Ted,
Scott Jones was handling this situation for us before I came to the Morehead City
office, so he has a lot more of the background information than I do. On May 26, 2000,
DCM issued Notice of Violation # 00-19C to Fairfield Harbour Property Owners
Association for undertaking development in a designated AEC without authorization.
Restoration was not required. NCDWQ issued a violation to Fairfield Harbor Property
Owners Association for violating the EMC's Neuse River Buffer Rules by constructing
five stormwater outfalls through the buffer. After much discussion and negotiation, a
restoration plan was developed that would satisfy the State's stonnwater regulations and
allow restoration of the buffer. As restoration for this violation, and as part of Stormwater
Permit #SW7000578, Fairfield Harbour POA is being required to return the areas to
preproject elevations and to revegetate with appropriate vegetation. The restoration
required development in DCM's Coastal Shoreline AEC, authorization from this Division
was required through the Minor Permit Program. Until Scott left in May, I forwarded all
correspondence concerning the project to him.
I received a letter on April 16, 2002 from C.D. Marks and Karl Gunsser, and a
letter from Mr. Michael Furfero on April 29, 2002 objecting to the proposed project. On
April 5, 2002 a CAMA Minor permit application was submitted by Michael Rice of
Robert Chiles Engineering on behalf of the Fairfield Harbour Property Owners
Association to place fill in three drainage outfalls adjacent to Northwest Creek. On May
28, 2002 Craven County contacted Mr. Rice saying they had check but no application. He
resubmitted the permit application. On May 29, 2002, I talked to our Local Permit
Officer for Craven County, and we discussed the application. This is the first time I was
aware the application had been submitted. Although the 25 days had passed, I requested
that they issue a permit. On July 1, 2002, Craven County issued a CAMA Minor permit
to Fairfield Harbour POA. The permit was not written on the proper form, nor was it
conditioned properly. I was faxed a copy of the permit by Mr. Rice on 13 August 2002.
The permit was written like a building permit with an expiration date six months after
issuance. Because the 25 days were expired, and we had a new Local Permit Officer, I
decided not to pursue having a correct permit issued. At some point during this process, I
lost track of the objection letters, and neglected to send letters to the concerned parties
upon issuance of the permit.

Att: Mr. John Dorney
Re: Comments and Strong Protest on Fairfield Harbour Drainage
Project Permit Applications
Dear Mr. Dorney:
I am in receipt of a Public Notice issued by the US Corps of Engineers, Action
Number 200210940, regarding an application by the Fairfield Harbour Property
Owners Association (FHPOA) for a permit for dredging existing wetlands as part
of proposed stormwater management system (authorized by permit number SW
7000518).
As I understand it this permit from the Corps of Engineers will not be issued until
the NCDWD acts on certifying or denying certification required by Section 401
of the Clean Water Act.
My wife and I reside at Lot 257 adjacent to Outfall C. We have previously made
comments on the CAMA permit request made by the FHPOA in protest of the
plan. We protested this permit request in the strongest possible terms in a letter
to CAMA dated April 14, 2002. A copy of this letter is attached and made a part
of this letter of protest.
We were very disappointed to learn that our comments were totally
disregarded by CAMA and the permit to dam up the last fifty feet of
the outfall was granted. We received no comment from CAMA and
were not consulted at all after our comments were submitted.
As you know, the Fairfield Harbour (FH) Drainage Projects have
been carried out by the FHPOA in disregard for Federal and State
environmental regulations, and the projects still stand in violation
of a number of regulations years after the FHPOA was cited and
told to correct the violations.
We cannot understand why the FHPOA has been allowed to evade
the law by continually applying for retroactive permits that would, if
applied for before hand, never have been granted.

