VIOLATION(S) OF CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 49177 CAMA VIOLATION #08-53D Dear Mr. Moeller: This letter is in reference to our September 4, 2008 visit onsite Mr. Charles Yopp property, adjacent to Everett Creek located in or near Sneads Ferry, off Hwy 172, Onslow County, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate the unauthorized increase of the permitted bulkhead length adjacent to the bulkhead within Everett's Creek on the aforementioned property. This letter also references our initial July 9, 2008 site visit to conduct routine monitoring for General Permit number 49177. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Charles Yopp violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 49177 which was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of 538 linear feet of bulkhead with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively on the aforementioned property. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. On December 28, 2007, State Permit No. 49177 was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp for installation of 500 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead within Everett's Creek on property located in Onslow County, North Carolina, off Hwy 172. This permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in the Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions(s): 1. The permitted bulkhead shall not exceed 500 linear feet.

If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. 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 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. 11 3A-1 26. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a civil assessment not to exceed $10,000, plus investigative costs against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. The amount 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 7J.0409(g)(4)(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. 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.

This letter is in reference to our September 4, 2008 visit onsite at Mr. Charles Yopp's property, adjacent to Everett Creek located in or near Sneads Ferry, off Hwy 172, Onslow County, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate the unauthorized increase of the permitted bulkhead length adjacent to the bulkhead within Everett's Creek on the aforementioned property. This letter also references our initial July 9, 2008 site visit to conduct routine monitoring for General Permit number 49177, Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Charles Yopp violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 49177 which was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of 538 linear feet of bulkhead with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively on the aforementioned property. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. On December 28, 2007, State Permit No. 49177 was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp for installation of 500 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead within Everett's Creek on property located in Onslow County, North Carolina, off Hwy 172. This permit was issued for a CAMA Minor Development in the Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18. This permit included the following terms and conditions(s): 1. The permitted bulkhead shall not exceed 500 linear feet. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions(s) of the permit: 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: (910) 796-72151 FAX: 910-395-39641 Internet: www.nccoastaimanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Moeller January 7, 2009 Page 2 of 2 1. The installed bulkhead measures 538 feet with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this matter. A civil assessment of up to $1,000 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 $1,000. 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 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. 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. 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 about these important matters. Sincerely, Tara Croft Compliance and Enforcement Representative Cc: Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director, DCM Steven H.

Ross Jr., Secretary RE. VIOLATION(S) OF CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 49177 CAMA VIOLATION #08-53D Dear Mr. Mueller: Please be advised this Notice of Violation takes precedence over the previous Notice dated September 17, 2008. This letter is in reference to our September 4, 2008 visit onsite at Mr. Charles Yopp's property, adjacent to Everett Creek located in or near Sneads Ferry, off Hwy 172, Onslow County, "North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate the unauthorized increase of the permitted bulkhead length adjacent to the bulkhead within Everett's Creek on the aforementioned property. This letter also references our initial July 9, 2008 site visit to conduct routine monitoring for General Permit number 49177. 11 Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Charles Yopp violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 49177 which was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of 538 linear feet of bulkhead with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively on the aforementioned property. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. On December 28, 2007, State Permit No. 49177 was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp for installation of 500 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead within Everett's Creek on property located in Onslow County, North Carolina, off Hwy 172. This permit was issued for a CAMA Minor Development in the Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18. This permit included the following terms and conditions(s): 1. The permitted bulkhead shall not exceed 500 linear feet. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions(s) of the permit: 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: (910) 796-72151 FAX: 910-395-39641 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Moeller January 7, 2009 Page 2 of 2 1. The installed bulkhead measures 538 feet with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this matter. A civil assessment of up to $1,000 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 $1,000. 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 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. 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. 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 about these important matters. Sincerely Tara Croft Compliance and Enforcement Representative Cc: Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director, DCM Steven H.

This letter is in reference to our September 4, 2008 visit onsite at Mr. Charles Yopp's property, adjacent to Everett Creek located in or near Sneads Ferry, off Hwy 172, Onslow County, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate the unauthorized increase of the permitted bulkhead length adjacent to the bulkhead within Everett's Creek on the aforementioned property. This letter also references our initial July 9, 2008 site visit to conduct routine monitoring for General Permit number 49177. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Charles Yopp violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 49177 which was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of 538 linear feet of bulkhead with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively on the aforementioned property. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. On December 28, 2007, State Permit No. 49177 was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp for installation of 500 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead within Everett's Creek on property located in Onslow County, North Carolina, off Hwy 172. This permit was issued for a CAMA Minor Development in the Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions(s): 1. The permitted bulkhead shall not exceed 500 linear feet. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions(s) of the permit: 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: (910) 796-7215\ FAX: 910-395-3964 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Moeller January 7, 2009 Page 2 of 2 1. The installed bulkhead measures 538 feet with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this matter. A civil assessment of up to $1,000 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 $1,000. 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 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. 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. 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 about these important matters. Sincerely, aF F Tara Croft Compliance and Enforcement Representative Cc: Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director, DCM Steven H.

September 17, 2008 CERTIFIED MAIL 70081140 0002 9559 0922 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED �ky� -J Hammerhead Marine Construction t ou o, C/o Peter Moeller 111 Fullard Drive Sneads Ferry, NC 28460 - B Sip � 8 2n� morenead c►ty Ucom RE: VIOLATION(S) OF CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 49177 CAMA VIOLATION#08-53D Dear Mr. Moeller: This letter is in reference to our September 4, 2008 visit onsite Mr. Charles Yopp property, adjacent to Everett Creek located in or near Sneads Ferry, off Hwy 172, Onslow County, North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate the unauthorized increase of the permitted bulkhead length adjacent to the bulkhead within Everett's Creek on the aforementioned property. This letter also references our initial July 9, 2008 site visit to conduct routine monitoring for General Permit number 49177. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Charles Yopp violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 49177 which was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for installation of 538 linear feet of bulkhead with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively on the aforementioned property. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. On December 28, 2007, State Permit No. 49177 was issued to Mr. Charles Yopp for installation of 500 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead within Everett's Creek on property located in Onslow County, North Carolina, off Hwy 172. This permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in the Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions(s): 1. The permitted bulkhead shall not exceed 500 linear feet. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions(s) of the permit: 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: (910) 796-7215\ FAX: 910-395-3964 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Moeller September 17, 2008 Page 2 of 2 1. The installed bulkhead measures 538 feet with two wing walls measuring 8.5 feet and 10 feet respectively. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit becomes null and void from the date of its issuance. 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 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 to levy a civil assessment not to exceed $10,000, plus investigative costs against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. The amount 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 7J.0409(g)(4)(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. 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 about these important matters. Sincerely, — � (a& — Tara Croft Compliance and Enforcement Representative Cc: Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director, DCM Steven H.
