Original Sheet No. 510 Original Sheet No. 510 : Effective
daily variations, which are considered imbalances, will be
accrued and are subject to resolution under Section 4.7.
Shipper's daily variation shall not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the actual deliveries, except that Midwest may
allow greater variation, and/or may adjust receipts or
deliveries of gas hereunder, if it determines that it may
do so to achieve elimination of previous imbalances without
adverse effect on Midwest's operations or its ability to
meet all its other obligations, including lower priority
service. All daily variations in excess of this 10%
tolerance level will be subject to a Daily Balancing Charge
set forth on Sheet No. 4.
3.2 Daily Operating Tolerances During Extreme Conditions. When
Midwest declares an extreme conditions situation as to any
portion of its system, the tolerance level, as defined in
Section 3.1 above, shall be reduced from 10% to 5% and the
charge for variances beyond the reduced tolerance level
shall be $10.00 per Dth as set forth on Sheet No. 4. For
purposes of this Section 3.2, an extreme conditions
situation exists on any portion of Midwest's system when
throughput approaches capacity, when weather conditions so
require, or when operating pressures on the affected
portion are significantly less than or greater than normal
system operating pressures despite Midwest's efforts to
maintain normal pressures and a further decline or increase
in operating pressures would impair Midwest's ability to
receive or deliver Quantities of Gas in accordance with its
service obligations. Midwest may declare an extreme
conditions situation for the portion of its system affected
by the extreme conditions situation by notifying the meter
operator(s) and Shipper(s) through its EBB and by telephone
and facsimile communication. Once declared, Midwest will
post notification of the extreme conditions situation on
its EBB at the commencement of each Day until Midwest
notifies the meter operator(s) and the Shipper(s) through
its EBB and telephone and facsimile communication that the
extreme conditions situations has ended. When an extreme
conditions situation is declared to become effective at any
time other than the commencement of any Day, Shippers will
use their best efforts to bring deliveries to nominated
levels as soon as possible but in no event later than two
hours, after which the increased Daily Balancing Charge
provided for in this Section 3.2 shall be applied to
