Seed a bare public right-of-way strip with native grasses to slow karst recharge runoff, site 1, College Street (US Highway 377/83) corridor, Junction, TX 76849 (public right-of-way) (2026-07-24)

This public right-of-way strip along College Street sits bare over the thin karst soil of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, shedding rainfall straight downhill instead of letting it soak in, which a native grass and wildflower planting would slow and hold. Standard: EPA green-infrastructure inspection, bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance, capturing runoff before it sheets off thin karst topsoil straight into the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone instead of soaking in. SDG 6.3/11.5. Proof: right-of-way siting confirm + before/after photos + seed-mix/rate record + GPS Method (EPA green-infrastructure inspection, bioretention/bioswale/permeable-pavement function + maintenance, capturing runoff before it sheets off thin karst topsoil straight into the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone instead of soaking in. SDG 6.3/11.5.): 1. 1. Confirm the right-of-way boundary with the city or county roads department and photograph the bare, thin-soil karst ground before seeding. 2. 2. Lightly rake the crusted surface to break the cap without disturbing any buried utility, staying entirely within the confirmed public right-of-way. 3. 3. Broadcast a native Edwards Plateau grass and wildflower seed mix at the design rate and lightly rake it in. 4. 4. Water in if conditions allow, and photograph the seeded area from the matching before vantage, recording seed mix and application rate. Done when: right-of-way siting confirm + before/after photos + seed-mix/rate record + 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.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–75 minutes. Method of record: EPA green-infrastructure inspection (bioretention / bioswale / permeable pavement function + maintenance)

Bring

• measuring tape
• GPS phone
• camera
• trowel / probe
• data sheet
• gloves

Steps

1. 1. Locate the GI asset; record GPS; identify the type (rain garden / bioswale / permeable pavement / tree filter).
2. 2. Photograph the asset, its inlet, and its outlet/overflow.
3. 3. Check the inlet and outlet for blockage (sediment, trash, mulch) and note whether flow can enter/leave freely.
4. 4. Check for standing water and estimate whether it drains within the design window (typically <24-48h after rain); probe media if dry.
5. 5. Assess vegetation/media condition and estimate sediment/trash accumulation depth.
6. 6. Note erosion, bypass, or structural damage and list the maintenance needed.
7. 7. Enter asset type, condition, inlet/outlet status, drainage observation, sediment level, maintenance needs, GPS, photos; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water persists > 48h after rain -> flag failed infiltration (clogged media) for rehab.
• Inlet or outlet blocked -> flag for cleaning; the asset isn't capturing runoff.
• Erosion, undercutting, or flow bypassing the asset -> flag for repair.
• Documentation only — no digging out media or altering structures.

What counts as done

• Asset type + overall condition recorded
• Inlet + outlet clear/blocked status recorded
• Standing-water / infiltration observation recorded
• Sediment/trash level + maintenance recommendations + GPS + photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
