re: Anyone deal with wetlands on their property?

We are looking to buy a house that has some designated wetlands area as part of the property. Is there any way I can turn that property into usable land? The house is awesome and there is a pond, but the wetlands issue is a big concern for me.

Mitigation is your issue. If you want to do anything with the land designated as a wetland (excavate, back-fill, grind stumps, add rocks, build anything, run utility lines, ect) you will need a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers as well as pay for mitigation or plant trees on other parts of your property.