I think the attached comments, previously made to CAMA, summarize our
concerns. By what right does the FHPOA illegally build useless drainage
ditches, manipulate the permitting process to dam up the ditches and use my
property as the primary draining point for Outfall C?
As an example of the tactics being employed by the FHPOA, the CAMA permit
request to "restore" the buffer zone specifically stated that the buffer would be
restored to original grade and vegetation. When affected property
owners questioned this and pointed out that this would result in the
flooding of the adjacent properties the POA told us not to worry
about it — "there will be a lower grade swale left that will continue
to drain the ditch". This Is in direct contradiction to the conditions of
the permit.
There have been statements made by the FHPOA maintaining that
the work done on the ditches was simply a clearing and slight
deepening of existing ditches. I can attest that in the case of Outfall
C this is simply not true. Outfall C was illegally created by digging
a ditch where none of any kind existed before. There was no
depression, swale or drainage channel of any kind before the
construction of the outfall. There is no justification for the argument
that a permit was not required because the new work was a n
"enhancement" of existing conditions; its simply not true. The
discharge pipe installed under Bucco Reef Road and the entire
ditch were put in to create a new outfall where no natural or
constructed drainage existed before.
To allow the destruction of existing wetlands, as in the proposed work in area D,
in order to build larger settling ponds that will be drained through dammed
Outfalls that should never have been built and in the process essentially
expropriate adjacent properties for drainage is unacceptable.
The area in which the proposed ponds would be built is a long term wetland
which is already doing its job of filtration and return of water to the water table.
There is no justification for dredging up the existing area in order to "improve"
what is already working well.
In addition the proposal to block Outfalls D and B during the construction of the
proposed ponds will triple the flow of water and sediment across my property.
Another example of arbitrary and damaging action taken without
thought or concern of the consequences to the rights of residents.
The actions of the FHPOA since the start of these projects has been one of
obstruction, delay, and solicitation of political interference with the regulatory
process by members of the legislature. All in lieu of responsible action to admit
a mistake and start over again.

It would be a mistake to assume that the FHPOA is accurately reflecting the
wishes of FH residents. My interaction with a number of residents indicate to
me that the FHPOA has it own agenda that does not match that of the residents
most effected by these projects.
The best possible action to end this charade Is for the State of
North Carolina to require that all of the previous illegal work be
undone and the properties returned to their original state.
My wife and I request that the State of North Carolina refuse any
further permits or certifications and move to require total
restoration.
Should you wish to discuss any of this with me, I can be reached at 252-636-
3941.

Re: Comments and Strong Protest on Fairfield Harbour Project
CAMA Minor Permit Application
Dear Ms. Wheeler:
We have received a copy of the application submitted by the Fairfield Harbour
Property Owners Association for a "minor" project to partially fill three drainage
ditches to restore the Neuse River buffer.
As the owners of lot 257 (CD Marks) and lot 256 (Karl Gunsser) adjacent to
OutfalI C we were informed that you would receive and consider comments on
the proposed project from the adjacent property owners if submitted within 30
days from receipt of notification of the project.
We received notification on April 4, 2002, and wish to submit the following
comments, and strong protest and objection to the project as it is proposed.
(1) As you know the drainage project(s) at Fairfield Harbour has been a matter
of considerable discussion with the State over the last several years. The
drainage ditches, as I understand it, were never properly permitted by State
authorities. In addition there has been considerable intra community
disagreement over what should have been done, and now should be done.
In the case of Outfall C, both of the riparian property owners (lots 257 & 256)
adjacent to what is now Outfall C argued, without success, that it should
never have been built in the first place. Perhaps if proper permit processes
had been followed our voice might have been heard.
(2) Our arguments, then and now, was and is that Outfall C is unnecessary
since (a) the property across the street is now a marsh land that should not
be drained, and (b) there already existed (and still exists) a drain line that
drains that area of hurricane type runoff.

(3) Now the proposal is to literally dam up the last 50 feet of the ditch. This will
leave the Outfall totally ineffective as a drain of any kind, but
(a)leave the adjacent property owners with a ditch that will
overflow in heavy rain and flood our properties as the water tries
to find a way to get to the marsh line, a n d
(b) create a weed filled, stagnant ditch with standing water that
has no place to go, creating a safety and health hazard without
accomplishing any useful function at all. Our property values
would be adversely affected with no offsetting public benefit of
any kind.
(4) In summary, we, as the adjacent property owners are completely
and strongly opposed to the portion of the project that concerns
Outfall C. The ditch should be left as it is, or completely filled from Bucco
Reef Road to the marsh. Since we understand that the buffer as a minimum
must be restored as a matter of law, then we support the complete filling
of Outfall C since it serves no useful purpose.
We hope that these comments will be carefully considered by the State as it
considers the permit request from the Fairfield Harbour POA. If the FHPOA had
followed the permitting process in the first place all of this would have never
occurred. Now in an attempt to "backtrack" even more damage will be done if
this project, as it pertains to Outfall C, is allowed to proceed as proposed.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, or wish additional
information please contact C.D. Marks at 252-636-3941, or Karl Gunsser at 252-
637-4711.
Thank you for your consideration of our comments and objections.

