looking at over all landscape, and elevations of properties, both my own and neighbors.
--making sure any high spots, low spots are accounted for and were run off water goes, and drain tile are accounted for. to show these spots are not reason for erosion.
--take pictures of it all.
what final outcome do i want.
finding a lawyer, and costs.
finding expert witness costs
re-looking at each issue along the way making sure everything is covered, or have yet to get covered. it is not all pure black and white, lots of gray, with pro's to con's to each solution.
