Build a rain garden at Schreiner Park, site 2, Schreiner Park, Junction, TX 76849 (public city park)

Stormwater from the park's parking area currently sheets straight toward the South Llano River instead of soaking into the thin karst soil, wasting a Hill Country downpour that a native planting could otherwise slow and filter. 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: city-parks-department siting confirm + before/after photos + basin-depth measurement + native-planting 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 basin location with the city parks department, away from any playground surfacing, sports turf, or buried utility, and photograph the bare site before digging. 2. 2. Hand-dig a shallow basin to the design depth at a low point that already collects park runoff. 3. 3. Backfill with amended soil and plant native, water-tolerant Edwards Plateau species at the design spacing. 4. 4. Mulch the basin and photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage, recording species/count and basin depth. Done when: city-parks-department siting confirm + before/after photos + basin-depth measurement + native-planting 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.
