RE. STOP WORK ORDER AND NOTICE OF FAILURE TO APRLY FOR PERMIT MODIFICATION
CASE #14-03B
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
This letter confirms that on 13 February 2014, you and I were onsite your property at the Quarterdeck
located at 503 Carteret Street adjacent to Back Creek located in the Town of Bath, Beaufort County, North
Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized construction of steps to access the roof of the
Quarterdeck within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern.
Information gathered by me shows that you are undertaking mayor development and no CAMA Major
Development Permit, or in this case a permit modification of Major CAMA Permit No. 13-11, is issued for this
development activity. No person may undertake major development in a designated Area of Environmental
Concern without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118.
I have information that you are undertaking, or are legally responsible for, major development by
constructing steps to access the roof of the Quarterdeck on the aforementioned property. This activity is taking
place in the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern that is contiguous with Back Creek. Coastal
Shoreline is designated as Area(s) of Environmental Concern (AEC).
You are hereby requested to STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY and file the necessary application with
this office for a CAMA permit modification by 12 March 2014. NO WORK MAY PROCEED UNTIL THE
PERMIT OR MODIFICAITON IS ISSUED. If you comply voluntarily, no further action will be necessary
beyond the issuance of a permit.
