GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(f) Action Alerts: In the event that BLUEWATER
determines that due to (1) an ongoing or anticipated weather event,
(2) a known equipment problem, or (3) the anticipated continuation
of a current system operational problem, action is necessary to
avoid a situation in which the system integrity is jeopardized or
BLUEWATER's ability to render firm service is threatened, BLUEWATER
may issue an Action Alert as set out herein to forestall the
development of the situation.
(1) Issuance of Alerts: Action Alerts will be noticed in
accord with the procedures set forth in Section 5.5(e) and
BLUEWATER will endeavor to provide a minimum of four hours
notice.
(2) Action Alerts can be issued to effect any of the
following:
(A) restriction of Interruptible services;
(B) restrictions of deliveries or receipts at
specific Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery
covered by an operational balancing agreement to the
aggregate MDRQ or MDDQ under the Storage Service
Agreements for Firm Storage Services whose Primary
Point(s) of Delivery/Receipt, which are specified in
the Storage Service Agreement, are at the affected
locations; and/or
(C) forced balancing such that point operators will
be required to assure that nominations equal flows or
that receipts and deliveries fall within the
tolerance level designated in the Action Alert.
(g) OFOs: In the event that, in BLUEWATER's judgment,
immediate action is required to alleviate conditions which threaten
to impair reliable firm service, to maintain operations at the
pressures required to provide efficient and reliable service, to
have adequate Gas supplies in the system to deliver on demand, to
maintain services to all firm Customers and for all firm services,
and/or to maintain the system in balance for the foregoing purposes,
BLUEWATER may forgo the action described in Section 5.5(f) and
immediately issue an OFO. In the event that (l) Customer or point
operator does not respond to an Action Alert, (2) the actions taken
thereunder are insufficient to correct the system problem for which
the Action Alert was issued, or (3) there is insufficient time to
carry out the procedures with respect to Action Alerts, BLUEWATER
may issue an OFO pursuant to this Section 5.5(g) or take unilateral
action, including the curtailment of firm service, to maintain the
operational integrity of BLUEWATER's system. For purposes of this
Section, the operational integrity of BLUEWATER's system shall
encompass the integrity of the physical system and the preservation
of physical assets and their performance, the overall operating
performance of the entire physical system as an entity, and the
maintenance (on a reliable and operationally sound basis) of total
system deliverability and the quality of Gas delivered.
