RATE SCHEDULE 10SS
TEN-DAY STORAGE SERVICE (Continued)
4. MINIMUM BILL
The minimum bill for service hereunder shall be equal to the monthly
storage demand charge plus the monthly storage space charge.
5. STORAGE INJECTIONS
5.1 Generally, Equitrans will inject gas into storage on behalf of
Customer during the period from the beginning of the gas day on
April 1 through the end of the gas day on October 31 ("the
injection period"). However, individual Service Agreements may
specify different injection periods.
5.2 The maximum injection quantity of gas which Equitrans is
obligated on any day to inject into storage for any Customer
under this Rate Schedule shall be the MDIQ specified in the
applicable Storage Service Agreement, which shall be calculated
as 1/200th of the Customer's TASQ. If operating conditions permit,
Equitrans may allow any Customer, upon request to inject gas into
storage in excess of the Customer's MDIQ. Equitrans shall be
obligated to accept gas for storage for Customer's account only
when and to the extent that Customer's storage inventory is less
than its TASQ.
Scheduling of injections including overruns shall be provided by
Customer to Equitrans in accordance with Section 8 of the General
Terms and Conditions of Equitrans' FERC Gas Tariff.
5.3 Winter injections shall be permitted on an interruptible basis
subject to Equitrans' management of storage to preserve
deliverability.
5.4 Customer is required to inject ninety-seven percent (97%) of
its TASQ under this Rate Schedule by the end of the injection
period. If the Customer fails to inject up to the level of
97% of its TASQ by the end of the contractual injection
period, the Customer will not be permitted to draw upon the
undelivered storage quantities in the subsequent withdrawal
period and will be subject to a reduced MDWQ during the subsequent
withdrawal period. Depending on the operating conditions of
its storage reservoirs, Equitrans may elect to inject gas into
storage on the Customers behalf, and may assess a Storage
Imbalance Penalty on any quantities so injected, up to the
level of 97% of the Customer's TASQ. The Storage Imbalance Penalty
