Hand-clear surface debris from a public roadside drainage ditch on the Texas Ave corridor, site 3, Texas Ave and Roundbunch Rd corridor, Bridge City, TX 77611 (public right-of-way) (2026-07-24)

Wind-blown trash and brush pile up along this public roadside ditch in Bridge City, and every piece left there is one Gulf Coast downpour away from backing floodwater across the road, in a town that has flooded repeatedly from Rita, Ike, Harvey, and Laura. Standard: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience. Proof: before/after photos + debris-volume log + dry-conditions confirm + GPS Method (FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience.): 1. 1. Walk the dry, accessible top of a public roadside drainage ditch along the Texas Ave or Roundbunch Rd corridor under normal, non-storm conditions and photograph the debris as found. 2. 2. Hand-clear surface trash and vegetation blockage (bags, bottles, wind-blown litter, downed brush) from the ditch top, bagging it for haul-off. 3. 3. Never enter standing or moving water in the ditch, and never work during or right after a storm, surface-edge clearing only in dry conditions. 4. 4. Photograph the cleared ditch edge from the matching before vantage and log the debris volume removed. Done when: before/after photos + debris-volume log + dry-conditions confirm + GPS

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

before/after photos + debris-volume log + dry-conditions confirm + GPS

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.
