A. The department shall deny application for coverage under this general permit to:

1. An activity outside a groundwater management area.

2. An activity in an aquifer other than the surficial aquifer of a groundwater management area.

3. An activity that causes, may reasonably be expected to cause, or may contribute to causing more than minimal water level declines in the underlying confined aquifer system or degradation in water quality, stream or wetland hydrology, or other instream beneficial uses.

B. The department may require an individual permit in accordance with 9VAC25-610-95 B rather than granting coverage under this general permit.
