CONTINGENCIES [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	14. Contingencies The Company is party to various legal proceedings from time to time related to its normal business operations. Currently, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings. In 2010, the Company was contacted by the State of Illinois regarding potential ground contamination at its plant in Wheeling, Illinois. The Company entered into a voluntary remediation program in Illinois and engaged an environmental clean-up company to perform testing and develop a remediation plan. Since 2010, the environmental company completed a number of tests and the design of a final remediation system was approved in the second quarter of 2018. As of the end of the of 2019, the remediation plan was completed. The State of Illinois has received the documentation related to the remediation and is in the process of approving the final documentation. The total estimated cost for the remediation system is anticipated to be approximately $50,000, which the Company previously accrued for and expensed in prior years. In 2016, the Company created a plan to remediate a landfill of spent foundry sand maintained at the Company’s metal casting facility in New York. This plan was agreed to by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (the “DEC”) on March 27, 2018. Based on estimates provided by the Company’s environmental engineers, the anticipated cost to remediate and monitor the landfill was $430,000. The Company accrued for and expensed the entire $430,000 in the first quarter of 2018 and fiscal 2017. In the Fall of 2018, detailed construction drawings were prepared by an outside consultant in conjunction with informal progress reviews by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”). Long-term groundwater monitoring commenced in April of 2019. Verbal approval for the closure plan was received from the NYSDEC in May of 2019. Written approval is anticipated in the first quarter of 2020. Construction of the closure remedies, including improved drainage system, regrading, and installation of a low permeability cap, is anticipated in spring of 2020. In the Summer of 2020, following the completion of construction work, a closure report and maintenance plan will be prepared for the NYSDEC. This closure report and maintenance plan will document the work done and request acknowledgment of satisfactory completion of the Order on Consent between Frazer and Jones, and the NYSDEC.
