
3. 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
4. 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
5. 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
6. 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
• Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.

What counts as done

• Deposition depth recorded at representative points
• Metals screen recorded (if in scope)
• Debris/hazard note + extent sketch
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
