GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
1. DEFINITIONS (Continued)
1.37 "Maximum Delivery Quantity" or "MDQ" shall mean the maximum quantity
of Gas, expressed in Dths per Day, which Transporter shall be
obligated under a Service Agreement to Deliver to Shipper or for
Shipper's account.
The MDQ listed on the Service Agreement between Transporter and
Shipper is based on a thermal content for the operational area of
Shipper's Primary Points of Receipt. The thermal content used for
MDQ determinations for the five operational areas of Transporter's
system are:
Operational Area Btu/cubic foot
-------------------- ---------------
Medicine Bow Lateral 968
Powder River Lateral 981
Wyoming Mainline and Echo Springs Lateral 1053
Piceance Basin Lateral 1050
Kanda Lateral 1050
Transporter continuously measures the thermal content of Gas on its
system. If the thermal content in any Month deviates from the Btu
per cubic foot levels stated above, or the then-current thermal
content on which MDQ's are based, and Transporter reasonably
determines that it will not be able to fully provide firm service
due to the thermal change, Transporter can adjust each firm
Shipper's MDQ. The MDQ adjustment will be posted on Transporter's
electronic bulletin board, and will become effective on the first
Day of the Month following posting. If an adjustment causes Shipper
to be in an overrun situation, Shipper will not be liable for any
overrun charges that are incurred during the first thirty days after
implementation of the adjustment. In the event of an MDQ adjustment,
Transporter shall also adjust its rates to prevent any undercharge
or overcharge to Shippers which might otherwise result from the MDQ
adjustments. The adjusted rates shall also be posted on
Transporter's electronic bulletin board. The adjusted rates will be
calculated by multiplying the fraction (Btu level stated above
applicable to Shipper, or the then-current thermal content, divided
by the new thermal content) by Transporter's rates that were
applicable to Shipper. The adjusted rates will take effect the first
Day of the Month that begins after the posting. The net effect on
total payment due as a result of Shipper's adjusted MDQ and rates
will be zero. Transporter will seek FERC approval if the adjustment
to MDQ and rates, due to changes to the thermal content of the Gas,
is more than 5 percent of the then-current thermal content. This
provision also applies to Segmentation.
