Document the storm-surge wrack line at Indian Point Park, site 3, Indian Point Park, Pavilion and Pier, 100 Hwy 181, Portland, TX 78374 (2026-07-27)

This public bay-point park has no photo record of how far the last storm surge or high tide reached, information the county needs to prioritize dune-fence and walkover-path repair before the next hurricane season. Standard: FEMA floodplain and coastal storm-surge siting screen, applied here to San Patricio County's Coastal Bend hurricane-season storm-surge and heavy-rain drainage conditions around Portland and Ingleside. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience. Proof: document-only stand-off photo log + wrack-line distance measurement + GPS + ranked follow-on note Method (FEMA floodplain and coastal storm-surge siting screen, applied here to San Patricio County's Coastal Bend hurricane-season storm-surge and heavy-rain drainage conditions around Portland and Ingleside. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience.): 1. 1. From an accessible park path or the pier, photograph the storm-surge wrack line (the highest debris line left by the last tide or storm) along the shoreline without entering the water. 2. 2. Measure the wrack line's distance from a fixed park reference point (a bench, sign, or pavilion post) using a tape measure or paced distance, and photograph the measurement. 3. 3. Note any eroded dune, damaged fence, or washed-out walkover path segment observed from the accessible path. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming the segment for the dune-fence and walkover-path repair crew. Done when: document-only stand-off photo log + wrack-line distance measurement + GPS + ranked follow-on note

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.
