Moffitt, Director July 10, 2001 CERTIFIED MAIL # 7000 1670 0005 7378 6072 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED JUI_ 13 2001 Mr. William Davis Davis Seafood, Inc. 155 Davis Lane Sneads Ferry, NC 28460 RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT CAMA VIOLATION # 01-46D Dear Mr. Davis: Information gathered by the Division of Coastal Management shows that you have undertaken Major Development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake Major Development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission. North Carolina General Statutes (hereinafter abbreviated NCGS 113A-118). I have information that you have undertaken Major Development by: 1) The placement of rock and fill material within coastal wetlands, in an area approximately 10 feet wide by approximately 100 feet long, adjacent to the New River, at property located adjacent to Davis Seafood, Inc., at 155 Davis Lane, in Sneads Ferry, in Onslow County. 2) The construction of a commercial pier, 167 feet long by 8 feet wide into the New River, at Davis Seafood, Inc. 3) The construction of a dock parallel to the shoreline approximately 8 feet wide by 40 feet long, at Davis Seafood, Inc. 4) The construction of a concrete slab, 3-9 feet wide by 48 feet long, within 30 feet of normal high water; at Davis Seafood, Inc. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr. William Davis July 10, 2001 Page Two 5) The placement of heavy construction equipment in coastal wetlands, resulting in damage to the marsh in an area approximately 10' wide by 100' long, adjacent to above mentioned pier, at Davis Seafood, Inc. 6) The placement of rip rap within coastal wetlands, adjacent to an unnamed tributary to the New River, in an area approximately 3 feet wide by 49 feet long, located across Davis Lane from Davis Seafood, Inc. 7) The placement of fill in coastal wetlands, adjacent to an unnamed tributary to the New River, in an area approximately 70 feet long by approximately 3 feet wide„ located across Davis ;Lane from Davis Seafood, Inc. 8) The unauthorized excavation in an unnamed tributary to the new river in an area approximately 400 feet long by approximately 30 feet wide, located across Davis Lane from Davis Seafood, Inc. This development is being undertaken within Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas and Coastal Shoreline, designated Areas of Environmental Concern, and no permit has been issued for it. Therefore, I have concluded that you are in violation of the permit requirement of the Coastal Area Management Act. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about this matter. A civil assessment of up to $2500.00 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation which is subject to an additional assessment of $2500.00. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation. NCGS 113A-126. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of Three Hundred Fifty Dollars ($350.00) 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 which were 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. Mr. William Davis July 10, 2001 Page Three The enclosed Restoration Plan describes the action necessary to bring this project into compliance with the Act. Provided you intend to cooperate with my request to: 1) Remove all fill material from Coastal Wetlands and stabilize all disturbed areas with vegetation and straw. 2) Remove new concrete areas within the 30' buffer area. 3) Provide detailed information concerning past dredging activities at this site, including: dates; amounts of material removed; location of dredged material disposal areas; pre and post dredging water depths; and scale drawings indicating the exact dimensions of excavated areas. 4) In order for this office to review the possibility of allowing the pier structure to remain in place, you must first submit to this Office confirmation that a written statement has been obtained, signed by the adjacent riparian property owners indicating that they have no objection to the pier additions remaining in place, or provide to this Office confirmation that the adjacent riparian property owners have been notified by certified mail of your intent to keep the pier in place. This notice should instruct the adjacent riparian property owners to notify this Office in writing of any comments they should have regarding the structure within 10 days of receipt of the notice. Indicate to the adjacent riparian property owners that no response will be interpreted as no objection. Please sign one of the attached restoration forms and return it to me in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope. No response from you within ten. (10) days of receipt of this letter will be interpreted as a refusal to cooperate and result in a Notice of continuing violation and a court order will be sought ordering restoration. You are also in violation of the State's Dredge and Fill Act which requires a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources before undertaking any excavating or filling in any estuarine waters, tidelands, marshlands, or state-owned lake. NCGS 113-229. The activity that you have undertaken in conjunction with the above described Major Development is also being undertaken without a permit from this Department. Therefore, I also request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such unauthorized activity and contact me about this matter as well. Violations of the State's Dredge and Fill Act may be enforced by a criminal penalty or a civil action for damages or an injunction. NCGS 113-229. Mr. William Davis July 10, 2001 Page Four 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. Once again, I request that you contact me immediately about these matters. Enclosures ccigplCharles S.
