A picture is worth 1000 (curse) words...

The above pic shows the consistency of the um, "soil"... for want of a more descriptive word... The groundrod visible is resting upon the back-fill pile.

Shown above, one ground rod will lie in the trench at 30" deep, as far from the 1-1/2" PVC conduit as practical.

The second rod will be in the as yet non-existent trench, which will extend another 15' from the end of the existing one.
How would you tackle this?
Does your PoCo accept Ufers, plates, rings or other electrodes? If not by default, how do you gain acceptance of alternate means?
This is but the first of many possible services I'll do in the general area of these photos, so I'll be tackling this problem many times. Large, powerful, and dangerous machines and methods will also be considered!
