EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1
INTRODUCTION
This report is an analysis of the City of Las Cruces’ (City) natural gas high pressure
and high intermediate pressure networks for their ability to adequately supply the City’s
natural gas customers. The purpose of this report, with its supporting computer model, is to
provide Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) a basis to manage and understand the capabilities of the
existing gas system, provide a future demand projection and identify necessary immediate
and future phased system improvements.
It is beyond the scope of this master plan document to review operator qualification
procedures, forecast regulatory compliance issues, or evaluate system age and integrity
conditions. Each of these items will need to be considered in conjunction with the
distribution system modifications and improvements defined herein.
1.2
EXISTING SYSTEM
The City distributes natural gas to their customers with three distinct regulated
pressure levels, and is supplied by two transmission pipelines connected to the El Paso
Natural Gas (EPNG) transmission pipeline running east and west on the south side of the
City. The three pressure systems are high pressure (HP), high intermediate pressure (HIP)
and low pressure (LP). The high pressure system consists of 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch
coated steel gas pipelines that operate at a maximum pressure of 350 psig, and supplies
gas to both the HIP and LP systems using regulators to reduce the pressure of the gas as
needed. The HIP system is made up of 4” steel pipelines and similarly supplies the low
pressure system as well. The HIP system is currently being operated at 120 psig, but has
an operating range between 120 psig and 175 psig. The intent of the HIP system is to
enable an extension to densely populated areas and avoid a HP system extension wherever
possible. The LP system consists of gas pipelines 4 inches and smaller and is a mixture of
coated steel and polyethylene (PE) pipe. The majority of the LP system operates at
pressures less than 30 psig.
The City currently has 85 active regulator stations. The regulator stations are used to
reduce the gas pipeline pressures to distribute the gas to the three different pressure
systems. In some instances regulators are used to supply gas at a specific pressure to
meet the needs of an individual customer. The City uses a supervisory control and data
1
P:\20130141\LC\Reports\20130141-CLC-Gas-Masterplan-Final Draft.Docx
acquisition (SCADA) system at 19 regulator station to monitor and report pressure and flow
throughout the system. The 19 regulator stations equipped with SCADA monitoring
equipment are labeled on Figure 2.
1.3
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The recommended capital improvements are based on the anticipated gas
consumption during a peak event as the gas system expands and serves additional
customers through the year 2045. This long-term planning horizon was chosen to review the
potential system changes that will be necessary to more closely match the system 50 year
life expectancy and is possible due to the linear system nature from source to service. The
future improvements outlined in this report totals an estimated 110,000 feet of 12-inch steel
gas pipeline; 86,500 feet of 8-inch steel gas pipeline; 26,500 feet of 6-inch steel gas pipeline
and 11,500 feet of 4-inch steel gas pipeline. The costs associated with the capital
improvements should be used to develop and implement strategies to determine how these
improvements will be funded. The costs pertaining to the operation and maintenance of
these improvements are not included. Although these improvements are identified by a
specific year, in reality, these improvements are related to actual consumption demand
growth milestones. Some of the improvements can be implemented incrementally as those
specific areas develop. Currently the existing system has the means and capacity to
support the estimated design peak hour demand until 2025 with only minor improvements
occurring in 2020. These improvements are discussed in more detail in Section 4.3 and
Section 5. The anticipated present value capital cost for these improvements are as follows:

resolution is included in Appendix A.
2.2
HISTORICAL GROWTH RATES
A detailed population projection and analysis will not be presented in this report.
Instead, the growth rate presented in the Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Land Use
Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan 2011-2016 (IFCIP) by Duncan Associates will
be used as a basis for this report. The growth rate was estimated to be 1.86%.
The City provides gas service to customers both inside and outside the current city
limits. Because of this, a portion of the projected growth of the gas system will occur in
areas outside of the city limits would not be reflected in the growth rate for the City.
Essentially the gas system will not only grow along with the City but will have an added
growth effect from the surrounding county area as well. For this reason, an annual growth
rate of 2.0% will be used for projecting the gas demands on the City’s gas system.
2.3
HISTORICAL NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION
Historical metered gas consumption data, provided by the City and shown in Table 1,
in thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for the years 2005 thru 2011. There are five gas user classes
to describe the consumption; residential, small commercial, large commercial, irrigation and
industrial. While there are multiple factors that influence gas demand on the system and will
be discussed in Section 2.4, the total gas consumption will typically increase in conjunction
with the growth of the City.

For the purposes of designing and planning the gas system average flowrates
calculated from historical flow data over any number of time intervals can be used, but the
most significant factor in the design and planning of a gas system is the peak hour flow.
4
The peak hour flow is the amount of gas demand put on the gas system infrastructure by its
users in any one hour time interval. It is usually measured in dekatherms per hour (Dth/h) or
thousand cubic feet per hour (Mcfh). For municipal gas systems with a small industrial
consumption, this peak hour flow typically will take place in the winter months of December,
January or February.
The City utilizes supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment to
monitor the flow and pipeline pressures at gas regulator stations throughout the gas system.
The SCADA equipment monitors the telemetry data and on an hourly basis reports the
flowrate and/or pipeline pressure depending on the SCADA capabilities for these locations.
Shown in Figure 2 are the locations of the gas regulator stations that have SCADA
equipment installed. There are two regulator stations equipped with SCADA equipment that
measure the total incoming flow and pressure from EPNG that supplies the City’s gas
system. These are located at the Tillman/West Mesa Regulator Station (#19) and the
Carver Regulator Station (#17). Based on this data from these locations the highest peak
hour flow coming into the City’s gas system from 2004 to 2012 has been recorded at 2,434
Mcfh, which occurred February 3, 2011. This peak hour flow coincided with lower than
normal temperatures over a 3 day period and was summarized in the Las Cruces Utilities
Report on Weather Emergency Response February 2 -4, 2011.
2.4
FACTORS EFFECTING NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION
Almost all gas use for residential and commercial consumption is from space heating,
food preparation and gas powered appliances such as water heaters and clothes dryers.
The amount of gas used for food preparation and appliances generally stays consistent
throughout the year but the gas consumption for space heating varies greatly between the
summer months and winter months. Industrial gas use can vary from one industrial user to
another and is not necessarily influenced by the weather but by the needs of the individual
user, and can vary dramatically from one industrial customer to another. This makes it
difficult to forecast future industrial usage.
Shown in Figure 3 is a graph of the monthly gas consumption from 2005 to 2011. It
shows the correlation between outdoor temperature and gas consumption. During the
warmer months of May through October, the gas consumption is generally consistent and
represents the period of lowest consumption for the year, while during the colder months of

