RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #14-15A
Dear Mr. Nguyen & Ms. Mann:
This letter confirms that on May 27, 2014 and July 28, 2014, 1 was onsite at your property located at 204
Parker Road (SR#1370) adjacent to Knotts Island Bay located in or near Knotts Island, Curdtuck County,
North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development of a platform within
the waters of Knotts Island Bay as well as a brick patio constructed within 75' of Normal Water Level
(NWL). This letter also confirms phone conversations between me and your property caretaker Mari Mann
on June 6, 2014 and again on July 17, 2014.
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 the construction of a
14'x3' platform on the aforementioned property. Also, in reviewing aerial photography, it was discovered
that a ±36'x24' back patio was partially constructed within 75' of NWL. A permit search found no record of a
CAMA Minor Permit issued for the patio. This activity took place in the Public Trust Area, Estuarine
Shoreline and Estuarine Waters that are contiguous with Knotts Island Bay. The Public Trust Area,
Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC).
No CAMA permit was issued to you for work in these areas. Based on these findings, I am initiating an
enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act
and the State's Dredge and Fill Law.

I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further 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,
Ron Renaldi
Coastal Management Representative

RE. CAMA VIOLATION #14-15A
Dear Mr. Nguyen & Ms. Mann:
John E. Skvada, III
Secretary
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated July 28, 2014 that Ron Renaldi, representative for the
Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for a platform within the waters of Knotts Island Bay and a brick
patio constructed within 75' of Normal Water Level (NWL) at 204 Parker Road (SR#1370), Cumtuck County. The
violation involved the Public Trust Area, Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Waters, which are Areas of
Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative costs 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 Resources Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $527.00 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 $527.00 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 settlement of the penalty.
