Repair and clear a silt fence line after every rain, Longview ISD Early Childhood Learning Center, Longview, TX (public school district bond project).

A silt fence that is undermined, overtopped, torn or never emptied is a decoration, not a control; it fails not at installation but at maintenance, and it fails exactly when a storm is testing it. Walking the whole line after every rain and fixing what the rain found is what keeps a properly buried fence actually working.

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

post-rain walk confirmation + before/after repair photos + sediment-depth confirmation + log entry

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.

Steps

1. 1. Walk the full fence line after every rain event, checking each section against the last known-good photo.
2. 2. Look for a section undermined by water cutting under the buried edge, a section overtopped or torn, and any place where trapped sediment has built up to more than half the fence's height.
3. 3. Re-cut a fresh slot only a few inches deep and re-bury any undermined section's fabric edge, backfilling and tamping it firm again.
4. 4. Clear built up sediment from behind the fence before it reaches half the fence's height, and replace any torn fabric section.
5. 5. Log the date, the rain event, and the condition found at each section, and photograph any section repaired, before and after.

What counts as done

• Confirmation that the walk happened after a specific, named rain event
• Before and after photos of any section found undermined, overtopped, torn, or repaired
• Confirmation that trapped sediment was cleared before it reached half the fence's height anywhere along the line
• Log entry recorded with date, rain event, and condition found at each section

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
