Notice shall be given to the common carrier at least ten (10) days prior to such hearing.

1. Such natural gas cannot reasonably be carried by the named common carrier, because of the difficulty or expense involved;

2. Some other common carrier of natural gas can more conveniently purchase or transport such natural gas; or

3. The gas might dilute or pollute the gas being carried in their line.
