This large fine would create a hardship I am likely to not rebound from and I want to be treated like everyone else. I became compliant and a SMA permit was issued. The delayed fines could have and should have been erased and a letter sent, as has been to for others in the past. I just want fair and equal treatment. Selective enforcement seems to have possibly happened here, intentional or not. am also appealing the $10,000 fine on the 3rd notice and the 3rd NOVO itself. The SHPD stipulation on the SMA permit should have never been put in place. This same property was approved by SHPD with a county required archeological study done 2024 by Matt Clark of ASM Affiliates required because they received community member reports/complaints of graves on the site. This study confirmed finds of a 1992 Robert Spears findings. Because of Gina McGure's Cultural Impact Assessment given to the SHPD via the planning department archaeological monitoring was recommended even though nothing had physically changed on the property except more individuals stating there could be graves on the property. Jeff Darrow decided to take their recommendation. I have been in contact with Susan Lebo, Johusa Gastilo, Traven Apiki, and Sean Naleimaile at SHPD and tried to contact Jessica Puff. Most of them do not return phone calls, but I was successful contacting them (Mostly Susan, Traven and Sean) on several occasions. I have been trying to get them to remove the stipulation for monitoring and also to get a definition of ground disturbance. I have been getting the run around on both of those. Traven expressed they were mostly concern with excavation, 3' or so to the subsurface other than that none of them would give me written or verbal definition of ground disturbance. We have been careful in removing green waste and previous cut trees recently and have an approved waste system ready to be installed in an existing ravine.
