RE: RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE — CAMA VIOLATION #21-16A
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McDonald:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation # 21-16A sent to you dated August 2, 2021 for the unauthorized
construction of a 107' x 4' concrete walkway including a drainage system along an existing bulkhead within the
Estuarine Shoreline and Public Trust Shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). The violation took place on
your property located at 123 Camden Avenue adjacent to the Pasquotank River in Camden, Camden County, North
Carolina. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to cut the 4' wide concrete
walkway to a 2' wide concrete bulkhead cap, leaving five 2.5' x 2.75' concrete sections located at the existing drain
holes, thus removing ±180 ft2 of concrete from within the 30' AEC Buffer. The sections where concrete was removed
were to be revegetated with plant species or 3" diameter or larger cobblestone landscaping rocks. In accordance with
the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is
inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) must be corrected by
restoring the project site to pre -development conditions to recover lost resources or to prevent further resource damage.
I conducted a site visit at the aforementioned property on August 26, 2021 to inspect the restoration of the unauthorized
activity addressed in the Notice of Violation #21-16A. Based on this inspection, it appears the restoration is
accomplished to the satisfaction of this Division. Upon my submission of an enforcement report, you will be notified as
to the amount of the civil penalty for undertaking this unauthorized activity within an Area of Environmental Concern.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please
feel free to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
��

RE: CAMA VIOLATION #21-16A — CIVIL ASSESSMENT
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McDonald:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated August 2, 2021 that Sarah Loeffler, Field
Representative for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for the construction of a 107' x 4'
concrete walkway including a drainage system along an existing bulkhead at 123 Camden Avenue
adjacent to the Pasquotank River in Camden, Camden County. The violation involved the Estuarine
Shoreline and Public Trust Shoreline which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal
Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on August 26, 2021 by Sarah Loeffler, 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 $1,000 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 $414.00
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 $414.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ); 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 settlement of the penalty.
