Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract] |
Schedule of Environmental Loss Contingencies by Site [Table Text Block] | The following is a summary of our remediation status and estimated costs to implement clean-up of our key MGP sites:
MGP Site (Jurisdiction) | Status | Estimated Cost to Clean Up (Expect to Recover through Rates)
West Palm Beach (Florida) | Remedial actions approved by Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been implemented on the east parcel of the site. Similar remedial actions expected to be implemented on other remaining portions. | Between $4.5 million to $15.4 million, including costs associated with the relocation of FPU’s operations at this site, which is necessary to implement the remedial plan, and any potential costs associated with future redevelopment of the properties.
Sanford (Florida) | In March 2018, the EPA approved a "site-wide ready for anticipated use" status, which is the final step before delisting a site. Construction has been completed and restrictive covenants are in place to ensure protection of human health. The only remaining activity is long-term groundwater monitoring. It is unlikely that FPU will incur any significant future costs associated with the site. | FPU's remaining remediation expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, are anticipated to be less than $10,000.
Winter Haven (Florida) | Remediation is ongoing. | Not expected to exceed $425,000, which includes costs of implementing institutional controls at the site.
Seaford (Delaware) | Proposed plan for implementation approved by Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control in July 2017. Site assessment is ongoing. | $273,000 to $465,000.
Cambridge (Maryland) | Currently in discussions with MDE. | Unable to estimate.
