Check and clear a storm inlet barrier after every rain, the Johnson Street corridor, City of Marshall 2026 Street Improvement Program, Marshall, TX (public street reconstruction project).

A barrier that clogs with sediment and is never cleared either backs water up onto the street or blows out and dumps its whole trapped load into the inlet in one go; it only keeps working if someone comes back for it after the rain, the same way the fence line does.

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 photos + grate-clear 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 to every installed inlet barrier after each rain event.
2. 2. Check for sediment buildup, torn fabric, or a barrier that has shifted out of place.
3. 3. Clear built up sediment from the outside of the barrier, never reaching into or through the grate itself.
4. 4. Reset a shifted barrier or replace a torn one so the inlet stays fully ringed.
5. 5. Log the date and condition found, and photograph the barrier before and after clearing.

What counts as done

• Confirmation that the walk happened after a specific, named rain event
• Before and after photos of the barrier at each inlet checked
• Confirmation that the grate opening remained clear and passable throughout
• Log entry recorded with date and condition found

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.
