RE. CAMA VIOLATION#05-44D

Dear Mr. Wagoner:
Morehead City DCM
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated May 25, 2005 that Connie Marlowe, (Cama) Local
Permit Officer, issued to you for unauthorized development at 1927 W. Sea Aire Canal SW, near Supply in
Brunswick County. The violation involved Estuarine Shoreline, which is in an area of Environmental
Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on June
6, 2005 by Jim Gregson, the restoration requested is complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal
Management.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $2,500 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 Resource Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $50.00 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 $50.00 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.

LFL Properties LLC (%Rick Ward)
95 Genoe's Court SW, Brunswick County
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State
Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken,
grading and placement of fill dirt in the Estuarine Shoreline AEC(s), is not consistent
with Section 15A NCAC 07J.201, which requires every person wishing to undertake any
development in an area of environmental concern to obtain a minor development permit
from the local permit officer unless such development is exempted by the Commission.
Therefore, I am requesting that a silt fence be installed at the top of the slope and the area
be stabilized.
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 court injunction being sought ordering compliance.
I, , agree to install a silt fence at the top of the slope and
stabilize the area.
I agree to complete this restoration to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal
Management by 17-Jun-05, or provide an explanation for non-compliance and a
reasonable request for time extension.

It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment $50.00 and higher against all

DEVELOPMENT CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #05-13V
Dear Mr. Wagoner:
This letter confirms that on 25-May-05, Connie Marlowe (CAMA Local Permit Officer) was
onsite at your property located at 1927 W. Sea Aire Canal SW, adjacent to Sea Aire Canal
located off SR 1236, in or near Supply, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The purpose of
the visit was to investigate unauthorized development of land disturbing activity [specifically,
grading and stump removal] within the Sea Aire Canal.
Information gathered by me 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.) I I3A-118.
I have information that you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor
development by grading and removing stumps on the aforementioned property. This activity
took place in the estuarine shoreline that is contiguous with the Sea Aire Canal. The
Estuarine Shoreline 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
Fifty Dollars ($50.00) 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
