Carr, Jr. — Owner 47 Indian Bluff Drive Arapahoe, North Carolina, 28510 Mr. Brad Connell Division of Coastal Management 400 Commerce Avenue Morehead City, North Carolina, 28557 Re: Land Improvements to #23 Indian Bluff Drive—Pamlico County, NC John Herlong—Property owner -23 Indian Bluff Drive Dear Mr. Connell, This is to advise you that on Sunday April 13, 2008 1 observed what I considered to be a violation to an agreement that I signed with our neighbor, Dr. John Herlong at 23 Indian Bluff Drive, Arapahoe, North Carolina and this agreement was approved by CAMA. Specifically, the contractor for John Herlong, Decks and Docks Construction Co. has begun building the outer most seawall some fifteen feet in front of (toward the river) where he indicated this wall would originally be built on the original drawings. The contractor has also extended the rock wall well out into the river and some ten feet in front of my outer most sea wall. This again is contrary to the original drawings that were approved by all parties including CAMA. The original drawing shows the rocks well behind my sea wall! This is to request that this construction be stopped immediately, and that the owner be brought into compliance with what was originally approved by all parties. I do not want any structure to be built on the adjacent property out beyond the front of my sea wall! I am enclosing copies of documents that were approved by all parties AND I am enclosing a picture (I have 30 some pictures taken from various positions) of what the site looked like before the contractor began work. This picture illustrates where the rocks were positioned before construction began and you will notice there is not a sea wall. We contend that this is a violation of the CAMA act where they have moved the rocks out into the river. By extending the rocks beyond my adjacent sea wall the contractor has essentially formed a jetty that over time could weaken my wall by the mere fact of what jetty's do. They build up sand on one side and take away sand on the other. By taking sand away from in front of my sea wall it will weaken the strength of my boards in the wall. The contractor has drawn a second drawing and we object to this plan. Page 2 Mr. Brad Connell April 17, 2008 APR 2018 Moreheaci QtV DGIv, I would like to request a meeting with a representative from your office at the property site to discuss this project in full. Please call me when this can be arranged. Until we have this meeting I continue my objection to this work because the original drawing is not being complied with. With best regards.

Connell@ ncmail.net> Brad - Hi! I met with Dr. Herlong and his contratctor Jason Hill of Decks and Docks this past Sunday evening. Unfortunately I was not able to persuade them to reduce the height of their front wall or to comply with the drawing that we ALL approved back in January. They are redrawing their plan according to what has already been constructed on site to present to you for approval. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS NEW DRAWING FOR APPROVAL OR INFORMATION YET! Again, I am NOT in favor of this work as it being drawn or performed. I am not sure that you have anything to say about the ENGINEERING of the wall system, but I think it is flawed and the first major hurricane is going to scatter these VINYL WALL pieces all over Pamlico County! As far as the enginering is concerned here are my thoughts as stated in a previous e-mail to Dr. Herlong: Dr. Herlong, your front wall does not need to be six feet above my lower wall to accomplish what you want to do. This is simply overkill and most reasonable people with a little common sense would understand this. This advice is free. The higher you build your wall the better chance that nature will destroy it. You should have your vinyl members hammered into virgin soil (like Rusher's) not several feet deep in loose fill as you do now. Your stone wall is what will be holding everything --your entire system into place. If something happens to your stones (hurricane water surge) you will lose everything on your bank --every plant, every structure, EVERYTHING! It will be like dominos!! WHY? Because you have nothing embedded in virgin soil!!!!! Nothing anchored!!!! Everything, all three or four walls that you.build is in fill. You will have lost your entire investment because. some rocks got shifted in a hurricane. (I've seen this happen before!) YOU are on t g� the open Neuse River --NOT somewhere up the Trent River. If I should lose my first 5p wall I still have my second wall. Why? Because my pilings and boards were driven into virgin soil on my second wall like my first wall. *I mentioned to you that a 5 visitor could mistep and fall off your wall onto the rocks eight feet below. This�`�)�r`1 would be unfortunate and could have been avoided! `"� *So Brad, you and LAMA are again notified that I oppose this construction as/ Ali r is presently being accomplished. The vinyl wall sections are NOT being hammered into virgin soil, but are being placed in sand fill with less than four feet penetration. q The rocks in front of the wall is all that will hold the vinyl sections in place.U" JIS'),.S These rocks can and WILL be moved by a storm's water surge and history has shown i L,.,t w•t this to be a fact. —710, 1.06 9A, ` And finally Brad I feel that CAMA overstepped its a>�horit_y_by__al�owing Dr. Herlong to extend his wall and therefore his --0S out�in front omy-wall. Thus creating a "jetty" that over time WILL weaken my wall sy'ste`m-�7-additionally feel that CAMA has allowed Dr. Herlong to RECLAIM property that because of a "specific" time period has elasped since the previous wall was removed by a storm is now no longer available to him to reclaim. * I agree that CAMA should look at each case on its own merits, *HOWEVER when you see that there is an adjacent wall already in place you should NOT allow the property owner to go out beyond this wall KNOWING the effects that this will have on the existing wall.* ALSO it should be considered that by LAMA allowing the Herlong wall to do out so far into the River CAMA has approved an impediment that will prevent people from being able to walk the shore line. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN CONSIDERED WHEN YOU MADE YOUR DECISION. You should know that I have contacted both an engineer and counsel to continue my opposition to this work.

