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.

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.
