Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Pension and other postretirement benefit plans The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans for certain eligible employees. The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for all of its pension and postretirement benefit plans. Defined pension plan benefits to all nonunion and certain union employees hired after December 31, 2005, were discontinued. Employees that would have been eligible for defined pension plan benefits are eligible to receive additional defined contribution plan benefits. Effective January 1, 2010, all benefit and service accruals for nonunion and certain union plans were frozen. Effective June 30, 2011, all benefit and service accruals for an additional union plan were frozen. These employees will be eligible to receive additional defined contribution plan benefits. Effective January 1, 2010, eligibility to receive retiree medical benefits was modified at certain of the Company's businesses. Employees who attain age 55 with 10 years of continuous service by December 31, 2010, will be provided the current retiree medical insurance benefits or can elect the new benefit, if desired, regardless of when they retire. All other current employees must meet the new eligibility criteria of age 60 and 10 years of continuous service at the time they retire. These employees will be eligible for a specified company funded Retiree Reimbursement Account. Employees hired after December 31, 2009, will not be eligible for retiree medical benefits. Changes in benefit obligation and plan assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were as follows:

Employer contributions and benefits paid in the preceding table include only those amounts contributed directly to, or paid directly from, plan assets. Accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss in the above table includes amounts related to regulated operations, which are recorded as regulatory assets (liabilities) and are expected to be reflected in rates charged to customers over time. Unrecognized pension actuarial losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service lives of active participants for non-frozen plans and over the average life expectancy of plan participants for frozen plans. The market-related value of assets is determined using a five-year average of assets. Unrecognized postretirement net transition obligation is amortized over a 20-year period ending 2012. The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans reflected previously was $435.6 million and $374.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31 were as follows:

The estimated net loss and prior service credit for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost in 2012 are $7.6 million and $85,000, respectively. The estimated net loss, prior service credit and transition obligation for the other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost in 2012 are $1.9 million, $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:
| Pension Benefits |  | Other Postretirement Benefits
| 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Discount rate | 4.16 | % |  | 5.26 | % |  | 4.13 | % |  | 5.21 | %
Expected return on plan assets | 7.75 | % |  | 7.75 | % |  | 6.75 | % |  | 6.75 | %
Rate of compensation increase | N/A |  |  | 4.00 | % |  | 4.00 | % |  | 4.00 | %
Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31 were as follows:
| Pension Benefits |  | Other Postretirement Benefits
| 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Discount rate | 5.26 | % |  | 5.75 | % |  | 5.21 | % |  | 5.75 | %
Expected return on plan assets | 7.75 | % |  | 8.25 | % |  | 6.75 | % |  | 7.25 | %
Rate of compensation increase | 4.00 | % / N/A | * | 4.00 | % |  | 4.00 | % |  | 4.00 | %
* Effective June 30, 2011, all benefit and service accruals for a union plan were frozen. Compensation increases had previously been frozen for all other plans. The expected rate of return on pension plan assets is based on the targeted asset allocation range of 60 percent to 70 percent equity securities and 30 percent to 40 percent fixed-income securities and the expected rate of return from these asset categories. The expected rate of return on other postretirement plan assets is based on the targeted asset allocation range of 65 percent to 75 percent equity securities and 25 percent to 35 percent fixed-income securities and the expected rate of return from these asset categories. The expected return on plan assets for other postretirement benefits reflects insurance-related investment costs. Health care rate assumptions for the Company's other postretirement benefit plans as of December 31 were as follows:
|  |  | 2011 |  |  |  |  | 2010 |
Health care trend rate assumed for next year | 6.0 | % | - | 8.0 | % |  | 6.0 | % | - | 8.5 | %
Health care cost trend rate - ultimate | 5.0 | % | - | 6.0 | % |  | 5.0 | % | - | 6.0 | %
Year in which ultimate trend rate achieved | 1999 |  | - | 2017 |  |  | 1999 |  | - | 2017 |
The Company's other postretirement benefit plans include health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees. The plans underlying these benefits may require contributions by the employee depending on such employee's age and years of service at retirement or the date of retirement. The accounting for the health care plans anticipates future cost-sharing changes that are consistent with the Company's expressed intent to generally increase retiree contributions each year by the excess of the expected health care cost trend rate over 6 percent. Assumed health care cost trend rates may have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have had the following effects at December 31, 2011:
| 1 Percentage Point Increase |  |  | 1 Percentage Point Decrease |
| (In thousands)
Effect on total of service and interest cost components | $ | 171 |  |  | $ | (822 | )
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation | $ | 3,175 |  |  | $ | (10,946 | )
The Company's pension assets are managed by 12 outside investment managers. The Company's other postretirement assets are managed by one outside investment manager. The Company's investment policy with respect to pension and other postretirement assets is to make investments solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plans and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits accrued and defraying the reasonable expenses of administration. The Company strives to maintain investment diversification to assist in minimizing the risk of large losses. The Company's policy guidelines allow for investment of funds in cash equivalents, fixed-income securities and equity securities. The guidelines prohibit investment in commodities and futures contracts, equity private placement, employer securities, leveraged or derivative securities, options, direct real estate investments, precious metals, venture capital and limited partnerships. The guidelines also prohibit short selling and margin transactions. The Company's practice is to periodically review and rebalance asset categories based on its targeted asset allocation percentage policy. The fair value of the Company's pension net plan assets by class is as follows:

Nonqualified benefit plans In addition to the qualified plan defined pension benefits reflected in the table at the beginning of this note, the Company also has unfunded, nonqualified benefit plans for executive officers and certain key management employees that generally provide for defined benefit payments at age 65 following the employee's retirement or to their beneficiaries upon death for a 15-year period. The Company had investments of $76.9 million and $77.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, consisting of equity securities of $38.4 million and $39.5 million, respectively, life insurance carried on plan participants (payable upon the employee's death) of $31.8 million and $30.7 million, respectively, and other investments of $6.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The Company anticipates using these investments to satisfy obligations under these plans. The Company's net periodic benefit cost for these plans was $8.1 million, $7.8 million and $8.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total projected benefit obligation for these plans was $113.8 million and $99.4 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for these plans was $105.7 million and $93.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A weighted average discount rate of 4 percent and 5.11 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a rate of compensation increase of 4 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were used to determine benefit obligations. A discount rate of 5.11 percent and 5.75 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a rate of compensation increase of 4 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were used to determine net periodic benefit cost. The amount of benefit payments for the unfunded, nonqualified benefit plans are expected to aggregate $5.2 million in 2012; $5.9 million in 2013; $5.8 million in 2014; $6.9 million in 2015; $6.8 million in 2016 and $38.3 million for the years 2017 through 2021. Defined contribution plans The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans for eligible employees. Costs incurred by the Company under these plans were $27.1 million in 2011, $24.4 million in 2010 and $20.5 million in 2009. Multiemployer plans The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:
• | Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers
• | If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers
• | If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability
The Company's participation in these plans for the annual period ended December 31, 2011, is outlined in the following table. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2011 and 2010 is for the plan's year-end at December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65 percent and 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. From 2009 to 2010 and 2010 to 2011, contributions by the Company to multiemployer defined benefit pension plans decreased as a result of a reduction in covered employees corresponding to a decline in overall business.

The Company also contributes to a number of multiemployer other postretirement plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees.

The Company's total contributions to its multiemployer other postretirement plans, which also includes contributions to active multiemployer health and welfare plans, were $24.0 million, $24.7 million and $28.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
