RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #14-17A
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Saunders:
This letter confirms that on July 14, 2014,1 met with you on Lot #2 adjacent to your dwelling at 112
Bowketcher, located adjacent to the Little River, in or near the community of New Hope, in
Perquimans County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized
development involving the clearing, filling and grading of an area greater than 2 acres on lot #2.
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 clearing and
grading more than two acres on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the
Estuarine Shoreline which is contiguous with the Little River. The Estuarine Shoreline AEC is
designated as an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). 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 Act.
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized development. 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 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 review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules,
and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the activity you have undertaken appears consistent with
the guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is
not requested at this time.
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 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).
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.
Sincerely,
Lynn W. Mathis

RE: CAMA VIOLATION #14.17A
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Saunders:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated July 23, 2014, that Lynn Mathis, Field Specialist forthe
Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for unauthorized development involving the clearing, filling and
grading of an area greater than 2 acres on State Road 1464, lot #2, Bowketcher Boulevard in Perquimans
County. The violation involved Estuarine Shoreline, which is an Area of Environmental Concern designated by
the Coastal Resources Commission. The development undertaken was consistent with the Division's rules and
as such, no restoration was requested.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000.00 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 Resource Commission, a civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 plus
investigation costs $54.00 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 $554.00 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 remission of the penalty.
