Thanks, I do have the 1996 code book. 250-24 (a) exception no. 2: Exempts aznewsh from having to pound a ground rod.
As long as he runs an equipment grounding conductor with the circuit conductors for grounding any noncurrent-carrying metal equipment.
The reason I am against another ground rod is because it introduces a second direct path to earth. I believe there should only be one path to Earth. At the main service panel.
