Asset Retirement Obligation [Abstract]

Changes In Liability For Asset Retirement Obligations

Changes in our liability for asset retirement obligations for the years 2018 and 2017 are presented in the table below:

(in millions)	2018				2017
Beginning Balance	$	268.7			$	262.6
Accretion recorded as a regulatory asset/liability	11.1				10.3
Additions	63.3			(1)	2.4
Settlements	(5.9		)		(15.6		)
Change in estimated cash flows	14.8			(1)	9.0			(2)
Ending Balance	$	352.0			$	268.7

⁽¹⁾In 2018, $59.8 million of additions and $17.7 million of the change in estimated cash flows are attributed to costs associated with refining the CCR compliance plan. See Note 18-D, "Environmental Matters," for additional information on CCRs.

⁽²⁾The change in estimated cash flows for 2017 is primarily attributed to changes in estimated costs and settlement timing for electric generating stations and the changes in estimated costs for retirement of gas mains.
