In the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company increased its remedial liabilities for a Superfund site by $1.8 million due to a change in the estimate of the related liabilities. This change in estimate was triggered by the receipt of updated regulatory approval requirements for remediation. Other than this charge, there were no significant charges (benefits) resulting from changes in estimates for remedial liabilities.
