Gathering place for green building professionals
Since I left big engineering to form tiny Aqua Cura I have met scores of design and construction professionals who are deeply committed to green building practices. Almost all of them work in small firms; many of them own these small firms.
In my other life, I could call on the marketing department to support my business development efforts. Now, I am the marketing department, as well as the doing the work department (to say nothing of the human resources and billing departments).
So to succeed, we become more collaborative. Which is a more enjoyable way to work, anyways. I am going to try to help myself and all other green building professionals who are willing to share information as they build teams to pursue opportunities.
Please, if you want to draw a team together, use this weblog. Post your idea as an entry and see who responds.

Re: the chlorinated water issue.
Chlorine oxidizes, chlorine is a biocide.
My advice is to install a solar water sprayer in the mixing zone where the discharge hits the pond and allow the spray to dissipate the chlorine into the atmosphere. Another less desirable idea is to put some hay bales in the stream leading to the pond and hope the chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the hay rather than the vegetation.
