Leases Marathon leases a wide variety of facilities and equipment under operating leases, including land and building space, office equipment, production facilities and transportation equipment.
Most long-term leases include renewal options and, in certain leases, purchase options.
Future minimum commitments for capital lease obligations (including sale-leasebacks accounted for as financings) and for operating lease obligations having remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:
## Table 0 ##
In connection with past sales of various plants and operations, Marathon assigned and the purchasers assumed certain leases of major equipment used in the divested plants and operations of United States Steel.
In the event of a default by any of the purchasers, United States Steel has assumed these obligations; however, Marathon remains primarily obligated for payments under these leases.
Minimum lease payments under these operating lease obligations of $42 million have been included above and an equal amount has been reported as sublease rentals.
Of the $166 million present value of net minimum capital lease payments, $122 million was related to obligations assumed by United States Steel under the Financial Matters Agreement.
Of the $363 million total minimum operating lease payments, $13 million was assumed by United States Steel under the Financial Matters Agreement.
During 2003, Marathon purchased two LNG tankers which were previously leased.
A $17 million charge was recorded on the termination of the operating leases.

Contingencies and Commitments Marathon is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment.
Certain of these matters are discussed below.
The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to Marathon’s consolidated financial statements.
However, management believes that Marathon will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably.
Environmental matters – Marathon is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment.
These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites.
Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $110 million and $117 million.
It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed.
Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in cleanup efforts related to underground storage tanks at retail marketing outlets, were $65 million and $86 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively
In July, 2002, Marathon received a Notice of Enforcement from the State of Texas for alleged excess air emissions from its Yates Gas Plant and production operations on its Kloh lease.
A settlement of this matter was finalized in 2004, with Marathon and its co-owners paying a civil penalty of $74,000 and the donation of land as a Supplemental Environmental Project in lieu of a further penalty of $74,000.
Marathon is owner of a 38% interest in the facilities.
In May, 2003, Marathon received a Consolidated Compliance Order & Notice or Potential Penalty from the State of Louisiana for alleged various air permit regulatory violations.
This matter was settled for a civil penalty of $148,628 and awaits formal closure with the State.
In August of 2004, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (‘‘WVDEP’’) submitted a draft consent order to MAP regarding MAP’s handling of alleged hazardous waste generated from tank cleanings in the State of West Virginia.
The proposed order seeks a civil penalty of $337,900.
MAP has met with the WVDEP and discussions are ongoing in an attempt to resolve this matter.
