A. The board shall deny application for coverage under this general permit to:
1. An activity outside the Eastern Shore Groundwater Management Area.
2. An activity in an aquifer other than the surficial aquifer of the Eastern Shore Groundwater Management Area.
3. A well with a maximum depth greater than 80 feet below land surface, unless the applicant provides geophysical logs with the application that show the maximum depth of the well is constructed within the surficial aquifer of the Eastern Shore Groundwater Management Area, as determined by department review. Wells with a maximum depth less than or equal to 80 feet below land surface do not require submission of geophysical logs.
