Jim--
Lighten up; in this case, the new question, and any answer, should
contribute to clarification. (I think)
With what I have heard about "Salt Doping" and similar means of enhancement,
I see only a strong probability of ambiguity here, as it is now.

Please don't answer a question with a question. It's counter productive..

All:
I've read the service life of copper-clad ground rods can last as much as
40
years depending on the type of soil they're in.
Be that as it may, I found some corrosion on 4 copper-clad ground rods
that
are bonded to the tower and they've only been in the ground for 15 years.
The corrosion is light at a foot below grade, but I suspect it could be
worse down the length of the rod.
Replacing the rods isn't costly and it's worth knowing the grounds are in
good shape. The question is what to do with the existing rods?
Is there any benefit in placing the new rods near the old and bonding them
even though the spacing is close?
Tony
