GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
26. PRESSURE (Cont'd.)
(b) Shipper shall deliver gas or cause gas to be delivered to
Transporter at the receipt point(s) at a pressure
sufficient to allow the gas to enter Transporter's
pipeline, as such pressure shall vary from time to time,
provided, however, that such pressure shall not exceed any
maximum pressure determined by Transporter from time to
time. Transporter shall not be required to compress into
its pipeline gas transported under any rate schedule, or
otherwise change its normal pipeline operations. At each
receipt point, Shipper shall provide, or cause to be
provided, equipment acceptable to Transporter that will
prevent overpressuring of Transporter's pipeline.
Transporter and Shipper may agree to a specific minimum
receipt pressure for a stated period at any point or
points, below which Transporter is not obligated to receive
gas from or on behalf of Shipper, and where necessary, upon
specified conditions to ensure that such agreement does not
have any adverse effect on Transporter's system. If
Transporter and Shipper agree to a specific minimum receipt
point pressure obligation for a stated period, the pressure
obligation and any conditions will be specified in the
service agreement in the blank spaces provided in the Form
of Service Agreement. If Transporter and a Shipper are
unable to mutually agree upon a minimum pressure
commitment, Transporter will, upon request from that
Shipper, provide a written explanation concerning the
operational reasons for the denial.
(c) Transporter will not enter into minimum pressure
obligations or conditions that will adversely affect
Transporter's ability to meet its firm service obligations
to an existing Shipper.