RE: Objection to FH Project CAMA Minor Permit Application.
Dear Ms. Wheeler
I have received a copy of the application and drawings submitted by the Fairfield Harbour
Property Owner's Association for a project to fill 3 drainage ditches to restore the Neuse
River buffer.
As the owner of Lot 346 on Gondolier Drive, Outfall 1, 1 am opposed to the
aforementioned plan. As a property owner I feel we should have a say and a right as
to what is put on our property. I do not agree with the plan and can see nothing but
more trouble in the existing future. An open ditch is a potential hazard to flooding my
property, stagnant water and insects.
I live in a lake community in New Jersey and have a closed 48" drain on my property.
Twenty years ago it was open and caused all kinds of havoc to say nothing of the
overflow and flooding in our home.
I have owned Lot 346 for more than 12 years and don't remember receiving a
request to enter my property .
In the past my property has been for sale. If ever I wish to sell, I'm sure this would
have an adverse reaction for a potential buyer. Actually, if someone is interested in
purchasing this lot I'd be glad to entertain the thought.
In summary I'm strongly opposed to a riparian buffer on Lot 346, Outfall 1. 1 would
like to be apprised of the outcome and progress of this foolish project.
If you have any questions or comments for me, contact me at the address above or
973-729-8057 or 973-729-5034.
Thank you for considering my objections and comments.

never have been built in the first place. Perhaps if proper permit processes
had been followed our voice might have been heard.
(2) Our arguments, then and now, was and is that Outfall C is unnecessary
since (a) the property across the street is now a marsh land that should not
be drained, and (b) there already existed (and still exists) a drain line that
drains that area of hurricane type runoff.

(3) Now the proposal is to literally dam up the last 50 feet of the ditch. This will
leave the Outfall totally ineffective as a drain of any kind, but
(a)leave the adjacent property owners with a ditch that will
overflow in heavy rain and flood our properties as the water tries
to find a way to get to the marsh line, a n d
(b) create a weed filled, stagnant ditch with standing water that
has no place to go, creating a safety and health hazard without
accomplishing any useful function at all. Our property values
would be adversely affected with no offsetting public benefit of
any kind.
(4) In summary, we, as the adjacent property owners are completely
and strongly opposed to the portion of the project that concerns
Outfall C. The ditch should be left as it is, or completely filled from Bucco
Reef Road to the marsh. Since we understand that the buffer as a minimum
must be restored as a matter of law, then we support the complete filling
of Outfall C since it serves no useful purpose.
We hope that these comments will be carefully considered by the State as it
considers the permit request from the Fairfield Harbour POA. If the FHPOA had
followed the permitting process in the first place all of this would have never
occurred. Now in an attempt to "backtrack" even more damage will be done if
this project, as it pertains to Outfall C, is allowed to proceed as proposed.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, or wish additional
information please contact C.D. Marks at 252-636-3941, or Karl Gunsser at 252-

SUBJ: Fairfield Harbour Property Owners Association
Action I.D. No. 200210940
Dear Colonel Alexander:
This is in response to the above referenced public notice, dated August 20, 2002, to
excavate and grade approximately 0.44 acres of waters of the U.S., for the construction of a
storm water management system in accordance with an approved stormwater permit (number SW
7000518). According to the public notice, the project area is adjacent to Northwest Creek and
Upper Broad Creek, in the Fairfield Harbour Subdivision, Craven County, North Carolina.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4, Wetlands Regulatory
Section, has reviewed this proposal, and although we are typically concerned about the utilization
of natural wetlands for storm water treatment, we understand that this is a retro-fitting project
which has few alternatives. We will not oppose this particular project based upon the location of
the storm water treatment system. However, EPA remains concerned that the storm water
treatment facilities are also proposed to be utilized for compensatory mitigation of the wetland
impacts. It is EPA's position that the footprint of wetlands within an authorized storm water
treatment system are no longer waters of the U.S. As such, the wetlands cannot be considered for
compensatory wetland mitigation. Rather, the impacts should be compensated by in -kind
mitigation, within the same watershed and as close to the impact site as possible. Thus, EPA
does not believe that it is acceptable to utilize the 1.73 acres of storm water wetlands as
mitigation, and we recommend that the applicant be required to provide compensatory mitigation
(within or adjacent to waters of the U.S.) for the proposed wetland impacts at the following
minimum ratios:
Wetland restoration -
2:1
Wetland enhancement -
4:1
Wetland creation -
6:1
Wetland preservation -
10:1