I apologize for the brevity of this response, but it is all that time allows just now. Dr. Herlong and Decks and Docks were both issued Notices of Violation for the development that was not done in accordance with the permit. The portion of the riprap across Mr. Carr's riparian corridor was removed, and the remainder of the development was allowed to stay, as it was consistent with the rules and guidelines, but not the permit. As you are aware, the DCM does not require "punitive" restoration. If development is not permitted, we cite the property owner and contractor, assess them, but let them keep the development. With the exception of the portion of the rock across Mr. Carr's property, that was the case here. Both NOV's were sent out this morning, and the work can continue as authorized by way of the Notice. I hope this explains the situation, however briefly. Say hey to MerrieJo and Millie Kate for me. We miss MJ terribly, but upon seeing her, I know that she made the right decision. Take care.

("JUDGE") CARR REGARDING PERMIT ISSUED TO DR JOHN HERLONG, 23 INDIAN BLUFFS DRIVE, ARAPAHOE, NORTH CAROLINA I. Summary. Robert W. Carr ("Petitioner") is an adjacent riparian property owner to Dr. John Herlong ("Permittee") on the Neuse River in Arapahoe, North Carolina. Permittee submitted a Coastal Area Management Act ("CAMA") permit proposal to move existing riprap and construct a bulkhead on his riparian shoreline ("the Permit")(Exhibit "A"). Petitioner approved the proposed development which at its outermost point was 20 feet landward of Petitioner's existing bulkhead. The Permit was approved, and Permittee began work. As currently constructed, the riprap work extends approximately 15 feet waterward of both Petitioner's existing bulkhead and the Permittee's new bulkhead (a 35 foot difference from the permit proposal), directly adversely affecting Petitioner's property and in violation of CAMA rules as set forth bel II. This Third Party Petition is Timely. CAMA provides that third party hearing reques must be received by e Commission "within 20 days after the disputed permit decision i ade." N.C.G.S. 113A -121.1(b). In this case, the "disputed permit decision" was made o 21 ay 2008, the date that the Division of Coastal Management ("DCM") determined that that the bulkhead and riprap could remain as being constructed, despite the fact that those structures were in violation of the permit. Specifically; DCM found in its 21 May 2008 Notice of Violation ("NOV") to Dr. Herlong that he had reconfigured his bulkhead waterward of the authorized location, and had reconfigured the riparap waterward of the bulkhead location. (Exhibit `B", page 2, numbers 1-2). DCM determined that despite being a violation of the permit (and inconsistent with the drawings submitted to this Petitioner), the waterward location of the bulkhead and riprap could remain because it was still consistent with the relevant rules. DCM also assessed a penalty for the unauthorized development (Exhibit "C"). It is the decision memorialized in the 21 May 2008 NOV that gives rise to Petitioner's appeal rights under N.C.G.S. 113A -121.1(b). It is not appropriate in this case to calculate the appeal period from the original date that the General Permit was issued (7 February 2008) because the notice was clearly deficient. That is, the notice provided to this Petitioner and approved by DCM depicted a significantly different structure than what the Permittee ultimately built. Petitioner can only be required to challenge a permit of which he has adequate notice. The facts show and DCM has acknowledged that the Permittee did not build what was authorized by the original permit. This Petitioner would have never issued a statement of "no objection" and certainly would have appealed any permit for the development the Permittee has now undertaken. DCM's decision that the unauthorized development is nonetheless permittable constitutes a second and new "agency decision" subject to administrative review under the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA"). Thus, this appeal is timely filed. III. A contested case hearing is appropriate under N.C.G.S. § 113A -121.1(b). A. The decision is contrary to statute or rule. DCM's decision to allow the riprap and bulkhead to remain as presently being constructed is contrary to the general and specific conditions required for a general permit to place riprap and construct a bulkhead as set forth in 15A N.C.A.C. 07H .1100 et seq.: 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(b)(with emphasis added) requires as follows: (b) Bulkhead and Riprap material shall be positioned as follows: (2) Riprap shall be positioned so as not to exceed a maximum of 5 feet waterward of the mean high water mark or normal water level contour ay any point along its alignment. Where there is an existing bulkhead structure, riprap shall be allowed to extend a maximum of 10 feet offshore. This location standard shall take into consideration the height of the area to be protected (i.e. bulkhead types, water depth) and the alignment shall allow for a slope no flatter than 2 feet horizontal per 1 foot vertical and no steep than 1 1/2 feet horizontal per 1 foot vertical. "Petitioner contends the riprap extends beyond 10 feet offshore of Permittee's bulkhead now under construction. 15A N. C.A.C. 07H.1105(f) requires as follows: (f) The bulkhead shall be constructed, or the riprap shall be placed prior to any backfilling activities. 'Petitioner contends that the Permittee placed sandy backfill on the shoreline prior to construction of the bulkhead and placement of riprap. 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(g) requires as follows: (g) The bulkhead shall be constructed, or the riprap shall be structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the structure. "Petitioner contends the bulkhead is not structurally tight, and seepage will occur through the structure. 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1 105(k) requires as follows: (k) Bulkheads or riprap shall not extend beyond established alignments nor restrict the original width of the canal or basin. N **Petitioner contends the riprap was authorized to extend approximately 15 feet beyond the established alignment on the relevant shoreline. Below, Petitioner will further address each of the preceding rules and the alleged violations in the order they are set forth in 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105. (Exhibit "D"). 