The Chalet

Cleveland Metroparks recently added over 9,000 square feet of bioswales to the parking lot at the Chalet.  These bioswales capture the runoff from the parking lot, filter the pollutants before the water reaches the nearby East Branch Rocky River, and reduce the volume of stormwater that reaches the river by over 1.2 million gallons each year.  The bioswales are planted with native plants and shrubs and will be maintained and monitored over time.
 
This project was financed in part through a grant by the State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, under the provisions of Section 319(h) of the Clean Water Act.
