Build a bioswale.

Rainwater sheets off Central Avenue straight to the storm system and into Chattanooga Creek with nothing to slow it down or filter it first. A planted bioswale in the median would hold and clean that first flush before it reaches the creek.

Pay

$700 proposed

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

Photo set of the finished bioswale plus a planting list with GPS tag

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. Mark the bioswale footprint in the median and confirm it clears utility lines
2. Hand-dig a shallow basin graded to hold and slow runoff
3. Line the basin with amended soil suited to periodic standing water
4. Plant native wet-tolerant grasses and shrubs through the basin
5. Mulch the bed and photograph the finished bioswale with GPS tag

What counts as done

• Before and after photo of the median
• Planting list with species and counts
• GPS tag on the site

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.
