Box 249 75 Courthouse Drive N.E., Bldg I Bolivia, NC 28422 NOTICE OF VIOLATION 25-May-05 Bruce D Wagoner 3613 Richwood Circle Kannapolis NC 28081 RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC MAY 81 2005 RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED 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 TELEPHONE (910) 253.2025 • (800) 621.0609 • FAX (910) 253.2437 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. 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 my submission of an enforcement report to the District Manager, you will be notified as to the amount of a civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s).