November through April the gas consumption increases and peaks during the coldest
months of December, January or February.
As shown in Figure 3 there is a correlation between temperature and gas
consumption. One way to describe this relationship is using a term called heating degree
days. A heating degree day is defined as the difference between the average temperature
over a time interval and a set base temperature. Typically the time interval is 1 day and the
base temperature is 65oF. This relationship is based on the idea that the heat loss of an
enclosed space is directly proportional to the difference in the indoor and outdoor
temperatures. According to the American Gas Association’s Gas Engineering and
Operating Practices Series for Distribution the base temperature of 65oF was established in
1917 and was selected under the assumption that occupants and other non-space heating
sources (cooking, lighting, etc.) maintain a comfortable interior temperature above 65oF.
2.5
2.5.1
PROJECTED NATURAL GAS DEMAND
HEATING DEGREE DAYS
To determine the correlation between heating degree days and temperature, the
historical gas demand and temperature data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) for Las Cruces was analyzed. Temperature data from the NOAA
was available from 1960 to present day and historical daily gas consumption was available
from EPNG from 1997 to current. Shown in Figure 4 is a truncated graph of the historical
heating degree days and total daily gas consumption. The highest heating degree day is
labeled for each year.
Since the total gas consumption will also change not only with outdoor temperatures
but as well as with the number of gas customers, it is more accurate to compare the gas
consumption and heating degree days on a per customer basis. The daily gas consumption
per customer per day from 2004 to 2012 was calculated from the total system consumption
and the total number of customers specific to each day. This data was plotted against the
corresponding heating degree days to determine a relationship that can be used for
forecasting the future natural gas maximum day demand. This plot along with the linear
regression of the data is shown in Figure 5 and the source data is included in the Appendix.
The linear regression equation was used to estimate the total daily gas consumption per
customer during the design heating degree event.

The historical temperature data from the NOAA was analyzed to calculate heating
degree values back to 1960 to see if there was a day which had lower temperatures than
what was experienced in February 2011. In 1962 there was a day with a high temperature
of 18oF and a low temperature of -10oF and results in a 61 heating degree day event, which
is higher than the most recent peak of 56 heating degree days in February 2011. The
design heating degree day for this report was calculated by averaging the two highest
historical heating degree days of 56 and 61. A 10% safety factor was also applied because
of the limited historical data and the unreliable nature of predicting long term temperatures.
As a basis for this report, 64 heating degree days will be used in the analysis.
2.5.2
GROWTH PROJECTIONS
As discussed in Section 2.2, a growth rate of 2.0% will be used to project the total
number of residential and small commercial gas services. Shown in Table 2 is the projected
number of gas services and the corresponding population served by the City’s gas system.

PEAKING FACTORS
A peaking factor is a ratio used to describe the relationship between an average gas
demand and a peak gas demand. For this report the peak hour demand is being used as
the basis for planning and analyzing both the existing gas system and the future gas
system. The peaking factor will be based on ratio of the historical average hour demands
11
(AHD) and the corresponding peak hour demands (PHD). Shown in Table 3 are the 10
highest daily flows reported by the City’s SCADA system. Using these daily flows, the
average hourly flow was calculated and compared to the peak hour flows for the
corresponding days. On these particular ten days the peaking factor ranged from 1.10 to
1.62, with an average peaking factor of 1.3. A peaking factor of 1.3 will be used for the peak
hour gas demand projections.

NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION PROJECTIONS
Using the calculated maximum daily gas consumption per customer and heating
degree days from Section 2.5 the maximum day demand (MDD) and average hourly
demand (AHD) can be calculated for the growth projections in Section 2.5.2. These
projected demands will be used along with a peaking factor to determine the estimated peak
hour demand on the system as the gas system continues to grow. Shown in Table 4 are the
projected peak hour demands during a heating degree day event of 64.

Since the Afton and Tillman delivery points are supplied by the same EPNG pipeline
the minimum and maximum pressures should be similar. From the table above there are
cases where the differences are large, particularly the minimum pressure at the Tillman and
Afton delivery points for the years 2008 through 2010. These discrepancies were brought to
the attention of EPNG to see if they coincided with any similar events involving EPNG
equipment, including nearby compressor stations. Their records do not show any drops in
pressure that coincide with the unusually low pressures in Table 5 . The low pressure
readings were not sustained and returned to normal in subsequent readings and should not
be a concern that would have a long-term effect on the City’s gas system.
Another property of the gas supplied by EPNG to take into consideration is the gas
heating value. The gas heating value is used to measure the quality of the gas being
supplied. It is measured in British thermal units per cubic feet (Btu/ft3) and is essentially the
amount of potential heating energy in a cubic foot of gas. From records provided by EPNG
the heating value of the gas supplied to the City has ranged from 1,020 Btu/ft3 to 1,040
Btu/cf3. 1,020 Btu/ft3 will be used to convert dekatherms (Dth) to thousand cubic feet of gas
(Mcf) and vice versa in the gas model for this report.
3.2
NATURAL GAS TRANSMISSION
The City has two natural gas transmission pipelines, Tillman and Afton, and they have
historically been operated at the pressures shown in Table 5. As defined by the federal
pipeline safety standards, transmission pipelines are defined as pipelines transporting
natural gas and operate at a hoop stress of 20 percent or greater of the specified minimum
yield strength (SMYS). The Tillman transmission pipeline is an 8-inch steel pipe with a
length of approximately 46,000 feet. It carries gas from the EPNG transmission pipeline to
the Tillman/West Mesa Regulator Station at a pressure creating a hoop stress greater than
20 percent SMYS. The Afton transmission pipeline is a 12-inch steel pipe with an
approximate length of 59,000 feet. It carries gas from the EPNG transmission pipeline to
the Carver Regulator Station and also operators at a pressure creating a hoop stress
greater than 20 percent SMYS. The two transmission pipelines are labeled in Figure 6.
3.3
NATURAL GAS HIGH AND HIGH INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION
Displayed in Figure 6 is the City’s gas system showing the transmission, high pressure
and high intermediate pressure distribution pipelines. The City’s high pressure (HP) natural
gas distribution system begins at the Tillman Regulator Station which is fed from the Tillman
transmission pipeline and at the Carver Regulator Station is fed from the Afton transmission
14
pipeline. The City’s high pressure distribution network is made up of 4-inch, 6-inch and 8inch steel pipelines and operates at pressures less than 350 psi.
The City’s high intermediate (HIP) distribution system consists of 4” steel pipelines
and according to the pressures reported by the City’s SCADA system, the HIP pipe network
is currently being operated at 120 psi to 125 psi. The HIP system is supplied by the City’s
high pressure pipelines through regulator stations reducing the gas pipeline pressure to less
than 125 psi.
3.4
GAS REGULATOR STATIONS
The City currently has 85 regulator stations in service and allows the City to maintain
three different pressure networks in their system by reducing the pipeline pressures feeding
into them to supply gas to the high pressure, high intermediate and low pressure distribution
pipe networks. The outlet pressure of a regulator valve is also called the set pressure. This
is the maximum pressure that the gas regulator will provide to the downstream pipe. The
typical set pressures of the regulator valves for the three pressure networks are as follows:
high pressure = 340 psi; high intermediate pressure = 120 psi; low pressure = 30 psi and 15
psi. In some instances a regulator station is used to supply gas at a specific pressure to
meet the needs of an individual user that cannot be met directly from one of the existing
pressure networks. The regulator stations also serve as logical and convenient locations to
install SCADA equipment for monitoring the performance of the gas system.

