Ross, Jr., Secretary NOTICE OF VIOLATION 3 January 2005 CERTIFIED MAIL 7003 3110 0002 0603 1634 RETURN RECIEPT REQUESTED Mr. Jerry Armstrong Armstrong Land Development Post Office Box 32 Fairfield, North Carolina 27826 Dear Mr. Armstrong: s� u �1, 'Zo JAN 1 3 Z005 Morehead City DCM This. letter confirms that on 16 December 2004 I met your equipment operator, Colden Bowden, onsite property owned by Mr. Greg Avery located off SR 1303 on Lot 31 of the Waterway Landing Subdivision on the Alligator/Pungo cut of the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway near Belhaven, in Hyde County, North Carolina. The purpose of this onsite inspection was to investigate unauthorized clearing and grading on the aforementioned property. This letter also confirms our 16 December 2004 telephone conversation. Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that as contractor for Mr. Greg Avery you have undertaken major development 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 N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed by N. C. General Statute (herein abbreviated N. C. G. S.) 113A-118. Information I have indicates that you have undertaken or are legally responsible, for the unauthorized clearing and grading of approximately ±15,000 fit of Estuarine Shoreline. Estuarine Shoreline is defined in part, as the area extending landward from the normal water level along Estuarine Waters for a distance of 75'. Estuarine Shoreline is a designated Area of Environment Concern (AECs) and no permit was issued to you for development in this area. The clearing and grading of the Estuarine Shoreline was part of a project that included the overall clearing and grading of f 2.5 acres. Therefore, I conclude, that you are in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized activities within designated Areas of Environmental Concern. A civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development described in this notice is continued 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Phone: 252-946b181 1 FAX: 252.948-0478 1 Internet www.ncooastalmanagementnet/ _ S1ne Caro na 1VaaturJ7;P An Equal opportunity I Affirmative Action Employer —50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper r Mr. Jerry Armstrong Armstrong Land Development 3 January 2005 Page Two or repeated may constitute a separate violation which is subject to an additional assessment of up to $2,500. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation. N.C.G.S. 113A-126 It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment of $350 not to exceed $2,500 against all violations. 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 depends on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. Based upon N. C. Administrative Code, 7H. State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, the filling and grading activity you have undertaken within the Estuarine Shoreline is consistent with Section .0209 and could have been permitted through the CAMA Major Permit process. I have encouraged Mr. Avery to contact Ms. Allison Gresham with the Division of Land Resources in the Washington Regional Office, (252) 948-3862, reference further soil stabilization measures. I have also encouraged Mr. Avery to contact Mr. Tom Steffens or Kyle Barnes, at (252) 946-6481, reference the Tar/Pamlico River Basin Buffer Rule requirements. Based upon Subchapter 7J.0409(f)(4)(F)(ii) of the Administrative Code, it is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy civil assessments against contractors. Therefore, since this is your second notice of violation within the same Area of Environmental Concern, you should expect a civil assessment to be levied against you, as well as the property owner. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this matter. If you have any questions about this or related matters, please call me at (252) 948-3854. q Sincerely,, Steve J.
