Settlement payment | $ 130.0 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Description of settlement payment subject to debtors agreement |  |  |  |  |  | On December 29, 2016, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) and a statement revealing information from the Debtors. The Plan foresaw a US$ 130 million Settlement Payment under the Agreement. The Plan (as filed) provided that if the Agreement was approved, portions of the US$ 130 million Settlement Payment would be deposited into (i) a liquidating trust for distribution to creditors and (ii) an Environmental Response Trust for use in remediation. Moreover, if the Agreement were approved, the Debtors’ Plan would likely be confirmed and the claims against the YPF Entities, including the alter-ego claims, would be settled and released in exchange for the US$ 130 million Settlement Payment. | On December 29, 2016, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) and a statement revealing information from the Debtors.

Estimate on administrative environmental issues for record of decision |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ 1,382.0 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Environmental remediation for record of decision |  |  |  |  |  | The ROD requires the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River by bank-to-bank dredging, to a depth of approximately 5 to 30 feet in the federal navigation channel from mile 0 to mile 1.7, and approximately 2.5 feet in the remaining areas of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River. A two-foot thick cap will be installed over the dredged areas. Contaminated segments would be transported to disposal sites outside the State. The EPA estimates the whole project will take approximately 11 years, including 1 year for negotiations among potentially responsible parties, 3 to 4 years for project design and 6 years for its implementation. | The ROD requires the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River by bank-to-bank dredging, to a depth of approximately 5 to 30 feet in the federal navigation channel from mile 0 to mile 1.7, and approximately 2.5 feet in the remaining areas of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River.
