10.5 DECLARATION OF A CRITICAL TIME
(a) A Critical Time may be declared (1) when the total
physical receipts to all or a portion of the system are approaching
or expected to approach, a level that is in excess of the total
physical deliveries Horizon can transport without jeopardizing the
integrity of its facilities; (2) when system pressure is falling and
approaching a level or is expected to fall and approach a level that
is at or below the minimum that Horizon considers necessary for
system integrity or to fulfill its firm contractual obligations; (3)
when system pressure on one or more pipeline segments is rising and
approaching a level or is expected to rise and approach a level that
is at or above the maximum pressure at which Horizon's facilities
may be safely operated; or (4) at other times when Horizon is unable
or anticipates it may not be able to fulfill its firm contractual
obligations or otherwise when necessary to maintain the overall
operational integrity of all or a portion of Horizon's system. A
Critical Time may not be declared on all or a portion of the system
for the purpose of maintaining interruptible services on that
portion of the system, but interruptible gas may flow at times or on
portions of the system when such flow would not violate any
operational control restrictions or provisions of this Tariff.
Horizon shall notify Shippers on the DART system as to the reason(s)
why a Critical Time was declared.
