XVII. CONSTRUCTION OF RECEIPT AND DELIVERY FACILITIES
1. Transporter shall have no obligation to construct, modify or rearrange Tap
Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities to perform any service for a
requesting party. For the purposes of this Article XVII, "Tap Facilities"
shall include, but not be limited to, receipt and delivery taps, block and
check valves, electronic gas measurement, communication equipment, and flange.
"Connecting Facilities" shall include laterals, interconnecting pipeline,
metering, compression, flow regulators and pressure regulators other than the
Tap Facilities. "Lateral" shall mean any pipeline extension of Transporter
(other than a mainline extension) built by Transporter from Transporter's
existing pipeline facility to deliver gas to one or more customers, including
new delivery points and enlargements or replacements of existing laterals.
"Construction" shall mean the construction, modification or rearrangement by
Transporter or its designee of Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities
to perform any service, including any Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting
Facilities necessary for Transporter to receive gas from, deliver gas to, or
measure any gas received from or delivered to any party requesting
Transporter's construction of such facilities.
2. All requests for the Construction of Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting
Facilities shall be handled by Transporter in a manner which is not unduly
discriminatory. In the event that Transporter determines that it will construct
facilities that will result in the expansion of its pipeline system, Transporter
will offer the proposed expansion capacity to all Shippers on a non-
discriminatory basis.
3. In the event that Transporter agrees to the Construction of Tap Facilities or
Tap and Connecting Facilities, any agreement to construct, modify or rearrange
such Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities shall be conditioned as
follows:
3.1 The Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities shall be installed at
a point(s) which, in Transporter's reasonable judgment, is the most
practical, convenient and readily accessible location; provided, however,
Transporter shall not deny requesting party's proposed point(s) without
adequate operational, environmental or legal justification; and
3.2 The requesting party shall provide support for any regulatory
authorization or permitting requirements necessary to support the Tap
Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities at any duly authorized
federal, state or government agency having jurisdiction including, but
not limited to, all exhibits required by an application for FERC
authorization; and
3.3 The terms and conditions of the Construction of the Tap Facilities or Tap
and Connecting Facilities shall be mutually agreed to by Transporter and
the requesting party and set forth in a facilities agreement. Nothing
herein precludes requesting party or requesting party's designee from
constructing the Connecting Facilities; and
3.4 The ownership, operation and maintenance of the Tap Facilities or Tap and
Connecting Facilities shall be mutually agreed to by Transporter and the
requesting party and set forth in a facilities agreement. Nothing herein
precludes requesting party or requesting party's designee from owning the
Connecting Facilities.
