Action:
Creation of a General Permit for Use of the Surficial Aquifer on the Eastern Shore
General Information
| Action Summary |
There is significant non-potable groundwater use from the confined aquifer system for agricultural activities such as irrigation and cooling for poultry houses. Various parties on the Eastern Shore, including the Eastern Shore Groundwater Committee propose that use of the surficial aquifer or water table aquifer for non-potable uses achieves greater long-term aquifer sustainability. This regulatory proposal will amend the existing groundwater withdrawal regulation to authorize the development of a general permit and create a new general permit regulation to promote use of the surficial aquifer on the Eastern Shore. |
