 under scrutiny from the public, various state regulatory bodies, as well as environmental and other groups asserting that the operation of certain deep injection produced water handling facilities has contributed to specific induced seismic events. For additional information, please see “Legislation or regulatory initiatives intended to address seismic activity, over-pressurization or subsidence could restrict drilling, completion and production activities, as well as our ability to handle produced water gathered from our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.”

New laws or regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations related to the water disposal process may adversely impact the produced water handling industry. For example, in their past legislative sessions, the New Mexico and Texas legislatures both considered bills that would have impacted produced water production and management activities in each state.

We cannot predict whether any federal, state or local laws or regulations will be enacted and, if so, what actions any such laws or regulations would require or prohibit. However, any restrictions on produced water handling could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs and regulatory burdens that could make it more difficult or costly to perform produced water management, which would negatively impact our profitability.

We and our customers are subject to environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations that may expose us to significant liabilities for penalties, damages or costs of remediation or compliance.

Our operations and the operations of our customers are subject to federal, regional, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of natural resources, the environment and health and safety aspects of our operations, including laws and regulations related to waste management, such as the transportation and disposal of wastes and other materials. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations on our operations and the operations of our customers, including the acquisition of permits to take water from surface and underground sources, construct pipelines or handling facilities, drill wells or conduct other regulated activities. Such laws and regulations may also result in the incurrence of capital expenditures to mitigate or prevent releases of materials from our facilities or from customer locations where we are providing services, the imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations, and the application of specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection. Any failure on our part or the part of our customers to comply with these laws and regulations could result in restrictions on operations, assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, delays, suspension or revocation of permits and issuance of corrective action orders or injunctions requiring the performance of investigatory, remedial or curative activities.
