If he would have to do a complete delineation it would be $900. He ended up charging me for 41/2 hours of work and an hour of drive time. Totaling$324.50. I asked what happened to the $200 fee because he hadn't done the computer work yet. He said if I wasn't going ahead with the project then he wanted to get paid for the time he came out. I said that was misleading since we stood around and talked a good portion of that time and I didn't know he was charging me. I felt taken advantage of. His email showed an over the top reaction.

Otherwise, I give up. I've done everything in good faith to comply to get a pool built this year and I've been defeated and denied.

She explained tom me that you want to leave the wetland classified as a Preserve wetland and maintain a 50' buffer. If the existing vegetation meets our requirement for buffer vegetation (ie. native grasses) you can meet this requirement by discontinuing the mowing of this area. Please note however, if the vegetation doesn't meet our requirements a planting or improvement plan (and escrow) will be required. It is my understanding from our field inspector's report much of this area is primarily turf grass and would have to be converted to native grasses etc to be considered acceptable. The existing rock wall is allowed to remain as located. I will be forwarding you a ��sketch" reflecting the wetland edge and area to be buffered. The sketch is based on the field inspection conducted last week. You will be able to use this as a reference for your buffer improvement plan. Note, the wetland edge and the 50-foot buffer must be shown on the final as-built survey by the surveyor along with all of the other requirements. �
