        We assumed asset retirement obligations ("ARO") in our acquisition of the Partnership. During 2012, we also recorded asset retirement obligations related to the Canadian Hills project. We recorded these retirement obligations as we are legally required to remove these facilities at the end of their useful lives and restore the sites to their original condition. The following table represents the fair value of ARO at the date of acquisition along with the additions, reductions and accretion related to our ARO for the year ended December 31, 2012:
