 the Line 901 incident. We are vigorously defending this remaining lawsuit, which has not yet been set for trial, and believe we have strong defenses. Taking into account the costs that we have included in our total estimate of costs for the Line 901 incident and considering what we regard as very strong defenses to the claims made in our remaining Line 901 lawsuits, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of such remaining lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

L48 Pipeline Release. In March of 2025, our subsidiary, Pacific Pipeline System LLC, experienced a crude oil release of approximately 125 barrels on a segment of the Line 48 pipeline in Carson, California. Clean-up and remediation activities were conducted in cooperation with applicable state and federal regulatory agencies. An investigation by the California Office of the State Fire Marshall is not complete. To date no charges, fines or penalties have been assessed against us with respect to this release; however, it is possible that charges, fines or penalties may be assessed against us in the future. We provided notification to our applicable insurance carriers and intend to pursue reimbursement of any costs incurred in excess of our $10 million self-insured retention.
