Is their any were in the NEC that mentions a 10' ground rod ? ( in the last 50 years)
 
10 foot ground rods are the norm in substation grounding. Often we'll couple 2 together for a 20' ground rod. Substation grounding is subject to IEEE 80 though, not necessarily NEC.

I have only seen the 10' Ground Rods Couple together to make the 30' to 40' Ground Rods for a Water Intake Station for a Nuke Plant ....

Lightning anyone ?