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(b)(2): Petitioner respectfully disagrees with DCM's permit decision allowing the riprap to remain as placed because the riprap extends beyond 10 feet offshore in violation of .1105(b)(2). When DCM first learned that the Permittee had placed riprap and begun construction on the bulkhead in violation of the Permit, DCM stopped work at the project site. DCM at some point determined the riprap extended beyond the 10 foot requirement and told Petitioner it would have to be removed. By its NOV, DCM reversed this decision and found that the riprap did not exceed the 10 foot rule and could remain. Petitioner has personally taken measurements of the riprap currently in place at the development site. Petitioner's most recent measurements were taken on 9 May 2008 and show the rock riprap placed in front of the bulkhead under construction extending approximately 15 feet waterward from the bulkhead. Petitioner is prepared to put on evidence to support this contention. 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(f) & 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(g): These rules require the riprap and bulkhead be constructed prior to placing backfill, and that the structure be sufficiently sound to prevent the seepage of the backfill. Petitioner respectfully submits these rules have been violated. Permittee placed a large number of cubic feet of back fill on the project site prior to the completion of the bulkhead and riprap in violation of 15A N.C.A.C. 0711-1 105(f). (Exhibit "E") (these pictures depict the sandy backfill placed prior to the construction of the bulkhead). Based on the height of the vinyl, it is Rirther evident that Permittee is actually driving the pilings and the vinyl bulkhead into this sandy fill. The panels appear to be driven into the fill to a depth of no more than 6 feet. It is unlikely, therefore, that the panels will reach the virgin soil/clay at a depth sufficient to support a long term, safe placement of the bulkhead as required by 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(g). (Exhibit "F") (opinion letter from Sterling Brockwell, Professional Engineer and his attached CV). 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105(k): Petitioner has observed the established alignment of the shoreline along the Neuse at his property for 13 years. As historical photos show, the riprap placement at the project site currently extends far waterward of the established alignments of the shoreline for the surrounding properties. (Exhibits "Gl-G.V )(pictures showing the historical established alignment along this shoreline prior to the Permittee's recent placement of riprap 15' waterward of Petitioner's seawall). In a contested case hearing, Petitioner will present evidence that at least two prior owners of Permittee's property have constructed bulkheads and/or placed riprap that have aligned with both Petitioner's riparian property line as well as all of the neighboring riparian property lines 3 relevant to Indian Bluffs. Mr. Gordon Vermillion built a wooden bulkhead inline with Petitioner's bulkhead. After a hurricane removed Mr. Vermillion's bulkhead, rock riprap was placed in its stead which naturally aligned with Petitioner's and the other adjacent property shoreline. The Brady's, who owned the property after the Vermillions, applied for a CAMA permit for a wooden bulkhead which was aligned with Petitioner's bulkhead. The effect of the riprap as allowed by DCM is to obstruct and usurp public trust waters, extending well beyond the natural alignment of the neighboring shorelines. Moreover, it is sure to cause increased and artificial rates of erosion to the adjacent property owners' shoreline. B. Petitioner is Directly Affected by this Decision. As an adjacent riparian property owner, Petitioner is directly affected by the permit decision as required by N.C.G.S. 113A -121.1(b)(2). Petitioner is directly affected in his person and property by the unlawful existence and extent of riprap placed waterward of Petitioner's bulkhead. The location of these structures will cause wave deflection that will affect Petitioner's own retaining wall and substantial property interests. The riprap extending 15' in front of Petitioner's retaining wall and the established alignment of the shoreline will cause an artificial increase in the erosion to Petitioner's property, severely weaken his retaining wall and shorten the lifespan of that wall and its protection of his property. Petitioner's property rights stand to be improperly infringed upon if Permittee's bulkhead and riprap remain in violation of the permit that was issued, and so substantially in violation the rules governing the specific conditions of the placement of riprap and construction of bulkhead. The unsound construction of the bulkhead possesses an unnecessary risk to the welfare and safety of the public; and, there remains a heightened risk to Petitioner's property by its proximity to this unsound structure as it is currently being constructed. C. Facts and legal arguments demonstrate that the request for a hearing is not frivolous. As further set forth below in the "Background and More Particular Facts" section, based on the allegations that the permitting decision is contrary to 15A N.C.A.C. 07H.1105, and that Petitioners are directly affected by DCM's decision to allow the construction of the bulkhead and placement of the riprap outside the scope of the original permit (authorized through the NOV), and in violation of the governing rules and regulations, Petitioner has established that his hearing request is not frivolous under N.C.G.S. 113A -121.1(b)(3), and is worthy of administrative review. W. Background and More Particular Facts In support of the above set forth Third Party Hearing Request, and to more fully assist the Chairman of the CRC in his determination as to the merits of a contested case, Petitioner alleges the following facts based on the information known to him: 4 Petitioner is owner of a lot and home located at 47 Indian Bluff Drive, Arapahoe, North Carolina. Petitioner's riparian property is adjacent to the waters of the Neuse River in Pamlico County. Petitioner purchased the lot and home in September of 1995. The adjacent riparian property to the east at 23 Indian Bluff Drive is owned by Dr. John Herlong ("Permittee") (the "Project Site"). On 17 December 2008, marine contractor Decks'n Docks Construction, L.L.C. ("Decks'n Docks"), on behalf of Permittee, sent a notification letter to Petitioner concerning proposed bulkhead and riprap construction that was submitted to DCM for CAMA permit review. Exhibit "H". The letter included an adjacent property notice/ and waiver form providing the Petitioner an opportunity to object to the proposed Permit. It also indicated the adjacent property owner statement providing a written description of the proposed shoreline construction. Exhibits "I" & "J". The written description states that a wood retaining wall and two