GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
in the reverse order of priority set forth in Section 5.1. If
Firm Storage Service must be interrupted, interruption of service
to firm storage Customers shall be pro rata based on MDWQ, MDIQ,
MSQ, Maximum Park Quantity or Maximum Loan Quantity, as
applicable. Interruption of service to Interruptible Customers
under Rate Schedules ISS, IHBS, IP, IW, IL and IB and to firm
Customers utilizing Excess Injection Gas and/or Excess Withdrawal
Gas (pursuant to Section 2 of Rate Schedule FSS) shall be based on
the charges applicable to each Customer for the portion(s) of
service subject to interruption, with the transaction with the
lowest rate per dekatherm being interrupted first. Any ties shall
be interrupted on a pro rata basis.
(b) BLUEWATER shall provide Customer as much advance
notice of any interruption as is practicable under the
circumstances. Such notice shall be made by telephone, fax, e-
mail or via the Internet Web Site, as appropriate, and shall state
the reduced quantities of Gas that BLUEWATER estimates it will be
able to park, wheel, loan, store, inject, withdraw, receive or
deliver, as applicable, and the estimated duration of the
interruption.
(c) If interruption is required, BLUEWATER and Customer
shall cooperate to the extent possible in making adjustments to
receipts, deliveries, injections or withdrawals to minimize injury
to any property or facilities.
5.4 Interruption Liability. BLUEWATER shall not be
liable for any loss or damage to any person or property caused, in
whole or in part, by any interruption of service, except to the
extent caused solely by BLUEWATER's negligence or willful
misconduct.
5.5 Action Alerts and Operational Flow Orders.
(a) Circumstances Warranting Issuance: As specified in
this Section 5.5, BLUEWATER shall have the right to issue Action
Alerts or Operational Flow Orders ("OFOs") that require actions by
Customers in order (1) to alleviate conditions that threaten to
impair reliable service, (2) to maintain operations at the
pressures required to provide efficient and reliable services, (3)
to have adequate Gas supplies in the system to deliver on demand,
(4) to maintain service to all firm shippers and for all firm
services, and (5) to maintain the system in balance for the
foregoing purposes.
(b) Actions to be Taken to Avoid Issuance: BLUEWATER
shall, to the extent practicable, take all reasonable actions
necessary to avoid issuing an Action Alert or OFO. Such actions
shall include, in order of priority (1) working with point
operators to temporarily adjust receipts and/or deliveries at
relevant Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery, (2) working
with Customers and point operators to adjust scheduled flows on
the system, or (3) taking any other reasonable action designed to
mitigate the system problem. After taking all such reasonable
actions to avoid issuing an Action Alert or OFO, BLUEWATER will
have the right to issue Action Alerts or OFOs, if necessary, in
the circumstances described in Section 5.5(a).
