(10) Flood For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax expenses, net of anticipated insurance recoveries of approximately $1.5 million, $(1.0) million and $0.6 million, respectively, associated with the June/July 2007 flood and associated crude oil discharge. The costs are reported in direct operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. With the final insurance proceeds received under the Company's property insurance policy and builders' risk policy during the first quarter of 2009, in the amount of approximately $11.8 million, all property insurance claims and builders' risk claims were fully settled, with all remaining claims closed under these policies only. At December 31, 2011, the remaining receivable from the environmental insurance carriers was not anticipated to be collected in the next twelve months, and therefore has been classified as a non-current asset. See Note 17 ("Commitments and Contingencies") for additional information regarding environmental and other contingencies related to the crude oil discharge that occurred on July 1, 2007.
