RE: RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE — CAMA VIOLATION #17-10A
Dear Mr. Griggs:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation #17-10A sent to you dated May 10,
2017 for unauthorized land disturbing activities greater than one acre, the placement of
fill material within USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands, dredging and filling within the
open waters of the Albemarle Sound and dredging a canal/basin that had filled and
naturalized to a wetland area. This activity took place in the Estuarine Shoreline,
Estuarine Waters and the Public Trust Area that are contiguous with the Albemarle
Sound. The violation took place on properties identified with Parcel ID #'s
0124000139M0000, 0124000137M0000 & 0124000137GO000 in or near Powells Point,
off Caratoke Highway (US-158), Currituck County, North Carolina.
This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to restore
USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands to the satisfaction of the USACE within the CAMA
Estuarine Shoreline AEC and that a letter from the USACE stating that restoration had
been completed be submitted to our office. In accordance with the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving
development which is inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of
Environmental Concern (AEC) must be corrected by restoring the project site to pre -
development conditions to recover lost resources or to prevent further resource
damage.
I conducted a site visit at the aforementioned property on October 26, 2017 with Doug
Dorman and Raleigh Bland of the USACE to inspect the restoration of the unauthorized
activity addressed in the Notice of Violation #17-10A. Based on this inspection and an
email received on October 27, 2017 from Raleigh Bland, it appears the restoration is
accomplished to the satisfaction of this Division. Upon my submission of an
enforcement report, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil penalty for
undertaking this unauthorized activity within an Area of Environmental concern.

This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated May 10, 2017 that Ron Renaldi, representative for
the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for unauthorized land disturbing activities greater than
one acre, the placement of fill material within USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands, dredging and filling within
the open waters of the Albemarle Sound and dredging a canal/basin that had filled and naturalized to a
wetland area. The violation took place on properties identified as Parcel ID#'s 0124000139M0000,
0124000137M0000 & 0124000137GO000 in or near Powells Point, off Caratoke Highway (US-158), Cumtuck
County. The violation involved the Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters and the Public Trust Area, which
are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the
site visit conducted on October 26, 2017 by Ron Renaldi, the restoration requested appears to be complete
to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management.
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 $6,252.00
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 $6,252.00 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 �ri11�1bgQ�IVED
opportunity to request a hearing on the penalty or request settlement of the penalty. i C E

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #17-10A
Dear Mr. Griggs:
This letter confirms that on May 9, 2017, a multi -agency meeting was held between you, your consultants
Doug Dorman, Bob Zarzecki and Ken Elliott and representatives from the US Army Corp. of Engineers, NC
Division of Water Resources, NC Division of Land Quality and the NC Division of Coastal Management onsite
properties that you manage on behalf of GB Investment Group, LLC. These properties are identified with
Parcel ID Vs 0124000139M0000, 0124000137M0000 & 0124000137GO000 and are located adjacent to the
Albemarle Sound in or near Powells Point, off Caratoke Highway (US-158), Currituck County, North Carolina.
The purpose of the visit was to investigate reports of unauthorized development and the placement of fill
material within wetland areas adjacent to the Albemarle Sound. This letter also confirms follow up email sent
and received on May 10, 2017.
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-1 18.
I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for unauthorized land
disturbing activities greater than one acre, the filling of USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands and Coastal
Wetlands (TBD), dredging within the open waters of the Albemarle Sound and dredging a canal/basin that
had filled and naturalized to a wetland area on the aforementioned properties. This activity took place in the
Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters, Coastal Wetland and the Public Trust Area that is contiguous with
the Albemarle Sound. The Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters, Coastal Wetland and the Public Trust Area
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.
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
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Coastal Management

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 (CRC) 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 is based on several
factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to
them.
You are also in violation of the State's Dredge and Fill Law which requires a permit from the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality before undertaking any excavating or filling in any estuarine waters,
tidelands, marshlands, or state-owned lakes pursuant to N.C.G.S. 113-229. Therefore, I also request that
you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such unauthorized activity. Violations of the State's Dredge and Fill
Act may be enforced by a criminal penalty or a civil action for damages or an injunction in accordance with
N.C.G.S.113-229.
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.
Pending further review of this matter, a determination will be made and you will be notified if restoration of
the impacted coastal resources is necessary. You will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment
for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s) and/or development that is
inconsistent with Coastal Resources Commission rules. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving
this important matter. If you have any questions, please call me at [phone].

