Stencil Orange Cove's storm drains so only rain goes down.

Orange Cove's street drains run toward the same channels that water the citrus economy, and dumped oil or paint in a curb inlet rides straight out with the next storm. Most dumping is ignorance, not malice. A bilingual stencil on every inlet is the cheapest correction available.

Pay

$152 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 per stencil plus inlet log with GPS/date

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. Locate every curb inlet on the assigned blocks.
2. Sweep and dry each stencil area.
3. Apply the bilingual no-dumping stencil with fast-dry paint.
4. Log each stenciled inlet.
5. Photograph each finished stencil and record the count with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photos of at least eight finished stencils
• Written inlet log
• GPS-tagged photo with date

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.
