After March 1, permanent seawalls will no longer be allowed along the North Carolina coast, regardless of when the structures they protect were built. No repairs will be allowed of those seawalls still standing: only temporary structures such as sandbagging will be aJowed. With this regulatory change in mind, Carroll has advised A1 Holden, new owner of the Mel Hendricks place, that he can go ahead and sandbag. "Why make him wait 15 days?" Carroll asked. Earlier Hendricks was forced to tear down a seawall he had built in violation of CAMA regulations that allowed such structures only to protect homes buiit before 1979.
