The average depreciation rates for our regulated property are set forth, by segment, in the following table for the periods indicated:
|  | Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Natural Gas Liquids |  | 2.2% |  | 2.2% |  | 2.0%
Natural Gas Pipelines |  | 2.1% |  | 2.1% |  | 2.1%
We incurred costs for construction work in process that had not been paid at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, of $130.5 million, $151.7 million and $544.8 million, respectively. Such amounts are not included in capital expenditures (less AFUDC) on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Impairment Charges - In 2020, we evaluated our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment asset groups and determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived asset groups in the Powder River Basin, western Oklahoma and Kansas were not recoverable and exceeded their estimated fair value. As a result, we recorded noncash impairment charges of $362.3 million, which includes a natural gas processing plant and infrastructure in the Powder River Basin and its related supply contracts and natural gas processing plants and infrastructure in western Oklahoma and Kansas. In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we recorded noncash impairment charges of $71.6 million related primarily to certain inactive assets, as our expectation for future use of the assets changed. These charges are included within impairment charges in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.
