No NEC reference was made. Report states that empty conduit must be empty.

Depth of trench is 2 feet. Length of trench is approx 150 feet. Conduit is grey PVC 1-1/2 inch. I ran UF rather than bare because My electrician told me to pull UF 12-2 with ground. I did not mention earlier that, that a second defect was that I need to add a junction break to keep 360 degrees or less per run. I think this is unrelated to having unused wire pulled and idle. I am going to cut my one run and add a junction to keep bends less than 360 degrees per run.

Thanks for response.
