RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #1 7-26A
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Peel:
This letter confirms that on October 3, 2017, 1 was adjacent to your property located at 1525 Rivershore Road in
Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate the unauthorized installation of a boat
ramp adjacent to, and over, the Pasquotank River.
Information gathered for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that major development was undertaken
in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person, organization or corporation may undertake
Major Development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit from
the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. This requirement is imposed by North Carolina General
Statute (N.C.G.S.)113A-118.
I have information that you did undertaken, or are legally responsible for the construction and installation of a ramp
over a riprap alignment for the purpose of storing and off-loading a vessel into the Pasquotank River. This activity
took place in Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Waters which are designated as Areas of
Environmental Concern (AEC), and subject to the permitting requirements of the CAMA. Based on a finding that
no permit was issued for the ramp, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation.
I am requesting that you CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized development. A civil assessment plus
investigative costs may be assessed against any violator, any violator. Each day that the development described
in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation and may be subject to additional
assessments. 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 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. You will be notified as to the amount of
the civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permiR ECEIVED

In accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A NCAC O7J .0201: "After March 1, 1978,
every person wishing to undertake development in an area of environmental concern shall obtain a permit from
the Department, in the case of a major development or dredge and fill permit, or from the local permit officer, in
the case of a minor development permit, unless such development is exempted by the Commission". Based upon
review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's
Land Use Plan, while you failed to obtain the required permit, the activity undertaken appears consistent with the
Division's Rules and could have been authorized through the CAMA Major Permit process. Therefore, restoration
of the impacted area is not requested.
If you have any questions about this or related matters, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].

RE: CANA VIOLATION 917-26A
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Peel:

BRAXTON DAVIS
Director
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated October 4, 2017, that Lynn Mathis, representative
for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for the unauthorized placement of a boat ramp
adjacent to, and over, the Pasquotank River, at 1525 Rivershore Road, in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
The violation involved the Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Waters, which are Areas
of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. The activity undertaken
appears consistent with the Division's Rules and could have been authorized through the CAMA General
Permit process. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area was not requested.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000.00 plus investigative
costs may be assessed for any major 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 $432.00
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 $432.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ); 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.
