General Comments: Article IV, Section 4: "Pad Sites Unable to Connect to Hub: Encana intends to utilize the Hub for all Identified Pad Sites. However, Encana may not be able to utilize the Hub for certain of these Pad Sites due to inability to obtain pipeline rights-of-way and/or other matters outside Encana's reasonable control. For any such Pad Sites where Encana is unable to utilize the Hub, Encana may, after conferring with Erie, install hydrocarbon storage tanks and any other facilities necessary for the production of hydrocarbons at those locations. All other provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to any such Pad Sites." Local Government - Operator MOU
