Clear the drainage lines along Cameron Park streets before the next big rain.

Cameron Park, one of the largest colonias in Texas, sits on flat delta ground where a hard rain has nowhere to go. Streets and yards pond for days when roadside drainage is blocked with trash, grass, and silt. Ponded water breeds mosquitoes and soaks into homes built at grade. Keeping the drainage path open along each block is basic flood defense residents can do themselves.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos of each cleared drainage line

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. Walk the assigned block after checking the forecast and identify every blocked curb line, culvert mouth, and roadside drainage path.
2. Rake and shovel out leaves, trash, and sediment from the surface of each drainage path, working from the top, never reaching into culverts.
3. Bag debris and set it out for legal collection.
4. Flag any collapsed culvert or standing sewage smell for a report to the county drainage district, do not touch those.
5. Photograph each cleared drainage line with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos from matching angles with GPS and date
• Photo of bagged debris
• Note of any flagged culvert problems

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.
