Inspectors completed the 2022 records review and field inspection of the Nampa LNG facility.Parts on the field
inspection will be completed during non-liquifaction times of the year(summer 2023). Completed forms and
typed report.Recommendations are listed on IA Post Inspection Preliminary Findings.
Discrepancies:
IPUC inspectors observed discrepancies relating to recordkeeping of liquefaction cool down to specifically
mention the inspection of"flanges, valves and seals" for leaks as stated in 193.2505(b). Additionally, inspectors
would like to see the term "continual training"used in the monthly/annual logs to differentiate between initial
and continual training. Recommended attaching a change sheet to the SEA Fire study and prevention plan.
