The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate unauthorized development on the aforementioned property. Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that your actions as contractor for Mr. Tuttle are 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 pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for excavation, filling and grading for the installation of PVC drain piping associated with an on -site wastewater septic system on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the Estuarine Shoreline that is contiguous with Bogue Sound. In addition, alteration of the coastal wetland substrate was noted. The waters of Bogue Sound in this area are classified as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW). The Estuarine Shoreline and Coastal Wetland areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) and in this case the unauthorized development took place within 575' feet of the waters of Bogue Sound and within the 30' CAMA buffer. The unauthorized activity also took place in non -coastal Section 404 wetlands, 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. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081Internet: www.nocoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity I Aflbmative Action Employer- Made in part by recycled paper ■ Complete itbms 1, 2, and 3.

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 that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0409(g)(4)(E), the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission is to levy a civil assessment against contractors in addition to that assessed against the landowner. Therefore, you should expect a civil assessment to be levied against you. 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 immediate future to determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
