 the F.J. Doyle Salvage facility in Leonard, Texas.  The facility operated as a scrap salvage business during the 1970s to the 1990s.  In May 2018 the EPA investigated the site surface and sub-surface soils, and in November 2018 the EPA conducted a removal action, including disposal of PCB contaminated soils.  Entergy responded to the EPA’s information requests in May and July 2019.  In November 2020 the EPA sent Entergy and other PRPs a demand letter seeking reimbursement for response costs totaling $4 million expended at the site.  Liability and PRP allocation of response costs are yet to be determined.  In December 2020, Entergy responded to the demand letter, without admitting liability or waiving any rights, indicating that it would engage in good faith negotiations with the EPA with respect to the demand.  An initial meeting between the EPA and the PRPs took place in June 2021.  Negotiations between the PRPs and the EPA are ongoing.

Litigation

Entergy and its subsidiaries use legal and appropriate means to contest litigation threatened or filed against them, but the states in which Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries operate have proven to be unusually litigious environments.  Judges and juries in these states have demonstrated a willingness to grant large verdicts, including punitive damages, to plaintiffs in personal injury, property damage, and business tort cases.  The litigation environment in these states poses a significant business risk to Entergy.
