RE: CAMA VIOLATION #10-41D
Dear Mr. Clark:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated October 1, 2010 that Donna Coleman, Local Permit
Officer for the Town of Oak Island, issued to you for unauthorized extension of a deck at 125 SW 12th Street,
Brunswick County due to your actions as contractor for Mr. David Rickman. The violation involved the Estuarine
Shoreline AEC, which is an Area of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 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 $200 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 $200 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.
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.

RE. NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #10 - 41 D
Dear Mr. Clark:
This letter is in reference to the 913012010 site visit onsite of Mr. David Rickman's property at 125
SIN I P Street, in Oak Island, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite visit was to investigate
unauthorized development on the aforementioned property in the Coastal Shoreline Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC).
Information gathered by me shows that your actions as contractor for Mr. David Rickman are in violation of
the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake minor 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.) 11 3A-1 18.
I have information that you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor development by
extending the canal side deck on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the coastal
shoreline that is contiguous with Davis Canal. Coastal Shoreline areas are designated as Areas of
Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this area. Based on these findings,
I am initialing an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area
Management Act
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this
important matter. A civil assessment of up to $1,000 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that
the development described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation that
is subject to an additional assessment of $1,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to
enforce any violation in accordance with N.C.G.S. 11 3A-1 26.
It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a civil assessment not to exceed $1,000 plus

investigative costs against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating the
violation and/or 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.
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0409(g)(5)(E), the policy of
the Coastal Resources Commission is to levy a civil assessment against contractors in addition to that
assessed against the landowner. Therefore, you should expect a civil assessment to be levied against you
by the Division of Coastal Management.
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 immediate future to
determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. I request that you
contact me immediately.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. Upon submission of my
enforcement report to the Division of Coastal Management, you will be notified by the Division as to the
amount of a civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s).
Sincerely, y r
