Orange County EPD staff and our environmental consultant conducted a joint field verification visit. This collaborative inspection allows both parties to walk the wetland line together and reach consensus on the official delineation — preventing future disputes during permitting.
Pro tip: Be present for this visit if at all possible. Hearing both parties discuss the boundaries in the field gives you invaluable context for the rest of the project.
