Observations:
Section 5.2.3 of the DIMP Plan states that ... Regulator stations are checked to ensure set points are correct to
achieve regulator lockup and relief set pressures are confirmed that the relief will open at desired set pressures
to protect MAOP...
During field inspections within all the companies districts the PUC has found that not all regulator stations are
plumbed for lockup and cannot be checked.
