That's the Code the OP states is current in his jurisdiction. Your 1st clue !

Is just a moderate sized house if there is a 550 foot run in/on it:cool:

Possibly has a meter and a 550 foot run to the house?

If so then the need for an EGC depends if the meter has a service disconnecting means associated with it. Just a meter with no disconnect/overcurrent protection - the load side conductors are still considered service conductors. Throw a (per defined) service disconnecting means in at the meter location, and the load side conductors are feeders and will require an equipment grounding conuctor.

Well, he says he is in Anaheim too and we (California) are still on the 2011 code, at least for now and MAYBE 2014 this month (it typically lags by 3 years). So either he doesn't know what "code cycle" means, or he is not really an electrician. But we are definitely not 2015.