This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation #17-10A sent to you dated May 10, 2017 for
unauthorized land disturbing activities greater than one acre, the placement of fill material within USACE
jurisdictional 404-wetlands, dredging within the open waters of the Albemarle Sound and dredging a
canal/basin that had filled and naturalized to a wetland area. This activity took place in the Estuarine

This unauthorized activity constituted development and due to the scope & magnitude of the violation, more
information was required before a restoration plan could be formulated. In accordance with the North
Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is
inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) must be
corrected by restoring the project site to pre -development conditions to recover lost resources or to prevent
further resource damage.
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 Environmental Quality. This requirement is imposed by North
Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18.
Through subsequent site visits conducted on May 16, 2017, June 8 ,2017 and August 21, 2017 with Doug
Dorman (agent & consultant), as well as reviewing 2017 aerial photography, it was determined that you
have undertaken or are legally responsible for the placement of t3,550 ft2 of fill material within the open
waters of the Albemarle Sound, the dredging of a t7,205 ft2 basin within 404-wetlands the lacem fill

These activities took place in the Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters and the Public Trust Area that are
contiguous with the Albemarle Sound. The Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters and the Public Trust
Area are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No CAMA permit was issued to you for
work in these areas.
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State Guidelines for Areas
of Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken, the placement of fill material within the open
waters of the Albemarle Sound, the dredging of a basin within 404-wetlands, the placement of fill material
within 404-wetlands, grading within 404-wetlands and grading non -wetland areas, are not consistent with
Section 15A NCAC 07J.0201 which states that every person or entity wishing to undertake any
development in an AEC shall obtain a permit from the Department.
Based on my site visits, the fill material placed within the open waters of the Albemarle Sound has washed
away and the vegetative root mat system is exposed and recovering. On September 5, 2017, our office
received a wetland restoration plan detailing the USACE 404-wetland impacts and areas to be restored.
This plan was found to be accepted by the USACE via an email received on September 13, 2017.
Therefore, I am requesting that restoration of 404-wetlands be completed to the satisfaction of the USACE
within the CAMA Estuarine Shoreline AEC and that a letter from the USACE stating that restoration is
complete be submitted to our office.
The enclosed Restoration Plan describes the action necessary to bring this project into compliance with the
Act. If you intend to cooperate with my request, please sign one of the attached Restoration Agreements
and return it to me in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter.
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.
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 completion of the restoration as requested
in the Restoration Plan Agreement to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management, you will be
notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the
proper permit(s) and/or development that is inconsistent with Coastal Resources Commission rules.

it is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a civil penalty plus investigative costs against all violations. 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. If restoration is not undertaken or satisfactorily completed, a substantially higher civil assessment
will be levied and an injunction sought to require restoration.

Dear Mr. Griggs:
This correspondence confirms the May 9, 2017, onsite meeting with Messrs. Raleigh Bland
and Josh Pelletier of my staff, your consultants Doug Dorman, Bob Zarzecki and Ken Elliott, and
representatives from the NC Division of Coastal Management, NC Division of Water Resources,
and the NC Division of Land Quality, on property you manage on behalf of GB Investment
Group, LLC., located off the Caratoke Highway (US-158) and Lucinda Lane, adjacent to the
Albemarle Sound, in or near Powells Point, in Currituck County, North Carolina. This
correspondence also confines the May 24, 2017, onsite meeting between Messrs. Bland,
Pelletier, and Dorman, and your subsequent telephone conversation with Mr. Bland. The purpose
of these meetings and telephone conversations was to address the unauthorized mechanized land
disturbing and filling activities you have undertaken within jurisdictional waters and wetlands on
the subject property and the ongoing efforts undertaken by your consultants to identify potentially
impacted resources subject to our Regulatory authority.
My staff s inspections revealed that you are responsible for the mechanized land disturbing
and filling activities within approximately 871,200 square feet (20-acres) of high quality
wetlands and navigable waters subject to our regulatory jurisdiction located immediately adjacent
to the Albemarle Sound. These activities, undertaken in navigable waters and waters of the
United States without the prior approval from this office in the form of a Department of the
Army (DA) permit, constitute violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311)
and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 USC 403). By copy of this letter, you
should cease and desist from any further unauthorized work within navigable waters and waters
of the United States, including wetlands.
In addition, upon the final review and confirmation of the delineation of the wetlands _ v E including but not limited to the impacted areas, to be prepared by your consultant,

perform all necessary restoration work, including the removal of all unauthorized fill material
and the re-establishment of pre -project elevations and contours within the impacted areas. The
restoration work must be completed within 30 days from the date of our confirmation of the
impacted wetland areas. My staff will work with you on these sensitive time and date
requirements.
Failure to comply with this request may result in referral of this matter to the United States
Attorney with a recommendation for appropriate action.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this matter and bringing the project site
into compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. If you have any questions, please
contact Mr. Bland at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, 2407 W. 5' Street, Washington,
