Clear and haul the yard debris that blocks drainage at invited Corcoran homes

Corcoran yards hold years of accumulated debris — pallets, green waste, broken furniture — that will float, dam gutters, and block drainage when serious water comes. Clearing invited properties before the wet season removes tomorrow's floating hazards and today's fire fuel in one pass. The 2023 lake year made the stakes plain. Standard: FEMA pre-flood property preparation practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. Proof: Same-angle before/after photos plus disposal confirmation with GPS/date Method (FEMA pre-flood property preparation practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities.): 1. Walk the invited property with the occupant and agree what goes. 2. Stage debris in sorted piles: green waste, metal, trash, bulky items. 3. Load and haul each stream to its legal destination the same day. 4. Rake clear the drainage path from the yard to the street gutter. 5. Photograph before and after from the same angles and record the haul with GPS and date. Done when: Same-angle before/after photos plus disposal confirmation with GPS/date

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 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.
