is a surface weather station.
It Is one of 50 being put in place in
North and South Carolina and
Virginia. They are caiied the Portable
Automated Mesonet (PAMi
system. When activated, the instrumentation
will record weather
data at five-minute intervals and
relay it via satellite to a GAIJ5 Command
Center in Kaleigh.
GALE (Genesis of Atlantic Lows
Experiment) is a $10 million program
designed to investigate one of
the East Coast's biggest weather
makers.
GAIJ-: is a national effort to make
better forecasts of Hatteras lows,
weather systems that brew off the
Carolina coast and dump ice and
snow as far north as New England.
The hard-to-predict low pressure
systems are hundreds of miles in
diameter and whirl in a counterclockwise
direction.

Douglas (DougI Hoffman and Doug
Hoffman Excavating last summer,
citing specific violations at a mining
pit near Soutliport off N.C. 211 in 1984

First notified of apparent violations
in February 198-1, Hoffman did
not post the $2,500 surety bond required
by the state for a mining permit
until September 1985, at which
time a permit was issued.

Jim Griffin of Holden Beach Realty
and Bob Buck, town administrator,
are site contacts for the PAM station
located at Holden Beach. Buck
acknowledged Monday that he is one
of the site contacts, but said he knows
very little about the project
"The sensitive devices record atmospheric
pressure, temperature,
humidity, precipitation, wind speed
and wind direction." according to Dr
Gerald F. Watson, a N. C. State
University meteorologist.
The sensors are secured on an
aluminum mast assembly and tripod
and are kept alive by solar powered
batteries.
Watson said the PAM system
makes strategic weather
measurements available faster than
ever before.
"Having this data immediately
will aid in the location and monitoring
of important details that help
make up these weather systems," he
added.
> Collect Fines
General Walter M. Smith, Hoffman
waived his right to an administrative
hearing regarding the fines when he
failed to request a hearing within a
60-dav waiting period. He was
notified of the propased penalties on
Oct.
The ease was turned over to the Attorney
General's office for collection
by the director of NRCD's Division of
I.and Resources. Stephen G. Conrad.
Hoffman could have been fined
$5,000 per violation, with each day a
violation continues considered a
separate offense.
According to the complaint, he was
fined $2,600 for a violation that occurred
Feb. 17, 1 '.104, and $2,000 each for
violations noted March 20, 1984, Feb
12 and Aug. 20. 1985