vinyl bulkheads would be installed. A work drawing was also included with the notice providing a depiction of the marine construction. Exhibit "K". As shown on the drawing, all of the proposed development was to be located well landward of the alignment of Petitioner's existing wooden bulkhead, including all riprap. The second drawing of the proposed construction depicts the construction approximately 3 feet to 6 feet 5/8 inches in front of Petitioner's preexisting outermost wooden bulkhead. Exhibit "L". As shown on Exhibit "I", Petitioner did not object to the proposed development. DCM issued CAMA General Permit No. 52144C on 7 February 2008 (the "Permit"). Exhibit "A". Consistent with the work drawings, the Permit also showed all of the proposed development to be located landward of Petitioner's existing bulkhead. Construction did not begin on the proposed bulkhead and riprap until some time in late March of 2008. On or about 17 April 2008, Petitioner first noticed that the construction of the bulkhead and the placement of the riprap was different from the drawings submitted to Petitioner on the Adjacent Property Owner Notice and approved by DCM in the permit. Permittee began constructing his bulkhead in line with Petitioner's bulkhead (different than proposed), and further placed riprap approximately 15 feet waterward of this new bulkhead (currently still under construction). The current location of the riprap is, according to Petitioner's calculations, approximately 35 feet waterward of its original placement as depicted in the notice submitted to Petitioner. During construction, Petitioner observed the use of sand backfill being placed prior to construction of the bulkhead, and that the bulkhead itself would be placed in the backfill and never reach virgin, clay soil. Petitioner put DCM on notice of these issues. Petitioner also notified the Pamlico County building inspector about the issues pertaining to unsound construction of the bulkhead. Petitioner was originally told by DCM that the bulkhead and riprap were not in violation of CAMA regulations. This decision was soon after reversed, where DCM found the following violations: (1) that the riprap extended waterward beyond 10 feet of the bulkhead under construction; and, (2) that the riprap was placed across Petitioner's eastern property line. [Note that this second issue regarding placement of the riprap laterally across Petitioner's eastern property line (also noted in the NOV, page 2, paragraph 3) is not a concern raised by this hearing request.] A "stop work order" was then issued by DCM. Petitioner was notified by DCM of the 5 following: that for Decks'n Docks to resume construction at Dr. Herlong's property, they will have to either bring the construction into compliance with the drawing Petitioner signed off on, or submit a modified permit. Exhibit "M" (email correspondence between Petitioner and DCM). On or about 23 April 2008, Petitioner received a modified drawing from Decks `n Docks showing the proposed bulkhead wall 20 feet waterward from that depicted in the original Permit, with riprap approximately 35 feet waterward from that depicted in the original Permit. Exhibit "N". This modified drawing depicted placement of riprap 12' waterward of the proposed bulkhead. DCM did not deem this drawing to be a modified permit application. Exhibit "O". On 8 May 2008, a "stop work order" was still in place on the Project Site. On this date, by telephone conference between DCM, Petitioner, and the undersigned, Petitioner was informed that Decks'n Docks would be submitting a modified permit and that Petitioner would have the opportunity to raise objections to any modification and appeal if necessary. During this phone conference, DCM indicated that the riprap placement was in violation where it extended beyond 10' waterward beyond the proposed bulkhead, and that a DCM violation would be issued. No modified permit has been submitted for review by Petitioner. On 15 May 2008, Decks'n Docks met with representatives of DCM at the Project Site. Upon information and belief, as a result of this meeting, DCM determined that Decks'n Docks would be required to remove any riprap located across Petitioner's property line only, but that otherwise the project as being constructed could go forward. On 20 May 2008, DCM confirmed by email that no modified permit was submitted by Decks'n Docks/Permittee, nor was one approved, and that Decks N' Docks/Permittee would be issued a violation for placing the riprap across Petitioner's property line. On that same day, by email with the undersigned, DCM also confirmed for the first time that the riprap could remain in place. Petitioner maintains that this decision is in error since the riprap extends approximately 15 feet offshore. On 30 May 2008, Petitioner first received a copy of the NOV DCM sent to Decks'n Docks/Permittee on 21 May 2008 officially setting forth violations for the riprap on Petitioner's property line and the failure to comply with their CAMA permit. The NOV acknowledged that Petitioner had developed under the Permit well outside the specified terms and conditions of the Permit. The NOV provided a restoration plan to be signed by Permittee requiring that riprap be removed from Petitioner's riparian line, and acknowledged that the property was completely restored on 15 May 2008 when the riprap on Petitioner's riparian property was removed. Also on 30 May 2008, Petitioner first received a copy of DCM's letter dated 27 May 2008, officially stating for the first time that "the restoration appears to be complete to the satisfaction of DCM" and fining Dr. Herlong $975.00. See Exhibit "L". The NOV states: "Conformation that the adjacent riparian property owners have been notified by certified mail of the completed work has [sic.] been performed. This notice instructed the adjacent property owners to provide any comments on the completed development in writing to the division within ten (10) days of the receipt of the notice and indicated that no responses from them will be interpreted as not having any objection." Petitioner did not receive this notice, and , G therefore, was not provided any process to provide comments or objections to the restoration plan as set forth in the NOV. Riprap remains buried under Petitioner's eastern property line despite the NOV and restoration plan. V. Conclusion. The preceding facts giving rise to this appeal further establish that Petitioner's appeal is timely and that Petitioner meets each of the three criteria for being granted a hearing under N.C. G. S. 113A -121.1(b). Respectfully submitted this day of June, 2008. THOMAS RESTON WILSON 409 Pollock St. Post Office Box 1676 New Bern, NC 28563 (252) 634-9400 (252) 634-3464 (Fax) N.C.

