Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Liabilities Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $38.5 million and $37.3 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Management estimates that expenditures associated with these environmental liabilities will be paid over the next 10 years. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $2.9 million and $(5.8) million, respectively, and the year-to-date amount included a $10.6 million favorable adjustment to a Clean Air Act – Section 185 liability recognized in second quarter 2013. Environmental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $3.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Environmental Receivables Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at December 31, 2013 were $4.8 million, of which $2.1 million and $2.7 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at September 30, 2014 were $5.2 million, of which $1.4 million and $3.8 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Other In January 2014, we placed into operation a 36-mile pipeline we constructed in Texas and New Mexico at a cost of approximately $36.4 million. We entered into a long-term throughput and deficiency agreement with a customer on this pipeline, which contains minimum volume/payment commitments. This agreement is being accounted for as a direct financing lease. We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation those disclosed in Item 1, Legal Proceedings of Part II of this report on Form 10-Q. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
