25. CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RECEIPT OR DELIVERY FACILITIES
25.1 All requests for new interconnects must be made in writing. A
party requesting the new interconnect shall reimburse Steckman
Ridge or cause Steckman Ridge to be reimbursed for any and all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in constructing,
establishing or modifying the facilities required to establish a
new interconnection on existing facilities for receipt or delivery
of Gas hereunder. In the alternative, the party requesting the
interconnect may perform the construction at its own cost in
compliance with Steckman Ridge's technical requirements. In
addition to the above requirements, Steckman Ridge will agree to
construct a new interconnect or modify an existing interconnect on
the following terms:
(a) The construction of the new interconnect will not create any
significant operational problems for Steckman Ridge;
(b) The proposed interconnect will not adversely affect the
rendition of existing service or adversely alter the
operation of its facilities;
(c) The new interconnect must be at a mutually agreeable
location; provided, however, that Steckman Ridge may not
deny a Customer's request for specific placement of the
interconnect without adequate operational, environmental, or
legal justification;
(d) In order to properly and prudently design and size the new
interconnect, Steckman Ridge must be provided with
reasonable and reliable data concerning the interconnecting
facilities, including delivery pressures, and anticipated
hourly, daily, monthly and annual volume levels of the
service that supports the new interconnect and such other
data as is reasonably required to construct the interconnect
facility;
(e) The new interconnect must not result in any minimum pressure
receipt or delivery requirement by Steckman Ridge unless
Steckman Ridge agrees otherwise, such agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and Steckman Ridge shall not be
responsible for any downstream parties' facilities, the
operation or maintenance of such facilities, or the delivery
of any unauthorized volumes to the facilities;
(f) The service supporting the interconnect as well as the
construction of the new facilities must conform with the
provisions of Steckman Ridge's currently effective FERC Gas
Tariff as well as applicable regulatory requirements;
(g) The proposed interconnect must not cause Steckman Ridge to
be in violation of any applicable environmental or safety
laws or regulations with respect to the facilities required
to establish an interconnect with Steckman Ridge's existing
facilities; and
(h) The proposed interconnect must not cause Steckman Ridge to
be in violation of its right-of-way agreements or any other
contractual obligations with respect to the interconnect
facilities.
