    Thank you for providing some real life numbers and experience.

    $8k of unexpected costs can be a lot for some people, and feel like a steep price for some holes to be dug. Doing these surveys does require skilled labor and a host of professionals to analyze and produce reports.

    It sounds like much of the agony comes from administrative hold ups on the government’s side, which is where my attention would be focused if I was an impacted citizen. Permitting shouldn’t take years to complete with proper reports.
