Environmental	Environmental We expensed $13.2 million, $46.1 million and $14.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for environmental remediation obligations. In 2012, we increased certain environmental cost accruals to reflect revisions to certain cost estimates and the time frame for which certain environmental remediation and monitoring activities are expected to occur.

These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time (up to 30 years for certain projects).

The entire disclosure for environmental loss contingencies, such as presence of hazardous waste, relevant information from reports issued by regulators, and estimated costs to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements. This element may be used for all of an entity's disclosures about environmental loss contingencies.