. ''t
2
Because EPA does not believe that the applicant has provided adequate wetland
mitigation to compensate for the proposed impacts, we cannot recommend authorization of the
project at this time. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact Kathy Matthews at the above address or by
telephone at [phone].
Sincerely,
Ronald J. lak, Chief

ACTION ID NO.200210940 August 20, 2002
PUBLIC NOTICE
Fairfield Harbour Property Owners Association, 902 Coral Reef Drive, New Bern, North
Carolina 28560, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO EXCAVATE AND
GRADE 19,166 SQUARE FEET (0.44 ACRES) OF DA JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS TO
FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AN APPROVED STORMWATER PERMIT, NUMBER SW 7000518,
ISSUED BY NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL
RESOURCES (NCDENR) ON JANUARY 4, 2002. The proposed project is located within the
Fairfield Harbour Subdivision off of North Carolina State Road 1600 (Broad Creek Road),
adjacent to Northwest Creek and Upper Broad Creek, Craven County, North Carolina. The
specific project locations are 1) between Bucco Reef Road and Blackbeards Lane just north
of Wind Way, and 2). on the north side of Gondolier Drive just east of Barbary Coast Drive.
Mr. Robert M. Chiles, Robert M. Chiles Consultants, Post Office Box 3496, New Bern, North
Carolina 28560, is acting as agent for the Fairfield Harbour Property Owners Association in the
processing of this application.
The following description of the project is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during onsite inspections by representatives of the Corps of Engineers. The
soils on the project site are mapped as Murville mucky loamy sand and Leon Sand. The wetland
area adjacent to Bucco Reef Road is a low to medium quality wetland (scrub -shrub) and is
dominated by Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), Red Bay (Persea
borbonia), Sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Netted. Chainfem
(Woodwardia areolata), and Giant Cane (Arundinaria gigantea). The woody vegetation from a
small portion of this wetland (0.12 acres) has been removed and contains only herbaceous plants.
The wetland area adjacent to Gondolier Drive is a low quality herbaceous wetland that was
denudated of standing timber after several storms in the late 1990's flooded these areas with
brackish water and killed the trees. The area is dominated by Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) and
Red Maple (Acer rubrum) seedlings, and contains Bulrush (Scirpus spp.), Wool Grass (Scirpus
Cyperinus), and Soft Rush (Juncus effusus).

♦ I I
-2-
Included with this public notice are plans showing the proposed work as well as additional
information provided by the applicant detailing avoidance and minimization efforts. The
applicant proposes to create 1.73 acres of herbaceous wetlands with the construction of the
permitted stormwater facility. A planting diagram is included with the public notice. At this
time, no further compensatory mitigation is proposed.
The applicant has applied for a North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, CAMA
Minor Permit for their review and concurrence for buffer restoration of three outfall areas located
along Northwest Creek in association with this permit request. The applicant has an approved
Erosion and Sedimentation control plan approved on May 11, 2000 for this project. This
proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such
as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General Statute
113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State -Owned submerged land
under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North
Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 a-50-66).
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit
will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and
reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500.

-3-
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified
in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public
hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent
of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity
will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest.
Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest
requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case.
The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and
if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the
outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for
both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the
proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are
conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, culturalvalues,
fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive
Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs,
considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply
with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding
sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that itmould be contrary to the public interest.

H
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties; water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not
be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers
whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA)
permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at
the offices of the Wetlands/401 Unit, NCDWQ, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27604-2260. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting,
copies upon payment of reproduction cost.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water
Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ), 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, on or before
September 14, 2002, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received
in the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, Washington Regulatory Field Office,
Attn: Mr. Scott Jones, Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina, 27889,
until 4:15 p.m., September 20, 2002 at telephone [phone], extension 27.

