Had some problems getting the [npc=35485] to interact with the Markers, however right-clicking the [spell=67570] debuff and resummoning them with your character standing right next to a marker did the trick.
It didn't become available to me until I completed "Private Chat". Then, both this quest and "A Thousand Stories in the Sand" finally popped up. I was so glad because it had been driving me crazy that I couldn't get them. :) Hope it works for you, too.

StorylineAzshara, step 22 of 88
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
All these cruddy ancient ruins have to be bulldozed if we're ever to see Azshara's full potential. Look on my map here - you see Lake Mennar, to the East? I'll tell you what I see: a future rocket fuel depot! But we need an accurate lay of the land before we can clearcut, bulldoze, landfill, and pave over that lake. All of my surveyors have been spooked off by the oogly-boogleys haunting that area. Escort one of my Jr. grade surveyors to the area and take readings from the equipment that's been set up.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mystery of the Sarcen Stone
Before she died, Kalytha was charged with burying something at the bottom of the lake, a powerful artifact that the archmages of Mennar spent their last moments creating. No doubt Malynea Skyreaver will want to see the artifact, presuming it still exists.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gunk in the Trunk
Those ancient ruins have survived ten thousand years of wind and weather, so I brought out my biggest and bestest bulldozer to flatten 'em. I call her "Margene." But my dozer's been letting me down lately, <name>.
