I would like my plan checked by a professional. This project is a semi-open pavilion with a load center approximately 100 feet away. I am rating for 120' to ensure compliance with the NEC. My review of the NEC leads to believe that this will be a damp environment, so I am using an outdoor rated panel.

Wiring is calculated as follows: (3) 3 awg copper THHN/THWN with (1) 8 awg copper bare or insulated ground buried in 2" schedule 4 (schedule 8 above ground) pvc conduit 18" deep. There is no conduit fitting violation of greater than 180 degrees between pull points. The subpanel is not bonded and will have a separate grounding bar and 8 awg ground wire to (2) 5/8" x 8' stainless steel grounding rods not closer than 6'.

Thanks in adavance for any words of advice or caution. As an ancillary matter this project is in western NY, Niagara County. I know how NY state loves its regulations, so if there are any other cautionary measures, please advise.
