Granted ours has to be on site. So it really only affects what we can squeeze on site. We try to avoid at all costs.

What kind of wetlands?

Cypress tupelo swamp? Saltwater marsh?

Cost can range from $40k-$60k+ per acre depending on type.

If you are only looking at building a single house then the footprint may not be too bad or expensive.

You should probably consult an engineer that specializes in this. Paying him a little bit to get a good realistic cost estimate would be a wise step.

Also, with the new "wetlands determination rules" if you live in the southern half of LA, your property could be classified as a wetland. The more recent regulations on how they count the identifiers were loosened up. I don't like it or agree with it at all.
