The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development involving the placement of unconsolidated fill within the 75' Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. This also confirms our conversation regarding the matter on the same day in the Division of Coastal Management office in Elizabeth City. Information gathered by me shows that minor development has been undertaken and no CAMA Minor Development Permit has been issued for this development activity. 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 placing or allowing the placement of unconsolidated dirt fill on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the Estuarine Shoreline that is contiguous with the Albemarle Sound. Estuarine Shoreline areas are designated as an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). You are hereby requested to STOP ANY FUTHER UNAUTHORIED WORK IMMEDIATELY and file the necessary application with this office for a CAMA Minor Development Permit by June 5, 2015. NO WORK MAY PROCEED UNTIL THE PERMIT IS ISSUED. If you comply voluntarily, no further action will be necessary beyond the issuance of a permit. Failure to file an application or continuation of work after receipt of this Notice may constitute a violation of the Act and you may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties as provided by North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 11 3A-1 26. 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 NCGS 113A-126.

However, if they or anyone else continue to violate the Coastal Area Management Act at this site, you should consider them as having been forewarned and expect a civil assessment to be levied against consistent with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J, Section .0409, as adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of the law. A site inspection will be made in the near future to determine whether this STOP WORK ORDER has been complied with. I request that you contact me immediately about these important matters.