GAS DELIVERY AGREEMENTS
ZIA GAS
In April 2011 Rio Grande Natural Gas Association, along with the agreement with the
City, was acquired by Zia Gas Company (Zia Gas). The agreement stipulates that the City
must provide up to 15,000 dekatherms (Dth) per day to the Zia Gas system. When
converted to a flowrate, the 15,000 Dth requires an estimated 14,700 Mcf per day to meet
the terms of the agreement. Currently, there is only one location that connects the two
systems together. It is located at the Martinez Regulator Station and a dedicated gas
regulator is used to feed the Zia gas system. This regulator is currently set to open when
the downstream pipeline pressure drops below 300 psi. As part of the North Loop 8” High
Pressure Distribution Gas Pipeline Project, a 6” tap was built near the intersection of North
Valley Drive and the Las Cruces Outfall Channel intended to be used by the then RGNGA
system.
There are two locations that supply gas to the Zia gas system that are metered. One
is located in Chamberino and monitors the gas flow being supplied directly by EPNG; the
second location is at the Martinez Regulator Station as discussed above. Together these
two locations make up the total gas consumption in the Zia gas system. Up to and including
2011, the City has SCADA flow data for the two locations. According to the SCADA data
provided by the City, the peak day demand for the entire Zia gas system was 9,950 Mcf
(10,150 Dth) and occurred in February 2011. Of that 9,950 Mcf peak day flow; there was a
total of 6,650 Mcf that was supplied through the Martinez Regulator Station, which is 45% of
the City’s supply agreement with Zia Gas.
During the winter months or high demand times, the Zia Gas system has historically
accounted for approximately 10% to 15% of the City’s total peak hour flows. If the Zia Gas
system demands grow at a similar rate as the City’s and continues to contribute to the City’s
peak hour flow at a similar ratio, the upper limit of the agreement will be met at some point
beyond 2050, unless Zia Gas changes operational parameters or has an issue develop with
the EPNG direct connection pipeline. The estimated peak hour flow supplied to the Zia Gas
system at that time would be 920 Mcfh using the same peaking factor of 1.3.
Shown in
Table 6 are the portions of the City’s total projected peak hour flows, from Table 4, that is
attributed to Zia Gas and customers of the City gas system.

MISCELLANEOUS AGREEMENTS
Along with Zia Gas, the City also has agreements in place to provide gas to high
consumption users and must meet agreed upon conditions with respect to gas quality,
pressure and quantity. These contracts and agreements are summarized below and the full
agreements are provided in Appendix A.
F&A Dairy is located in the West Mesa Industrial Complex, and receives gas through
an original distribution agreement with RGNGA that ended in 2002, but has been autorenewing every year since. Per the agreement, the City must provide within 10% of the
requested pressure at the delivery point but is not obligated to provide more than 60 psig.
Currently the City is providing approximately 50 psig during peak events to the F&A Dairy
delivery point. The maximum daily quantity for F&A Dairy is 700 Dth, or approximately 686
Mcf. The quality of the gas should be equivalent to that which is provided by EPNG to the
City.
The agreement with NASA Goddard Facility has been in place since 1963 and was
originally made with RGNGA. The City must provide a minimum pressure of 45 psig to the
delivery point located approximately 5 miles north of Highway 70 along NASA Road, which
is at the extreme east side of the distribution system. The City is not obligated to provide
gas pressure above 55 psig, the heating value of the gas shall not be less than 900 Btu/ft3
and there is no specified maximum daily quantity. Historically the City has been able to
provide pressure above 210 psig during peak events.
The current agreement with New Mexico State University (NMSU) has been in effect
since December 1, 2009 and expires November 30, 2014. NMSU has two systems in which
18
the City provides gas, the University’s distribution system and cogeneration plant. The
minimum pressure the city must provide to the NMSU distribution system must be within
10% of the requested pressure but no more than 55 psig. The required minimum pressure
supplied to the cogeneration plant is 190 psig and a maximum of 230 psig. During peak
events the City has been able to maintain pressures above 100 psig for the distribution
supply and above 280 psig for the cogeneration supply.

