Install a barrier around a storm drain inlet before the next rain, the Johnson Street corridor, City of Marshall 2026 Street Improvement Program, Marshall, TX (public street reconstruction project).

An open storm drain inlet downhill of bare, disturbed soil is a direct pipe from the site straight to the creek; every bit of sediment that reaches that grate is sediment the creek receives. A barrier installed around the inlet before the rain, not swept off the street after, is what actually keeps it out. This is inlet protection, not drain cleaning: a barrier the crew installs ahead of the storm, never debris cleared out afterward.

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

inlet confirmation + installed-barrier photo + grate-clear confirmation + GPS

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. Confirm with the general contractor's site supervisor which inlets receive drainage from the site's disturbed area.
2. 2. Ring the confirmed inlet with filled gravel bags or a fabric and filter sock barrier, leaving the grate opening itself uncovered so water can still pass through and the street does not pond.
3. 3. Confirm the barrier sits flush against the curb and pavement with no gap for sediment to slip underneath.
4. 4. Photograph the finished, installed barrier from a position that shows the whole inlet.
5. 5. Record the confirmed location of the inlet.

What counts as done

• Confirmation of which inlets were confirmed as draining the site's disturbed area
• Photo of the installed barrier showing the whole inlet
• Confirmation that the grate opening itself remains clear so water can still pass through
• GPS location recorded for the protected inlet

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.
