GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(G) In the event there is a need for Pipeline to engage in routine and normal
maintenance of the system, to undertake repairs and replacements of lines of
pipe, to schedule U.S. DOT compliance activities, to install taps, to make pig
runs, to test storage fields, to test equipment, to check or change compressor
internals for different flow conditions, or to engage in other similar actions
affecting the capacity of any portions of the system of Pipeline, Pipeline shall
issue operational flow orders pursuant to this Section 4.3(G) of the General
Terms and Conditions to inform all Customers under all of Pipeline's applicable
rate schedules of such planned maintenance or other activities that will affect
the capacity of any portions of the system, explaining in detail the action
which affects the portion of the system and the portion of the system affected.
An order issued pursuant to this Section 4.3(G) will contain an estimate of the
time, duration, and impact of the activity. Pipeline shall exercise due
diligence to schedule routine repair and maintenance so as to minimize
disruptions of service to Customers. This provision is in addition to, but not
co-extensive with, the force majeure provision contained in the General Terms
and Conditions of Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff. An event of force majeure may
affect deliveries, but not trigger the need for an operational flow order
pursuant to this Section 4.3(G). An order issued pursuant to this Section
4.3(G) shall be canceled when such planned maintenance or other activities have
been completed.
(H) In the event the delivery pressure to one or more Customers drops below the
pressure provided in the service agreement(s) of the Customer(s), Pipeline may
immediately issue an operational flow order pursuant to this Section 4.3(H) of
the General Terms and Conditions requiring that deliveries under all of
Pipeline's rate schedules be made on a uniform hourly rate effective three (3)
hours after issuance of the operational flow order. If only one segment of
Pipeline's system has been affected by low pressure, the operational flow order
shall be limited to that section of the system. For the duration of this
operational flow order, increases in scheduled delivery quantities within
affected segments of Pipeline's system will be made on a prospective basis only.
(I) In the event total remaining storage inventories are reduced to 30% of maximum
Storage Inventory at any time, Pipeline may issue an operational flow order
pursuant to this Section 4.3(I) of the General Terms and Conditions requiring
imbalances incurred during the term of this operational flow order attributable
to deliveries in excess of scheduled delivery quantities or receipts of less than
scheduled receipt quantities must be scheduled as Gas due to Pipeline on the Day
following posting of such operational imbalance on the LINK® System and for
imbalances due Pipeline that were incurred prior to the issuance of an
operational flow