The purpose of the visit was to monitor the permitted development of a new bulkhead and riprap along the Neuse River. Tere Barrett of the DCM, Jason Hill of Decks 'n Docks, and Pete Chiles were also present at this meeting. I also conducted two previous site visits on April 17, 2008 and May 6, 2008 during the investigation process. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 52144C which was issued to you by the Coastal Resources Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. [hereby request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such violation(s) and comply with the terms and conditions of the above permit. On February 7, 2008, State Permit No. 52144C was issued to Jason Hill of Decks 'n Docks Inc. for construction of a new bulkhead and riprap within the Neuse River on property located in Pamlico County, North Carolina, off Indian Bluff Drive. This permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concern, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions: 1. Bulkhead was to be placed landward of normal water level, with the riprap not to exceed 10' waterward of normal water level. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252.808-28081 FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www,nccoastalmanagement.net An r: --I 0nnn.f—;i,.1 A;;;--;-- A-,; ^- C_..i.,....

Bulkhead was reconfigured waterward of authorized location, but not waterward of normal water level; 2. Riprap was reconfigured waterward of the bulkhead location, but not exceeding 10' waterward of normal water level; 3. Riprap was placed across the adjacent riparian property, measuring approximately 6' by 5'. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. A civil penalty of up to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) may be assessed, or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against any person who violates a CAMA Major Development permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $650, plus investigative costs against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on. several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested but is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration (N.C.G.S. 113A-126). Based upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the activity you have undertaken appears inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the permit by placing 6' by 5' of riprap across the adjacent riparian property. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is being requested and the restoration was completed on May 15, 2008. Confirmation that the adjacent riparian property owners have been notified by certified mail of the completed work has been performed, This notice instructed the adjacent property owners to provide any comments on the completed development in writing to this Division within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice and indicated that no response from them will be interpreted as not having any objection. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If -you have any questions about this or related matters, please call me at (252) 808-2808. Upon my submission of an enforcement report to the District Manager, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for failure to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of such permit. The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection will be made in the near future to determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. I request that you contact me immediately about these important matters.

Box 1676 New Bern, NC 28563 Subj: Site Visit to Examine Construction on Hedong Waterfront Property Downstream of 47 Indian Bluff Drive, Arapahoe, NC Dear Mr. Wilson, On 24 May 2008, 1 accompanied Robert W. Carr on a cursory examination of waterfront construction activities on the property downstream from his riverfront property at 47 Indian Bluff Drive in Arapahoe, NC. The purpose of this cursory examination was to use my waterfront engineering experience to identify potential economic and physical damages to the Carr property that might result from the construction underway on the Herlong property. I have attached a CV that describes some of my background that enables me to make engineering judgments about this matter. I have been a member of or project manager of scores of design and construction teams that have dealt with shoreline protection in various locations and in various soil conditions. This experience has led me to understand the shoreline stabilization and sheetpile wall construction issues at this site. This is a difficult river front site because of the high bluff face (-25 feet), the easily eroded material (sand), the eroded condition of the existing bluff, the presence of the relics of a previous wood wall and exposure of the site to storm surge and wind driven waves over fetches ranging from 6 miles from the south to 12.5 miles from the west. Several issues should be resolved before construction on the adjacent property is allowed to proceed. These are: Permit Drawing Compliance: During the permit application process, Mr. Carr signed off on a drawing provided to him by Dr. Herlong's agent, Decks 'n Docks Construction. It is difficult to correlate the sketch shown on CAMA General Permit No. 52144 with the drawing that Mr. Carr signed, but the position of the vinyl sheetpile wall and the rip -rap toe protection being constructed are clearly several feet forward of the position Mr. Carr accepted during the permit application process. 1911 Hillandale Road, Suite 1050 • Durham, North Carolina 27705 • Voice: 919-383-2426 • Fax: 919-383-1145 • email: ba@brockwell.com 47 Indian Bluffs Drive, Arapahoe, NC Page 2 Location of the Herlong Rip -Rap The rip -rap on the Herlong property is a relic part of a wood and rip -rap wall system that failed more than a decade ago. During recent construction operations, the rip -rap was removed from the river's edge, staged ashore and then reinstalled outboard of the wall now being constructed. Normally, rip -rap is placed on geotechnical fabric in front of a sheetpile wall after the wall and tieback system has been installed. Unless additional rip -rap is added atop what is now installed, it is likely that the sand in front of the wall will be eroded, increasing the likelihood of a failure at the toe of the sheetpile. It is hard to predict the impact on shoreline erosion and sediment transport at Carr's shoreline due to the Herlong rip -rap being forward of the Carr wall (which is at the high water line), but it is obvious that it will deny access to residents who have been able to walk along the shoreline at the toe of the bluffs when the Neuse stage is below the high water level. Elevation of the Herlong Water's Edge Terrace: Based on construction to date, the contractor intends to use 10 foot sheetpile imbedded about 2 feet into the sand behind the relocated rip -rap. This is a problem from a structural standpoint due to inadequate embedment of the sheetpile. This wall geometry will place the top of the Herlong wall several feet above Carr's terrace at the water's edge and create a vertical face at the end of the Carr terrace. One's initial reaction is that this is only an un -neighborly arrangement, but there are serious structural and erosion issues. Herlong's west end wall will be separated from the east end wall of Carr's terrace. During storm events that overtop Carr's lower terrace, wind driven waves will be reflected off this vertical face and the impounded water will jet down between the two end walls, eroding the sand between the walls and probably jeopardizing the structural integrity of both end walls. If the Herlong lower terrace is constructed at the same elevation as the Carr lower terrace, the waves will pass along the Herlong terrace and the erosion will be greatly reduced. In either case, it is recommended that the sand in the gap between the walls be protected by installing geotechnical fabric and rip -rap. End walls of sheetpile bulkheads are often involved in wall failure because the wall is flanked and fill is lost from behind the wall. End walls in tied back sheetpile systems are 47 Indian Bluffs Drive, Arapahoe, NC Page 3 particularly vulnerable because of the difficulty in constructing the tieback system and keeping the deadman anchors outside the soil slip circle. Structural Integrity of the Herlong Lower Terrace Wall As Now Constructed It appears that the 10 foot sheetpile wall sections for the Herlong lower terrace wall have not been driven far enough into native material to develop the soil structure interaction necessary to keep the wall in place. Unless the sheetpiles are driven further into the natural sand, it is highly probable that the toe of the wall will kick out and the wall will fail. I suspect that the contractor has had problems driving the vinyl sheetpile material because the tips of the sheetpile encountered subterranean portions of the prior timber wall and tiebacks. In order to successfully drive the vinyl material, it may be necessary to use a steel sheetpile mandrel. Potential Failure of the Herlong Upper Terrace Walls and Tieback System One can readily understand the desire of an owner to preserve the property along the bluffs overlooking the Neuse estuary at Indian Bluff Drive. Mr. Carr has taken great pain and incurred considerable expense to protect the shoreline and the bluff on his property by a combination of structural and vegetative means. It makes sense that Dr. Herlong would want to recover and be able to use the south end of his property that is now an eroded bluff. He apparently intends to do this by constructing a series of terraces supported by tied back sheetpile walls constructed in the material of the eroded slope. Stabilizing high bluffs of this nature requires careful analysis by an experienced geotechnical engineer, even when a series of walled terraces is used to solve the problem. Sheetpile walls must always be driven a sufficient depth into competent material to develop the structural properties of the sheetpile or of the sheetpile and tieback system. When tiebacks are used, the "deadman" anchors and the tieback rods must have the capacity to support the sheetpile wall and the deadman anchors must be installed far enough behind the wall to be beyond the soil slope failure curve. Constructing a wall and filling behind it in a high bluff situation like this one often requires post -tensioning of the tieback system in order to develop the soil -structure interaction. Constructing a viable system of walled terraces in a situation like this one where there is already a severely eroded slope would be very demanding. Such construction will remove the vegetation that currently protects some of the bluff from runoff erosion. 47 Indian Bluffs Drive, Arapahoe, NC Page 4 If the Herlong terrace wall system should fail, reconstruction would be an even more daunting task because of the presence of deadman anchors, tieback rods, sheetpile, etc. and the movement and erosion of the backfill. It is likely that the east flank of the Carr waterfront improvements would be damaged by a terrace wall failure on the Herlong property. Recommendations: The current stop work order should remain in effect until these matters can be resolved in a way that will not harm the Carr property. Dr. Herlong and his agent should provide wall design drawings and calculations prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in North Carolina and experienced in design of sheetpile wall systems in this type of sand bluff environ. These documents should specify the minimum embedment of the sheetpile sections and the placement of the deadman anchors. If I may be of further service or, if you have questions, please contact me.

