Document flood and gully erosion readiness at a resident's own home, home 4, resident homes in Del Rio, TX 78840 (own-home) (2026-07-29)

This home's yard drainage and gully erosion have never been checked against heavy rain readiness, and this Rio Grande border town sees real flash flood risk every storm season. Standard: FEMA floodplain siting screen plus USDA NRCS gully stabilization practice, applied here to Rio Grande and San Felipe Creek flash flood and heavy rain drainage conditions around Del Rio, Val Verde County, Texas. Proof: homeowner or resident permission record plus document only photo inventory plus drainage status record plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (FEMA floodplain siting screen plus USDA NRCS gully stabilization practice, applied here to Rio Grande and San Felipe Creek flash flood and heavy rain drainage conditions around Del Rio, Val Verde County, Texas.): 1. 1. Walk the home's exterior with the resident and photograph the downspout routing, yard low points, and any existing erosion gully as found. 2. 2. Note whether storm runoff pools near the foundation or cuts a visible gully across the yard. 3. 3. Ask the resident which part of the yard floods worst during a heavy Rio Grande valley downpour and record their answer. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the gully or low point for the erosion control install job. Done when: homeowner or resident permission record plus document only photo inventory plus drainage status record plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

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.