New Bern, NC 28560
RE: CAMA Violation #00-19C
Dear Mr. Brown:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation sent to you on May 26, 2000, for
undertaking unauthorized Major Development along Gondolier Drive, Trade Winds Road,
Hurricane Court, Wind Court, and Great Iguana Court in the Fairfield Harbor Community off
Broad Creek Road, adjacent to Northwest Creek, in Craven County. The development took
place with the Estuarine Shoreline of Northwest Creek. The Estuarine Shoreline is an Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC) as designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. There
was no restoration requested by the Division of Coastal Management.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $2500.00
may be assessed for any violation. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to
assess a civil penalty for all violations. This is done to recover some. of the costs of
investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural
resources.
Under Coastal Resource Commission rules, a civil penalty in the amount of $350.00 is
appropriate for this violation. In order to expeditiously resolve the matter, you may accept
responsibility for the violation, waive your right to an administrative hearing, and pay the
amount proposed above. I am enclosing two (2) copies of a "Waiver of Right to
Administrative Hearing and Agreement to Pay Civil Assessment•" . If you understand the
proposed assessment and wish to pay, you should: 1) sign one of the attached waivers; 2)
include a check or money order for $350.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR); and, 3) return the signed waiver and payment
to this office in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of receipt of this
letter. Once your check or money order is credited to the Department's account, you will be
notified of your compliance and the closure of this enforcement action. If you do not respond
within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice, I will issue a civil penalty assessment which you
may appeal by filing a petition for a hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearing.

Northwest Creek Drainage Outlets

Dear Mr. Brown:
Our office received your proposal regarding the subject drainage outlets. The proposal
identifies each of the outlets and describes a plan for removal of the sediment deposits. We reviewed
your proposal and found it to be consistent with the instructions we gave during recent site visits.
While this work is relatively minor in nature, it is important that this activity be conducted properly
to avoid any impacts to the adjacent wetlands and surface waters.
It is my understanding that this activity will not require any other permits; however, please
contact me prior to implementing this work. Scott Jones, Division of Coastal Management
representative, and I would like to meet with your maintenance crew in order to observe the initial
stages of the work. Based on our phone conversation today, the work should be accomplished the
week of April 16, 2001.
If you have any further questions, please contact me at the Washington Regional Office,

Scott, Mike and Jason,
Sorry you couldn't attend the meeting yesterday. As you can see from the attached E-mail and letter
hand -delivered to me by Tom Jones, it was a little "rocky" at the beginning. This was very awkward for
DWQ staff. We belived it to be completely unnecessary for Tom to behave this way. We held a debriefing
after our field investigation and internal meeting with the POA and invited Tom Jones and Dick Goodwin
of the NRF. It was the POA's decision not to let the NRF attend the preliminary meeting. The following
decision was made:
• The Fairfield Harbor POA is still in violation of the NRB rules.
• The submitted remediation plan is unacceptable.
• A new plan is to be submitted for the treatment of N to 30% reduction
• A new NOV will be sent to the POA for new violations noted during the site investigation on
12/13/00. Violations are for sediment in the ditches in Zone 1 of the buffer (18" to 24") in 3 of the
6 unpermitted channels. There are also 6 ditches which have been excavated and attached to the
roadside ditches on single lots for the purpose of draining wetlands. These are to be closed up[ by
the POA after notification to to the COE, DCM and the property owners.
• The POA has 3 options: 1)do nothing and the DWQ will proceed with enforcement immediately, 2)
fill in 50' from the bank to comply with the rules, 3) have an approved plan for the 30% reduction
of N.
We'll keep you abreast of the situation.
Thanks,
Deborah

Tommy,
Attached is a letter that I delivered to Division of Water Quality staff members this morning. It was prepared in the event that I
was excluded from their negotiations with the Fairfield Harbor Property Owners Association (POA) regarding resolution of a
violation involving destruction of buffers in the Neuse Basin (among ather violations received for this project). One of this year's
fish kills was in the impacted water body (1,700 dead in Northwest Creek), and the Rapid Response Team's report implicated the
1 of 2 12/ 15/00 9:33 AM

[Fwd: Fairfield Harbor Stormwater project]
unpermitted discharge points from the project as a potential cause.
I was indeed excluded, by the POA, by virtue of the meeting being held on their property. DWQ staff voiced "no objection" to my
presence. The POA did allow me to address them prior to the meeting, and to participate in a "briefing" with them and DWQ staff
after the session, which I will do, and for which I am appreciative. Of course, the end result will be a matter of public record in
any event, regardless of what transpires behind closed doors, and I will react accordingly. I offered only my services and
involvement for resolution, not to rehash unproductive recriminations.
I want to make clear that, by my letter, I am making no accusation of illegal actions by DWQ staff members. I truly believe that
DWQ staff members directly involved have the river's protection as their goal, and are proceeding with that end in mind. I am
disappointed in the end result of what have otherwise been positive and productive interactions. I feel that DWQ staff, while not
authorized or required to do more, could have exhibited some influence in this matter for a more cooperative event.
Therefore, I do object to this meeting being conducted in this fashion, and this letter makes the objection a matter of public record.
There are other concerns associated with this project beyond the technical considerations for N.O.V. resolution.
Letters have also been, and are being, sent to DWQ staff regarding this project from the Southern Environmental Law Center,
Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club.
I would be happy to discuss details with anyone interested.

