Saw POLES ( construction temporary power poles for underground)

[Sjogdren1]

My NEW local authority member Electrical inspector has required US to drive grounding electrodes for SAW POLES. AKA construction temporary power. In my location we have used a butt ground for over 20 years due to someone driving a rod through a primary cable. Are most jurisdictions requiring ground rods on temporary saw poles?

They are required here

While a common practice in many areas, I don't think that the NEC has ever permitted a butt ground as a grounding electrode.
