Accrued Casualty and Other Long-Term Liabilities Sample Clauses

Accrued Casualty and Other Long-Term Liabilities. The Company is subject to proceedings arising out of historic disposal of fuel and oil used in the railway business. It is the Company’s policy to accrue environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted. Florida East Coast Railway (FECR), the Company’s rail subsidiary, is presently involved in proceedings initiated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the remediation of a site in which USEPA has named FECR a potentially responsible party (PRP). USEPA has alleged that FECR caused certain materials, including waste oil, to be disposed of at the site over a period of years. There are many other PRPs named by USEPA for this site. The USEPA offered all named PRPs an opportunity to participate in its new pilot allocation program. This program is similar to binding arbitration. Since FECR is participating in this program, its share of the liability for the remediation will be fixed. FECR is working with other PRPs and USEPA to resolve this matter consistent with the allocator’s decision. FECR believes that its liability for the remediation of the site will not be material. The Company has accrued its estimated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for the site. Based upon management’s evaluation, the Company does not expect to incur additional amounts, even though the Company may have joint and several liability. FECR is investigating sites where contaminants from historic railroad operations may have migrated off-site through the movement of groundwater or contaminated soil. FECR, if required as a result of the investigation, will develop an appropriate plan of remediation, with possible alternatives including natural attenuation and groundwater pumping and treatment. Historic railroad operations at the Company’s main rail facilities have resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. In consultation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the Company operates and maintains groundwater treatment systems at its primary facilities. The Company monitors a small number of sites where properties were leased. Based on management’s ongoing review and monitoring of the sites, the Company does not expect to incur material additional costs, if any, on these sites.
