Install a trash-capture screen.

Street trash from Tijuana's hillside colonias washes into storm drains that empty directly into Los Laureles Canyon and, eventually, the Tijuana River Estuary, a well-documented cross-border pollution path. A simple screen anchored at the drain outfall, worked entirely from dry pavement, catches trash before it reaches the canyon floor. This work never touches the canyon channel itself.

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.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the drain outfall is dry and accessible from the street or curb.
2. Measure the outfall opening for the capture screen.
3. Anchor the screen frame to the outfall using rated hardware, working from dry pavement only.
4. Test that water still passes through the screen without pooling.
5. Photograph the installed screen and record the install date.

What counts as done

• Photo of the outfall before install
• Photo of the anchored screen
• GPS-tagged date

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.
