GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
when determined as provided in Section 2 of Article III hereof, falls
below nine hundred and sixty-seven (or above eleven hundred in the case of
citygate deliveries) British thermal units per cubic foot, Shipper shall
have the option to refuse to accept said gas so long as said total heating
value remains below nine hundred and sixty-seven (or above eleven hundred
in the case of citygate deliveries) British thermal units per cubic foot.
(b) Freedom from objectionable matter: The natural gas delivered by
Transporter under this Tariff shall be commercially free from objectionable
odors, dust, or other solid or liquid matters (including hydrocarbon
liquids) which might interfere with its merchantability or cause injury to
or interference with proper operation of the lines, regulators, meters or
other appliances through which it flows at the point of delivery; and shall
not contain more than twenty grains of total sulphur nor more than one
grain of hydrogen sulphide per one hundred cubic feet. Transporter's
obligation hereunder shall in no way require Transporter to deliver natural
gas to Shipper at anything other than at the prevailing pressure and
temperature in Transporter's pipeline.
2. Failure to conform to specifications against objectionable matter:
If the gas offered for delivery by Transporter shall fail at any time to conform
to any of the specifications set forth in Section 1 of this Article, then Shipper
shall notify Transporter of such deficiency and thereupon may at Shipper's option
refuse to accept delivery pending correction by Transporter. Upon Transporter's
failure promptly to remedy any deficiency in quality as specified in Section 1 of
this Article, Shipper may accept delivery of such gas and may make changes
necessary to bring such gas into conformity with such specifications, and
Transporter may reimburse Shipper for any reasonable expense incurred by it in
effecting such changes.
If a Shipper requests delivery ("Requesting Shipper") of gas that does not meet
one or more of the gas quality specifications contained in Article II, Section 1
above ("Non-Conforming Gas"), nothing in this Article II shall prevent the
Requesting Shipper from waiving any of its rights under this Section 2 or agreeing
to indemnify, defend, and hold Transporter harmless from any damages to the
Requesting Shipper's facilities relating to Transporter's delivery of such Non-
Conforming Gas, provided that the delivery to the Requesting Shipper occurs at a
point on Transporter's system located in the supply area, as defined in Article I,
Section 21 of these General Terms and Conditions. The Requesting Shipper may
specify whether it is waiving one or more of the gas quality specifications
contained in Article II, Section 1 above. Transporter may reject any request to
deliver Non-Conforming Gas if Transporter determines, in its sole judgment, that
it will adversely impact Transporter's system or other Shippers. Except under the
specific circumstances of a Requesting Shipper, nothing in this Article II shall
relieve Transporter of its obligation to deliver gas that conforms to the
specifications of Article II, Section 1.
3. The provisions set forth in this Article II Section 3 shall apply to all gas
delivered to Transporter. Gas delivered to Transporter hereunder:
(a) shall have a total heating value of not less than nine hundred sixty-seven
(967) Btu's per cubic foot, and not more than eleven hundred (1100) Btu's
per cubic foot;
(b) shall be commercially free from objectionable odors, dust, water, any
other solid or liquid matter that might interfere with its merchantability
or cause injury to, or interference with, proper operation of the
equipment through which it flows and any substance that might become
separated from the gas in Transporter's facilities. Shipper shall
furnish, install, maintain and operate drips, separators, heaters, and
other mechanical devices as may be necessary to effect compliance with
such requirements (after having secured the prior approval of Transporter
as to the design and construction of such facilities, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld);