Division of Water Quality
Dear Ms. Sawyer,
A stormwater management project was begun this past spring in Fairfield Harbor which resulted
in multiple violations of state regulations. This project was conducted, at the behest of Fairfield
Harbor's Property Owners Association, by Robert M. Chiles, P.E. The project violated the
Coastal Area Management Act, the Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act, the Neuse River
Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy and without a stormwater management
permit.
The Division of Water Quality has scheduled a meeting for today, Wednesday, December 13,
2000 at 10:00 a.m. at Fairfield Harbor to discuss installation of practices to remediate destroyed
buffers, while addressing Fairfield Harbor's stormwater management needs.
Fairfield Harbor's Property Owners Association has informed me that I, and the Neuse River
Foundation, will be excluded from this meeting, by virtue of it being held on their property.
Division personnel had communicated to me that if this were an issue, that the meeting would be
held at a public facility to accommodate our involvement.
I have no interest in anything other than a positive and productive resolution to implementation of
appropriate best management practices. In light of past violations, it is in the best interest of all
involved to hold these discussions with full participation of all legitimately interested parties.
I request that if we are to be excluded from this meeting due to its location, the Division of Water
Quality reconvene it at a public facility. If the meeting is held without our inclusion at its current
location, I must formally and publicly object.
Sincerely,
Tom Jones, Neuse Riverkeeper

Tommy,
Thanks for your response. Just got back from the briefing with DWQ staff & Fairfield Harbor's POA.
I am gratified at the apparent result of today's session between your staff and the POA. Wetland draining was identified, along
with corrective action. DWQ holds firm on the position that the proposed stormwater management plan is inadequate to address
remediation of destroyed buffers, and has asked the POA to direct Robert Chiles to again develop alternative stormwater
management facilities. The POA has agreed to do this. This may require creative, innovative practices outside the standard list. I
look forward to what that might be, along with supporting material.
We support this approach, and would welcome the opportunity to convert this from a contentious situation to one of a progressive
role model for other communities in similar situations. Time will tell.
I also know that my public delivery of a formal objection to your people made them very uncomfortable, as it did me. I conveyed
my intention to do so to two staff members (one from Raleigh and one from Washington) prior to the event, and I tried everything
else that I could think of first, but felt forced in the end to make an immediate and official statement as a final effort to achieve
what I felt to be an important objective for the River.
Thanks again, Tommy, and I hope you are doing well these days.

Deborah & Bob,
I know we've all got other projects to move on, so I hope after this I can put it aside for a bit. As you may understand from my
comments to Tommy Stevens, I didn't like putting you on the spot any more than you enjoyed having me do so. I didn't do so
lightly, & will not ever. I'm sure you also are aware that I remain firm in my commitment to involve myself in all future meetings
between DWQ staff and the Fairfield Harbor POA, so perhaps there is a solution that will not have to repeat yesterday's
scenario(?).
However, I feel very good about the outcome of yesterday's trials and tribulations. I greatly appreciated the briefing you and the
POA gave to Dick Goodwin and me, and the position that you maintained. Thank you.
While I will continue to profess hope for a shining model to emerge from the Fairfield Harbor stormwater project, and will work
towards that goal, I must remain vigilant, involved and guarded.
It is pertinent to note reasons for the POA to wish to conduct negotiations with you in private, and it's not because of your
Standard Operating Procedures. I know you are experienced and cognizant of these things, but I must state them anyway. The
ONLY reason can be that there would be efforts to conceal, mislead or improperly influence. As you all know, much bigger
operators and violators are very quick to see the advantage of Neuse River Foundation involvement when they truly decide to
properly address their violations.
The most blatant example came out in our post -session briefing: only 3 illegal ditches draining wetlands were addressed, and the
POA has "no idea" how these ditches came to be dug. We have identified 7 ditches needing investigation, which could have been
1 of 2 12/15/00 9:38 AM

