just an installers POV....since the trench is already there, stay at depth till you hit the house, come up and LB in...
if they don't install the deck before they cut the electric line, it will be big problems...

It is going to be back filled so that the 4" cleanout is at grade level. That is why there is not an LB at the house, the conduit will be underground coming out of the house. it will just be a little shallow for the first several feet.
Having seen the picture, I am with emahler.

Having seen the picture, I would think it would have been easier to pass it if a hot box was used and a couple of 45-degree bends were installed to offset the conduit down quickly.

I think this is a good question and needs some consideration.
I can understand why an LB under the deck would be undesireable, especially if the deck boards are nailed instead of screwed.

I presume the same way gas fumes can come from a dispenser into a C-Store?
Pressure differential?
ok...then i'm with Lou and the 45D to bring it down...if the footings were in, and the deck being built already, leave as is...
but since the code is not forward looking, and only deals with here and now (at least it's supposed to:grin
, what's to say they never put a deck in? and then your install is in violation...
After seeing the picture my thought is, one hot day of full sun and it will be half the issue it is now. They are going to be pouring concrete for the post of the deck it would be very little effort to put a few inches of concrete over the little bit of the run that comes up to close to the surface, that said from an inspectors point of view I don't think I would loose to much (if any) sleep over this since the deck over the top of the pipe is not going to allow a pick swinging Dwarf (or seven of them) to do much damage to the pipe.

Would that fitting be accessible ?? I wonder if this is on a slab?? If not I would have gone through at the proper depth regardless of a deck
Disconnect for what?
