RE: CAMA VIOLATION #15-16D
Dear Mr. Todd:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated September 17, 2015 that Connie Marlowe, Local
Permitting Officer for Brunswick County, issued to you for the unauthorized installation of a fence at 1750
Saltworks Lane SW, adjacent to Saucepan Creek, in the Town of Shallotte, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The violation involved the Estuarine Shoreline AEC, which is an Area of Environmental Concern designated by
the Coastal Resources Commission.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $1,000 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 Resources Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $200 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 $200 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.
If you do not send a signed agreement and payment to this office within ten (10) days, the Director of the Division
of Coastal Management will formally assess a civil penalty against you. You will then have the opportunity to
request a hearing on the penalty or request settlement of the penalty.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #15-16D
Dear Mr. Todd:
This letter confirms that on 11-Sep-15, I was onsite at your property located at 1750 Saltworks
Lane SW adjacent to Saucepan Creek located in or near the Town of Shallotte off Bricklanding
Road, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate
unauthorized development of a chain link fence within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of
Environmental Concern.
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.) 113A-118.
I have information that you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor development
by erecting a chain link fence on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the
Estuarine Shoreline AEC that is contiguous with the Saucepan Creek. Estaurine 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 $1,000 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 $1,000. 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 levy a civil assessment not to exceed
$1,000 plus investigative costs against all violations. 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
Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State
Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, the activity you have undertaken, installing a
chain link fence in the Estuarine Shoreline AEC(s), appears consistent with Section
7H.0209(d)(10)(C), which states "Within the Coastal Shoreline category (estuarine and public
trust shoreline AECs), new development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the
normal water level or normal high water level, with the exception of the following: (C) Post or
pile- supported fences. Therefore, I am not requesting restoration at this time.
I request that you contact me immediately about this matter. The relevant statute 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. Upon
submission of my enforcement report to the Division of Coastal Management, you will be
notified by the Division as to the amount of a civil assessment for undertaking development
without first obtaining the proper permit(s).
