Divestitures, Asset Impairments and Unusual Items | 9. Divestitures, Asset Impairments and Unusual Items For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a $17 million charge in the first quarter in our Corporate and Other segment to adjust an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary’s estimated potential share of the liability for a proposed environmental remediation plan at a closed site, as discussed in Note 6. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net gains of $17 million consisting of (i) an $8 million gain in the first quarter from divestitures of certain ancillary operations in our Other segment and (ii) a $35 million pre-tax gain in the third quarter from the recognition of cumulative translation adjustments on the divestiture of certain non-strategic Canadian operations in our East Tier segment. These gains were partially offset by (i) a $20 million charge pertaining to reserves for loss contingencies in our Corporate and Other segment and (ii) $6 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to our WM Renewable Energy business within our Other segment.
