Virginia Dare Trail, in Kill Devil Hills, 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 September 20, 2005 by Donna Elliott, the restoration requested is complete. The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $250.00 may be assessed for any minor 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 $100.00 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 $100.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR); 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. 1367 U.S.17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264-3901 \ FAX: 252-264-3723 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer -- 30% Recycled by Fiber Weight Tim J.

Hopefully, ary explanation will give you ■n undersbMiling of the situation_ Doling 2002 and 2003, the beach sand was constantly Mowing ieto our parking lot and was buildint up along the bulkhead(parking lot side). "ibis allowed vehicles, especially 4X4,'tn ride up on the sand and above the buried conesete barriers to get a better view of the ocean, it was 'lot long until the planks of the bulkhmd were being damaged from the contact of rite flint bumpers, with some breaking is two. Our ihiukiog wag this; if we just replaced those damaged boards, the vehicles would still be able to damage the bulkhead, and the sand was not going anywhere. So we built a wooden barrier in front of the bulkhead to protect it. The "reap' bulkhead, or the "erosion control" bulkhead is constructed of 20 ft planks with 15 ft buried in the sand. The wooden barner has 4 A planks flush to the ground. Its sole purpose was to protect our bulkhead, but it also provides a better aesthetic look than any altomativcs we came up with. We liken it to a fence. Nothing more, And Binoe it was west of the bulkhead, we thought it did not come under the CAMA umbrella. It appears we might be wrong. WI would like to be able to keep this barrier, as it has proven to be very effective in protecting the bulkhead. But if I need to tear it down, apply for a permit, end rebuild it, we will do so. Or, if it is not permissible, work with your of ct to determine a plan of action. Whatever you decide, iel me again apologize for making your job a little more difficult, Please c41 me on my cell phono(202-2208) to set up a time when I cam moot with you.

Post Office Box 348 Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina 27948 RFt NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT LAMA MINOR VIOLATION#05.18A Dear Mr. Lehman: In December of 2003, Lynn Mathis of the -Division of Coastal Management was onsite at the Avalon Pier located at 2111 N, Virginia Dare Trail, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, in the Town of Kill Devil Hills, In Dare County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate the unauthorized construction of an oceanfront bulkhead. On March 29, 2004, the Town of Kill Devil Hills notified Dare Resorts, Inc, that a violation existed on the property where the Avalon Pier is located. Information gathered by the Local Permit Officer and the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that Dare Resort, Inc. did Undertaken minor development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. No person may undertake minor development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Dcparirrient of Environment and Natural Resources, North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.GS.) 113A-118, I have Information that Dare Resort, Inc. is legally responsible for, minor development on the property by Constructing a new bulkhead landward (west) of an existing bulkhead, adjacent to the Avalon Pier parking lot, This activity took place in the Ocean Hazard Area that is contiguous with the Atlantic Ocean. The Ocean Hazard Area is designated as an Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No pemlit was issued to you for work in this area. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by Issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act A civil assessment of tip to $250 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development described in this Notice is continued or repeatod may constitute a separale violation that Is subject to an additional assessment of $250, An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation in accordance with N.C.133.113A-126, --- .^ w Fs•'` (252) 4M11.4102 l02.

July161, 2005 Page 2 of 3 It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $100,00 against all violations of this type, This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating the violation andlor 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 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. In 2003, a bulkhead was constructed on the east side of the Avalon Pier parking lot, within the Ocean Hazard Area. Based on the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H which prohibits the use of permanent erosion control structures such as bulkheads the structure must be removed. Please refer to the enclosed Restoration Agreement.

Failure to comply with this request or respond back to this office prior to the requested deadline with an acceptable schedule for compliance will be interpreted as a refusal to cooperate and will result in a Notice of Continuing Violation, as well as a court injunction being sought ordering compliance. 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 future to determine whether tttis request has been complied with. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter.