GAS SYSTEM MODEL
4.1
OVERVIEW
In order to verify and recommend future improvements to the City’s high pressure gas
system a computer model of the gas system was created. The gas modeling software used
was GasWorks 9.0 developed by Bradley Bean, P.E. and is used by City staff. GasWorks
utilizes steady-state conditions for analysis and design of the gas network components. A
steady-state condition is defined as set of parameters and properties that remain unchanged
in the model during the analysis. In this model the steady-state conditions are that the
customer consumption demands do not change over a time period, instead the consumption
demand placed on the system is during a specific hour.
4.1.1
MODEL DEVELOPMENT
The first step was to develop and calibrate a model in GasWorks that would mimic the
behavior of the existing high pressure and high intermediate pressure gas system under
historical conditions. This method of calibration would verify that the model is operating
correctly and the analysis results are comparable to historical performance data. Three
dates and times were chosen to calibrate the model by comparing pressure and flow data
from the SCADA system and model results. The three dates chosen were February 3, 2011
8:00AM, August 1, 2011 1:00PM and December 7, 2011 7:00AM. February 3rd and
December 7th were chosen because they were the two highest historical peak hour flows
since the agreement with RGNGA and represent the gas system’s current configuration.
The August 1st date was chosen to see how the model behaved during low flow conditions.
The model calibration result tables for the three dates specified are provided in
Appendix B. The tables show the flow (if available), inlet, and outlet pressures for each of
the regulator stations and compare what is reported by the SCADA and to what was
calculated in the model. The model was considered calibrated when it was able recreate
the flowrates and regulator inlet pressures reported by the SCADA system when only the
19
number of customers were changed to reflect the actual number of customers for each
specific calibration date.
The physical components of the model were built using information provided by the
City. This included GIS files for the size, type and location of the gas pipelines and regulator
stations. SCADA and field measurements by City personnel were used for the outlet
pressures of the regulator stations. While the low pressure pipelines were not the focus of
this report, specific segments were used to connect the regulator stations and to model the
flow paths between the regulator stations. Most of the low pressure pipes in the model are
the main 4-inch distribution pipelines with some 2-inch pipes to complete low pressure
loops. This was done because most the City’s gas system is looped and can be supplied
with gas from more than one direction and, as such, multiple regulator stations contribute to
supplying gas to a specific area.
The peak hour flowrates for each of the calibration dates were used in the model by
separating the City into consumption zones, as well as, individual industrial and large
commercial customers. The consumption zones were determined by visual inspection of the
low pressure pipeline network to see what areas of the City contributed the most to the
demands put on individual regulator stations. This allowed the model to be loaded with gas
consumption demands representative of the total individual customer demands in each zone
without having individual customer nodes for every customer in the City’s gas system. The
amount of gas consumption in each zone varied depending on the specific calibration date’s
peak hour flowrate and the total number of parcels within the zone with existing structures
on them. Parcels with existing structures were considered occupied and contributing
demand on the gas system for the model. Shown in Figure 7 are the consumption zones
used in the model.
4.1.2 FUTURE GROWTH
The estimated future demands on the City’s gas system were incorporated into the
model to identify capital improvements for the City’s gas system infrastructure. The
anticipated routes of the future high pressure distribution pipelines were provided by the City
and shown in Figure 8. One of the goals of this report is to determine the size of high
pressure distribution pipelines required to provide the necessary capacity to the City’s gas
system as it continues to expand. In order to do this, customers were added to the model in
locations that match the growth areas as determined by LCU. These growth areas were

2 and peak hour projections in Table 4.

4.2.1
ANALYSIS CRITERIA
SUPPLY
EPNG is responsible for providing natural gas to the City, however, the agreement
that is in place between the City and EPNG does not require that EPNG supply a minimum
pressure to the City. Historically the gas pressures provided by EPNG to the City have been
sufficient to meet the demands of the City’s gas system. City staff indicated that there has
not been a situation where the EPNG supply pressures have been detrimental to the City’s
gas system. For this report and gas system model, 560 psig was used as the pressure at
the “gates” supplying the city. This pressure is what EPNG was able to supply during past
peak events and it is assumed that EPNG will continue to be able to provide similar
pressures for future peak events.
4.2.2
PRESSURES
According to the LCU Design Standards, there is no minimum pressure for the
operation of the high pressure and high intermediate pressure distribution networks. For the
purpose of this report and system model it is assumed that as long as the inlet pressures at
the regulator stations are above the currently set outlet pressures there will not be negative
impacts on the City’s gas customers.
Currently the City has agreements in place that obligates them to supply a minimum
pressure to specific customers as discussed in Section 3.5. The pressure requirements of
the gas delivery agreements the City has and inlet pressures at regulator stations
downstream of the high pressure network will be used to evaluate the gas system model
results to dictate recommendations for the sizing of future gas pipelines as well as
improvements to existing infrastructure.

