RE:RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE — CAMA VIOLATION #05-20C
Dear Mr. Cooper:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation # 05-20C sent to you dated June 7, 2005 for the breech
of the dune within the Ocean Hazard Area in or near the Atlantic Ocean. The violation took place on your
property located at the end of Wilson Street off of West Fort Macon Road, in or near the Town of Atlantic
Beach in Carteret County, North Carolina. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were
requested to return the dune to its original grade and contour. 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 June 15, 2005 to inspect the restoration of the
unauthorized activity addressed in the Notice of Violation #05-20C. Based on this inspection, 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.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions pertaining to this
matter, please feel free to call me at 808-2808.

Dear Mr. Cooper:

This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated 6107/05 that Mark Hardeman sent to you on behalf of
the Division of Coastal Management. The Notice was for unauthorized dune excavation, adjacent to the waters
of the Atlantic Ocean, in Atlantic Beach, NC. The violation involved the Ocean Erodible Area of Environmental
Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon Mr. Hardeman's site visit on 6/15/05,
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 $250.00 may be assessed for any
violation of this type. 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 Resource Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $100.00 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 $100.00 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.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #05 — 20 C
Dear Mr. Cooper:
This letter confirms that on June 3, 2005, Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director and I were onsite at your property
located at the end of Wilson St. adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean located in or near the Town of Atlantic Beach, off
West Fort Macon Rd., Carteret County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized
dune alteration involving their recent stormwater pumping activity. This site visit followed an earlier visit I had
that morning with Mark Schultz.
Information gathered by the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have undertaken minor
development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. 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 having the
Town Public Works excavate the dune with shovels and a backhoe to facilitate the drainage on the
aforementioned property. This activity took place in Ocean Hazard AEC that is contiguous with the Atlantic
Ocean. Ocean Hazard Areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued
to you for work in this area. 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 and contact me about this
important matter. 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 and the extent of the

damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested, but is not undertaken or completed
satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering
restoration.
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State Guidelines for Areas of
Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken, dune alteration in the Ocean Hazard AEC, is not
consistent with Section 7H .0306(b), which states that no development that weakens a primary or frontal dune
due to removal or relocation will be allowed. Therefore, I am requesting that restoration involving returning the
dune to its pre -development state including elevation, profile, and planting of appropriate dune vegetation (i.e.,
Carolina Beach Grass, Sea Oats. etc) be completed. Please refer to the enclosed Restoration Agreement. It is
our understanding after talking with Mark Schultz that restorative action is in progress and might possibly be
completed today (6/7/05).
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.
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. I request that you contact me
immediately.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. 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.
Sincerely,
Coastal Management Representative

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

P. 0. Box 10
Atlantic Beach, NC, 28512
June 7, 2005
RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #05 — 20 C
Dear Mr. Cooper:
This letter confirms that on June 3, 2005, Ted Tyndall, Assistant Director and I were onsite at your property
located at the end of Wilson St. adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean located in or near the Town of Atlantic Beach, off
West Fort Macon Rd., Carteret County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized
dune alteration involving their recent stormwater pumping activity. This site visit followed an earlier visit I had
that morning with Mark Schultz.
Information gathered by the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have undertaken minor
development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. 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 having the
Town Public Works excavate the dune with shovels and a backhoe to facilitate the drainage on the
aforementioned property. This activity took place in Ocean Hazard AEC that is contiguous with the Atlantic
Ocean. Ocean Hazard Areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued
to you for work in this area. 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 and contact me about this
important matter. 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 ail
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 and the extent of the
