Dear Mr. Styron:
This letter is in reference to our on site visit on May 24, 2007 with Sharon Hunter at 143 Loblolly Drive in
Pine Knoll Shores, Carteret County North Carolina. The purpose of the onsite meeting was to investigate
unauthorized development on the aforementioned property in the Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
This letter also references an office meeting with John W. Hunter, husband of the property owner on May
24, 2007.
Information gathered by me indicates that your actions as contractor for Sharon Hunter are in violation of
the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake minor 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 you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor development by
conducting land disturbing activities on the aforementioned property. This activity took place adjacent to
Pine Knoll Shores waterway that is contiguous with Bogue Sound. The above referenced lot is designated
as an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
You are hereby requested to STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY and file the necessary application with this
office for a CAMA Minor Development Permit. NO WORK MAY PROCEED UNTIL THE PERMIT IS
ISSUED. A civil assessment of up to $250 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 $250. 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 minimum civil penalty of $100.00 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
damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested, but is not undl
satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injui
ordering restoration.
the extent of the

i will be sought
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0409(f)(5)( )(ii), the policy of
the Coastal Resources Commission is to levy a civil assesssrnen against contractors in addition to that
assessed against the landowner. Therefore, since this is yo third otice of CAMA Violation in the same
Area of Environmental Concern, you should expect a civil assessment to be levied againstlyou.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. The reWant 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 tliis STOP WORK
ORDER has been complied with. I request that you contact me immediately about these important matters.
