RE:RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE — CAMA VIOLATION #05.07 D Morehead City DCM
Dear Mr. Cockrum:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation # 05-07 D, sent to you dated February 16, 2005 for the
unauthorized fill in wetlands, within the Coastal Shoreline AEC, adjacent to Mill Creek, in Fender County.
The violation took place on your property located at 115 Waters Edge Drive, near the community of
Hampstead, in Pender County, North Carolina. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you
were requested to remove the fill material from the delineated wetland area, as approved by the US Army
Corps of Engineers on 11/26/02, Action ID# 200300121. In accordance with the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is
inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) must be
corrected by restoring the project site to pre -development conditions to recover lost resources or to prevent
further resource damage.
I conducted a site visit at the aforementioned property on February 22, 2005, to inspect the restoration of
the unauthorized activity addressed in the Notice of Violation 05-07 D. Based on this inspection; it appears
the restoration is accomplished to the satisfaction of this Division. Upon my submission of an enforcement
report, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil penalty for undertaking this unauthorized activity
within a designated Area of Environmental Concern.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions pertaining to this
matter, please feel free to call me at [phone].

RE:NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #05.07-D
Dear Mr. Cockrum:
This letter confirms that on February 15, 2005, Gale Stenberg and Ed Brooks, Division of Coastal
Management Field Representatives, were onsite at your property located at 115 Waters Edge Drive, Lot 15
Waters Edge Subdivision, adjacent to Mill Creek, in Pender County, North Carolina. The purpose of the
visit was to investigate the unauthorized filling of wetlands within the Coastal Shoreline Area of
Environmental Concern.
Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that 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 North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed
by North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118.
I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for the unauthorized filling
of wetlands within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. No CAMA permit 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.
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 or repeated may constitute a separate
violation that 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 $100 not to
exceed $2,500 against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations
andlor 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 the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State Guidelines for Areas
of Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken is not consistent with Section .0601, which
states that "No development shall be allowed in any AEC which would result in a contravention or violation
of any rules, regulations, or laws of the State of North Carolina or of local government in which the
development takes place.' and Subchapter 07J. Section .0201, which requires that "...every person wishing
to undertake any development in an area of environmental concern shall obtain a permit from the
Department, in the case of a major development..:'. Therefore, I am requesting that the fill material be
removed from the delineated wetland area, as approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers on 11/26/02,
Action ID# 200300121. Please refer to the enclosed Restoration Agreement.
If you intend to cooperate with my request, please sign one of the attached Restoration Agreements and
return it to me in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter. 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 near 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. If you have any questions about
this or related matters, please call me at [phone]. Upon completion of the restoration as requested
in the Restoration Plan Agreement to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management, you will be
notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the
proper permit(s) and/or development that is inconsistent with Coastal Resources Commission rules.
