COLUMBIA GULF TRANSMISSION COMPANY NOTICE TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES JANUARY 19, 2001 SUBJECT: NOTICE TO PARTIES DELIVERING OR CAUSING GAS TO BE DELIVERED TO COLUMBIA GULF TRANSMISSION COMPANY Pursuant to Section 25.2(a) of Columbia's tariff, Columbia is providing notice of the imposition of the following additional gas quality specification on all shippers, interconnecting pipelines, producers, and receipt meter operators, and all other parties delivering or causing gas to be delivered into Columbia's system: All gas tendered under Columbia's tariff shall have a gross heating value of no more than 1050 Btu per cubic foot. This additional gas quality specification will be imposed two (2) business days after this notice is posted on Columbia's internet electronic bulletin board. In addition to complying with this additional gas quality specification, all parties delivering or causing gas to be delivered into the Columbia-operated Blue Water system on the Western Shoreline, the Southwestern Extension, or on the Header (west of the system null point) may be required to provide evidence to Columbia that such gas is being processed at the Blue Water Processing Plant to ensure that the composite gas stream at Egan, Louisiana has a gross heating value of 1050 Btu or less. Evidence of the gas processing agreements may be required upon Columbia's request. Failure of a party to comply with the additional gas quality specification set forth above and to provide Columbia Gulf with evidence, upon request, of a gas processing agreement for gas delivered to the Blue Water system will result in Columbia Gulf refusing to accept gas from such party and to make corresponding redeliveries. Imposition of this additional gas quality specification does not relieve any party delivering gas or causing gas to be delivered to Columbia's system from its existing obligations to comply with the gas quality specifications set forth in Section 25.1 of Columbia's tariff, to ensure the merchantability of the gas, and to ensure that gas has been properly processed before entering Columbia's system. Columbia, pursuant to the terms of Section 25.2(a) of its tariff, is imposing this additional gas quality specification as it has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that harm to its pipeline system and its operations may occur if it receives gas on its system that fails to meet this additional gas quality specification. Columbia reserves the right to revise this additional gas quality specification upon further analysis of the gas that is being received by Columbia and reevaluation of the potential harm to Columbia's pipeline system and its operations. You are further placed on notice that Columbia will hold you responsible and seek legal redress for any damages it incurs as a result of the higher Btu gas. Any questions about this notice may be directed to Gary Espey, (713) 267-4761, or to John Pillion, (713) 267-4764.
