Mark the storm drains of eastern Redwood City so neighbors know they drain to the creek and bay.

The flat blocks east of El Camino drain through Redwood Creek's channel to the bay marshes, untreated. Car-work runoff and dumped paint at these inlets reaches salt marsh within hours. Fresh curb markers on the unmarked inlets are proven, cheap source control for the neighborhood's own creek.

Pay

$160 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 of each marked inlet plus location list

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. Map ten unmarked inlets on the assigned blocks.
2. Sweep and dry each curb face.
3. Apply the 'Drains to Bay' marker beside each inlet.
4. Log cross-streets for each marker.
5. Photograph every finished marker with its inlet.

What counts as done

• GPS-tagged photos of ten markers
• Photo of the cross-street log with date
• One context wide shot

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.
