(a) Types of Operational Flow Orders
(1) Emergency System Maintenance - Pipeline may direct
Customers under any firm or interruptible Rate
Schedule to increase or decrease receipts of flowing
gas on a particular portion of the system in order to
accommodate required unscheduled maintenance.
(2) Extreme Conditions - For purpose of this Section
5.9(a)(2), an extreme condition exists on any portion
of Pipeline'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 Pipeline's effort to
maintain normal pressures, and further decline or
increase in operating pressures would impair
Pipeline's ability to receive or deliver quantities
of gas in accordance with its service obligations.
Pipeline may declare an extreme condition situation
for the affected portion of the system by notifying
the meter operator(s) and Customer(s) through its EBB
and/or IWWW and by telephone and/or facsimile
communication. Once declared, Pipeline will post
notification of the extreme condition on its EBB
and/or IWWW at the commencement of each Day until
Pipeline notifies the meter operator(s) and the
Customer(s) through the EBB and/or IWWW and telephone
and/or facsimile communication that the extreme
condition has ended. When an extreme condition is
declared to become effective at any time other then
the commencement of any Day, Customer(s) will use
their best efforts to bring deliveries to nominated
levels as soon as possible but in no event later then
two (2) hours, after which the Daily Scheduling Charge
provided for in Section 5.9(b)shall apply to variances
in excess of the 3% tolerance level.
(b) Daily Scheduling Charge - When Pipeline declares a System
Maintenance OFO as to any portion of its system, or if
necessary the entire system, the daily scheduling tolerance
level shall be 5% of the authorized delivery levels.
However, when Pipeline declares an Extreme Condition OFO as
to any portion of its system, the daily scheduling tolerance
level shall be 3% of the authorized delivery levels. The
Charge for variances beyond the tolerances levels as stated
in the OFO shall be:
(i) the greater of $5 or two times the Cash Out price as
defined in Paragraph 14.7(c) for each Dth which
exceeds authorized delivery levels by more