On Wednesday I spoke with Skip Lee, and Skip informed me that you would be requiring Dr. Herlong to resubmit objection letters to adjacent property owners addressing his proposed amended permit. I wanted to confirm this with you, confirm that there is a current "stop work" on the property, and get your position as to whether DCM is going to be approving the amended permit. Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss, as my client wants clear notice as to any agency decision that might lift the stop work and otherwise trigger the clock on his deadline to submit his 3rd Party Hearing Request/Petition as to the amended permit.

If something happens to your stones (hurricane water surge) you will lose everything on your bank --every plant, every structure, EVERYTHING! It will be like dominos!! WHY? Because you have nothing embedded in virgin soil!!!!! Nothing anchored!!!! Everything, all three or four walls that you build is in fill. You will have lost your entire investment because some rocks got shifted in a hurricane. (I've seen this happen before!) YOU are on the open Neuse River --NOT somewhere up the Trent River. If I should lose my first wall I still have my second wall. Why? Because my pilings and boards were driven into virgin soil on my second wall like my first wall. *I mentioned to you that a visitor could mistep and fall off your wall onto the rocks eight feet below. This would be unfortunate and could have been avoided! *So Brad, you and CAMA are again notified that I oppose this construction as it is presently being accomplished. The vinyl wall sections are NOT being hammered into virgin soil, but are being placed in sand fill with less than four feet penetration. The rocks in front of the wall is all that will hold the vinyl sections in place. These rocks can and WILL be moved by a storm's water surge and history has shown this to be a fact. And finally Brad I feel that LAMA overstepped its authority by allowing Dr. 1 of,- 6/10/2008 2:55 PA Re: follow up to our previous conversation v Herlong to extend his wall and therefore his rocks out in front of my wall. Thus creating a "jetty" that over time WILL weaken my wall system. *I additionally feel that CAMA has allowed Dr. Herlong to RECLAIM property that because of a "specific" time period has elasped since the previous wall was removed by a storm is now no longer available to him to reclaim. * I agree that CAMA should look at each case on its own merits, *HOWEVER when you see that there is an adjacent wall already in place you should NOT allow the property owner to go out beyond this wall KNOWING the effects that this will have on the existing wall.* ALSO it should be considered that by CAMA allowing the Herlong wall to do out so far into the River CAMA has approved an impediment that will prevent people from being able to walk the shore line. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN CONSIDERED WHEN YOU MADE YOUR DECISION. You should know that I have contacted both an engineer and counsel to continue my opposition to this work.