4.3.1
FUTURE PROJECTED SYSTEM AT DESIGN HEATING DEGREE DAY
EXISTING SYSTEM
The estimated system demands for the design heating degree day of 64 were loaded
in the gas model of the existing system to analyze the current system’s capability to supply
gas for this peak event. From the model results the inlet pressure at the Martinez Regulator
Station was 270 psi, which is below the 330 psi set pressure for the North and South Loop
regulators. However, there were no locations in the HIP or LP networks where the inlet
pressure at a regulator station was lower than the regulator’s set pressure. Also, the
pressures required by the City’s delivery agreements were able to be met, therefore no
improvements are necessary for the current service population and a design heating degree
day of 64. The pressure and flow results at the regulator stations from the model are
provided in Appendix C.
4.3.2
2015 SYSTEM RESULTS
The future demands estimated in Section 2.5 were implemented by increasing the
demands on the system corresponding to the growth estimates starting with 2015 and every
five years after that. When the estimated demand in 2015 was loaded in the gas system
model the results were similar to those in Section 4.3.1. The 258 psi inlet pressure at the
Martinez Regulator Station was below the set pressure of 330 psi for the North and South
Loop regulators, but this did not cause any pressure problems at any downstream regulator
stations. Pressure requirements for the City’s delivery agreements were able to be
adequately met. The 2015 system model results with these improvements are included in
Appendix C.
4.3.3
2020 SYSTEM RESULTS
The 2020 estimated growth and gas loads were loaded into the model and again
experienced similar results described in Section 4.3.1 and Section 4.3.2. The inlet pressure
for the Martinez Regulator Station was 233 psi. However, at this point there was insufficient
pressure in the high pressure distribution pipeline along Highway 70 to supply the necessary
pressure to the NASA Regulator Station. These results are included in Appendix C.
One method to remedy the low pressure problems at the NASA Regulator Station is to
increase the inlet pressure at the Martinez Regulator Station. This can be done by removing
the Martinez South Loop regulator, while leaving the isolation valves in place. This would
24
allow additional capacity to be supplied to Martinez from the Carver Regulator Station, using
the existing 8-inch/6-inch high pressure distribution pipeline that runs along Motel
Boulevard. The south loop regulator currently does not serve a function other than to
provide redundancy in the event both regulators at the Carver Regulator Station fail or need
maintenance on them. The south loop regulator was installed prior to the Carver Regulator
Station and Afton transmission pipeline were put in place and fed gas to the southern side of
the city. Currently the Carver Regulator Station is serving that function and the south loop
regulator is now redundant.
Implementing this improvement increases the inlet pressure into the Martinez
Regulator Station to 288 psi and corrects the low inlet pressure at the NASA Regulator
Station to meet the requirements of the City’s agreement with NASA. The 2020 system
model results with this improvement implemented is included in Appendix C.
4.3.4
2025 SYSTEM RESULTS
The estimated gas demands for 2025 were loaded into the model along with the
improvements mentioned in the previous section. The additional demands caused inlet
pressures at regulator stations along Highway 70 to drop below their set outlet pressures.
The regulator stations along Highway 70 affected were Holman, Hanger Lake, Galaxy,
Butterfield #1 and #2, NASA, Organ #1 and Organ #2. The results of the 2025 system
model are included in Appendix C.
In order to correct the low pressure problems along Highway 70, two scenarios were
tested to see which one would be the most beneficial. One of the scenarios included
upgrading existing infrastructure and the other scenario included building part of the
proposed high pressure distribution network that will be extended to the east side of the city.
The first scenario tested in the model was to return the high pressure distribution pipeline
from the West Mesa Regulator Station to a transmission pipeline. This would bring the
pressure of the Tillman transmission pipeline all the way to the Martinez Regulator Station.
This scenario also includes upgrading the 6-inch portion of the high pressure pipeline from
the Carver Regulator Station to the Martinez Regulator Station to an 8-inch pipeline. This
segment parallels Motel Boulevard from Avenida de Mesilla to Picacho Avenue where it
turns and continues to the Martinez Regulator Station. When these two improvements to
the existing infrastructure were tested in the gas model the results showed that they did not
correct the low pressure problems along Highway 70.
25
The second scenario that was tested in the model consisted of extending a 6-inch high
pressure distribution pipeline along Calle Jitas Boulevard from Sonoma Ranch Boulevard to
the future extension of Weisner Road, identified as Line 4 in Figure 8. Approximately 1,600
feet of this pipeline is already in place along Calle Jitas. From this point the pipeline size
would be increased to a 12-inch pipe pipeline and be installed parallel to what will be
Weisner Road to Highway 70 where it would connect to the existing HP pipeline. This
segment is identified as Line 5 in Figure 8. As a result of the improvements of the second
scenario, the low pressure problems along Highway 70 were corrected. These results are
included in Appendix C.
4.3.5
2030 SYSTEM RESULTS
The estimated gas demands estimated for 2030 in Section 2.5 were input into the
model and again resulted in insufficient pressures at regulator stations located along
Highway 70. These regulator stations included Butterfield #1, Butterfield #2, NASA, Organ
#1 and Organ #2. The results of the 2030 system model are included in Appendix C.
Although inadequate pressures are being reported for the Highway 70 areas, the
Tillman and Carver transmission pipelines still contain additional capacity and have not yet
been maximized. The pressures in both pipelines are above the necessary pressures to
ensure that the inlet pressures are above the outlet pressures at the respective regulator
stations. However, the existing 8-inch high pressure loop around the City cannot provide
the necessary pressure to the northeastern section of the City at the current maximum
operating pressure of 340 psig. In order to maximize the capacity of the existing 12-inch
Afton transmission pipeline, a new 12-inch transmission pipeline would be tapped from the
Afton transmission pipeline on Snow Road and extended southeast to the southern edge of
the City’s current service area. This pipeline section is identified as Line 1 in Figure 8. A
new regulator station would need to be built to reduce the pipeline pressure to 340 psig,
where a new 12-inch/8-inch high pressure distribution pipeline would be built to connect to
the existing 8-inch high pressure gas pipeline on Dripping Springs Road. These sections of
pipe pipeline are identified as Line 2 and Line 3, respectively, on Figure 8. With these
improvements the inadequate pressures occurring along Highway 70 are corrected. The
results of the 2030 system model with these improvements implemented are included in
Appendix C.
26
Another option that could be investigated to maximize the capacity of the transmission
pipelines is increasing the operating pressure of the high pressure distribution network,
specifically increasing the set pressure of the Carver and West Mesa Regulator Stations.
This scenario was tested on the 2030 system model and it was found that if the set pressure
of the Carver Regulator Station was increased to 380 psig, the inadequate pressures along
Highway 70 were resolved. Making this change to the Carver Station regulators could
potentially push the need of the new 12-inch transmission pipeline described in the previous
paragraph farther into the future. An analysis of the existing high pressure distribution
network would need to be completed to determine what the MAOP is of each pipeline within
the high pressure distribution network. If historical information is not available to document
the original testing, then the MAOP would need to be re-established based on the criteria
set in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Section 192.611.
4.3.6
2035 SYSTEM RESULTS
The estimated system gas demands for 2035 were input into the system gas model
with the previously discussed improvements, and resulted in inadequate pressure at the
NASA Regulator Station. The results of the 2035 model are included in Appendix C.
In order to provide adequate pressure to the NASA regulator the remaining 12-inch
segment of the East Mesa High Pressure Distribution Loop would need to be built. This
segment is identified as Line 6 on Figure 8. With this improvement implemented into the
2035 system model the low pressure problem was corrected and the results are included in
Appendix C.
4.3.7
2040 AND 2045 SYSTEM RESULTS
With the improvements discussed in the previous sections, the City’s high pressure
gas distribution system would provide sufficient capacity to maintain the necessary
pressures to meet the estimated peak demands through 2045 based on the design heating
degree day of 64. The system model results for the years 2040 and 2045 are included in
Appendix C.

NATURAL GAS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
5.1
FINANCIAL CRITERIA
The following cost estimates are using present worth values for the anticipated efforts
needed to complete the respective improvements. Not included in these cost estimates are
27
additional trenching or earthwork that could be required in order to install the gas lines in
undeveloped areas that are also planned future roadways. The horizontal and vertical
alignments of the planned roadways would need to be considered prior to installing these
pipelines. It is assumed that the future pipelines will be installed in established right-of-ways
and not within private lands, therefore land acquisition is not included in these cost
estimates. The soft costs included in the cost estimates are for the engineering and
administrative tasks associated with the improvement.
5.2
2020 SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
It is recommended that in order to adequately supply gas to the Highway 70 area and
to comply with the gas delivery agreement the City has with NASA, that the improvements
discussed in Section 4.3.3 be implemented by 2020. The south loop regulator at the
Martinez Regulator Station would need to be removed as this would allow the Carver
Regulator Station to provide additional pressure to the Martinez Station. This will also help
to take advantage of the available capacity of the 12-inch Afton Transmission pipeline.
5.3
Based on the estimated growth and gas loads, by 2020 the City’s existing high
pressure distribution pipelines will struggle to maintain adequate pressures in parts of the
City during a peak event. Most of the low pressure problems will occur at the regulator
stations along Highway 70 and will continue to be as the City’s gas system grows. Based
on the areas of growth shown in Figure 8, a high percentage of growth will occur north of
Highway 70 and the infrastructure in those areas will need to be supplied with sufficient
pressure in order to do so.
As discussed in Section 4.3.4 a second connection, identified as pipelines 4 and 5 in
Figure 8, to the 6-inch/4-inch high pressure distribution pipeline along Highway 70 would
help mitigate the low pressures. The 6-inch high pressure distribution pipeline along Calle
Jitas would be approximately 26,500 feet and the 12-inch high pressure distribution pipeline
along what will be Weisner Road would be approximately 18,500 feet. A summary of the
estimated cost is shown in Table 7.

