Re: Height requirement for exterior box
If it is buried at all, it must be a direct burial rated box ... which means gasketed cover and no openings (like receptacles) which could allow water in.

If it is 'just above grade' but in a depression area and you see a high water mark around it, I wrote them up as needing to be direct burial/underwater rated.

If it is 'just above grade' and no evidence of water ... there is no 'minimum height' requirement.