According to the submitted drawing, the proposal was in conflict with 15A NCAC 07H .I 105(c) by the rip rap extending out past 10' from nwl. I informed Mr. Hill of this and explained to him how to bring the project into compliance. He is currently taking steps to do so. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Many waterfront owners would like to slow or prevent further erosion by stabilizing the shoreline. Shoreline Stabilization is defined as the use of engineered structures, vegetation, or land management practices to provide protection of a shoreline from future or existing erosion. Although the most commonly used method is a bulkhead, there are many other options available. Some of the available options can actually improve the local habitat. Land Planning Land planning is designing your property around existing conditions and possible erosion. This includes utilizing the land as it exists without construction of shoreline stabilization methods. The most common practices associated with land planning include setbacks, buffers, and no action. Land Planning allows for marsh to migrate and allows for the system to remain natural at minimal cost, but will allow erosion to continue. Permitting Options: None required Vegetation Control Vegetation control (a.k.a.: Wetland or upland plantings) is the use of wetland (marsh or swamp forest) vegetation (new plantings or preserving existing wetland vegetation) to control or prevent further erosion. Vegetation may be planted or allowed to colonize naturally. A final established minimum width of 10 feet is preferable to dissipate wave energy and thus controlling erosion. Planting vegetation is the cheapest and most environmentally sound stabilization method. Vegetation increases the marsh habitat and provides food for the lower organisms such as algae and seaweeds, finfish and shellfish, mammals and shorebirds. Construction Material Options: Wetland or Upland Vegetation native to the area. Permitting Options: None required unless filling and/or grading is needed. Marsh Toe Protection Revetments Marsh Toe Protection Revetments (a.k.a.: Riprap at the waterward toe of marsh) are a shore -parallel, sloping structure constructed against a marsh escarpment to protect the marsh wetland roots from undermining. Placing riprap or stone on the waterward edge of the marsh helps to stabilize or reestablish the marsh vegetation. Marsh grasses dissipate wave energy and wave height through friction and drag, and thus help to reduce erosion further inland (usually on the high ground). Marsh vegetation also increases the marsh habitat and provides food for the lower organisms such as algae and seaweeds, finfish and shellfish, mammals and shorebirds. http://www.nccoastalmanagement.net/Hazards/estuarine_stabilization%20options.htm 6/10/2008 r Hazards Information - Estuarine Shoreline Stabilization Options EXIST MARSH EXIST.

A sill is placed just offshore of existing marsh to help reduce the erosion of the waterward edge (escarpment). If there is not marsh already on the property, a sill is placed just offshore of where marsh would or could grow and is planted. The sill helps to protect the marsh by dissipated enough wave energy so that the marsh can establish. Once established, the marsh grasses dissipate wave energy and wave height through friction and drag, and thus help to reduce erosion further inland (usually on the high ground). Marsh vegetation also increases the marsh habitat and provides food for the lower organisms such as algae and seaweeds, finfish and shellfish, mammals and shorebirds.

Breakwaters are typically constructed of stone, with multiple structures detached or gapped with a distance equal to length of one individual structure. Breakwaters reflect and dissipate wave energy creating a lower wave energy area landward of the structure. A sandy beach is usually created between the structure and shore, but only when longshore transport of sand (movement of sand along a shoreline) occurs. The trapped sand is commonly "stolen" from somewhere downdrift, which then in turn accelerates erosion downdrift of your property.

Revetments are typically constructed on a 1 V: 1.5-31-1 slope. The riprap used to construct the revetment will settle and readjust during storms or wave action and as such the stone used needs to be heavy enough or securely tied down to remain in place. Revetments are long lasting structures designed to hold back the land to prevent erosion and because it is sloped, absorb wave action. Although revetments cause a loss of soft bottom habitat, it causes less habitat destruction and loss than bulkheads and also creates fisheries habitat.

It will be like dominos!! WHY? Because you have nothing embedded in virgin soil!!!!! Nothing anchored!!!! Everything, all three or four walls that you build is in fill. You will have lost your entire investment because some rocks got shifted in a hurricane. (I've seen this happen before!) YOU are on the open Neuse River --NOT somewhere up the Trent River. If I should lose my first wall I still have my second wall. Why? Because my pilings and boards were driven into virgin soil on my second wall like my first wall. *I mentioned to you that a visitor could mistep and fall off your wall onto the rocks eight feet below. This would be unfortunate and could have been avoided! *So Brad, you and CAMA are again notified that I oppose this construction as it is presently being accomplished. The vinyl wall sections are NOT being hammered into virgin soil, but are being placed in sand fill with less than four feet penetration. The rocks in front of the wall is all that will hold the vinyl sections in place. These rocks can and WILL be moved by a storm's water surge and history has shown this to be a fact. And finally Brad I feel that LAMA overstepped its authority by allowing Dr. Herlong to extend his wall and therefore his rocks out in front of my wall. Thus creating a "jetty" that over time WILL weaken my wall system. *I additionally feel that CAMA has allowed Dr. Herlong to RECLAIM property that because of a "specific" time period has elasped since the previous wall was removed by a storm is now no longer available to him to reclaim. * I agree that CAMA should look at each case on its own merits, *HOWEVER when you see that there is an adjacent wall already in place you should NOT allow the property owner to go out beyond this wall KNOWING the effects that this will have on the existing wall.* ALSO it should be considered that by LAMA allowing the Herlong wall to do out so far into the River CAMA has approved an impediment that will prevent people from being able to walk the shore line. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN CONSIDERED WHEN YOU MADE YOUR DECISION. You should know that I have contacted both an engineer and counsel to continue my opposition to this work.

I met with Dr. Herlong and his contratctor Jason Hill of Decks and Docks this past Sunday evening. Unfortunately I was not able to persuade them to reduce the height of their front wall or to comply with the drawing that we ALL approved back in January. They are redrawing their plan according to what has already been constructed on site to present to you for approval. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS NEW DRAWING FOR APPROVAL OR INFORMATION YET! Again, I am NOT in favor of this work as it being drawn or performed. I am not sure that you have anything to say about the ENGINEERING of the wall system, but I think it is flawed and the first major hurricane is going to scatter these VINYL WALL pieces all over Pamlico County! As far as the enginering is concerned here are my thoughts as stated in a previous e-mail to Dr. Herlong: Dr. Herlong, your front wall does not need to be six feet above my lower wall to accomplish what you want to do. This is simply overkill and most reasonable people with a little common sense would understand this. This advice is free. The higher you build your wall the better chance that nature will destroy it. You should have your vinyl members hammered into virgin soil (like Rusher's) not several feet deep in loose fill as you do now.

