(a) Types of Operational Flow Orders
(1) Emergency System Maintenance - Pipeline may direct Customers under any firm or
interruptible Rate Schedule to increase or decrease receipts of flowing Gas on a
particular portion of the system in order to accommodate required unscheduled
maintenance.
(2) Extreme Conditions - For purpose of this Section 5.9(a)(2), an extreme condition
exists on any portion of Pipeline's system when throughput approaches capacity, when
weather conditions so require, or when operating pressures on the affected portion are
significantly less than or greater than normal system operating pressures despite
Pipeline's effort to maintain normal pressures, and further decline or increase in operating
pressures would impair Pipeline's ability to receive or deliver quantities of Gas in
accordance with its service obligations. Pipeline may declare an extreme condition
situation for the affected portion of the system by notifying the meter operator(s) and
Customer(s) through its Interactive Internet Website and by telephone, E-mail and/or
facsimile communication. Once declared, Pipeline will post notification of the extreme
condition on its Interactive Internet Website at the commencement of each Day until
Pipeline notifies the meter operator(s) and the Customer(s) through the Interactive
Internet Website and telephone, E-mail and/or facsimile communication that the extreme
condition has ended. When an extreme condition is declared to become effective at any
time other then the commencement of any Day, Customer(s) will use their best efforts to
bring deliveries to nominated levels as soon as possible but in no event later then two (2)
hours, after which the Daily Scheduling Charge provided for in Section 5.9(b)shall apply
to variances in excess of the 3% tolerance level.
(b) Daily Scheduling Charge - When Pipeline declares a System Maintenance OFO as
to any portion of its system, or if necessary the entire system, the daily scheduling
tolerance level shall be 5% of the authorized delivery levels. However, when Pipeline
declares an Extreme Condition OFO as to any portion of its system, the daily scheduling
tolerance level shall be 3% of the authorized delivery levels. The Charge for variances
beyond the tolerances levels as stated in the OFO shall be:
(i) the greater of $5 or two times the Cash Out price as defined in Paragraph 14.7(c) for
each Dth which exceeds authorized delivery levels by more
