GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
18. COORDINATION
Company shall make such arrangements with all Persons, including the
Nominating Party and the Interconnected Party(s), as may be required
to ensure proper coordination of the gas control and other operations
of Company and interconnecting facilities and as may be desirable to
promote the efficient operation of Company's pipeline system. Such
arrangements may include provision for consultation among Company and
such Persons and mutual inspection of relevant records.
19. FACILITIES POLICY
Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Company will not be required
to build, modify, operate, own, or contribute to the cost of building or
operating any facilities including but not limited to pipeline facili-
ties, taps, metering facilities, valves, looping and/or compression
facilities, to Shippers or other Persons, which are not operationally or
economically feasible. In the event, Company agrees to either build,
operate, own, or contribute to the cost of building any such facilities,
Company shall do so on a not unduly discriminatory basis.
19.1 Unless otherwise agreed to by Company, Shipper will be
required to reimburse Company, on mutually agreeable terms,
for costs associated with constructing and operating the
facilities. Such mutually agreed upon reimbursement may be
in the form of an incremental rate, an operations fee, a lump
sum payment, or a mutually agreed upon method, including
reimbursement for any associated tax effects. Company may
waive this requirement on a not unduly discriminatory basis.
19.2 Company may pay or contribute to the cost of building or
operating facilities requested by Shippers or other Persons when
Company determines that by doing so, it will result in an
economic benefit, or determines that the project is economically
neutral to Company. Company may conclude that a portion of the
facilities are economically beneficial. Company will evaluate
each prospective project under this policy based upon the
incremental cost of service and the incremental revenues which
Company estimates will be generated as a result of the project.
When estimating incremental revenues to be generated, Company
will base those revenues upon transportation rates it expects to
be able to charge, net of any surcharges, and the incremental
volumes or firm service contracts that will result from the
project. Company may consider volumes or firm service contracts
to be incremental if the volumes or firm service contracts that
will be transported or provided respectively would not otherwise
flow through, or be contracted for firm service on Company's
system.
