11. SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS
11.2 Flow Control Equipment (Continued)
(a) (Continued)
(iv) Transporter may exercise Flow Control under the following
circumstances, notwithstanding anything in this Section
11.2 (but shall provide as much advance notice as
reasonably possible):
(A) At the location(s) in the declared COC area,
Transporter will provide at least one hour advance
notice by phone and email to the affected
Operator(s);
(B) When immediate shut-in of non-conforming gas (non-
conforming gas is delineated by Section 3 of the
GT&C) is necessary to preserve the safety or the
integrity of the location, segment, lateral, or
overall system. Natural gas that is subject to,
and meets the requirements of Section 3.2 or 3.6 is
not considered to be non-conforming gas for
purposes of this Section 11.2(a);
(C) In an emergency situation where safety or the
integrity of the location, segment, lateral, or
overall system is at immediate risk and
necessitates immediate shut-in of facilities; or
(D) When Transporter and Operator mutually agree to the
use of Flow Control.
(b) In the event remote-controlled flow control equipment has not
been installed by Transporter at a certain point and Transporter
has repeatedly issued notice of intent to use flow control
equipment manually or has repeatedly declared location-specific
COCs at such point, Transporter may install, using reasonable
judgment in a not-unduly discriminatory manner, at Operator's
expense remote-controlled flow control equipment at such point to
promote safety and reliability. Such payment requirement shall
reflect Transporter's reasonable judgment.
(i) For purposes of this Section 11.2(b), "repeatedly" shall
be deemed to be three notifications of intent to use Flow
Control within a twelve-month period or three location-
specific COC declarations within a twelve-month period.
(c) Transporter will not be held liable for any special, indirect,
consequential, incidental or punitive damages to Operator
resulting from Transporter's use of Flow Control that meets the
requirements of this Section 11.2 except to the extent of gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Transporter.
