Kat,
What you've described as a pond sounds like it may meet the federal definition of a wetland, which includes any area saturated to the ground surface for at least thirty consecutive days. Now, the regulations for wetland impacts by single family homes (not associated with a residential development) are typically liberal, but the recommendation that the "pond" be filled sounds like the inspector needs some training.
