An oceanfront house on Cape Hatteras National Seashore in Rodanthe collapsed, marking the sixth Seashore house collapse over the past four years, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
The Southern Environmental Law Center, on behalf of the North Carolina Coastal Federation, has sent letters to the National Park Service and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services urging them to address threats to public health, welfare, and safety associated with collapsing houses and abandoned septic tanks in Rodanthe.
