In my experience, surveyors are great people to talk to. You can most often glean some useful info from them and they, having encountered nearly everything, are almost always enthusiastic to learn about the things of Nature they are so fortunate to commonly see (as work that is).

They were out recording watershed changes on the "industrial corridor" map.

Well, maybe you mean surveyor in a different meaning now that I think about it. The traditional surveyor carries rods and tripods and records topographic data. But perhaps that is what they were shooting in the points for and they just explained the why, or they were delineating wetlands and might have been mistakenly called surveyors as described afore?

Who's to say how it will impact us, but for now it seems someone is on guard! Hopefully the wetlands will keep the distance between industry and us!

Amen!
Fortunately (at least in my experience) the Savannah ACoE does a pretty good job of enforcing impact reduction of wetlands and streams for private companies (industry). Cherokee County is regulated by Justin Hammonds I believe. He seems like a reasonable person and we've had good experiences working with him.
Watersheds are regulated by several agencies including EPA, GA DNR, and GA EPD. I'm not very familiar with watershed management in GA as I don't work with those agencies and watershed management is not a priority in GA like it is in other, more progressive states such as WA, CA, VT, etc...
