all Pocatello district line markers were marked as Acceptable.
No methodology from System Integrity during the audit window existed to properly identify gathering
classifications. NCR non-conformance report#QIS 5183 was provided which was to create Form 23093 for
analysis. Records did not properly document any methodology that IGC used to identify and classify Type
A, B, C, and R gathering pipelines correctly and within required timeframes during the audit window.
