A burial depth for the GEC is not specified in the NEC 2002. A proposal was accepted to require the GEC to be at least 12" below grade from the building to the electrode. (5-154) In my area of the world, the GEC is commonly buried just below the surface or even directly on the surface of the ground before sod is laid.

3. Anyone know how this made out in the comment process?
