the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges. The liabilities were estimated based on current costs and are not discounted. Environmental costs related to these matters include remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities.
To date, the company has spent approximately $9.0 million and $84.4 million related to environmental costs at the Huntsville site and the Norco site, respectively. The subsequent environmental costs at the Huntsville site are estimated to be between $5.4 million and $17.1 million and at the Norco site they are estimated to be between $20.8 million and $37.1 million.
The company expects the liabilities associated with such ongoing remediation to be resolved over an extended period of time with current estimates extending beyond 2040. The accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, the efficacy and long-term costs of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, orders by administrative agencies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently estimate the ultimate potential costs related to either of the two sites.
To date, the company has recovered approximately $47.3 million from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at these sites and continues to pursue additional recoveries from one insurer related solely to the Huntsville site. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries
It is reasonably possible that the company will need to adjust the liabilities noted above to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent that such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. Future changes in estimates of the costs, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
