Clear the blocked Feather River-side storm drain inlets flagged.

The fall inlet survey in low-town Oroville flagged several storm drains already partly blocked with leaf litter, and a blocked inlet during a Feather River basin storm is exactly the kind of small failure that turns into a flooded intersection. Clearing the grates by hand now, before the heavy winter storms, keeps water moving where it belongs.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photo of each cleared inlet

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.

Steps

1. Bring the ranked inlet list from the fall survey to the site.
2. Clear leaf litter and trash off the grate opening by hand with gloves.
3. Never lift the grate or reach down into the drain box, clear the surface opening only.
4. Bag the cleared debris for normal trash pickup.
5. Photograph each cleared inlet next to its before photo.
6. Mark the inlet as cleared on the survey list.

What counts as done

• Before photo from survey
• After photo of cleared grate
• Updated survey list

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.
