Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Business Disposition | Note 3—Business disposition — Waste Control Specialists LLC: On November 18, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Rockwell Holdco, Inc. ("Rockwell"), for the sale of WCS to Rockwell. The agreement, as amended, is for $270 million in cash plus the assumption of all of WCS’ third-party indebtedness incurred prior to the date of the agreement. Additionally, Rockwell and its affiliates will assume all financial assurance obligations related to the WCS business. Rockwell is the parent company of EnergySolutions, Inc. Completion of the sale is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of U.S. anti-trust approval. On November 16, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an anti-trust action in the U.S. federal district court for the District of Delaware styled United States of America vs. Energy Solutions, Inc., et al (Case No. 1:16-cv-01056-UNA), seeking an injunction to enjoin completion of the sale of WCS. Pursuant to our agreement with Rockwell, Rockwell and its affiliates are required, with our cooperation and assistance, to vigorously contest and resist such antitrust action. Trial before the federal district court was completed on May 5, 2017. Assuming all closing conditions are satisfied, including the receipt of U.S. anti-trust approval, the sale is expected to close by sometime in the third quarter of 2017. There can be no assurance, however, that the parties will be successful in contesting and resisting such antitrust action, that receipt of U.S. anti-trust approval will be obtained, that all closing conditions will be satisfied, or that any such sale of WCS would be completed. Due to, among other things, the size of our WCS business relative to our other businesses in terms of both net sales and asset size, the disposal of WCS would not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our consolidated operations and financial results under the guidance in ACS 205-20. Accordingly, assuming the sale of WCS is completed, WCS would not be presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the operations of the Waste Management Segment. Significant items included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to WCS at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 included:
