Build a curb-cut rain garden feeding the Scioto Greenway, Franklinton.

Street runoff from the blocks above the Greenway Trail sheets straight into a storm inlet that discharges to the Scioto untreated; a curb-cut rain garden intercepts and infiltrates that runoff before it ever reaches the pipe.

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

Before photos of the curb/street section + drainage plan + Cutting/excavation photos with dust control visible + Finished, planted rain garden photo + a water-test showing the curb-cut inlet draining into the basin

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. Photograph the curb/street section and confirm the drainage plan (inlet location, basin sizing) against the contributing street area.
2. Saw-cut the curb opening per the plan with wet-cut dust control.
3. Excavate and grade the basin, backfill with the specified bioretention soil mix, and set the curb-cut inlet stone apron.
4. Plant the basin with water-tolerant native species, mulch, and photograph the finished, planted rain garden.

What counts as done

• Before photos of the curb/street section + drainage plan
• Cutting/excavation photos with dust control visible
• Finished, planted rain garden photo + a water-test showing the curb-cut inlet draining into the basin

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.