In order to maximize the capacity of the 12-inch Afton transmission pipeline, it would
need to be tapped with another 12-inch transmission pipeline that can bring transmission
pipeline pressures to the eastern side of the City. The new 12-inch transmission pipeline
(Line 1 shown on Figure 8) would be approximately 43,000 feet where the pressure would
be reduced to 340 psig through a new regulator station. From the regulator station, a new
12-inch high pressure distribution pipeline (Line 2 shown on Figure 8), approximately 22,000
feet, would be built to Dripping Springs Road. A new 8-inch high pressure distribution
pipeline (Line 3 shown in Figure 8) would be built to connect the 12-inch HP pipeline to the
existing 8-inch high pressure distribution network along Dripping Springs Road. A summary
of costs for these improvements is shown in Table 8.

As discussed in Section 4.3.6 in order to provide sufficient capacity to the City’s gas
system to meet the estimated demands in 2035, the last section of the 12-inch high
pressure distribution pipeline, identified as pipeline 6 in Figure 8, should be built. This would
complete the recommended improvements to the City’s high pressure distribution system
required to meet the estimated demands during a peak event though at least 2045. The
estimated cost of implementing the 12” high pressure gas pipeline is shown in Table 9.

MISCELLANEOUS SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Lines 7, 8, and 9 identified in Figure 8, should be built as development in those areas
expands north and additional regulator stations are needed to supply low pressure gas to
those developments. Lines 8 and 9 would be extensions of existing high pressure gas
pipelines and line 7 would be a new high pressure gas pipeline being fed from the 4-inch
high pressure pipeline that is parallel to Highway 70 and eventually the new 12-inch high
pressure gas pipeline. The transmission pipeline identified as line 10 in Figure 8 would
provide a redundant supply to the West Mesa/Tillman Regulator Station that could be
utilized when maintenance is needed on the Tillman transmission pipeline or if an
emergency shut-down on the pipeline occurred. This connection between the Afton and
Tillman transmission pipelines would also help maximize the capacity of the Tillman
transmission pipeline. Shown in Table 10 are the estimated costs associated with building
each of the high pressure gas pipelines as well as the transmission pipeline.

BACKGROUND I KEY ISSUES I CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: Rio Grande Natural Gas
Association ("Association") is a non-profit natural gas association established in 1969
pursuant to state statutes by the Village of Hatch ("Village") and the City of Las Cruces
("City") (collectively the "Owners"). In 2005, the Owners and the Association approved
resolutions stating that the Owners owned the Association assets jointly and in equal
shares.
The Owners appointed a task force in June 2008 to develop and recommend alternatives
for the future operation and management of the Association. The task force analyzed
several alternatives and presented them to the Owners. The preliminary recommendation
selected by the Owners (1) would transfer about 93 commercial customers and about 6,000
residential customers from the Association to the City, (2) would obligate the City to pay
$1.2 million to pay off the Association's outstanding bonds, and (3) would give the City 10%
ownership in the reorganized Association.
After the preliminary recommendation was further examined, City staff concluded that it
would be preferable for the City to relinquish a 10% ownership interest in the reorganized
Association in exchange for not having to pay $1.2 million for the bonds. In the revised
recommendation set forth in this Resolution, the Village would own 100% of the
(Continue on additional sheets as required)
Rev. 09/2008
Page2
reorganized Association and would have full control of the new Association Board. If the
reorganized Association is thereafter sold, the Village would be solely entitled to the sales
proceeds.
Under both the preliminary and revised recommendations for reorganizing the Association,
the primary goal of staff has been to transfer Association customers within the City limits to
the City, and to insure that the City would be the natural gas provider within the newly
annexed East Mesa and West Mesa areas and within most of the extraterritorial five mile
zone around the existing City limits. The proposed Resolution implements that goal.
The original Articles of Incorporation (also referred to as the Certificate of Association)
established the Association in 1969 and provided for a service area. The Owners by
adopting comparable resolutions will provide for a revised service area for the reorganized
Association as set forth in Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2" to this Resolution. The existing
Association Board of Directors consisting of three (3) City appointees and three (3) Village
appointees will amend the 1969 Articles of Incorporation to provide for the revised service
area. The City's proposed geographic service area would generally include all areas within
the existing City limits (except for a limited area along Carver Road), New Mexico State
University, the Aldershot facility off of South Main Street, and most of the ETZ. The
reorganized Association's proposed geographic service area would generally include the
north and south valley, the Town of Mesilla, the Picacho Hills area, and areas outside of the
City's service area. The respective service areas are shown in detail on Resolution
Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2".
If the Council approves this Resolution and if the Village Trustees approve a resolution fully
compatible with this Resolution, the City and the reorganized Association will need to
(1) draft a long term natural gas transportation agreement which will be approved by the
Utilities Board on behalf of the City; (2) develop a final implementation plan for the
reorganization including technical provisions for the transfer of customers; and
(3) implement the plan. The City as fiscal agent will assist the Association in retiring the
outstanding revenue bond at the Association's sole expense, which needs to be
accomplished before existing Association customers can be transferred to the City.
City staff has worked diligently and cooperatively with representatives on behalf of the
Village to draft this Resolution. Staff expects the Village to adopt a fully compatible
resolution if the Council approves this Resolution.
The City Council conducted a work session on Monday, June 14, on the proposed
reorganization which was attended by representatives of the Village and of the Association.
The information submitted to the Council for the work session included a draft copy of the
proposed Resolution.
Council directed staff to bring the Resolution forward for
consideration. There have been minor changes made to the Resolution since that date.
Therefore, the Resolution is attached as support information in both final form and in
legislative format showing the changes since June 14, 2010.

