GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
19.2 LIQUIDS SAMPLE
Shipper agrees to supply or cause its designee to supply
to MEP upon demand, at any time and from time to time, a sample of
liquids removed from the Gas stream at any Receipt Point, whether
removed by a coalescer or otherwise, for analysis at a laboratory of
MEP's choosing. If at any time PCBs or any other toxic substances or
chemicals that MEP deems hazardous and/or in any way unsafe for
transportation are found in the liquid samples supplied to MEP by
Shipper, MEP may in its sole discretion immediately cease the receipt
of such Gas and any associated liquids through its facilities. Upon
proof that such toxic or hazardous substances are no longer present
at levels deemed unsafe by MEP, MEP shall restore service to Shipper
at the affected Receipt Point.
19.3 SUSPENSION OF RECEIPTS
Should any Gas delivered by or on behalf of Shipper to
MEP at any Receipt Point fail at any time to conform to any of the
specifications provided for in this Section 19, MEP may, at its
option, suspend all or a portion of the receipt of any such Gas. MEP
shall be relieved of any of its obligations for the duration of such
suspension. Upon receipt of MEP's notice of such a failure, Shipper
shall make a diligent effort to correct the failure by treatment or
dehydration consistent with prudent operation so as to tender Gas
conforming to the specifications provided for in this Section 19.
19.4 NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS
Non-conforming Gas will likely enter MEP's system from
time-to-time. Once MEP becomes aware based on periodic quality
measurements that non-conforming Gas is entering its system, it will
promptly advise the Shipper(s) and point operators involved that the
Gas they are tendering is non-conforming, identifying the nature and
extent of the non-conformity, and that the Gas quality standards
herein must be met. Where operationally feasible, MEP will continue
to accept non-conforming Gas for a limited period of time while the
Shipper(s) or point operators involved take steps to adjust
operations so as to address the Gas quality issues. In addition,
where operationally feasible MEP may, from time to time, on a not
unduly discriminatory basis, accept non-conforming Gas to the extent
it is able to blend Gas received at Receipt Points, as long as MEP
reasonably anticipates, in its sole judgment, that such blended Gas
will not cause operational or downstream problems at its Delivery
Points.
