Inlet Protection for Ultra Music Festival 2022
Emilio Lopez
As a part of their sustainability efforts, Ultra Music Festival in Miami sought to implement temporary inlet protection for storm drains in the festival grounds in Bayfront Park. For the festival in March 2022, SOP Technologies is providing geotextile fabrics to place under storm drain grates and filter “socks” to prevent litter from entering storm drains during the festival. SOP Technologies works with Public Works departments such as the City of Miami, Monroe County, and City of Aventura.
While the measures taken will prevent litter from entering the drainage system and discharging to Biscayne Bay, Ultra encourages all festival-goers to reduce waste by eliminating their use of single-use products, and to dispose of trash in appropriate trash receptacles.