The violation involved Estuarine and Public Trust Waters and the Estuarine Shoreline, which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on May 15, 2008 by Brad Connell and Tere Barrett, the restoration requested appears to be complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management. The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative costs may be assessed for any violation. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a civil penalty for all violations in order to recover some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Under the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $975.00 is appropriate for this violation. You may expeditiously resolve this matter prior to the assessment of a formal civil penalty by accepting responsibility for the violation and paying the amount proposed above. In order to do this, you must: (1) sign one of the attached copies of an "Agreement to Pay Civil Assessment;" (2) attach a check or money order for $975.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR); and, (3) return the signed agreement and payment to this office in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of your receipt of this letter. Upon deposit of your check in the Department's account, you will receive a Notice of Compliance officially closing this enforcement action. If you do not send a signed agreement and payment to this office within ten (10) days, the Director of the Division of Coastal Management will formally assess a civil penalty against you. You will then have the opportunity to request a hearing on the penalty or request remission of the penalty. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081 FAX: 252-247-33301 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer —50% Recycled 110% Post consumer Paper John Herlong z May 27, 2008 Page 2 Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter.

Box 3482 New Bern, NC 28564-3482 M /r`(0-)nM RE; NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT CAMA VIOLATION #08-13C Dear Mr. Hill: This letter is in reference to my May 15, 2008 visit onsite John Herlong's property off Indian Bluff Drive in Indian Bluff subdivision, on the Neuse River, at or near Arapahoe in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite visit was to investigate unauthorized development on the aforementioned property. Tere Barrett of the DCM, yourself, and Pete Chiles were also present at this meeting. I also conducted two previous site visits on April 17, 2008 and May 6, 2008 during the investigation process. Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for John Herlong are in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake major development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. I have information that indicates that you have undertaken or are legally responsible for violating permit conditions by not adhering to the configuration drawn on the permit. This activity took place in Estuarine Shoreline and Public Trust Waters that are contiguous with Neuse River. Estuarine Shoreline and Public Trust Waters areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this area. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this matter. A civil assessment of up to $10,000 may be assessed against any violator.

It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty $650, plus investigative costs against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating the violation and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0409(g)(4)(B)(6)(E), the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission is to levy a civil assessment against contractors in addition to that assessed against the landowner. The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws.

The purpose of the visit was to monitor the permitted development of a new bulkhead and riprap along the Neuse River. Tere Barrett of the DCM, Jason Hill of Decks `n Docks, and Pete Chiles were also present at this meeting. I also conducted two previous site visits on April 17, 2008 and May 6, 2008 during the investigation process. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 52144C which was issued to you by the Coastal Resources Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I hereby request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such violation(s) and comply with the terms and conditions of the above permit. On February 7, 2008, State Permit No. 52144C was issued to Jason Hill of Decks `n Docks Inc. for construction of a new bulkhead and riprap within the Neuse River on property located in Pamlico County, North Carolina, off Indian Bluff Drive. This permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concern, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions: 1. Bulkhead was to be placed landward of normal water level, with the riprap not to exceed 10' waterward of normal water level. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper Herlong May 21, 2008 Page 2 For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions(s) of your permit: 1. Bulkhead was reconfigured waterward of authorized location, but not waterward of normal water level; 2. Riprap was reconfigured waterward of the bulkhead location, but not exceeding 10' wateNvard of normal water level; 3. Riprap was placed across the adjacent riparian property, measuring approximately 6' by 5'. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. A civil penalty of up to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) may be assessed, or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against any person who violates a CAMA Major Development permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $650, plus investigative costs against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested but is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration (N.C.G.S. 113A-126). Based upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the activity you have undertaken appears inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the permit by placing 6' by 5' of riprap across the adjacent riparian property. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is being requested and the restoration was completed on May 15, 2008. Confirmation that the adjacent riparian property owners have been notified by certified mail of the completed work has been performed. This notice instructed the adjacent property owners to provide any comments on the completed development in writing to this Division within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice and indicated that no response from them will be interpreted as not having any objection. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If you have any questions about this or related matters, please call me at (252) 808-2808. Upon my submission of an enforcement report to the District Manager, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for failure to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of such permit. The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection will be made in the near future to determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with.

C/o Mr, Jason Hill PO Box 3482 New Bern, NC 28564-3482 RE: CAMA VIOLATION #08-13C Dear Mr. Hill: This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated May 21, 2008 that Brad Connell, representative for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to Decks'n Docks, Inc. for unauthorized placement/location/design of riprap and bulkhead on the property of Mr. John Herlong, adjacent to the Neuse River at 23 Indian Bluff Drive, Pamlico County. The violation involved Estuarine and Public Trust Waters and the Estuarine Shoreline, which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on May 15, 2008 by Brad Connell and Tere Barrett, the restoration requested appears to be complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management. The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative costs may be assessed for any violation. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a civil penalty for all violations in order to recover some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Under the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $975.00 is appropriate for this violation. You may expeditiously resolve this matter prior to the assessment of a formal civil penalty by accepting responsibility for the violation and paying the amount proposed above. In order to do this, you must: (1) sign one of the attached copies of an "Agreement to Pay Civil Assessment;" (2) attach a check or money order for $975.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR); and, (3) return the signed agreement and payment to this office in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of your receipt of this letter. Upon deposit of your check in the Department's account, you will receive a Notice of Compliance officially closing this enforcement action. If you do not send a signed agreement and payment to this office within ten (10) days, the Director of the Division of Coastal Management will formally assess a civil penalty against you. You will then have the opportunity to request a hearing on the penalty or request remission of the penalty. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081 FAX: 252-247-33301 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer —50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper Decks 'n Docks C/o Mr. Jason Hill May 27, 2008 Page 2 Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter.
