Install a storm drain filter insert at the Kietzke Lane and Wells Avenue inlet

The storm drain inlet at Kietzke Lane and Wells Avenue collects heavy street debris that backs up flow during Reno's short, intense summer storms, raising local flood risk at this low point in the corridor. A filter insert keeps the inlet flowing and traps debris before it reaches the storm system. Standard: SDG 11.5, reduce disaster impacts and build flood resilience Proof: Photo of the installed insert under the open grate, then the reset grate. Method (SDG 11.5, reduce disaster impacts and build flood resilience): 1. Locate the storm drain inlet and lift the grate with a pry bar. 2. Clear debris and sediment from the inlet throat by hand. 3. Fit the filter insert to the inlet dimensions and set it in place under the grate. 4. Reset the grate flush and confirm it seats without rocking. 5. Photograph the installed insert and the clear inlet. Done when: Photo of the installed insert under the open grate, then the reset grate.

$280 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.

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.
