can also require us to install pollution control equipment at facilities where it operates, and correct environmental hazards, including
payment of all or part of the cost to remediate sites where activities of other parties, caused environmental contamination. These laws
and regulations may impose numerous obligations that are applicable to our operations, including acquisition of a permit or other approval
