TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. QUALITY (Continued)
3.7 Failure to Meet Specifications. If, at any time, gas tendered by
Shipper for transportation shall fail to conform to any of the
applicable quality specifications set forth in Sections 3.1 or 3.2
of the GT&C and Transporter notifies Shipper of such deficiency and
Shipper fails to remedy any such deficiency within a reasonable
period of time (immediately in those situations which threaten the
integrity of Transporter's system), Transporter may, at its option,
refuse to accept such gas pending correction of the deficiency by
Shipper or, Transporter may continue to accept the receipt of such
gas and make such changes as are necessary to cause the gas to
conform to such specifications, in which event Shipper shall
reimburse Transporter for all reasonable expenses incurred by
Transporter in effecting such changes, including operational and
gas costs associated with purging and/or venting the pipeline.
Failure by Shipper to tender quantities that conform to any of the
applicable quality specifications shall not be construed to
eliminate, or limit in any manner, the obligations of Shipper
existing under any other provisions of the Executed TSA. In the
event Natural Gas is delivered into Transporter's system that would
cause the Natural Gas in a portion of Transporter's pipeline to
become unmerchantable, then Transporter is permitted to act
expediently to make the gas merchantable again by any and all
reasonable methods, including, without limitation, venting the
pipeline of whatever quantity of Natural Gas is necessary to
achieve a merchantable stream of gas. Shipper shall reimburse
Transporter for all reasonable expenses incurred by Transporter to
obtain merchantable Natural Gas again, including operational and
gas costs associated with venting the pipeline. In such cases,
Transporter shall promptly notify Shipper of the non-conforming
supply and any steps taken to protect the merchantability of the
gas.
3.8 Gas Quality Monitoring Equipment. After giving sufficient notice
to a Shipper, Transporter shall have the right to collect from all
Shippers delivering gas to Transporter at a common Receipt Point
their volumetric pro rata share of the cost of any additional gas
quality equipment including hydrogen sulfide analysis and/or water
vapor analysis equipment which Transporter, at its reasonable
discretion, determines is required to be installed at such Receipt
Point to monitor the quality of gas delivered.