[Fwd: Fairfield Harbor Recap]
done yesterday while you were on site. Now the POA promises to look for these themselves and properly address them on their
own (??), or yet another site visit must be conducted by staff?
In -line wetlands: I do look forward to creative solutions, & I know this site needs them badly if all parties are to get what they
want. I have extensive research background in nitrogen cycling in constructed and natural wetlands, and look forward to a
qualified expert's involvement in this project for development of such a facility. Read that: Bob Chiles is no such an expert. He
has already suggested that the existing ditches on site may already function in such a manner. However, I am quite comfortable
and confident in your oversight and capabilities in this issue.
I also look forward to resolution of penalties for violations incurred, especially in light of the possible implication by DWQ of the
illegal outfalls in the fish kill of September 1 of this year (1,700 fish).
Please let me state, for the record, that I will shout to the mountaintops that I have faith that you and most DENR employees want
what I want: protection and improvement of our water resources. I am personally experienced with the unreasonable workload
that staff is faced with, especially in the Regional Offices, and the pressures from the regulated community. My objective is to
facilitate your goals, even when my intrusions may seem otherwise. While my methods may exasperate you or complicate your
working life, in the long run I believe your ultimate objectives will actually be reached more effectively because of them. End of
soap box, thanks again for your diligence.
Sincerely,
Tom

DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #00-19C
Dear Mr. Brown:
Information gathered by the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have undertaken
Major Development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act.
No person may undertake Major Development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern
without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission, North
Carolina General Statutes (hereinafter abbreviated NCGS) 113A-118. I have information that you
have undertaken Major Development by installing a new stormwater management / drainage system
which outfalls to Northwest Creek located along Gondolier Drive, Trade Winds Road, Hurricane
Court, Wind Way, and Great Iguana Court in the Fairfield Harbor Community off Broad Creek
Road, in Craven County. This development is being undertaken within the Estuarine Shoreline,
a designated Area(s) of Environmental Concern, and no permit has been issued for it. Therefore,
I have concluded that you are ` in violation of the permit requirement 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 $2500.00 may be assessed against any violator. Each
day that the development described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate
violation which is subject to an additional assessment of $2500.00. An injunction or criminal
penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation. NCGS 113A-126.
It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of Three
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($350.00) against all violations. 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 which 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.

Please be advised that restoration of affected Estuarine Shoreline portions of Northwest Creek are not required
at this time. Any further modifications to these areas which may be essential in complying with related
regulatory agencies, will necessitate authorization by the NC Division of Coastal Management.
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 immediate future to
determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. Once again, I

Dear Mr. Brown:
APR I 2000
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
ti-O9EHEAD
Neuse Basin Buffer Rules
Craven County
On April 7, 2000, Brad Shaver of the Washington Regional Office investigated a buffer
violation in the Fairfield Harbour Subdivision. Mr. Shaver observed five drainage ditches excavated
to the edge of the Coastal Marsh, as identified by Mr. Scott Jones with the Division of Coastal
Management. These ditches as well as the temporary sediment and erosion control devices require
notice to the Division of Water Quality, through a determination of "no practical alternatives", prior
to construction. The drainage ditches are constructed through the buffer and therefore require a
stormwater management facility to control nitrogen and attenuate flow before discharge through the
riparian buffer. All five of these drainage ditches are along Gondolier Drive within the subdivision.
The impacts to the riparian buffer referenced above constitutes a violation of the Neuse River
Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Riparian
Areas, Administrative Code T15A:0233, which states the following:
"This Rule shall apply to 50 — foot wide riparian buffers directly adjacent to surface waters
in the Neuse River Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries),
excluding wetlands .... For surface waters within the 20 Coastal Counties within the
jurisdiction of the Division of Coastal Management, Zone 1 shall begin at the most landward
limit of the normal high water level, the normal water level, or the landward limit of coastal
wetlands as defined by the Division of Coastal Management and extend landward a distance
of 30 feet, measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the surface water." Zone 2 would
be measured landward of Zone 1 an additional 20 feet, the combination width would be the
required 50 feet.

