RE: CAMA VIOLATION #21-02A
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Little:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated February 9, 2021 that J. E. "Ed" Snyder,
Code Compliance and Local Permit Officer for the Town of Nags Head, issued to you for the
unauthorized removal of the vegetated frontal dune at 9327 8 E. Olympic Street in Nags Head,
Dare County. The violation involved the Ocean Erodible Area, which is an Area of Environmental
Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted
on February 24, 2021 by Mr. Snyder, 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 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
$500 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 $500 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.
