AEC HAzARD NOTICE Project Is In An: Ocean Erodible Area_ High Hazard Flood Area Date Lot Was Platted: This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware of the special risks and conditions associated with development in this area, which is subject to natural hazards such as storms, erosion and currents. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission require that you receive an AEC Hazard Notice and acknowledge that notice in writing before a permit for development can be issued. The Commission's rules onbuildingstandards, oceanfront setbacks and dune alteration are designed to min im i ze, but not eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of the development and assumes no liability for future damage to the development. The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal Resources Commission, indicates that the annual ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is located is feet per year. The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs of the coastline taken over the past 50 years. Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as _ feet landward in a major storm. The flood waters in amajor storm are predicted to be about feet deep in this area. Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion control structures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary devices, induding sand bags, may Fan be allowed under rercmidiHnne structure shall be relocated or dismantled within two of becoming imminently threatened.

Permits issued for developmentin this area expire on December 31 of the third year following the year . which the permit was issued. Shortly before work begins on the project site, the Local Permit Officer will determine the vegetation line and setback distance at your site. If the property has seen little change and the proposed development can still meet the setback requirement, the LPO will inform you that you may begin work'. It is impor- tant that you check with the LPO before the permit expires for official approval to continue the work after the permit has expired. Generally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit renewal may not be necessary. If substantial progress has not been made, the permit must be renewed and a new setback line established. It is unlawful to continue work after permit expiration without this approval.

The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized relocation of a septic system on your lot within the Ocean Hazard Area, which is an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Information gathered by the NC Division of Coastal Management 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 relocating the septic system on the aforementioned property. This activity took place within the Ocean Hazard Area that is contiguous with the Atlantic Ocean, which is an Area of Environmental Concern. 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 Vwlatfon for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $50 against all violations of this type. 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. 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. 1367 U.S.17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264.3901 \ FAX: 252.264-3723 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 30% Recycled by Fiber Weight J David Rayl March 25, 2004 Page 2 The. activity undertaken has been found to be consistent with the Division's standards and could have been permitted if you had signed certain required documents.

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 a court injunction being sought ordering compliance.
