The violation took place on your property located at 4130 Daught Road SW off of Village Point Road (SR 1145) in or near Shallotte in Brunswick County, North Carolina. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to install a silt fence along the edge of the property lines, specifically, 1765 Village Point Road SW and 4012 Daught Road SW. In accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is inconsistent with guidelines for development with 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 25-Aug-05 to inspect the restoration of the unauthorized activity addressed in the Notice of Violation 05-46D. Based on this inspection, it has been determined that the restoration appears to have been 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 an 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 910.253.2034.

The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development of land disturbing activity [specifically, grading and fill dirt] within the Shallotte River. Information gathered by me shows that you have 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 Department of Environment and Natural Resources, North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. I have information that you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor development by grading and placing fill dirt on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the estuarine shoreline that is contiguous with the Shallotte River. The Estuarine 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 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 important matter. A civil assessment of up to $250 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 $250. 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 to assess a minimum civil penalty of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the TELEPHONE (910) 253.2025 • (800) 621.0609 • FAX (910) 253.2437 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. 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. 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 my submission of an enforcement report to the District Manager, you will,be notified as to the amount of a civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s).

State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken, grading and placement of fill dirt in the Estuarine Shoreline AEC(s), is not consistent with Section 15A NCAC 07J.201, which requires every person wishing to undertake any development in an area of environmental concern to obtain a minor development permit from the local permit officer unless such development is exempted by the Commission. Therefore, I am requesting the following: (1) install a silt fence along the edge of the property lines, specifically, 1765 Village Point Road SW and 4102 Daught Road SW and stabilize the area; and (2) secure the appropriate permits (i.e., Stormwater Permit) from all County Departments. 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 court injunction being sought ordering compliance. I, , agree to install a silt fence along the edge of the property lines, specifically, 1765 Village Point Road SW and 4102 Daught Road SW and stabilize the area; and (2) secure the appropriate permits (i.e., Stormwater Permit) from all County Departments. I agree to complete this restoration to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management by 29-Jul-05, or provide an explanation for non-compliance and a reasonable request for time extension. Signature: Date: It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment $50.00 and higher against all violations of this type depending upon the damage to the resources. If restoration is not undertaken or satisfactorily completed, a substantially higher civil assessment will be levied and an injunction sought to require restoration.
