Attachment 10 - Performance and Damage Prevention Questions
CALENDAR YEAR (CY) 2022
Planned Performance: What are your Planned Annual and Long-term goals for your Pipeline Safety Program?
The IPUC Pipeline Safety Division is committed to improving our pipeline safety program.The Commission's annual goals are to
ensure Idaho jurisdictional pipeline operators are providing the safe transportation and delivery of natural gas to its customers and
doing this without affecting the safety of the public.This is accomplished by a comprehensive program of inspections and audits of
the companies'records and field equipment and following-up on each incident and non-compliance found.The Commission's
inspection staff will continue conducting construction inspections,follow-up inspections of the high-pressure service sets(HPSS/farm
taps)and will continue to attend the construction of the renewable natural gas pipelines.The Commission's goal is to get the new
inspector through the TQ learning path(gas)and be able to lead basic inspections with the long term goal of maintaining a full
inspection staff.
Past Performance: What did the Pipeline Safety Program accomplish during the subject year(to this document)to contribute
toward the program's annual and long-term goals?
Five Intrastate operators within the Commission's jurisdiction were inspected for the safe transportation and delivery of natural gas
within the state according to the Commission's approved program of operating procedures.Any deficiencies found were documented
and discussed with the operators for corrective action(s).Follow-up inspections were performed as required.IPUC inspectors
completed 7 T&Q courses in 2022.The IPUC hosted and provided a PHMSA Tri annual safety seminar to meet the 3 year training.
1. Has the state or agency reviewed the Damage Prevention Assistance Program(DPAP)document in the last twelve months?
No
2. Has the state or agency developed or is in the process of developing a plan to address the nine elements contained in the PIPES
Act of 2006 for an effective State Damage Prevention Program?
Yes
If yes to question 2,where does the state or agency stand on implementation of the nine elements contained in the PIPES Act of
2006? Please provide a description of how the state or agency has or will meet each element. If not,please provide a brief passage
explaining the reasons why the state or agency has not.
The Commission has continued to participate in the statewide coalition for damage prevention but does not have statutory authority to
develop a State Damage Prevention Program that would have any enforcement ability.All enforcement authority for damage
prevention is held within Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing-Damage Prevention Board.The Commission
does hold a seat on the board but would not have any directive authority over it.The board's objective plan has addressed the nine
elements for an effective State Damage Prevention Program.The Commission supports the program through an alliance with(two)
one-call centers,Operator's public awareness programs,and utility coordinating councils.The goal of the coalition is to improve the
underground damage prevention law,eliminate as many exemptions as possible,educate the public and establish an effective
enforcement mechanism in accordance with the 9 elements contained in the PIPES Act.During annual audit(s)of each operator,the
Commission continues to review operator's damage prevention program against rules and standards to ensure the programs processes
C are in place and effective.Noted deficiency(s)are documented on the IPUC Form 1 and the appropriate section of the PHMSA
checklist.Significant process deficiencies result in immediate corrective actions and if needed a compliance action.Procedures for
C probable violation process established in the Commission's program operating procedures will be followed.
