When Cawrse & Associates Inc., a landscape architectural firm located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, built its new office building in 2008, the company incorporated four "best management practices" into the site plan. These BMPs were implemented for storm water control and runoff quality and reduction, and were partially funded by a grant from the Chagrin River Watershed Partners (CRWP), a coalition of cities, villages, townships, counties and park districts united by their common concerns about flooding, erosion and water quality problems. The BMPs incorporated by Cawrse included a biore-tention storm water basin, a bioswale, pervious pavement and a rain garden.
