CAMA VIOLATION#14-11D
Dear Mr. Sharma:

John E. Skvarta, III
Secretary
This letter confirms that on July 17, 2014, 1 was onsite at your property located at 144 West Third St. adjacent to Old
Sound Creek, in Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate an
unauthorized double jet -ski floating lift/platform placed within Old Sound Creek adjacent to your existing docking
facility.
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.) 11 3A-1 18.
I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of a double jet -ski
floating lift/platform measuring approximately 13 ft. in length by 8 ft. in width (130 sq. ft.) on the eastern side of the
existing floating dock on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in Estuarine Water and Public Trust
Areas that are contiguous with Old Sound Creek. Estuarine Water and Public Trust Areas are designated as Areas
of Environmental Concern (AEC). No CAMA permit was issued to you for installation of a floating lift/platform in
these Areas. Based on these findings, I am initiating 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 matter. A
civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative costs 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 $10,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation in
accordance with N.C.G.S.113A-126.
It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) to assess a civil penalty 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. The amount assessed will depend upon several factors, including the nature
and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. The relevant statutes and

resources is necessary. You will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for undertaking development

Secretary
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated July 18, 2014 that Tara MacPherson, representative for
the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for installation of a unauthorized double jet -ski floating
lift/platform at 144 West Third St in Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County. The violation involved Estuarine
Waters and Public Trust Area, which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources
Commission. Based upon receipt of a waiver of the 15 ft. riparian setback from the adjacent riparian property
owner to the east, which was received in this office on November 24, 2014, the restoration requested appears to
be complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management.
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 $436 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 $436 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.
