GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
9. NEW FACILITIES CHARGE
9.1 When new and/or expanded facilities are required to
accommodate receipt and/or delivery of gas under a request for new
service, and Trailblazer determines that installation of such
facilities will not impair service to any Existing Shipper or
threaten the integrity of Trailblazer's System, Trailblazer will
construct such facilities but Trailblazer shall require Shipper to
pay all construction costs, including any filing fees and a
reimbursement amount to compensate for federal income tax effects
associated with such facilities, except that Trailblazer will pay
the cost of such facilities when the criteria set forth below are
satisfied.
9.2 (a) Trailblazer will pay the cost of the modification
or construction of facilities required at Receipt or Delivery
Point(s) to effectuate the receipt or delivery of natural gas
hereunder when the construction or modification of such facilities
is economically beneficial to Trailblazer.
(b) (1) For the purposes of determining whether a gas
supply project is economically beneficial to Trailblazer,
Trailblazer will evaluate each prospective project based upon the
amount of the reserves and deliverability characteristic of the gas
supply to be attached. Facility additions at Receipt Points shall
be evaluated based upon the incremental cost of service of the
facilities to be constructed by Trailblazer, and the incremental
revenues which Trailblazer estimates will be generated as a result
of constructing and/or modifying such facilities.
(2) For the purposes of determining whether a
project to deliver gas is economically beneficial to Trailblazer,
Trailblazer will evaluate each prospective project based upon the
incremental cost of service of the facilities to be constructed by
Trailblazer, and the incremental revenues which Trailblazer
estimates will be generated as a result of constructing and/or
modifying such facilities.
(3) In estimating the incremental revenues to be
generated, Trailblazer will base those revenues upon transportation
rates it expects to be able to charge, exclusive of any surcharges,
such as an ACA charge, and the projected incremental volumes which
will result from the project. Trailblazer will consider volumes to
be incremental if the volumes which will be transported would not
otherwise flow through Trailblazer's System.
