Baldwin Park Community Market and First Friday Vendor Addendum

City of Orlando-Storm and Wastewater Acknowledgement and Agreement

 

During a rainfall event, water flows from your event site, through storm drains, directly to lakes without any treatment. Stormwater can pick up pollutants such as oil, trash, and spilled food left behind from vendors and guests of our event. As the event coordinator, our organization can be liable for any stormwater violations. These violations could result in substantial monetary fines and cleanup costs. The cost to clean up pollutants once they are in a stormline or lake can be several thousand dollars.

 

To help us comply with the federal, state, and local stormwater regulations, all vendors much read, acknowledge, and follow the procedures listed below.

 

• All waste receptacles (dumpsters) must be sturdy, leak-tight, and equipped with lids or covers. Keep all outdoor receptacles closed unless adding or removing wastes.

• Do not wash out any receptacles outdoors or pour water into streets, sidewalks or drains.  If you require a wash station or need to dispose of liquid, please bring a container to do so, and take with you once event is over.

• Never place liquids in an outdoor waste receptacle.

• No vendors should be frying or using grease.

• If you are not using any detergents or chemicals and are only cleaning surfaces of ambient dirt or dust, then this wash water can be directed to landscape or contained onsite and allowed to evaporate. However, if there is any food residue or oils on areas that are going to be washed, this method is NOT acceptable.

• Stay alert for any signs of illegal discharges. Only rainwater is allowed to flow into any storm drain inlet or drainage ditch.

• Report any suspicious discharges to your City of Orlando event liaison promptly.

• To report a fuel or chemical spill, call 911. Please remember, outdoor waste receptacles are intended for dry materials only.