"Uses designated as allowable may proceed within the riparian buffer provided that there are
no practical alternatives to the requested use pursuant to Item (8)... These uses require
written authorization from the Division or the delegated local authority."
The disturbance within the buffer along Gondolier Drive constitutes a violation of this Rule
promulgated under .0233 (7)(b). The drainage ditch construction and the placement of temporary
sediment erosion control devices are considered allowable if constructed according to the Rule and
properly noticed. The Division of Water Quality requires after the fact notification as described in
.0233(8) for both activities. The design and drainage area of the drainage ditches needs to be shown
along with calculations justifying the 30% reduction in nitrogen required in the Rule for an allowable
drainage ditch through the riparian buffer. If this reduction is not met, the drainage ditches would be
considered prohibited and abatement to the buffer would be required.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and be advised that the Washington Regional
Office is considering recommending that an enforcement action be pursued for these violations.
Please thoroughly address the above mentioned issues in your response and provide any additional
information that you wish to provide within fourteen (14) days. If you have any questions
regarding this Notice or need additional information you may contact Brad Shaver of this office at

Dear Sir:
On May 4, 2000, personnel of this office inspected a project
located on the east side of Trade Winds Road, along both sides of
Hurricane Court, north side of Wind Way, both sides of Great
Iguana Court and cleared areas (18 to 30 feet wide) in
preparation .for new drainage in Fairfield Harbour, in Craven
County, North Carolina. This inspection was performed to
determine compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act of 1973. The inspection revealed a land -
disturbing activity of approximately 3.4 acres being conducted.
It is our understanding that you and/or your firm are
responsible for this land -disturbing activity. The purpose of
this letter is to inform you that this activity was found -to be
in violation of the Act, NCGS 113A-50 to 66, and North Carolina
Administrative Code Title 15A, Chapter 4. If you feel that you
are not responsible for the following violation, please notify
this office immediately.
The violation found is:
a. Failure to file an erosion and sedimentation control
plan with this office at least 30 days prior to
beginning a land -disturbing activity on a tract
comprising more than one acre, when more than one acre
is to be uncovered; failure to secure this office's
prior approval of the plan for any land -disturbing
prior to beginning the land -disturbing activity. G.S.

A check of our files revealed that an erosion and
sedimentation control plan has not been submitted
for this project.
Three (3) copies of an acceptable erosion and
sedimentation control plan plus the appropriate non-
refundable plan review fee must be filed with and
approved by this office and implemented on the site
sufficient to prevent offsite sedimentation. Temporary
measures must be provided immediately to control
erosion and prevent sedimentation damage. Any
additional land -disturbing activities conducted without
an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will
constitute additional violations of the Act. We will
notify you _following our review of the plan if
additional measures are required.
The feeais payable by check or money order made payable
to the'Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR). The fee is calculated [in whole acre units]
using $30.00 for the first disturbed acre plus $20.00
for each additional full or fractional disturbed acre.
Please be advised that the statutory review period will
not begin until the appropriate fee is received.
In addition, a N.C. Stormwater Management Permit is required
for every project in a coastal county which requires a plan.
Attached is information on and an application for a
stormwater permit. Please mail one set of plans, the
Stormwater Application and permit fee to Mr. Bill Moore at
this address.
To correct this violation, you must WITHIN 10 DAYS OF
RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE OF VIOLATION submit an
approvable erosion and sedimentation control plan
addressing all swales that have been affected in the
past 6 months and are proposed to be constructed or
affected for the remainder of the drainage improvement
project.
Pursuant to NCGS 113A-61.1© and NCGS 113A-64 (a) (1), the
penalty for the initial violation could be an assessment of up to
$5,000.00 and a time period for compliance is not required for
enforcement of this violation . Therefore, the initial violation
is being referred to the Director, Division of Land Resources,
for enforcement. I urge you to correct this violation

immediately. Please be advised that if this violation is not
corrected by the deadline date, the Director, Division of Land
Resources, will be requested to take further appropriate legal
action against you pursuant to NCGS 113A-64. That action could
be the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $5000 per day for
each day of the violation. The penalty may be assessed from the
date of the violation (NCGS 113A-61(a)(1). If this violation is
corrected within the time period specified for compliance, no
further legal action will be pursued.
Please be advised that any new land -disturbing activity
associated with this project should not begin until the area
presently disturbed is brought into compliance with the Act.
When corrective actions are complete, you. should notify this
office so the work can be inspected. You should not assume that
the property is in compliance with the Act until we have notified
you. After installation, all erosion control measures must be
maintained in proper working order until development is complete
and the site is completely stabilized.
We solicit your cooperation and would like to avoid taking
further enforcement action. However, it is your responsibility
to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act.
Copies of the relevant statute and administrative regulations may
be examined at this office or, if requested, be sent to you.