RESOLUTION NO. 11-009
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE REORGANIZATION OF RIO GRANDE
NATURAL GAS ASSOCIATION AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
The City Council of the City of Las Cruces is informed that:
WHEREAS, Rio Grande Natural Gas Association ("Association") was formed as
a non-profit corporation and inter-community natural gas association in 1969 pursuant
to NMSA 1953, Sections 14-27-1 through 14-27-18, which sections were re-codified as
NMSA 1978, Sections 3-28-1 through 3-28-22, with the Village of Hatch ("Village") and
the City of Las Cruces ("City") (collectively the "Owners") as the original members and
owners; and
WHEREAS, Village Resolution No. 645 and City Resolution No. 05-243A
provided in part that the assets of the Association in their entirety are jointly and in
equal shares owned by the City and the Village. City Resolution No. 05-243A further
provided that the City would commit to entering into good faith discussions with the
Village to resolve several critical issues, including amending or changing the corporate
organization of the Association, redefining membership of the Association's Board of
Directors, establishing definitive fiscal agency authorization, and establishing a
definitive mechanism for the sale of Association customers and related tangible and
intangible assets to the City through payment or other consideration to the Association;
and
WHEREAS, the Association's Board of Directors thereafter approved an
amendment in Resolution RG-05-09, which amendment provided that, upon
dissolution, all assets of the Association shall be owned in severalty by the City and the
Village as tenants in common with each Owner owning 50% therein; and
WHEREAS, the Owners appointed a Task Force in June 2008 to develop and
recommend alternatives for the future operation and management of the Association.
The Task Force reviewed and analyzed several alternatives which were presented to the
Owners. The alternative selected by the Owners in September 2009 would reorganize
the Association by transferring all of the Association customers within the City limits
and some of the Association customers within parts of the Extraterritorial Zone ("ETZ")
to the City, and by amending the Association's certificate of association (also referred to
as the Association's articles of incorporation) and bylaws to reflect the proposed change
in ownership interest and in the composition of the Board of Directors as provided
below; and
WHEREAS, the Owners recognize that in order to reorganize the Association the
Association's bonded debt needs to be paid; and
WHEREAS, the Association retained the services of Sunrise Engineering, Inc. to
perform a viability study for the reorganized Association under the task force's
recommended reorganization plan selected by the Owners; and
WHEREAS, the Owners contemplate that the City and the Village would remain
the sole members of the reorganized Association, and that the Village would own 100%
of the reorganized Association; and
WHEREAS, the City asserts and the Village shall confirm the City's assertion by
adopting a comparable resolution that the Association owns and will retain ownership
of the Rio Grande Tap and the Associated Pipeline, commonly referred to as the
Rio Grande High Pressure Main Line, and the El Paso Natural Gas Company firm
transportation contract No. 9823; and that the City owns and will retain ownership of
the following major infrastructures which are used in part by the City to deliver natural
gas to the Association and to monitor and control such deliveries:
high pressure
transmission lines commonly referred to as the Tillman Line and the Afton Line,
regulator stations commonly referred to as the West Mesa Regulator Station, the
Martinez Regulator Station, and the Sonoma Metering Station, and the SCADA System;
and
WHEREAS, with the adoption of this Resolution, the reorganization of the
Association shall be approved by the City and, upon completion of the reorganization
as provided for in this Resolution, the City will no longer have any economic ownership
in the Association, and will have received its full asset distribution as contemplated by
this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF
THE CITY OF LAS CRUCES THAT:
(I)
REORGANIZATION
A.
As a result of the reorganization as set forth herein, the Village shall
remain a member of the Association and shall have 100% ownership interest in the
reorganized Association, and the City shall remain a member of the Association to meet
the statutory requirements of NMSA 1978, Section3-28-1 (1993) and shall have no
ownership interest in the reorganized Association. Effective with the adoption of fully
compatible resolutions by the Owners approving the reorganization of the Association,
the City's appointees to the Association's existing Board of Directors shall vote in favor
of amending the Association's Articles of Incorporation in compliance with NMSA
1978, Section 3-28-6 (1990), by separate Board Resolution, to perfect the changes
contemplated herein. The amended Articles of Incorporation shall provide that the
Village shall be solely entitled to appoint all members of the new Board of Directors for
the reorganized Association; and shall set forth the new service area for the reorganized
Association identical with the service areas set forth in Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2"
attached hereto and as otherwise provided in this Resolution.
B.
The Village shall then appoint all members of the new Board of Directors
for the reorganized Association in accordance with the amended Articles of
Incorporation. The new Board shall be solely entitled to amend the existing bylaws in
compliance with NMSA 1978, Section3-28-8 (1965) as it deems necessary.
C.
Effective with the appointment of the new Board, the new Board shall
have the sole power to act on behalf of the Association, including proceeding with any
future dissolution of the Association, with no further involvement by the City.
D.
The City shall continue to operate the reorganized Association in
accordance with the Cooperative Services Agreement dated June 21, 1971 currently in
effect as between the Association and the City by using the existing cost allocation
system, which is based on the City's actual costs, for a period not to exceed one year
from the date of this Resolution. The City's Utilities Department administrative charges
for gas administration and for the gas analyst salary expenditures paid in monthly
installments by the Association will be reduced by 50%. The City's annual MIS fee of
$90,321 paid in monthly installments by the Association will be reduced by 50%. The
City's annual administrative charge for finance functions of $82,433 paid in monthly
installments by the Association will be reduced by 50%.
In addition, no capital
improvements shall be made by the City without the prior approval of the new Board.
(E)
The City shall honor the Main Line Reimbursement Agreements between
the Association and developers of the following subdivisions which are located within
the City service area: High Desert Phase II, Las Lomitas, Rincon Mesa Phase I, Desert
Song Estates Phase I, and Desert Wind Estates; for new customer connections made
after August 1, 2010 to the gas main extensions referenced in the individual
reimbursement agreements until the agreements expire. The reorganized Association
shall be solely responsible for reimbursing developers pursuant to the reimbursement
agreements for new customer connections within the above referenced subdivisions
made on or before August 1, 2010, and for paying all of the Association's other financial
obligations, including the Main Line Reimbursement Agreements with developers of
subdivisions located outside of the City service area.
(II)
BOND PAYMENT
A.
Payment of the Association's outstanding revenue bond shall be made as
follows: Utilizing cash reserves and other cash accounts held by the Association, the
bond will be paid in full by the reorganized Association after July l, 2010 without cash
contribution by the City. The new Board shall direct bond counsel, in coordination with
City staff as fiscal agent, to prepare the appropriate documentation.
B.
After payment of the bond and transfer of the customer deposits as
provided below, any cash assets whether positive or negative remaining on the books of
the Association shall belong solely to the Association.
(III)
SERVICE AREAS
In order to avoid future service area disputes between the reorganized
Association and the City, and to implement the intent of the Task Force's
recommendation to transfer certain Association customers to the City, the following
service areas are established as between the City and the reorganized Association:
A.
City Service Area. The City shall be exclusively entitled to serve areas
shown on Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2" attached and incorporated herein as well as the
Aldershot of New Mexico, Inc. (" Aldershot") site. The City's service area as shown on
the exhibits generally includes the existing City limits; New Mexico State University;
those portions of the ETZ west and south of the City's western municipal boundaries;
and those portions of the ETZ east of I-25. However, the City's service area shown on
the Exhibits shall control over the general description set forth above. Further, if there
is any inconsistency between the map identified as Exhibit "A-1" and the geographic
description identified as Exhibit" A-2", Exhibit" A-2" shall control.
B.
Reorganized Association Service Area. The reorganized Association shall
be exclusively entitled to serve all of the area outside of the City service area as shown
on the exhibits.
C.
Aldershot. The Aldershot site is located off of south Main Street at 3905
Meadowlark Lane, is a current City gas customer, and shall remain a City gas customer
even though the site is located within the reorganized Association service area as shown
on the exhibits.
D.
Future Annexations by the Town of Mesilla. The Town of Mesilla as its
boundaries exist as of the date of this Resolution will be within the service area of the
reorganized Association. If the Town of Mesilla annexes lands within the City's service
area as shown on Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2" and the City is not providing natural gas
service within any part of the annexed lands, then the reorganized Association may
serve the newly annexed area. If the Town of Mesilla annexes lands within the City's
service area as shown on Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2" and the City is providing natural
gas service within any part of the annexed lands, then the reorganized Association shall
compensate the City for the loss of the individual gas customers within the annexed
area as negotiated between the parties and may then serve the newly annexed area.
E.
Customer Accounts.
The City and the reorganized Association shall
coordinate (1) the exchange of customer account information based on the
establishment of the respective service areas set forth herein, which information shall
include related accounts receivable; and (2) the transfer of cash associated with
customer deposits, including any accrued interest, for Association customers being
transferred to the City and for City customers within the Rios Encantados subdivision
and along Carver Road being transferred to the reorganized Association. Accounts
receivable shall be equitably allocated between the City and the reorganized
Association as agreed to between City staff and the reorganized Association.
(IV)
INFRASTRUCTURE AND RIGHT OF WAY
A.
Infrastructure Within City Service Area. Any distribution infrastructure
and gas meters owned by the Association within the City service area shown on the
exhibits and associated with the Association customers being transferred to the City
shall be transferred to the City.
B.
Infrastructure Within the Reorganized Association's Service Area. Any
distribution infrastructure and gas meters owned by the City within the reorganized
Association's service area shown on Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2" and associated with the
City customers within the Rios Encantados subdivision and along Carver Road being
transferred to the reorganized Association, shall be transferred to the reorganized
Association.
c.
Easements and Rights of Way.
Easements and rights of way
authorizations associated with the distribution infrastructure to be transferred between
the City and the reorganized Association shall be assigned as appropriate.
D.
Martinez Regulator Station. The Martinez Regulator Station located on
City property along west Picacho Avenue is fully owned by the City. However, the
City will provide the reorganized Association with scheduled access and emergency
access to the Martinez Regulator Station to monitor and regulate the pressures of gas
delivered to the reorganized Association's system. If sufficient City owned property
exists, the City will grant an easement at no cost to the reorganized Association for a
new regulator station within the Martinez Regulation Station site.
E.
Future Taps. The City will grant the reorganized Association additional

