Project Team and Partners

Brenda O'Brien, GreenCO Project Manager, will be responsible for spearheading the
internal project coordination and general project administration for GreenCO.

Wright Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) will serve as the technical consultant for the
project. Jane Clary, Senior Water Resources Scientist with WWE, will be responsible for
completion of project tasks (excluding Spanish translation, materials reproduction and
distribution) with suppOli from WWE staff. Jane Clary was the WWE project manager
responsible for the initial release of the GreenCO BMP Manual in 2002, second release in
2004, and development of the GreenCO BMP Training Program in 2004. During the
same time, she also managed a joint water conservation BMP project between the
Homebuilders Association of Metro Denver and GreenCO under a Governor's Office of
Energy Management and Conservation grant. The expertise of other WWE engineers
and scientists will also be available to GreenCO, as listed in Table lc.

Translation of project materials to Spanish will be completed by Total Translations and
Transcultural Services, who completed the 2004 Spanish translation. They have agreed to
provide a 25 percent in-kind match (discount) to their fees in support of the project.

Team BTS will complete updates to the GreenCO web site related to the manual update,
including limited revisions to the BMP search engine.

The project will rely on input from industry members in the fonn of advisory committee
meetings, interviews and written feedback from previous training classes. This approach
was a key component of previous phases of this project and was a successful project
model. The GreenCO Board of Directors, which includes representation across
GreenCO's member industries, will provide support, as needed. Specific partnerships
that GreenCO will pursue on this project to ensure that "the wheel is not reinvented" and
that the most up-to-date infonnation is obtained include:

Certified Landscape Technician [CL T] program)

o Industry professionals
o Utility personnel

o 2004 committee members (who may still be available)
