Hazardous Substances and Hydrocarbon Wastes

Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to the management and release of hazardous substances, non-hazardous wastes, hazardous wastes and petroleum hydrocarbons. These laws and regulations generally regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous waste and may impose strict liability and joint and several liability for the investigation and remediation of affected areas where hazardous substances may have been released or disposed.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), which is also known as Superfund, and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the former and present owners and operators of the site where the release occurred and the transporters and generators of hazardous substances found at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability and strict liability for the costs of investigating and remediating the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. We handle materials that may be regulated as hazardous substances as defined under CERCLA, or similar state statutes, in the course of our ordinary operations, but we are unaware of any liabilities for which we may be held responsible that would have a material adverse effect on us.

We also generate and accept for disposal from our customers wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes. RCRA regulates the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of both non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, but it imposes more stringent requirements on the management of hazardous wastes. In the course of our or our customers’ operations, some amounts of ordinary industrial wastes are generated that may be regulated as hazardous wastes. Most E&P waste, if properly handled, is exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste under RCRA. However, it is possible that certain E&P waste now classified as non-hazardous waste and exempt from regulation as hazardous wastes may in the future be designated and regulated as “hazardous wastes” under RCRA or other applicable statutes. For example, in