It is mutually understood and agreed to by both parties that during periods of high demand upon
Seller's system, emergency, or during construction or maintenance, at its sole option, without liability, Seller may require
Buyer to reduce, suspend, or otherwise eliminate, in total or in part, Buyer's consumption of natural gas. Seller shall notify
Buyers designated representative at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to service interruption, except in the event of an
emergency interruption, in which case notice shall be given as soon as possible. Seller will use due diligence to eliminate
the condition responsible for any such reduction, suspension or elimination of natural gas consumption. At such time as
Seller determines that such condition requiring reduction, suspension or elimination of natural gas consumption no longer
exists; Seller shall promptly notify Buyer that Buyer may resume its consumption of natural gas. Notice under this Section
may be given orally if confirmed in writing by telecopier within forty-eight (48) hours.
7.3
Buyer shall consume all of the gas purchased hereunder for F & A Dairy-related purposes and shall
not resell such gas.

8.1
All natural gas delivered shall be measured in 1,000 cubic foot units (Mcf) at standard conditions of
fourteen and 73 one hundredth (14.73) pounds per square inch absolute base pressure, sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit base
temperature and six tenths (0.6) specific gravity.
8.2
Seller shall deliver gas at pressures according to the following: The Seller will maintain at the point of
delivery into the F & A Dairy-owned distribution system a regulated service pressure within ten percent (10%) of the
pressure requested by F & A Dairy. Seller shall not be required to maintain more than sixty (60) pounds per square inch
gauge, unless prior mutual agreement is obtained.
SECTION 9.
POINTS OF DELIVERY
9.1
The point(s) of delivery shall be the outlet of the Seller's meter or regulator, whichever is farthest
downstream, at the F & A Dairy Facility located at the West Mesa Industrial Park.
SECTION 10.
METERING
10.1
All meters installed by the Seller shall remain the Seller's property and shall be maintained by the
Seller. Buyer shall provide sufficient space for the installation of such measurement equipment at locations mutually agreed

the terms of this Agreement. The Buyer may, at its option and at its sole expense, install, maintain, and operate
downstream from any delivery point metering equipment to check the quantity and quality of the natural gas delivered by
Seller. The parties and their agents shall have free access to the premises for the purpose of reading meters, maintaining
the equipment, and all activities related to providing services under the terms of this Contract. However, the Buyer and
its agents shall at no time perform any act whatsoever upon Seller's equipment without Seller's express consent.
10.2
Any meter shall be accurate at the time of installation and the accuracy thereof may be verified by tests
by the Seller at reasonable intervals thereafter or upon Buyer's request. Copies of all test results shall be forwarded by
Seller to the Buyer. Before any tests shall be made, the Seller shall notify the Buyer of the date of testing and such tests
shall be made in the presence of representatives of both parties, if so desired. Any corrections or adjustments of any
meters found to be inaccurate shall be promptly made. The expense of any test requested by the Buyer shall be borne
by the Buyer if the measurement equipment is found to be in error not more than two percent (2%).
10.3
Buyer shall not be liable for any undercharges on bills paid more than six (6) months prior to any test
of metering equipment.
10.4
Seller shall have the right to change its metering and regulating equipment from time to time for
maintenance purposes and to install remote meter reading devices or other equipment Seller deems necessary for
monitoring Buyer's delivery of natural gas. Buyer agrees to allow Seller the right to install electric power supply for
electronic metering devices in close proximity to metering equipment, as Seller deems necessary.
SECTION 11.

11. 1
In the event of either party hereto being rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry
out its obligations under this Agreement, other than to make payments due hereunder, it is agreed that the obligations of
such party, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended during the continuation of any inability
so caused but for no longer period; and such cause shall as far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch;
